      My first childhood best friend and I used to make tape recordings on a small handheld tape recorder she had, back in the 80s. I still have a couple of the recordings... they crack me up. One of the things we would do is cook something basic, like cinnamon toast (we were young kids after all, so we didn’t know how to cook much yet), and imitate a Julia Child cooking show while cooking whatever it was we were making. One of us would be Julia, imitating her over the top voice, and the other would be guests with funny voices that would come on the cooking show to help (or royally screw things up and make a disaster haha). It was such a riot.

    19:30 Well, if you are in the wild & know where to look, you too can find the greens to make a fresh salad. There are a bunch of possibilities in someone's backyard.
    You may find some of the leaves taste a bit more bitter than usual. But, properly selected greens will be healthy for you.

    French and many euro food being fancy and many foods like Mexican and Asian especially Chinese food being low and dirty are very interesting conversations. Watch ugly delicious with David Chang. He talks about exactly that and how it relates to culture, subtle racism, and how msg being bad is a result of ignorance perpetuated by an idea that Chinese food is dirtier somehow.

    • @cmmiestcat
      @cmmiestcat 5 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      It's sad really when you think about it.
      Because CHINESE FOOD ARE THE BEST. In fact, ALL ASIAN FOOD ARE FLAVORFUL.
      And French food are basically... snails.

      Any food can be served in a pompous and ridiculous "high class" manner to make it seem fancy. 5 courses, extremely tiny portions, smear a little bit of shit on the side of the plate and voila.
      I'm not sure who you're talking to that describes south american/chinese food as low and dirty. Is that an actual perception or is that just your perception of people's perception?

    Emmy, that was spectacular - a work of genius. I was especially impressed with the tiramisu - though I personally would have left out the peanut butter because I hate nuts, and maybe would have used the jam instead to give it a black forest gateau vibe.
