    God damn American recipes are insane.

    How many onions in 1/2 cup?

    Who fills a cup with cheese? It comes sold in weight, you can guess (or measure!) how much x weight is based upon how much weight you have, without having to dirty additional utensils.

      1 cup is about 250ml.

      Visualize 250ml of volume.

      Imagine that volume contains diced onion.

      Dice a small onion beacuse that is what you have.

    Maybe I missed the joke, but street corn is so delicious it’s unreal.

    Try some if you’re in Texas. It’s a staple here.

    Is the joke that its AI slop b/c the recipe is so wonky?

      I think the joke is about its ingredients. Lemmy went through a bean phase, and it seems to be in a corn phase right now. Not sure if theres more layers to this as im not overly active

      My wife makes street corn at home, but sometimes she gets lazy and just tosses chili powder on it instead of doing the whole spice blend.

      She also doesn’t read very carefully.

      That’s how I learned that corn on the cob with cinnamon is actually fantastic.

        I can’t think of a better reason to not like something than a genetic quirk, but apparently others disagree. That’s okay, I can accept that the majority is wrong.

          I was just pissing about and downvoted you with the understanding that you were sufficiently decent to survive a downvote without getting upset. I don’t see a reason, however, to performatively downvote that second comment and think whoever did that was unfair, so I’m giving you an upvote.

          I have never sat for an autism diagnosis, I have no idea why that would be relevant

            😅 All good. About 10% of people think cilantro tastes weird, and describe it differently from those who like it, often saying it tastes like soap. I’m in that category, and it’s probably genetic.

            I was a little surprised by the down votes, and honestly don’t care if other people like it (don’t really care about the downvotes, either). I’m more concerned about the people who say it tastes like soap and still want to eat it. And I miss the fuck cilantro subreddit.
