"Hey guys, handmand noodle when made correctly is far superior to dried or frozen noodles. Even in restaurants were everything else is bad, I could even praise the noodle. I might give it a shot one of these weekends."
Cue negative comments on how it is hard it is akin to "Like dude, have you even tried?" (No you fuck, read) and how that they having worked in a kitchen know that the Kitchen gods are fickles and love failures (I know, my childhood revolved around a few and some of my earliest jobs were in them).
I swear when it comes to preparation Asian food or really any food, people are such cunts. Of course I won't be as quick or precise like the working in this video making the noodles or anything, even until I'm on my deathbed. I just adore cooking and trying to make things I (and other people) like to eat. It is one of my passions. It (and gardening) also have the trait of safeguards me from ever truly losing access to these dishes from my childhood and culture due to location and even old age. Story time.
Imagine being my Chinese grandma living in a predominately white neighborhood with no access of her own to a car or public transportation to go 3+ hours to the closest Asian community. When she was unable to bring my older brother and I to McDonald (we walked a half to full mile) for breakfast, busted out the potatoes and made some hash browns. Sure it was burnt around the edges and in a big messy pile but childhood me picked off the burnt portion and had the great insides. Okay, maybe with my current palate it would've been bad (she didn't make it again and to be honest, she didn't have time) but you get the picture. In addition to the hash browns she made cookies and soy milk (Now that I think about it, I suspect she also made tofu as well). She also grounded her own meats (ground pork mostly?) and grew her own veggies. I swear, if she had access to shrimps and a steamer to make rice noodle rolls with shrimp, she would.
Now here am I now with my grandma long pass on (closing in on 20 year). I'm doing what she doing above but at my age. So come at me you fucking cunts as I make X dish for the nth time on my road to get it right. I laugh in the fucking face of the revelry of failure by the Kitchen gods. Nobody becomes even remotely good at cooking if they give up. Especially so when dealing with any sort of dough or batter.
God damn, did they set me off. Also folks, this isn't aimed at any of you here.
