also a special fuck you to whoever decided porridge is poor people food :raccoongun:
it’s good, comfy and can be made with minimal equipment :neocat_bongo_down:
@ElDeadKennedy :cat_si:
good slop is that local fry up you know and love, warms your heart and grease warms the soul and arteries, overrated slop is the one you line up for an hour for and when you try it its kinda mid, bad slop is the one that you just feel bad eating
@arcana i sincerely hope that america will cure you of your class brainworms
like unironically you’re supposed to eschew any royal titles when you naturalize that’s pretty neat
@arcana@cell i disagree, theres lots of things i enjoy watching that i would describe as slop. things that arent worth your time but you like regardless
@Alex@rat@cell Huh, I thought it referred to fast food? Why would a homecooked meal be slop? This is the kind of homecooked meal I'll have and it seems odd to refer to it as slop
Originally, yeah, it just referred to fast food. Then the slop meme grew to mean any messy or wet food as well, eg chili, curry, etc, and any food that isn't made by highly trained professionals (ie anything you make yourself). It's a very, very stupid meme.
@arcana@Alex@rat@cell Because homecooked often means “sloppily” plated or made in bulk, doesn’t mean that it’s not healthy or delicious. @hidden leaves fedi for a moment and already her famous ‘primalslop’ has been forgotten :blobpensive:
@ai@Alex@rat@hidden@cell I thought homecooked meals were the opposite of made in bulk? Sure you'll get the raw ingredients which are processed in bulk generally but the meal itself isn't
@ai@Alex@rat@hidden@cell Do people actually do that? May I am showing a great deal of naïveté here but I've never had a meal prepared like that. The meal will be prepared right before it's eaten and then any remaining portions will be fed to the local foxes and other critters. There are times when two days will be used for example certain parts of the Sunday Roast are cooked the preceding Saturday, but yeah, I've never had food that was cooked for an entire week.
@arcana@Alex@rat@ai@hidden@cellhttps://invidious.uknow.moe/watch?v=mb3k0wApWas sure they do, this video from noted homecooking foodtuber adam ragusea for instance, portions the chili for the night it's cooked as well as refrigerating, saving, and reheating it for 3 days thereafter, this isn't unusual in the slightest for many home cooks, particularly those with families or who don't have large amounts of uninterrupted time to cook except sporadically on certain days
@allison@Alex@rat@hidden@arcana@cell Interesting to me you mention families because I was going to say the opposite, that if you’re single and living alone, meal prep makes the most sense. (I find it equally easy to cook 3 meals as 1 meal, but hard to scale up beyond that, so I don’t think I could meal prep for a whole family.) Bodybuilders are religious about meal prep due to their nutrition reqs, for instance I like this soy comic https://www.threepanelsoul.com/comic/well-it-has-22-grams-of-protein
@arcana@Alex@rat@ai@hidden@allison western bias in this one, of course i'm not going to like stuff like frozen fish sticks as compared to something like a roadside satay or char kway teow smh
actually come to think about it - it's quite american in the way that it singles out chicken nuggets and fish sticks as low class - you guys still get an abundance of animal protein even in slop form which in many places in the world is considered a luxury
anyhow it's interesting how it singles out lobsters specifically as high class considering the history; wonder if it rates all the truffles as high or low class considering how everyone and everything seems to have it (well tbh the fake one) and you can get it at places like mcdonalds - real truffles have a far more subtle flavor than the slop its usually placed in where it just overpowers everything else
@ai@Alex@rat@hidden@arcana@mia@cell my parents never let me have real fish because mercury in vaccines allegedly made me autistic and the results speak for themselves
