Stop Effing Up the Food


No, we need to say the title of this post. And by the look of this picture above, it's been a long time coming. 

Popcorn was not made into the perfect crunchy snack for it to be made into a dressed salad. And whoever thought it will pop inside of a turkey has the driest bird on Thanksgiving. Maybe it will go great inside of that Flaming Hot Cheeto-crusted turkey that went viral. Food Network & this cookbook can not convince me these recipes are good. 

Tiktok hacks me off, frequently. For every charcuterie prep & well-done steak joke videos I see, they are content of trays made with unbagged candy & a ribeye being cooked with a blow dryer. And maybe the inspiration was the no-boil lasagna noodles, but macaroni & cheese fans are up in arms with the clips of the dry macaroni, block of processed cheese, & milk come out of the oven as a creamy soup in a casserole pan. Even I a non-fan of the traditional dish knows that that hack is wrong.

There are starving people out there. There are also bored & impressional ones out there. Too many want to be seen and will try anything. Because if I see another boiled chip, I will scream. That's not how mashed potatoes are made. Real potatoes are heartier. But when news programs like The Insider take an interest and show the video, the clout seed keeps growing.

Just leave food alone. It's getting embarrassing. Before we try to recreate the wheel, let's try some new brands of tires aka recipes start to roll with those.
