Outside of trendy foods/white culture, french toast isn't that much of a household term for city kids.

"French" doesn't really explain shit, they have no reason to have to figure it out themselves.

here's my contribution:

The dude was like 34, I find it hard to believe a 30-something year old in Canada hasn't heard of french toast. If he was like 14 I wouldn't have thought anything of it, lol.

>>3704551
So what the fuck is french toast then?

I did something incredibly retarded 2 days ago when making burgers:
>heat up pan
>put oil in it
>literally throw the patty in the pan
>oil all over arms

I had to sleep with ice-bags covering both of my arms. Or well. I could sleep for like 5 minutes at a time before waking up in pain. now my arms are full of blisters.

it's not a big deal, just a pet peeve of mine when people try to over-fancify things by making them sound more French, especially when lambic and Duvel are dutch (well, Flemish, but you get the point)

>>3704779
Meh. Like I said, it's just a pet peeve because I hear it so often, but I'm no snob. I did want to smack this one guy once who was sitting at the bar and when I said Duvel the correct way he "corrected" me in a really pretentious overblown french accent, complete with a snobby douchebag headroll

>>3704763
If an american reads that it's still not right. It sounds like "Doefol" ...

But I guess depending on the province pronounciation might differ, some people seem to say "Doevel" while others(me) really pronounce the "u" like in "uwe".

To pronounce correctly for an american would be:
"du" as in "dubious"
"vel" as in "vulgar"

>>3704844
so like shovel. but "dew" instead of "sho"

I laughed really hard at the guy complaining about how people pronounce "Duvel". For the record, no American will ever be able to pronounce any given Dutch/Flemish/German/French/whatever product correctly. And you don't need to. There's no shame in that. But please don't get snobbish and try to teach people how to pronounce that shit "correctly", it will fail in 99% of the cases.

>>3704854
Yeah, good example

>>3704863
Yes they can(with some practive sometimes), just not everything like the "ch/g"-sound because they don't use it
I'm not saying they should though.

>>3704863
uhh dickhead, that's why I never said that I correct people, and I didn't claim it was 100% correct, it just irks me a little (read: not enough to care or say anything) when people unnecessarily francify non-french words just to make them sound fancier. Also, my french isn't great but if I concentrate I damn well can pronounce most french words almost perfectly. And I never said I was American, thanks for assuming though, you pretentious cock.

I used to work at two different pizza places. They were both good, tasty joints. Anyway, we used real milk cheese. Most chains use soy, because it's cheaper and cuz lactose. Well, when you cook cheese, it browns. This is an ALIEN FUCKING CONCEPT to many customers, who would call and complain about their pizza being overcooked. Sometimes they'd be obnoxious, "I don't meant to tell you how to do your job but..." Sometimes they'd be frustrating, demanding that their pizza be delivered without "burnt" cheese, which would have necessitated removing the pizza halfway through the oven and adding the cheese. But every time they refused to listen to reason: that cooked food browns.

>>3704986which would have necessitated removing the pizza halfway through the oven and adding the cheese.

I should add that we never fucking did this. We just skimped on their cheese and toppings and cooked it for less time so that it would brown less without leaving raw dough. Idiots.

Oh Lawd my flatmate last year was an absolute nub.

Eurofags are the ones who get uppity about how big fat american fatties cannot pronounce foreign word because they are so goddamn fat. Never understood that. I have found myself in quite a few uncomfortable situations while euros make me repetitively fail at mimmicking their particular drawl.

My response is to go out of my way to mispronounce key words to sound like assorted unsavory words, much to my personal amusement and gratification.

incredible. do you have any more stories about her?

>>3705063
There were two other pasta incidents: I told her that you can eat a piece to test how done it is. She just stuck her hand in the boiling water and picked one out. It didn't seem to hurt her though, she just wondered why we all went silent and stared at her.

The other time I told her she could check if spaghetti was done by trowing it at the wall, making sure she knew it was one piece at a time. I noticed a few days later that there were loads of tinned spaghetti hoops on the wall.

First the former (behind his back obviously), then the latter. Social anxiety is a bitch.

>>3705113
That is amazing.

>>3705120
I did do both, he ended up committing arson though so there's only so much sorry I can feel.

>>3705151
Here I thought the fire would be the result of another sitcom-style panic attack or kitchen blunder.

>>3705156
nope.avi. We're not entirely sure of the entire story, but he smashed the top off a deodorant and set fire to it in our kitchen. The window got blown out and it was all terribly exciting. He got reported as a "high risk missing person" the day after and we had a week of the police and various mental health professionals searching our flat and questioning us all. He got found on a "shoplifting spree" and told the police that he was going out with the girl who pours boiling water on her feet. He works at McDonald's now.

>>3705163
Also, this happened on my birthday.

>>3705163
Fuck me, that sounds exactly like Andy (his real name). Wouldn't enter the kitchen if there was more than one person. Saw him try to cook a pancake on the highest heat then proceed to eat the black, circular object with a miserable look on his face. Got kicked out of student halls after trying to burn the building down twice by leaving all four grills, ovens and sixteen hobs on. Twice.

Still somehow studying law though.

>>3705151
Oh come on, anon. You can't just tell us that and NOT give us the rest of the story. Why did Anthony burn down your house?

>>3705175
I also forgot to add that like your Anthony, little Andy was partial to a bit of thieving. Came back with a girl's handbag containing £200 one night, and another time with someone's pair of glasses. Two iPods and lots of food went missing from our flat: that stopped when he was booted out. Despite this he was incredibly shy, softly spoken and unthreatening in every manner.

Sounds like Andy and Anthony would get on like a house on fire!

>>3705183 See >>3705163

As far as motive goes I'm thoroughly confused. I'd had a bit of a party and he actually came out and was the happiest I'd seen him all year. He'd had like three cans so I don't think he was drunk, and even then he'd still need some kind of motive. Guess he was just a highly strung guy with loads of problems and I'll never properly understand.

>>3705175
His real name wasn't Andy, although I did live with him after he'd left his first uni. He claimed to have left the first one cos he didn't like the course, but he was studying History with a Geography minor there, and Geography with a History minor when I knew him.

Another /ck/ related story of Anthony

>Swallows

>Puts down sammich
>Open the door
>Walk out the door
>None of us know each other enough to laugh
>Now it's a funny anecdote

>>3705193
We think Anthony was a bit weird like that too. It was never anything valuable though. He'd eat our food and use our shampoos, but that's not terribly odd for uni flats. The weirder things were like him popping out our flatmate's contraceptive pills, moving sponges from the shower into people's wardrobes and drawing a tiny loveheart in the corner of my flatmate's door. It actually sounds like Andy and Anthony were extremely similar people; is Andy still studying law?

>>3705194
>"Are you eating my sammich?"
>Anthony chews
>Swallows
>"I didn't know it was yours"

Dat shit ain't right.

Went to a deli/shop near a local college once. I overheard this girl telling her friend about the miracle of gluten free beer. She made it seem like gluten was some kind of new ingredient that evil corporations added to beer to make us sick. I had to hold back laughter.

>>3705201
He is still studying law but I'm no longer in touch with him. Very surprised he wasn't booted out - must have received one hell of a letter from a psychiatrist to pull that off. I saw him a while back but avoided talking to him: raising the subject of him trying to burn us alive in our sleep was a no go and I wouldn't know what elsr to say!

He was picked on a fair bit in the flat - at first I stuck up for him but I eventually gave up as I suspected him of thieving and a deliberate arson attempt. I don't suppose it helped that he started university at 17 (relatively normal in Scotland) and was very immature even for that age. He too did odd, disruptive little acts like moving things and acting infatuated and needy with certain flatmates despite not being gay. Given the similarities all this probably is symptomatic of some mental illness: which one, I don't know.

>>3705219
I suspected something like dissociative identity disorder: the reason I called him Anthony was because he once signed a letter to us "Anthony" (which obviously isn't his real name). Obviously this story's been told to plenty of people and all the psychology freshers thought they could diagnose him instantly, hardly any of them actually agreed :P.

We were quite annoyed that the uni didn't tell us he was unhinged. We were all nice and sensitive but if we were big jocky rugby kids then things might have ended significantly worse, considering we think he came into our rooms while we slept.

Slowpoke, I know, but this guy is wrong (ever so slightly) on one thing. I have always known both Lambic and Duvel to be from Belgium, and I did a little internet searching and was proven correct. Much of the confusion comes from the fact that Belgium has both flemish (dutch, exactly like he said) and french native speakers in it, with slightly more flemish than french. Many people say Duvel and Lambic with a french air because they believe all Belgians are french, for one reason or another. It is kind of funny to hear someone try to pronounce Hoegaarden in a french accent once they learn it's from Belgium.

He is, however, 100% accurate in the pronouncing Duvel. For Duvel, it is Doovel. For a link, http://www.forvo.com/word/duvel/.

Lambic is pronounced Lombeek, or lambick, depending on who you talk to. Beer snobs will generally say lombeek, but when I lived in Germany and went to Belgium they said Lambick. Dutch/Belgian people are famous for not really giving a shit. I have no idea, pick one.

I don't give a shit how you pronounce it, but you might.

>>3705439

even though im not a cockney arsehole

this is how its pronounced.

Adding salt to water is useless for making it boil at a higher temperature, only pressurizing it works.

the formula for boiling point elevation of water is
Change in BP = molality of the solution (moles of solute dissolved in kg of solvant) * 0.512 degrees celsius

So to raise the temperature of 4L of water by just 1 degree C you'd have to add roughly 450 grams of salt

Its nothing. The darker varieties are better for you but acting like eating a salad that markets it with lettuce as something healthy is retarded. Lettuce is most mostly water with low amount of vitamin content even more so in types like iceberg which are the most common in "lettuce" salads. It's filler and gets the notion of being healthy from people believing low to no calories means healthy somehow.

>>3706106
On charcoal they slightly are but you are correct grilling is not the same as BBQ but its not a big enough deal to care about. It just happen mostly because of companies selling BBQ sauce for when you grill out so people started associating grilling and BBQ as the same thing since the product they put on their grilled products was called BBQ sauce.

seriously, even our friend whose house we were staying in overseas was eating some meals with a fork and spoon. my friend was just being completely ignorant and somewhat racist to assume that all asian cultures eat every meal with chop sticks

>>3706139
I was under the impression that some areas eat rice with chop sticks and some use spoons, and that it depends on tradition and rice variety.

That was his point. His friends thought all Asians eat rice with chopstick.

>>3706139
>How dare someone not know things about other cultures in a similar region.
Calling it racist is pretty much just as much ignorance on your part as is his ignorance about proper eating utensils for the moment.

Also Malaysians use chopsticks but its generally for noodles not rice. Also most places in Malaysia will have a thing in the middle with both spoons and chopsticks.

Both of you are wrong but calling him racist because of his lack of knowledge about something most of the people in the world outside of Asia could not tell you as well is just dumb.

>>3706139
My family's asian and they eat their rice with chopsticks. I dont know how the fuck they do it though, I just use a spoon.

File: 1341057005084.jpg-(320 KB, 1280x1024, delicious looking coffee i fou(...).jpg)

Hi /ck/, I was drinking some coffee this morning and I started wondering about how people decide what a good coffee is; specifically, how do they judge and give awards to certain batches? I understand how it works with, say, beer, but beer is basically identical as long as it's in the same batch. Do the people who make the coffee somehow replicate an almost identical cup for each judge? If so, how?

Also, when they rate the coffee, are the judges putting milk and sugar and such into the coffee? Do they drink it black? Do they just chew the grounds? I'm genuinely interested, and I figured you guys would know best.

>>3706285
that doesn't really sound that strange. I didn't know what a cantaloupe was till i was around 20.
it's not a very common fruit around here.

>>3706412

Yes? And what about those shrimp that come separate? Do you eat them as a whole, too, or do you break off the tail or something. I don't know.

>>3706421
I don't really judge either, but they should work the same either way. You just drink enough that you get used to the general flavor (and yes, you drink it black, espresso usually), and once you do that you can notice a whole variety of other more subtle flavors.

Again, I'm no connoisseur, but even I can tell if a coffee is fresh or not, and that some have richer flavors than another.

that's quite possibly even worse than pronouncing it 'doo*-velle' , you moron

'doovelle' is how french belgians and french people in general would pronounce duvel , so in a way it's correct.

It would be difficult to find corresponding sounds in english to pronounce duvel like the flemish do

closest would be ... the french way of saying 'du' (as in duc, duvet) and prolonging the vowel and then vel with a schwa e (as in taken)

Yes, it is a misnomer. That much is true. But there's obviously no such thing as a fucking white grape. A grown woman should be able to understand that if three types of grapes are clearly labeled red, black and white, then the color that more closely resembles white (HINT, it's fucking green) should be the white grape.

poorly, to say the least. I spent more time there than I wanted to. I was prescribed a LOT of painkillers, about 300x 7.5mg percocet. It could have been worse, we lost our house, the insurance somehow covered it. My arms are fine today except the marks.

what the fuck, what was she doing? it wouldnt even have been warm. every once in a while she made some kind of fish stew and it was really pungent but seemed like it would taste fucking awesome...

she'll probably went back to korea with stories about how australians drink like fucking retards, do drugs and are loud, dumb and promiscuous. so i guess she had the last laugh.

That might be how they eat it over there. I lived with a Vietnamese girl for a while who'd make blood soup, or burn sugar into a saucepan, pour a load of lard in, then just eat that.

Looking down on someone, no matter their age for a lack of knowledge in what French toast, isn't very nice.

I nearly beat that fucker (was only helping out voluntary anyhow).
To make me even happier some older guy came to me later on and explained to me over half an hour how I have to draw to beer, because he did that like 10 times before and thought he was greatest fucking beer drawer ever.

Late, flemish guy here, never heard anyone pronounce it other than with an u like in uber, and the vel is pronounced like fell. düvel? I'm bad at sounds. Don't know how the walloons pronounce it, but the word is dutch in origin (from duivel=devil).

We indeed don't give a shit, but we'll laugh at funny accents like any person. Also, duvel isn't even the best belgian beer (by far), yet it's one of the only ones I ever see mentioned here :(
