I’ve 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 helpful… /s
i just noticed it was caelen
I’ve not seen the movie, but this is shades of that film about the woman who reinvented a lot of cattle technology, and there’s a scene where they’re 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 they’re laughing at her saying her thing doesn’t work, and she looks at what they did to it and calls them out for being idiots
Temple Grandin?
thats the one
Do people just substitute things that look similar?
I didn’t like egg whites, so I used soap instead. Ew, it tastes like soap!
chef_the_kiss ★☆☆☆☆
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 shouldn’t use soap in the recipe?
I’m speechless. So they change the recipe and then they blame the recipe? WTF…
He changed it? How did he change it?
He changed it as it was going out the door 🐀🐀
what?!?
If carrots have too much sugar for you, sweety, don’t bake a fucking cake.
American behaviour
pretty much. And suburban Melbourne mother shit too.
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 she’s making them but substituted the butter for the ‘can’t believe it’s not butter’ stuff. I told her it’s not the same thing and she didn’t 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 you’d be able to make the sub in a pinch? You’d need to melt it down first because the spreadable stuff in the container has air whipped into it.
I dunno, I haven’t tested it.
Edit: I didn’t see they were No Bake cookies. Yeah, that would make a much bigger difference.
One of the few things I miss on Reddit is a sub called “Ididnthaveeggs” 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 didn’t have sugar, butter, vanilla, or baking powder, and I substituted the milk with cheddar cheese. Also, I don’t 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.
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 aren’t jokes).
They will absolutely make tons of substitutions and still rate the recipe based on it. It’s 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. You’re leaving out ingredients? Right to jail. You’re editing Michelin Star recipes? Right to jail. Right away. You’re whisking too fast? Jail. Slow? Jail. You’re 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 don’t show up? Believe it or not, jail, right away. We have the best cooks in the world, because of jail.
Jail is too lenient! Death penalty!
[Door to walk-in oven slams shut]
“Hello, Kaeyghleigh, I’d 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, you’ll need to follow instructions carefu-- [whooshing noise as the gas flames flare up in the oven]. Okay, that was fast.”
7/11 with rice
I tried to make fried eggs but I didn’t have eggs so I replaced them with ice cream.
0/10 hot ice cream soup isn’t 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 know about that sub! I love hearing about those idiots
How did i not know about that sub? I would love hearing those idiots
This makes me think of this classic about changing recepies…
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 it’s like 5% sugar by weight. If you’re cutting out stuff with that low of a ratio, you’re probably taking a low sugar diet a bit far.
I wouldn’t eat a raw carrot either unless I’m looking for a sugar shock but this is like one ingredient of a cake, a fucking CAKE!! What else did you supplement?
I wouldn’t eat a raw carrot either unless I’m looking for a sugar shock
Are you literally out of your mind? Sugar shock from A CARROT??
Are you sure you’re not confusing “a raw carrot“ with “a big bag of candy”? It’s a common mistake in some cultures, I bet 🤷
I’m not an expert on that but I’m 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 I’m a bit of a doofus for going all in on my “they’re super serial” hypothesis.
Have a lovely day 😁
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 weren’t available. So assuming this person was looking for a “low sugar cake” recipe, they may have found a carrot cake recipe that only used carrots for sweetening.
… and then they removed the carrots to reduce the sugar content further. So yah it’s 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 sad…
More kale
They’re making a cake, you don’t want sugar in cake!
Red kale is actually kinda sweet
I’ve replaced the celery in the raw celery recipe with pizza. Why am I not losing weight?
It says 10 calories per serving! What gives!?
I’m doing keto, but with muffins.
In the 60s of last century (IIRC, was before my time) there was a product called “Millical”, 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 “day pack”. Basically a diet powder. Best comment was “It tastes boring, so instead of water, I mix it with cream.”
These are the people who are impressed by llm ai.
Carrots have way too much sugar?? To go in a cake?? Wut
What’s wrong honey? You haven’t 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
That’s insane, pronunciation and meaning are indeed very similar.
In my grandparents’ region (south-east of France), there’s a traditional pie made with leafy greens: tourte de blettes, that is to say “chard pie”.
My grandmother calls it tourte d’herbes (“herb pie”), it’s very good, there’s definitely sugar in it!
There’s a sub for this on the other site, called “Didn’tHaveEggs”. It’s funny as.
Damn I must’ve missed out on that one on other site
funny as what
as
They forgot the *.
It’s funny as <wildcard>, meaning funny as anything!
Funny as fuck. The last word is implied.
I must’ve done the fucking wrong if it’s supposed to be funny.
Different people find different things funny?
They were making a joke.
Ah. Went over my head.
I know. All good.
“as” is short for “as shit” it’s like “af” but instead it’s “as”
Either way we’re having a good time.
Where I’m from we say “funny as” missing off the “fuck”.
I’ve heard Kiwis say “sweet as” to mean something similar to “it’s cool”-- can’t 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 couldn’t remember the name.
