Can nearly always tell how well a person can cook based on the Twitter captions of their food pics. Person who can cook: [Meal name/link, minimal description] Person who absolutely can’t: “Errrr, form a queue to WIFE ME/[Needlessly long description, insisting it is ‘authentic’”]

God, this is horribly bang on. I think there is a kind of Dunning Kruger analogue with food in a way, to do with an inverse correlation reared to experience vs self awareness.

Yes! Precisely that. It’s like the
@dril uncle’s ear medication tweet, it’s bizarre, especially the “queue up boys” type tweets, which are posted over what is a really easy dish, but they clearly think they’ve pulled it off brilliantly. Fascinated.1 vastaus 0 uudelleentwiittausta 2 tykkäystä -

I sort of get it. When you’re faced with something new and unfamiliar, you can see it as a single mountain to climb, and so you make something basically edible having rarely done so before, and then go “cooking: done” or whatever.

“I AM GOURMET.” Really want to know what these men are like IRL, esp the raw-chicken-garlic-bread blogger, no one I know thinks like this. And why insist a dish is “authentic” when 1) it isn’t, it’s like a Jamie Oliver version 2) who cares? Yr family recipe is just as interesting

In the wrong hands, I think ‘authenticity’ is purely a boast. Slight tangent, but I remember being in a cab in Bangkok and casually asking the driver where he thought we could get a great green curry and him just going ‘Pah! Chinese food!’

Like, ‘authenticity’ is a really dangerous word in the wrong hands, and I think that’s why the people with the right hands use it so carefully and sparingly. It either means something massively specific and detailed, or basically nothing.

Yes yes yes! If you’re telling me the dish you have made is ‘authentic’ - why? And 9/10 it’s a boast, and inaccurate. It’s much more interesting to read why someone does something completely unusual than have someone “tell me” their Italian food is “authentic.”
