      Half of my job in an Italian restaurant is viciously mocking the Italians.

          The owner apparently was pissed one of the cooks made chili for the soup special cause it's 'not italian' and like...our stuff is Italian American at best and our most popular pizzas are very much fusion, out top seller is tomato sauce, half mozzarella half smoked cheddar, bacon, sausage and caramelized onions garnished with fried rosemary and maple. So we've been saying all the very not Italian ingredient names as a made up Italian translation. Instead of maple, mapoli for example. Pineapples for the Hawaiian pizza are called appleinis.

            A very non traditional idea i had was like I made this chipotle/red bell pepper/pimento puree with basil and cilantro and seasoned it in an attempt to approximate piri piri sauce (the chipotle was too smoky but otherwise it was very good), and that was for some chicken that I made at work as like a last minute condiment to go out on the side. The chicken was marinated in a lot of chili powders and lemon juice. It was supposed to be piri piri chicken but like idk if you can call it that without piri piri peppers

            Anyway, it was all really good, and I wanted to take the pepper puree and use it as a pizza sauce, top it with the pizza cheese blend we have, chopped chicken, red onion and idk mushrooms or something else, maybe some parmesan, and finish it with a drizzle of the pepper puree at the end

            Idk i think it'd be really good but with all the prep and cleaning i had to do I never got around to trying it out with the leftovers I had

              That sounds interesting. I did a vodka sauce but instead of tomato roasted red pepper recently and holy fucking hell did that go over well. I'm Beethoven out hear with this stuff cause I can't taste my own food.

                the sauce I made tasted very much like this roasted red pepper coulis my sous chef made a while back, except smoky because of the chipotle, and not overpowered with what I think was him putting in wayy too much sumac. That might be something you could look into

                I think the real sauce is more spicy because of the piri piri peppers and less smoky, it's just got whatever smoke from the bit of chili powder/paprika put in, but idk

                it'd probably go good with vegan meat like the seitan chicken strips we get, or like as a way to marinate tofu or vegetables for pizza

                I'm Beethoven out hear with this stuff cause I can't taste my own food.

                yeah that's me with seafood, I don't like any seafood so every time i get good feedback on a shrimp/cod/salmon dish I am like "yes thank you cooking jesus for letting me not fuck this up"

                Sometimes I like the smell of the shrimp roasting but idk there's just something so off about seafood, can't like it

            Man i have 0 respect for traditional cuisine outside of as a source of ideas. I want to try new things and be creative y'know

            I was just reading today about this confluence of american racism and immigration laws resulting in a good number of Punjabi-Mexican marriages in the early 1900s and how it led to a unique fusion of cultures and i'm like fuck yeah fuck me up with some Punjabi-Mexican food, I bet that shit's unique af

            But certain people would be all "noooo you can't put curried chicken on a taco 😰😰😰😰" (i don't think curried chicken tacos are a thing, I just remember it saying a punjabi Mexican american restaurant had curried chicken and roti on the menu)

              It is literally reactionary in the political sense. It's retvrn mindset applied to food and it's bad. Now, you do also need to learn the rules before breaking them but that's like you gotta be good at curried chicken and tacos before going for a curried chicken taco. I can also add, if we were going full in and genuinely making shit you'd otherwise have to go to Italy to eat, I could understand being a stickler, but being trad brained on recipes invented in the 60s is dumb as hell. Also I do think being open to experimenting with different culinary traditions vs being full on trad recipe (this mostly applies to French and Italian food. Colonized people holding onto traditional recipes is a big part of maintaining culture) does reflect on your values outside of food. Food is possibly the most political thing and it's history is historical materialism.

      Seems like no, actually.

      Despite her elimination at the hands of Khelif, Carini said she did not harbour any ill feeling towards the Algerian. "I wish her to carry on until the end and that she can be happy. I am someone who doesn't judge anyone. I am not here to give judgements," Carini said.

                I have never been hit so hard in my life. It’s up to the IOC to judge.

                This is what she said after the fight. What is there for the IOC to judge if it was a legitimate loss that she accepts? If you have another interpretation, then let's hear it, but don't say I'm making baseless accusations

                    we don't need to start throwing around accusations when there's no real basis. She has said nothing negative about her opponent, so it's pointless to speculate about what she feels deep down inside.

              you are correct, she doesn’t admit to being beaten and was blaming equipment and then nose pain, and got them to nullify the results instead of it counting as a loss, and is reveling in the attention she’s drawing

              otherwise she’d actually come out in support and say “hope she wins it all so I can say I only lost to the gold medalist”

                the international footage of her getting hit and crying is having far more impact and reach than simply protesting/refusing to fight

                        can’t seem to find video of an uncut video interview with her among all the reaction videos but did find one with her coach/corner guy
                        https://farside.link/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgZcAGXDIeY

                        Carini says that she does fight men in the ring but she’s never been hit so hard before. Her coach (who actually sounds non-bigoted and that it’s a tough matchup, they were hoping for an easier fight at this stage but had bad luck, and was surprised at the concession) says these two have trained together previously and notes that carini particularly dislikes Khelif.

                        Unlike her coach, who acknowledges the victory and overall gives respect, that Khelif deserves to be here, Carini is asked if she thinks the fight was fair and responds ‘that’s for the IOC to decide’. Big red flag and combined with saying Khelif hits harder than cis men, she seems like despite using the right pronouns and not outwardly dragging Khelif, that she’s trying to make a case for excluding at least intersex women. When asked about what people are saying online about Khelif, she just says she doesn’t want to get involved.

                        She never once acknowledges that Khelif won fairly, or denounces the mask off bigots calling Khelif a man. At best she’s a spineless sore loser willing to be used as a tool for the worst people imaginable to beat trans and intersex people with.

                        is the lack of quotes of my earlier comment intentional? none of that has anything to do with body language. people are posting the images and videos of her bawling to garner sympathy while saying she was beat up by a man.

                        are you saying it takes a body language expert to know that a crying woman evokes a stronger sympathy response that a neutral face? or did you not quote it because now you want to echo that you agree? explain yourself explicitly instead of smuglord gotcha posting

      addressing the second part, Italian lady’s coach/corner guy was respectful. said Khelif is a tough matchup but beatable, they were hoping for an easier fight at this stage but had bad luck, and was surprised Carini conceded. he also mentions that the two have trained together in the past and Carini has a particular dislike for Khelif.

          that and being racist, yes

          you are right it’s worth noting for those who don’t know that the POC is a cis woman with a genetic condition that comes with slightly higher testosterone levels

          (which is a little funny since ‘testosterone’ looks like it should be pronounced like an Italian pasta dish)

        I'm on the fence. She's said she's not interested in the controversies and sounds ok. It's cowardly maybe but I can forgive not wanting to say one thing either way because you get hated by one side or the other. She's trying to avoid receiving any hate by disinvolving herself.

        She later explained that she had decided not to fight after feeling intense pain in her nose. "For me, it's not a defeat. For me, when you climb those ropes, you're already a warrior, you're already a winner," the 25-year-old Carini said. "Regardless of everything it's okay, fine like this. I didn't lose tonight ... I only did my job as a fighter. I got in the ring and I fought. I didn't make it. I'm coming out with my head held high and with a broken heart. "I'm a mature woman. The ring is my life. I've always been very instinctive. And when I feel that something isn't right, it's not giving up. It's having the maturity to stop. It's having the maturity to say, 'OK, that's enough'."

        Despite her elimination at the hands of Khelif, Carini said she did not harbour any ill feeling towards the Algerian. "I wish her to carry on until the end and that she can be happy. I am someone who doesn't judge anyone. I am not here to give judgements," Carini said.
