The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

Joking aside, I've been cooking a lot with bourbon.

• Keep a bottle in the freezer. Use it instead of ice water when you're making pie crust. Not only does the alcohol make the crust more tender (alcohol doesn't bind with gluten), it adds a nice malty, smoky taste to apple, pumpkin, or pecan pies.

Vodka will also do, and won't otherwise change your intended flavors.

Note - pie crust made with alcohol subbing in for some of the water is also significantly softer than regular crust, which can make it a bit challenging to work with.

I didn't even know disliking black olives on a pizza was a thing

Some people don't like black olives in any form. Though when in the mood, I can enjoy them as a standalone (pitted, chilled) I'm not super fond of them on pizza myself.

I got to say when it comes to pizza toppings the only things I don't like are things like cod and scallops or onions (I don't know why but the texture of onions baked into the cheese just bothers me). Other than that anything goes

One of the giant no-sells traditionally is anchovies.

An air friend bologna and cheese sandwich is surprisingly good. Really really good.

To be fair, I would seriously no-joking eat this.

Well, the pineapple, blue cheese, and olives are honestly all kind of equivalent - different examples of the same phenomenon. It was the use of ethically-questionable AI art is what put it over the top.

Fair point. I think itnis ethically pretty sketchy, but that courts and regulatory bodies will come to bear on it soon enough.

I'll goof around for a meme (memes in general being a bit sketxhy un terms of IP isage to begin with), but I won't support any commercial usage, nor do I expect thst to have much future.

I, for one, look forward to the day when our AI Moderators are dropping the Banhammer on our ethically suspect AI commenters!

Honestly, AI commenters might be an improvement in some circumstances....

My daughter and I both love black olives. We will eat them on or in anything. My wife and my son despise them. My son is a 3rd year culinary student, which grants him some authority on the matter I very much do not like...

Next time we have one of THOSE threads, I am going to feed the OP into Claude.ai and ask it to write me a winning response.

Because I've been working on the assumption that all y'all are just voices in my head.
