god-tier foods that filter tastelets
>>22228941iykyk.
>>22228941I’m quite certain most “tastelets” would go wild for basically a savoury filled doughnut with mayonnaise and other shit on top so not sure what your point is here
>>22229304Now mention the fact that the main flavor profile is that of octopus. Yeah now suddenly the vast majority of people will be disgusted by it
>>22229304Bonito flakes and octopus do filter 90% of the population desu senpai
>>22228941I don't know if this has cumulatively filtered too many people because child-minded picky eaters have probably never even heard of takoyaki. It's typically offered at sushi places and other asian-style restaurants that they would never set foot in. I think if you listed the ingredients out then they would refuse to even try it so I agree that it would 100% filter them if they ever had the opportunity. And that's a shame because I fucking love takoyaki and I've seen places take it off the menu because of a lack of demand.
>>22228941
>>22229495Yeah, everyone I’ve introduced to this is initially grossed out by the thought. >>22228941Beef tongueAlso ceviche
>>22229495>>22228941>nobody likes to eat shitding dong ding >if I eat shit I will be a special snowflake>ermm akshully eating shit is based >if you don't like eating shit you're stupid*tips fedora*
>>22229599>child-minded>posts tranimeIrony.
>>22229855
>>22229878> tranimeYou wish
>>22229855>>22229495>octopus is exotic and “shit”Keklmao. Stick to chicken tendies and beans on toast
>>22228941>>22229495The texture of the octopus is tough and chewy compared to the rest of it, but I really enjoy takoyaki when it's served hot and fresh. :)I haven't had it in a long while but seeing OP's image makes me want some now.
>>22229889Not them but yeah, octopus is exotic depending on the country. It would be cool if it wasn't because it's tasty.
>>22229917It astounds me that something as innocuous as octopus or squid is considered exotic by people. This is something only done by Brits or especially stupid Americans from the interior of the country
>>22229922>It astounds me that something as innocuous as octopus or squid is considered exotic by people.If an ingredient is not used widely in a population then it will be considered exotic. It's a pretty basic concept, you'd have to be a child for something like that to astound you.
>>22229926Words have meaning beyond their dictionary definition, it’s called subtext or connotation. “Exotic” usually carries the connotation that it is unpalatable because it is strange. Someone would call fried crickets exotic or “too exotic for me.” Octopus isn’t exotic.
>>22229931That didn’t dispute what anonkun said
>>22229940>it astounds me that people consider octopus exoticOctopus, literally exotic, yes. Octopus exotic in that it’s weird foreign food, no. Taking things too literally is a classic sign of autism.
>>22229897If you use quality octopus, it’ll be nice and tender
>>22229538There's a huge variety of takoyaki.You don't have to use octopus and bonito flakes.You can get chicken takoyaki, cheese takoyaki, ham and spicy kimchi takoyaki.There's also vegan alternatives.Takoyaki is a super popular street food throughout Asia.I bet in India they do curry takoyaki
>>22229931>“Exotic” usually carries the connotation that it is unpalatable because it is strange.>unpalatableNo it fucking doesn't. If anything, a food being described as "exotic" typically has a positive connotation, implying that it is a rare commodity that is exciting or mysterious. If it was to be described as unpalatable, it would be described as strange or weird. Exotic in terms of foods has a positive connotation.
>>22229831Really depends who makes the ceviche dont need to be buying some off an illegal immigrant without a license
>>22229495>>22229538Don't eat octopuses!
There's a lot and it's becoming more common to be a picky eater and not eat normal things like mushrooms.
>>22228941A slice of 'le 'sars is a great way to filter those that taste with their wallets instead of their tongues - the most obnoxious kind of tastelet
>>22229966Okay, “can carry,” then. “Exotic” could absolutely be equally applied in a positive or negative sense. There are people that would like something because it’s exotic, and there’s also people who would be put off by something because it’s exotic. Obviously, the original post treats “exotic” as a bad thing. “Strange” and “weird” do not make any comment on the origin of a particular thing, unlike “exotic” (which implicitly divides something into the realm of unfamiliar vs familiar by nature of geography or culture). “Strange”/“weird” are less precise terms.
>>22229996little caesars is good when hot but the flavor quality drops substantially as it approaches room temperature. it's honestly impressive because no other pizza I've ever eaten has achieved this strange temperature related flavor dichotomy.
>>22229897>octopus is tough and chewynotice how takoyaki isn't, and you should realize that the word "octopus" or "steak" was never the problem
>>22230002>Obviously, the original post treats “exotic” as a bad thing.If you're talking about >>22229855and>>22229495then no, retard, they just say that octopus tastes like shit(I disagree before you start assuming I agree with them), and one of them implies that eating something shitty just because it's exotic is fucking stupid. That's not saying something is bad because it's exotic, it's saying that something being exotic doesn't mean it's not bad. You would have to be legitimately autistic not to understand that. Neither of them even used the word exotic in the first place, it was you, and now you're trying to say how they treat a word they didn't even use.>strange and weird are less preciseI'm saying that strange and weird would be attached to the word exotic if people are using the word exotic in a negative connotation, but this rarely happens. People saying that a food is exotic is typically a compliment. People saying something negative about something based on its foreign nature would say "weird foreign food". The word foreign has a more neutral connotation. "Exotic" in describing food absolutely does not carry neutral weighting in the positive and negative sense and you're just trying to deflect when you're fucking wrong.
>>22230040Anyone who unironically says “weird foreign food” is too low-IQ to have a 5th-grade level word like exotic in their vocabulary. The point is, and still stands, that exotic quates to “weird foreign” to some>>22229855>>22229495, though it’s true they themselves don’t have such an advanced big word in their repertoire. Meanwhile the two people who actually said “exotic” used it in a neutral sense
>>22229941I’m convinced you replied to the wrong person first
>>22230006I hesitantly tried this recently and was pleasantly surprised! Certainly doesn’t sound like it would be good
>>22229962I'm sure there are. Every time I've seen it on a menu it's octopus though.
>>22228941Liver. If you cant enjoy the most benign and tasty offal there is you just suck. No redemption.
>>22230040Now do anime dub vs sub!
>>22228941Japanese is the only ethnic food I've tried that consistently held up, though their attempts at copying Euro desserts are awful.
>>22230217Sub is the only choice these days. American voice actors are fucking trash now. They killed it in shit like DBZ and trigun, but now they all sound like goofy ass comic relief characters
>>22230269The last good sub was Space Dandy (2014). But I think part of the problem is the type of anime that's getting popular in the US is not conducive to showing off serious voice acting chops. Take some of the recent most successful anime globally, like Demon Slayer or Dandadan, and it's literally meant from the very beginning to be a bunch of screaming kids the entire episode, nothing else. If some serious anime got a serious adaptation I think you'd see some VAs break through.
>>22230284>The last good sub was Space DandyDub I meant damn.
>>22230128>The point isYour only two "points" are being wrong about the connotations of the word exotic in the context of food(this was after being wrong about the basic definition of the word and trying to save face), and outright putting words in the mouths of two people. Neither of those people were shitting on octopus because it was foreign, and exotic equates to "weird foreign" in a negative connotation to almost nobody.You yourself would admit(if you weren't a dishonest fag) that anyone who would make that connection doesn't even know the word exotic to begin with, so the usage of the word in such a way would almost never happen.tl;dr kill yourself very soon.>>22230217sub only
>>22230284Yeah but FLCL was a bunch of screaming and the voice acting was still pretty good. Nothing crazy but definitely acceptable to watch. It's like they do the same voice for every character archetype with the same voice actor. I expect there to be similarities but it's like identical when I turn on a dub now. There's no differentiation between any of their voices and they rarely even fit the character
>>22230338Okay you win, can I suck your exotic cock
>>22230006The tripe stew served at dim sum places is crazy good
>>22229941>admits he got rekt by an autistWant me to make you a free dunce cap? I've got newspaper and a marker right here.
ITT: browns and yellows who can't win wars because their diet is full of literal shit
>>22230376I’m actually making this tomorrow. What should I season the beef with besides paprika?
>>22230917Parsley and sage
Onions filter modern tastelets. I don't know why picky eating had become so acceptable but when I was a kid in the 90s not eating onions meant you were a subhuman extremely picky eater. I learned to eat and love onions in my late teens and 20s because I was sick of being a subhuman who refused to eat onions. Onions are in so many dishes from cuisines all over the world that refusing to eat them cucks you out of sooooooo much food.
>>22230966only allium i don't like is shallots. once saw an old post of an idiot questioning the concept of caramelised onions because they were confused at why someone would put caramel on onions and people were laughing at them for the absurdity, but shallots actually taste like someone tried to candy an onion, the sweetness combined with the concentrated sour-ish allium taste is sickening.>>22230210i have given organ meat a fair try a few times, the taste is horrible. i dunno what to tell you man. only organ that tastes ok is heart.
>>22230006Tripe is unironically nasty.
>>22230966I dont know a single person that doesnt like onions.
>>22228941Literally no real reason to dislike it. Just visceral bias
>>22231052my dad once told me how he used to have beef tongue soup all the time as a kid, but one day he stuck his spoon in and pulled out an entire tongue tip and could never eat it again
>>22231065I had a similar moment eating ribs for lunch right after doing anatomy lab in med school. It put me off for a few years, but I'm no quitter
>>22230674China is currently winning the war against the US though
>>22228941Dominos specialty chicken IS pretty cashmoney my homefillet homeslice wakka wakka! Wooooo!
>>22229970unironically I can't do itthey're the smartest creatures on Earthtastes really good but can't bring myself to do it
>>22231177Yeah but they only live like a year and die after they procreate. Sounds pretty dumb to me. Plus they don't have civilization or am Octopus 4chan so they're really not that advanced. I understand your point though, they're smarter than a lot of people which makes for an uncomfortable moral eating dilemma.
>>22229878Neck yourself
Reminder: if your ethnic food of choice filters white people, that's because it's disgusting.
>>22231191unfortunate reality of living underwater. fire and electricity can't be created there and everything contaminates instantly and decays really fast so technological progression is completely impossible below the waves. you can only build things on dry land and move them underwater for a relatively short while at best because it's a maintenance nightmare
>>22228941takoyaki is great>>22229831>Also cevicheyou should never eat raw meat at all, you might get brain parasites
>>22230376gross eastern european slop. Eat your meatballs in marinara sauce like normal people.
>>22229694again, raw meat is not acceptable human food, it makes you sick and that picture is just barbaric and vile
>>22231191>they don't have Octopus 4chan>he doesn't know
>>22231958Nigga you can't be serious.
>>22231981I know enough people that hate fennel for whatever reason, even tough that stuff is god tier. especially roasted with cumin and a light lemon drizzle
>>22231994For me it's raw with crushed garlic, lemon juice and olive oil
>>22231052I don't know what bothers people so much about tongue. I have one in my mouth right now.
>>22232001have you tried it with red chard and green olives?
>>22231953the acidity from the lemons cooks the fish
>>22231052Best tacos I ever had were cow tongue. It's peak
>>22228941This shit is plebian tier.
In the same vein. I've loved it since I was a kid and ordered some for a girlfriend once and she was disgusted and wouldn't even try it. Dumped that bitch.
>>22231465browns only say this because they are too stupid to understand what table salt is and how to use it. I'm honestly surprised they can use cutlery.whenever they complain about "seasoning" its because the food isn't salty enough
>>22231981I hate fennel and other anise tasting things. I'm not even a particularly picky vegetable eater I just can't stand fennel or similar tasting things.
>>22232583for what is almost always a frozen app thrown into the fryer, this shit is surprisingly fucked up all the time>too old, tastes fishy>cooked too long, literal squid chewing gum>shit breading, basically KFC popcorn chicken>served without marinara and only some horrible jarred aioliwhen it's good it's really good but fuck if most "italian" joints outside of RI struggle with it.
>>22231981Fennel is okay but it's like sesame oil, where it's very strong and people put too much in dishes such that it overpowers other flavors and smells. Nothing wrong with it by principle as a flavor, but in practice it ends up being not great a lot of the time.
>>22229962I get your point. People sell variations of it without octopus. And pretty much any Japanese-inspired filled dough ball is still sold as "takoyaki." I just wanted to call out that takoyaki translates literally to English "octopus grilled". There are some foods similar to takoyaki with their own names, however, like rajioyaki (beef) and choboyaki (konjac - think yam cake).
really REALLY good
>>22228941I love eating octopus, but takoyaki is 90% batter, 9% grease, and 1% octopus. I just don't see the value.
>>22231465>keeps eating it >doesn't understand that in weddings they serve the most non offensive basic food as to please everyone Dumb monkey
>>22234454>boo hoo hoooWhat a little pussy you are
>>22231465>be invited to my friends wedding>they're extremely happy to have me attend>beautiful ceremony>sit down for the reception>begin eating>it's not overspiced so I film a reaction of myself eating the food>include my other friends in the video>continue eating the food
>>22234155You haven’t had good takoyaki then
>>22234684>No True Scotsman
>>22229694Whenever my mom makes some cabbage rolls I like to steal some of the raw meat mixed with cooked rice and its always yummy
>>22230917Onion powder, garlic powder, depending on the portion you're making add some crushed up dissolved boullion cubes, sometimes we add finely shredded cabbage to the filling aswell.
>>22228941More like Taco yucky
>>22228941it sounds way better than it actually is. i always get disappointed and i've tried it at least 3 times. the toppings are good but the gooey doughy center sucks balls and there's hardly any octopusmaybe i need to eat one in japan
>>22229962Ham and kimchi sounds great
>>22230284Space Dandy enjoyers rise up
>>22236095Tuna salad with kimchi is amazing
>>22229977im starting to eat the mushrooms that grow on my trees, no idea why people dont, they are like so much better than store bought you can leave them in the fridge for like 8 days and they wont sludge or go bad
>>22233069Ew
>>22229495>vast majority of people will be disgusted by itnigga its basically calimari. most people in the west have had that.
>>22229855I don't throw this around casually cause it's bad energy but you should actually be tortured and then die,fag
Rye bread is vastly superior to wheat bread
>>22230006Only if prepared well. Whitenoids and low-IQ brownoids often don't wash tripe in a bath of lime and baking soda before cooking.
I absolutely love this stuff, especially with a nice cold beer. I'm always the only one at the table eating it though as pretty much everyone is put off by the thought of eating raw octopus.
>>22230286He’s a dandy guy in Space
>>22230966It kills me because onions make me quite sick and everyone assumes I'm just some picky eater when in fact I love and miss the taste of onions.
>>22231039i do and hes an utter retard
