Blake If they eat a lot of it why do they have leftovers

[@evilfriedchicken5965]

@@alailailloo Comparing the total amount of bought food is useless, as you already noticed. We'd better look at the ratio of bought food to eaten food, and here the total amount of food makes a difference: Assume you buy your groceries with 20% inaccuracy, meaning you under- or overestimate how much you're going to eat by 20% on average. If you buy 20 carrots and only use 80% of them, 4 are left. If you only buy 5, still making an error of 20%, there's only one carrot left. Thus, more leftovers in absolute numbers. If everyone bought their groceries with perfect accuracy, there wouldn't be any leftovers at all and this discussion wouldn't make much sense, so we should go with the previous scenario. So much for absolute numbers, but the the relative numbers might differ as well: People who eat a lot may actually be worse at predicting their future food intake, because a larger stomach means that natural fluctuations of your stomach size have a larger absolute impact on how much food you can take.

When I was a kid, one of my favourite dinners was 'Mr. Greedy's Grub' from The Mr. Men Cookbook. It was a simple recipe: put alternating layers of chopped potato and sliced onion in a pot, add water, and boil until the onion is soft, the potato starts to break down, forming something like wet mashed potatoes but with a wonderful onion flavour. Then add chopped fried sausage (or corned beef, the book suggested, though we never did) and serve. I'm not really sure what it's really called; I've never seen another recipe like it.

came here exaclty looking for this comment, haha i saw the thumbnail and was like Oh, pytt i panna?

[@mo3bo]

I made this but had no bell peppers so I used carrots. While cooking the carrots became somewhat caramelized and made for an amazing sweet but savory dish without overpowering and complimenting each flavor. Highly recommended✌️😁

[@enlongjones2394]

Start the episode with my phone in my pocket: “oh, that sounds like Babish. I guess there’s no ad before this video.” Voice over starts talking about some fancy gin, not potatoes: “oh wait. Oh, there IS an ad. I guess the guy just sounds a bit like Babish.” Actual episode starts, Babish is doing an ad read for that same gin brand: “wait, what?” So, did you also do an actual ad for the gin, or is this just a supreme coincidence?

[@thimonschneider8006]

What about a hit Cat or the Steak from Mattaton

[@SchizoMuch]

The potato dish is very reminiscent of a Tunisian dish that's called potato shakshuka, it has a Tunisian spice mix called Bajar. Only thing I remember that's certainly in it is cinnamon, but there's probably some cumin as well, along with other stuff. Anyway the dish is chopped onions fried with paprika, then the potatoes and the Bajar, top with some eggs cooked to your liking, and serve with a white crunchy absorbent bread of your choice. If I wasn't as drunk as I am right now, I'd look up the actual recipe and translate it. Thanks to Google for autocorrect

[@gryla5290]

It reminds me of that because he made that in an earlier episode

[@greenyawgmoth]

You're missing the tomatoes in there, which is practically what makes it shakshuka and not potato hash. It's one of my favorite "I should cook *something* but I don't want effort" meals.

[@SchizoMuch]

@@greenyawgmoth I'm sorry guy but I'm not missing tomatoes. There while they are a key ingredient in "regular" shakshuka, they don't belong in the Tunisian potato shakshuka. (This reply was typed while sober 😜)

[@randomperson46]

Maybe to help it not stick

[@Iskulaatikko]

I figured it was to fit the bacon better in the pan, as it cooks it tightens up and would fit better flattened down but that’s just my guess. Also when i think about it it could stop the bacon from curling up but now i’m just making up stuff. We need a basics with babish: bacon.

[@trainedwarrior502]

I've been pulling my bacon in the center for a while now. It's to help the bacon fit in the pan so the ends cook nicely. Pans are hottest around the center and coldest at the sides, pulling the ends in by pinching the center helps a lot with evenly cooking the bacon. Once it shrinks, you can just flatten it out and cook it as you usually would.

[@WYATTFC99]

Thanks for the meal idea! I just made it for my wife but with my own spin to it. Here's how I did mine: I made the bacon first then used the bacon fat to fry the chopped up onion. I seasoned with oregano, celery salt, and chives. After that I added the cubed potatoes and chopped bacon. I then sectioned off the 4 eggs till done.. O yes, I also used a pinch of cayenne pepper..
