And the answer is…
“Ramen. Trivia question, what’s the right utensil with which to eat ramen noodles? I’m talking about the cheap stuff you make at home, not something fancy you’d get in a restaurant. You’d think a spoon, right? Because it’s like soup? But it’s actually a fork. You need a fork to twirl up the long noodles, and you don’t need to get any liquid on it since you can just drink that right out of the cup.”
Guilty as charged.
“Pizza. For gods sake people…don’t hold it up in the air like a clumsy baboon and try to flop it down into your mouth. Fold=rigid cantilever= straight line into your mouth.”
Strange but tempting:
“Twix candy bars. It has 3 basic layers – milk chocolate, caramel, and cookie. The best part is the cookie. When the consumer gets to the cookie, the cookie should be separate from the rest, so as to really taste the cookie. Therefore, use your teeth to scrape the chocolate and caramel layers away from the cookie. Then eat the cookie alone. Just try it. And thank me.”
Make it into a sandwich.
“Cupcakes. Here’s the elegant way to do it.”
Don’t waste a cow!
“Steak. Most backyard grillers pull the steak off the grill, and immediately cut it open to see if it’s cooked appropriately. Then put it back on the grill to finish cooking if needed. Bad move either way. Cutting the meat before the temperature stabilizes just lets the juices run out, resulting in a dry steak. Learn to test for medium rare (any more than that is a waste of cow) by feel. Then pull the steak off and let it rest for 5 minutes. As the temperature stabilizes the juices will stay in the muscle and you will have a nice juicy steak.”
