SALT you fucking idiots! it’s so crazy that everybody is mad about the suggestion that it needs spices when they left out fucking SALT. have you had slices of grocery store tomato without salt??? have you had bocconcini or fresh mozzarella or similar kind of cheese without salt??? like i PUT pepper and i PUT olive oil on it, what more do these people want?
maybe dont completely fuck up the dish by leaving out SALT and you won’t have people being like “this sucks, why doesn’t it taste like anything” like sure adding cumin isn’t a good solution but at least they recognize that there’s no flavour.
instead its used as an opportunity to be defensive about being white on reddit
FUCK you
FUCK these people
“Everyone keeps complaining that this salad I made with skim milk mozzarella and hothoused beefsteak tomatoes that have been functionally bred into styrofoam for ease of transport and covered in a watery-ass excuse for balsamic vinegar doesn’t taste like anything.”
Buddy you picked something that has three ingredients in it, I wonder if the quality of those three ingredients might make or break the recipe.
don’t forget the store brand “olive” oil
by the way, a “traditional” caprese salad is tomato, basil, bocconcini, olive oil, and SALT. sure balsalmic vinegar tastes good with that stuff, it’s common to add it, but it’s like adding ketchup to unsalted french fries except worse. everyone like “UH IT’S SUPPOSED TO BE “SIMPLE” AND “DELICATE”” when they left out one of the five ingredients. AAAAA
A caprese salad is like the laziest possible thing you could bring to a potluck and still plausibly claim to have “cooked.” You don’t get to complain how people react to it
Salt, fats, and sugar are the pathways which flavor travels
Salt, fat, acid, heat!

That show still hold up? I thought about giving it a shot again. Haven’t seen it since I was a kid
Me neither.
Holds up better than most

caprese salad is trash 99% of the time anyways
flavorless ass cheese, usually flavorless ass tomatoes, and the basil can’t make up for it
You really can only pull it off with heirloom tomatoes. Like some dank ass messy Zebra’s.
Beefsteak tomatoes though yim yum
I’ll go downvote em for ya
Edit: I’m back. Jesus Christ redditors are insufferable. I don’t know why, but I hate, hate, HATE when people call some normal food “fuckin delicious”. I’m not a prude, and don’t hate the swear, but there’s just something soooo
about the juxtaposition of the top swear word and a three syllable word for good. Somehow, “fucking yummy” or “fucking good” don’t trigger meWhat if they mix it up? Does “de-fucking-licious” work better or just make you implode with rage?
I think it’s my inability to realize that the people on the other side of the computer aren’t just the most annoying composite my brain can come up with.
salt too spicy
