Iāve noticed the opposite, people post reviews like:
I changed this, modified this quantity, replaced that, used another cooking duration, it was great, 5 stars.
Really helpfulā¦ /s
If carrots have too much sugar for you, sweety, donāt bake a fucking cake.
Do people just substitute things that look similar?
I didnāt like egg whites, so I used soap instead. Ew, it tastes like soap!
chef_the_kiss ā āāāā
I replaced the vanilla extract with balsamic vinegar and it tasted like a disgusting overcooked salad! Why would you let me do that?
somebody wants a mud pie!
Next time maybe mention I shouldnāt use soap in the recipe?
One of the few things I miss on Reddit is a sub called āIdidnthaveeggsā or something like that. Basically a whole sub of the bonkers substitutions people have done. It was always a good read.
1/5 stars
I didnāt have sugar, butter, vanilla, or baking powder, and I substituted the milk with cheddar cheese. Also, I donāt have an oven, so I just used a frying pan on the stove top. It turned into an omelet! Would not recommend this cake recipe.
7/11 with rice
It might sound totally insane but this is barely an exaggeration with some of the ones you see submitted there (and I mean ones that arenāt jokes).
They will absolutely make tons of substitutions and still rate the recipe based on it. Itās infuriating and should be illegal.
This is outrageous. Where are the armed men who come in to take the substituters away? Where are they? This kind of behavior is never tolerated in Boraqua. You cook like that, they put you in jail. Right away. No trial, no nothing. Bakers? We have a special jail for bakers. Youāre leaving out ingredients? Right to jail. Youāre editing Michelin Star recipes? Right to jail. Right away. Youāre whisking too fast? Jail. Slow? Jail. Youāre adding too much butter for cakes, pastries, you right to jail. You undercook flan, believe it or not, jail. You overcook quiche, also jail. Undercook, overcook. You make an appointment with the food delivery and you donāt show up? Believe it or not, jail, right away. We have the best cooks in the world, because of jail.
Cooking flan at all should be jail so I believe it.
I mean, it still requires heat to caramelize the sugar before mixing ingredients. Iād say that itās cooking by loose definition, or are you arguing that flan should not be made. No judgment either way. Iām just curious.
Jail is too lenient! Death penalty!
[Door to walk-in oven slams shut]
āHello, Kaeyghleigh, Iād like to play a game. Next to you are two buttons. One will set the oven to 80F for 350 minutes, the other 350F for 80 minutes. To survive, youāll need to follow instructions carefu-- [whooshing noise as the gas flames flare up in the oven]. Okay, that was fast.ā
I tried to make fried eggs but I didnāt have eggs so I replaced them with ice cream.
0/10 hot ice cream soup isnāt fried eggs!!
But the ice cream obviously had no yolk. So I used yellow mustard.
Honestly one of my favorite subs ever. Would be nice if we had that one here
Be the change you want to see in this world.
How did I not know about that sub! I love hearing about those idiots
How did i not know about that sub? I would love hearing those idiots
Iāve not seen the movie, but this is shades of that film about the woman who reinvented a lot of cattle technology, and thereās a scene where theyāre trying out her new design for something and they decide the materials and shape are wrong and change them, and then three cattle die, and theyāre laughing at her saying her thing doesnāt work, and she looks at what they did to it and calls them out for being idiots
Temple Grandin?
thats the one
Carrots having way too much sugar is wild to me. Like what do you eat except kale?
I mean, carrots do have a lot of sugar as vegetables go, but itās like 5% sugar by weight. If youāre cutting out stuff with that low of a ratio, youāre probably taking a low sugar diet a bit far.
I wouldnāt eat a raw carrot either unless Iām looking for a sugar shock but this is like one ingredient of a cake, a fucking CAKE!! What else did you supplement?
I wouldnāt eat a raw carrot either unless Iām looking for a sugar shock
Are you literally out of your mind? Sugar shock from A CARROT??
Are you sure youāre not confusing āa raw carrotā with āa big bag of candyā? Itās a common mistake in some cultures, I bet š¤·
Iām not an expert on that but Iām pretty sure I was joking
Upon further consideration as well as evaluation of your supplementary information, I have concluded that you were in fact joking.
I have furthermore decided that your joke was funny and that Iām a bit of a doofus for going all in on my ātheyāre super serialā hypothesis.
Have a lovely day š
serial like serial killer or dr. house?
Serial like Al Gore about manbearpig.
Traditionally carrots were used as the main sweetener in carrot cake. Something developed during lean times when honey, fruits and sugar werenāt available. So assuming this person was looking for a ālow sugar cakeā recipe, they may have found a carrot cake recipe that only used carrots for sweetening.
ā¦ and then they removed the carrots to reduce the sugar content further. So yah itās going to be an awful cake if there is zero sweetness in it. Like, just make a savory baked good at that point.
Carrots as sweetner is sadā¦
More kale
Theyāre making a cake, you donāt want sugar in cake!
Red kale is actually kinda sweet
Carrots have way too much sugar?? To go in a cake?? Wut
Whatās wrong honey? You havenāt finished your kale cake.
Kace
Kake, by KDE
Someone probably tried to install Linux on a cake
Kacke - which is coincidentally a German word that describes the look and taste of said cake very well.
Cachu (pron same as above), a welsh word that is even more appropriate
Thatās insane, pronunciation and meaning are indeed very similar.
In my grandparentsā region (south-east of France), thereās a traditional pie made with leafy greens: tourte de blettes, that is to say āchard pieā.
My grandmother calls it tourte dāherbes (āherb pieā), itās very good, thereās definitely sugar in it!
Iām speechless. So they change the recipe and then they blame the recipe? WTFā¦
He changed it? How did he change it?
He changed it as it was going out the door šš
what?!?
Iāve replaced the celery in the raw celery recipe with pizza. Why am I not losing weight?
It says 10 calories per serving! What gives!?
Iām doing keto, but with muffins.
In the 60s of last century (IIRC, was before my time) there was a product called āMillicalā, a powder to be mixed with water that provided (according to knowledge back then) every nourishment for the day with a total of 1000kcal (hence the name) per āday packā. Basically a diet powder. Best comment was āIt tastes boring, so instead of water, I mix it with cream.ā
I asked you for directions to Santa Monica but I decided to drive to the Mojave instead and there was NO BEACH AND NO OCEAN.
2/5 stars, wouldnāt recommend Santa Monica
Thereās a sub for this on the other site, called āDidnātHaveEggsā. Itās funny as.
Damn I mustāve missed out on that one on other site
funny as what
as
They forgot the *.
Itās funny as <wildcard>, meaning funny as anything!
Funny as fuck. The last word is implied.
I mustāve done the fucking wrong if itās supposed to be funny.
Different people find different things funny?
They were making a joke.
Ah. Went over my head.
I know. All good.
āasā is short for āas shitā itās like āafā but instead itās āasā
Either way weāre having a good time.
Where Iām from we say āfunny asā missing off the āfuckā.
Iāve heard Kiwis say āsweet asā to mean something similar to āitās coolā-- canāt remember if there were other adjectives instead of sweet but I think so.
I know Brits that say that too, sometimes including the F word, sometimes not.
Thank you. It was one of my favorite subs but I couldnāt remember the name.
I had a friend who wanted to make my No Bake cookies for her husband so I showed her the recipe and she said she had everything.
I show up to a game night and sheās making them but substituted the butter for the ācanāt believe itās not butterā stuff. I told her itās not the same thing and she didnāt believe me.
Instead of cookies she served us bowls of congealed cookies.
She tried blaming me but my friend knew better and called her out for not following the recipe.
The margarine is probably a combination of oil and shortening, so I feel like youād be able to make the sub in a pinch? Youād need to melt it down first because the spreadable stuff in the container has air whipped into it.
I dunno, I havenāt tested it.
Edit: I didnāt see they were No Bake cookies. Yeah, that would make a much bigger difference.
Itās like that Marie Callender Pie incident lol
I didnāt know this meme until now, and this image is my favourite. Canāt stop laughing.
āI grilled this pasta for hours and hours, but it wouldnāt go soft!ā (Terry Pratchett, āOperaā)
So in cooking, I tend to do this sort of thing all the time, but not in a dumb way - for example, when I roast a chicken, if I want a more Asian spin on it, Iād sub out my usual herbs de Provence + fresh parsley/sage/rosemary/thyme for chili crisp, ginger, sambal olek, minced Thai basil, and a bit of cilantro, or something like that.
But in baking, thereās actual chemistry involved with almost everything, so you do not want to fuck with that unless you actually know what youāre doingā¦
Also Iām so shy to ask the author from explanation when I change a little thing. I know Iām not an expert so maybe for this recipe preheating my oven was actually very importantā¦
But at the same time thereās a difference between making an informed/educated guess on a valid swap vs what these people are doing, which is one short step from āI didnāt have cinnamon sticks so I got some sticks from the tree outside my houseā
when I roast a chicken, if I want a more Asian spin on it, Iād sub out my usual herbs de Provence + fresh parsley/sage/rosemary/thyme for chili crisp, ginger, sambal olek, minced Thai basil, and a bit of cilantro, or something like that.
Where pepper?
Anyway; cooking is art, baking is science.
any site worth their salt would remove these reviews as they arenāt based off the product posted since they subbed items
They substituted the salt with nutritional yeast.
0/10, tasted like floury paste.
āI tried playing my DOOM: The Dark Ages copy for Xbox but I donāt own an Xbox so I put the disk in my Nintendo 64. The game didnāt even launch wtf this game sucksā
You forgot the bit where they cut the disk so it would fit in the slot, and are also upset that the store wonāt return it anymore.
