We don’t know about you, but there’s truly something about cooking memes that just hits differently no matter where in the world or what kind of person you are. After all, most of the experiences are universal and that is very true when it comes to cooking. I mean, have you ever tried to make a meal at 3 AM because you were starving and didn’t want to wake up your family members? Or are you in the group of people that likes to delay cooking food until you are nauseous and at the point of passing out, so that when you do manage to cook something quickly, you can all but take two bites of it? Yeah, we are pretty sure we aren’t the only ones here like that.
It’s time to compile all of our kitchen triumphs and disasters so we can wrap them up in a tortilla of humor, and serve them with a side of that juicy relatable sauce in meme format. Scroll down below, and who knows, maybe you won’t feel so bad about your cooking skills after reading this post.
Also, make sure to keep an eye out for an interesting interview with Dr. Eleanor Barnett who is a food historian!

A couple of weeks ago I decided I want some ramen. I put my seasoning in after I bowl my noodles. I carried my bowl and seasoning pack to the room with me. Sat it down and then said I want some ritz veg crackers. After I got my crackers I couldn't find my seasoning pack. Instead of letting noodle gets cold I just opened another pack of ramen and took the pack from that. I did eventually find the pack a few days later.....

My friend was a single dad raising three girls. One day I get a call from the oldest (early teens) saying there was no food and they were hungry - he was working. So I go over there and the cupboards, pantry, and fridge are FULL but they don't cook... so I made them spaghetti with homemade meatballs and marinara. We have always been an ingredient house, so I am used to just making whatever I feel like: Italian, French, Cantonese, Thai, Mexican... we have stuff for almost anything.

Catching up with the theme of the day, Bored Panda decided it was high time we had another chat with Dr. Eleanor Barnett. Not a stranger to our readers, Dr. Barnett is known for diving deep into the history of food and early modern religion. She's got a PhD from the University of Cambridge and to top it off she's a big fan of connecting with the past by exploring the everyday food habits of ordinary people, which is why she finds her field so fascinating.
When asked about one of the most misunderstood or overlooked aspects of food history, Dr. Barnett said, "That, even though it's often great fun researching food history and historical recipes, it's not necessarily a 'light' or superficial subject. Food - what we eat, how we eat it, and with whom - is deeply connected to our sense of national, religious, socio-economic, and gender identities. That means studying the history of food is a really rich and insightful way of accessing the past!"

On food-related traditions or practices that have remained surprisingly consistent over time, Dr. Barnett shared, "Food traditions are fascinating because we tend to assume they go back endlessly even if they are actually quite modern. Take, for example, having turkey at Christmas. Europeans only encountered the turkey in the 16th century as it is native to North America, and it wasn’t until the 20th century that it became associated with Christmas. Before this turkey was found really only on the wealthiest tables and beef or goose was a far more common festive treat. So, what’s magical about food traditions is how they make us feel - the connection they make us feel with the past or our ancestors - even if that vision of our history is actually somewhat fabricated!"

The work was revolutionary in several ways and would go on to shape middle-class identity in the Victorian era and beyond. Many people still have a version of Mrs. Beeton’s recipe book in the back of a cupboard which has been passed down through generations!"

Much simpler: you can't patent cooking instructions and they're also not Copyright protected. But if they are part of a larger body of material that does fall under copyright, you can copyright it as part of the larger text, so if anyone ever made a famous cookbook earning millions by selling it, theoretically you could sue them for a share then.

In order to provide you with the recipe for the perfect tomato sauce, you gotta know that, when I was a kid, my Dad had a Lancia Delta, the 1.6l turbo - sadly not an Integrale - and, when I was 13, a year before I finally got to the crucial trick about the sauce, I stole it and drove around the block one time. Turbo engines, I hadn't used myself, and got pretty surprised about the 'nother round of full throttle after I already had given that order into the machinery compartment and already had received the answer ... although, shoulda got that it was a lame answer, and that that time's turbos don't love loadsteps at below 2000 RPM. Anyway, the crucial trick is to put a few dried tomatos in a blender to provide a liquid, intense ingredient that won't eff around with the taste of the fresh tomatos used, but adds intensity that allows for a huge load of optional ingredients without making tomato number two. The Lancia, however, was dark read and had a nice Alcantara interior, dark grey.

Lastly, when discussing a particularly intriguing story or fact from her research that deeply moved or surprised her, Dr. Barnett said, "It was fascinating spending time in the archives reading trial records from the Venetian Inquisition, which sought out heretics who did not conform to the Catholic Church's beliefs and practices in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. I was moved to read the stories of ordinary people who broke down the boundaries and identities imposed by the authorities. I read of Jewish converts to Christianity, for example, who continued to connect to their old religion through feasts and kitchen rituals."

Basic Universal Recipe: Put in what you like, omit what you don't like.
Must Be Bored Again 2 years ago
I had a binder so full of recipes, mostly hand written, handed down from family members, friends, random recipes cut off the side of some box, so many amazing recipes. Then the wildfires came and took everything I owned. I was in the process of making copies of all the recipes into books to give to my four children who have always loved to cook. Huge part of my heart that I cannot pass down to them now.

Boston has TONS of pizza similar to New York's. It's everywhere. The funny thing is any New York or Boston pizzeria will usually offer two types of pizza, Roman and Sicilian. Roman is the famililar thin-crusted, round pizza; and "Sicilian" (sometimes sold as "Grandma's" by actual Sicilians) has a thick, focaccia-like crust. [From what I gather, pizza in Sicily may actually be one of many styles of pizza, some similar to what New Yorkers call "Sicilian," and others not so similar at all.]

Yeah, that's basically calling for a minimum amount of two, with a minimum being ... well, that - the minimum you might get away with if this was a school assignment. But it's garlic, garlic is the closest to a religion of all things I have in life.

DC 2 years ago
That's exactly what my calculation advises you to add as 2 cloves, too! The formula is fairly easy, it is ... a = number of cloves in the recipe; b = number of people eating, c = number of servings, d = actual number you are to use ... d=(3*a + 2*b + c)*0+e ... I forgot to tell what's e? Yeah, e = number of cloves you have on hand. See? I said it's easy!

You're getting closer to the required 2 tablespoons of garlic. Just double that and let's see how it tastes.

Bread flour is higher in gluten / protein, and makes the texture of breads so much better. Pastry flour is the opposite - lower gluten than all-purpose flour and I think it's ground fiber, too. Best for stuff like pie crusts. I haven't used pastry flour before tho. You can substitute if they call for Bread or pastry for using all purpose

Chicken piccata is not the same as chicken nuggets. You coat the chicken with flour and Parmesan cheese and usually serve it with a rich tomato sauce.

We gave our free air fryer to a friend after we got ourselves a bigger one fit for the household size.

I'm not really getting this ... ok, so now my gallbladder has been removed, I have endured 11 years of low fat tolerance ... I'd literally skip a meal rather than eat some soaking-fried whatever unprepared, but as I know how to set up my inners to tolerate more for a day ... pre-eating a lot of fibres for two days ... and the taste of any fried stuff heavily relies on them being not only partially burned, but burned in fat, and full of fat, and generally fat ... and I also have tried fries from an air fryer ... and, while they didn't taste exactly bad, they neither gooded at tasting friedly, so ... well ... what about I don't want one?
