This thread is just going to be peppered with puns now.

Woke vegetables

came here to make a silly comment. i can see im not needed here.

That is fucking magnificent. If you're not a dad your talent is being wasted on us mere mortals.

I am glad you survived your leaf poisoning

I know folks, my boss and his family, who - if it doesn't come from a box, powder, and/or plastic bag, will not be eating it. It's really sad and I eat whole food in front of him all the time in hopes...

At least door knobs are useful for something.

In Brazil's version of the Shark Tank TV show, they sometimes call for guest "sharks" to show up besides the regular hosts. Once, the founder of China in Box, Brazil's largest Chinese fast food chain (and one of the first in general) was there.

So the participant shows up and his pitch was a device he invented for peeling garlic faster at home. It's basically a blender motor, but with attachments to vibrate the garlic against the container rather than cut through it, so the skin peels off and the garlic is ready for usage. After the pitch, of course, they ask the hosts if they want to invest into their company.

So the Chinese food guy says "oh no, no way I'm investing into that, it's a kitchen appliance - in ten years, nobody will have a kitchen in their homes, they'll use delivery apps for every meal, they won't ever need any cooking apparatus"

And honestly his comments still fill me with rage every single time.

What are you talking about? Every generation in the US knows more about food than the ones before.

Boomers were raised on canned/frozen nonsense and basically had no variety. Their vegetables were underseasoned and overcooked. Their pickiness about cuts of meat left many delicious parts of the animals underappreciated scraps. They knew each fruit as basically one cultivar, like how all apples were the utterly mediocre red delicious. Even their bread was boring.

Their restaurant scene was pathetic, with Italian American food representing the pinnacle of exotic cuisine. Any immigrant opening a restaurant for American diners would have to carefully water down their traditions to fit American tastes and the American supply chain.

No thank you, I'd never travel back in time to eat or cook the way people did 50 years ago. Food is better now, and it's largely because today's cooks and diners know way more about food than people did back then.
