/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Jump in front of the train and use my body as a brake

I will save all the vegetables or die trying, there is too much at stake

yes

What if we just pull it halfway and kill everyone on board instead?

>>9841031

WHAT A DILEMMA

i turn 360 degrees and shoot the hostage

I'll keep the alliums to spite that cult who won't eat them.

>>9841031
it doesnt matter
just collect seeds after and regrow them

>>9841040
I mean what's even on board? We're talking a serious hit to pretty much everything we eat every day either way

I am torn between my two true loves, potatoes and onions/garlic...

>>9841035
i would literally kill myself to save a group of vegetables

>>9841059
Im glad you agree, we can die together, onward!

Obligatory

I think I'd have to save my onion bros.

Nightshades are actually a new world crop, and we got by okay without them. A lot of dishes are based around tomatoes or potatoes, and we would lose those dishes altogether. But it seems like virtually every dish uses onion or garlic in some way. I'd rather lose a few dishes completely than have almost every dish take a significant hit to its flavor.

Also I'm pretty sure we can synthesize capsaicin so it's not the end of the world to lose peppers.

>>9841038
This

>>9841038
Same. Potatoes are the ultimate food.

If you save the nightshades, you won't have anything to flavour them with.
If you save the ayy lmaos, you won't have anything TO flavour
It's a lose lose

But save the onions, I guess. Since you can still flavour meat

>>9841040
You're controlling a switch that will redirect the path of the trolley. It's not a brake.
>>9841049
There's nothing on board.

>>9841166
>t. vampire

>>9841281
We'd still have sweet potatoes?

>>9841031
As much as I like potatoes, I'd have to save the garlic and onions.

>>9841356
how dare you

The onions, not even a question. That whole side is just seasonings while the other side is staple foods.

>>9841031
>onions

>>9841451
>being gay

>>9841443
There are other staple foods you can add the onions and garlic too. There isn't a single other group of vegetables so important to cooking as alliums.

>>9841451
>being a manchild

>>9841031
I can't choose I like them all

>>9841456
but im a girl

>>9841473
>being a womanchild

>>9841435
You don't like these sugary lumps?

>>9841031
would be better if you switched the two.

if you want to save the allums you have to wilingly sacrifice the nightshades. i say this because i think most /ck/ minded people would see the allums as the more versatile and important family, and be more inclined to save them

>>9841035
>I will save all the vegetables or die trying, there is too much at steak

FTFY

>>9841031
I'd save the alliums, but there are a few people in my life who would hate me forever for making that choice. I'd have to carry on, punished, a man forced to make a sacrifice for selfish reasons.

>>9841031
Truth be told, while I love potato-based foods, I'm gonna have to aim for the alliums' survival. Plus, in the surviving debris, there's bound to be at least SOME potato bud from which the world's supply would have to grow back from.

>>9841086
What the hell is this? Underground Tokyo train racing manga?

>>9842323
Yes. An Initial D parody called Densha de D.

>>9841540

You're banned from this thread.

You can't make me choose between onions and potatos.

That's actually like asking me which kid I like more, man.

Are you guys legit implying you cant think of ways to flavor things without onion and garlic?

I went a few years without any alliums. It was interesting. I'd think I'd be fine without nightshades, like most humans before the 15th century. lol Instanbul

>>9841031
>kill alliums
>only a few of their compounds are necessary for flavoring, and with all the onion and garlic suddenly gone you better believe they'd find a good way to synthesize those quick

>kill nightshades
>you can't easily replicate a potato or a tomato, their complex composition is too important to the overall experience

answer is obvious

>>9841031
No. No competition.

>>9841031
This thread is brought to you by: Mr. Onion tastelet!
Stay tuned for more bitching about onions!

>>9841035
>>9841031
Would act as brake too.

>>9841456
what happened to the model number on her monitor

There is no way I could turn the trolley with the onion waving and smiling at me as I send him to his doom. The nightshades must die.

>>9841031
I can deal with no potatoes (sweet potatoes are similar enough.... I guess...)


Red Bell peppers and tomtaoes will be hard though

Save nightshades, need the texture. Powder/granulated onion/garlic etc can be perfectly replicated in a lab.

If I choose alliums the trolley will run over the potatoes and mash them for me saving me the trouble so it's a win/win

>>9843295
Potatoes are simple to replicate because they're just starchy bundles instead of an actual vegetable . They even made tomato plants sprout potatoes on the bottom. They call them "toma-toes"

Pulling the lever is murder.
Thinking you're clever or funny for trying to come up with a third solution is autism.

>>9841329
He never suggested anything to do with a brake.

>>9846035
It's not about coming up with a third solution. It's about relishing in the moment that while you run away to distance yourself from this mess, All-Star will be blasting and will be your song.

>>9846018
>They even made tomato plants sprout potatoes on the bottom.
By grafting tomato plants onto potato roots.

No, save the root vegetables

>>9841031
onions and garlic, I couldn't live without them

>>9845000
thought the same thing

>>9841031
will pulling the lever violate the nap

>>9841031
Sorry can't live without my aromatics. Don't pull the lever.

>>9845000
He's flipping his finger at you.

>>9841031
Is tobacco included in nightshades? Can we have synthetic nicotine for medical use in this situation?
Alzheimer is scary af, I'd save nightshades for this.

>>9841031
The Sophiesest choice of all Sophies choices.

Saving the alliums, no contest

>>9845029
not a third option but a fact
why would i save the leek if i could still have the taste another way?
cant stuff a leek with goodness tho

Can I derail the train and kill everyone on board to save the veggies?

>>9841031
Save the nightshades. I need my potatoes.

>>9841035
That's the closest I can come to a decision, having to choose between potatoes and onions is a no-win situation.

>>9848443
There's other lumps of starch such as sweet potatoes, true yams, and plantains/cooking bananas. Are white potatoes really that special?

>>9841031
I could give up every nightshade but tomatoes to save the holy onion. But tomatoes are too precious.

I leap on the tracks and sacrifice myself to stop the train.

>>9848498
Yes.

I BRAKE FOR VEGETABLURS

>>9845029
>Powder/granulated onion/garlic etc can be perfectly replicated in a lab.
No shit, it's tasteless. That's why you shouldn't use powdered onion/garlic but fresh ingredients. Frozen is acceptable in most cases.

>>9849760
Buy better quality shit.

>>9841040
This. Pull halfway, kill everyone on the train and save all of the vegetables.

>>9841035
godspeed anon

Sorry potatoes but you lose this round, rice can always replace you but we can't replace yum-ions

>>9841031
Nope. I can replace potatoes with rice or pasta. Onions, garlic, and shallots are all sacred to me. They're preserved at all costs.

>>9852455
how do you make criss-cut fries out of rice, exactly?

>>9852486
Compress the rice into the right shape and then fry it
