I forgot all about that monstrosity
Hope you are OK.
Absolutely. Smashing tinned fish like anchovies or sardines into the mix when you're sautéing onions and fresh minced garlic is an umami multiplier I am fairly obsessed with. It's magic for homemade pasta sauce.
It's generally hard to make me feel "sick" at the thought of eating anything. I like a good food adventure. But Jack's seafood chili, no joke, is the only thing that's literally made me gag to think about eating. I'm not exaggerating, and I mean it with reference to all the other things he's made that were hideous too: That seafood chili is the most disgusting thing I have ever seen. Maybe that means I've led a sheltered life. Fine. But that video made my stomach turn, and I can't watch it again!
The 'Meat Chili' he made the week after was even worse. Its a bit of a shame these two came after the brief CWJ resurgence via reactions videos. They're on a whole nother level of revolting than party cheese salad.
Feeding this to POWs would be a war crime.
That's one of my secret weapons (ok well it isn't that secret). Ground anchovies make a great addition to a tomato sauce, whether for pizza or pasta. That or just anchovy paste. Or colatura di alici. Or even just a generic Thai fish sauce.
Well yeah. Jack took the first Chatgpt recipe he demanded it make, didn't check it at all, and added everything, even when the AI states it's an alternative, or if it's optional. I also think he modified it by adding more stuff and changing some of it because I suspect he was just reusing one of the previous AI chili recipes he failed to make, mainly in response to this thread shitting on how terrible all of them were and mocking what spices he could've added that the AI forgot to add.
Ah yes, his stupid quiche bullshit. Like an alchemist with mercury poisoning seething that the lead refuses to transmute, Jack continues to try and blend eggs, cheese, and meat and expects it to taste like the bread he claims he thinks has no flavor and hates that it never does taste like bread.
Actually Scalfanis in general help keep costs down. He got incredibly lucky to survive that many strokes. For every one of these cases there would be 3 dead morbidly obese people who wouldn't go on to get old and require intensive end of life care and draw medicaid/social security. Smoking also shifted to a net cost reducer since it generally kills people with cheaper incurable diseases rather than letting them get old enough to need memorycare. Some make it through but that's survivorship bias.Him bitching about his hospital bill being $10 (or $100?) never fails to piss me off. I went the ER a few weeks ago and landed a nice pre-insurance bill of $1400+. Granted, they did an EKG and a blood sugar test, but apart from that it was business as usual, no lip gloss or hand relief. I was on the phone for nearly two hours accumulated trying to get them to bill the right insurance. Even now it's in limbo.
Fuck you Jack. You're the reason healthcare costs so much in this country. Have a fucking stroke and die. Not in minecraft.
Jr., to Atreyu:
Anchovy paste is amazing. I've got a tube of it in the fridge and it's literally a must when making most pastas. You can't taste the fish but it bumps up the flavor.
That's the whole thing with Fatty. A lot of his recipes could, with some tweaking, be turned into something good. But he's all about getting his food fast that he just winds up making the most disgusting looking slop out there.
What I usually do with the fish sauces/pastes is substitute a volume equal to the amount of salt I cut out of the recipe. This way you end up with slightly less salt but you also don't need as much salt anyway.
That or it's been under a heat lamp for hours, but Fatty doesn't care so long as MUSH MEAT MEAT GUD AYY PLUSH.
Anchovy paste and msg in my red saws
