You walk into a restaurant job interview and are asked to cook something with the cumin in front of you. Which of these two bulk cumin do you choose? This is pass/fail, you will not be cooking.

Why would I be fucking around with a restaurant job interview when I'm not a drug addict and I have a real job?
>>
>>21948933
I'd use the unopened one.
>>
>>21948933
I'd use the opened one. FIFO.
>>
>>21948933
left container and I would make hummus whilst ripping on the interviewers about how stupid this is
>>
>>21948933
I'd whip out my own personal spice belt and remove the portable cumin shaker before producing the most delicious roasted drumsticks the interviewer has ever tasted. I would then have sex with his busty daughter to prove my worth as an employee, glazing her supple cheeks and dusting them with a bit more cumin.

>>21948939
They're both opened (one of them minutes ago). Which one looks like quality cumin?
>>

We'll get back to you, thanks for coming in.
>>
>>21948933
>preground cumin
i would turn around and walk out.

>you're laughing?
>he said "CUMIN" and you're laughing.
>>
>>21948933
the one on the left looks slightly greener, so I'd guess it's the fresher cum
>>
>>21949015
one on the right looks like powdered gravy
>>
>You [...] are asked to cook something
>you will not be cooking

>>21948933
Just sniff it, retard. It's easy to tell if cumin's gone rancid.

You made it to the next round.
>>21949195
Yeah

I got the one on the right and the seal wasn't intact and it's had this kind of off flavor and I finally had enough. I got the left one today. The right one looks like saw dust in comparison to the new one so maybe it had dried out.

I was wondering if anyone could tell from looks if cumin was good or if there were different looks it could have.

>>21949060
The test was to see if you picked the one that looked like sawdust.
>>
>>21949218
why do you need that much cumin
>>
>>21949224
Mostly making large batches of taco seasoning at once. Some other things, but nothing that requires a pound at a time.
>>
>not grinding your own cumin seeds
OP is a pompous faggot
>>
>>21949218
Late to post but I figured just based on the pic that the less finely ground on the left would be better than the right in terms of having retained flavor. Also the left container has finger indents that made it seem like McCormick, whereas right container looked cheaper
>>
>>21948952
neither. they’ve already been overprocessed and sitting in a warehouse for months
>>
>>21948933
The right because it's clearly older and if you didn't want me to use it you would have thrown it away.

The left one, it is both superior in colour and hydration.
>>
>>21948933
I choose both and shove them both up the interviewers ass
>>
>>21948933
Why would my boss buy 2 containers of cumin and then require us not to use one of them? Is this a test to see if I can make it to the end without calling the interviewer a retard?
>>
>>21949218
All of the good spices I have had always have a pretty rich color and tend to turn more grey as they go stale.
>>
I don't use cumin
>>
>>21948933
whatever is hiding behind the black bar is what i choose
>>
>>21949980
It was the mccormick label, I didn't want to influence results

AAUUGHH IM CUMIN UUUUUUUHHH
>>
>>21948933
I'd whip out my dick and start jerking off, asking the interviewer which one he wants cum in
>>
>>21948933
Neither, they're both ancient. The left one looks marginally better but the right one is basically mummy dust.
>>
the right one is paler and more clumped up so I would use it to get rid of the older preexisting stock first
>>
>>21948933
I would ask where the whole cumin seeds are.
>>
>>21948933
Both look terrible, the color should be a nice yellow-brown. No idea what they grey shit is.

This is not a real test. No one would ask you to do that to get a cooking job.

I'm a chef who hires people and your post is retarded fantasy nonsense.
>>
>>21949600
>hydration

No, that does not apply to powders. Learn definitions before wielding words you don't understand.
I can't stand dudes who are obsessed with that stupid boat movie.
>>
>>21948933
cumin is trash spice.
>>
>>21949259
no one but midwestern tastelets put cumin in tacos.
>>
>>21950503
Your opinion is incorrect.
>>
>>21950430
This. As a fellow chef who hires people, my usual questions are "how much jail time have you done" and "do you have a pulse"
>>
>>21948936
This.
