From an in universe standpoint I recognize what he's flipping out about. Chefs have only been taught how to use a machine, and the concept of cooking has been thrown out the window outside the inner areas. Due to people apparently having trouble surviving sustenance was gained through 'food' that was put through processors. Catgirl mentioned that the older processors in use pretty much everywhere suck because that's what they were made for. You stick your processed MRE slop into the machine and out comes something resembling edibility that gives your body enough nutrients to survive. The fact Terra can cook the synthfood slop into something good is because the slop has an actual flavor to it before it gets machined into something that resembles proper food. Due to generations of food being made in machines, it has become just a part of life. People forgot what cooking was because there is nobody teaching what cooking is. Her sandwiches proved that until it is in some way heated it is quite literally slop, so without ovens people wouldn't be mixing their precooked synthfood together. If it doesn't look like food, and even your grandparents were taught it wasn't food, then you will think it's not edible yet. This is how you enact sweeping changes in a society. Keep teaching people a certain way, and eventually they will teach their children, and after 4-6 generations the old way things are done will be nothing more than stories you can put into textbooks to make fun of people for being unenlightened.
Oh God I remember having to fix a salt/sugar fuckup. Was running shift at a restaurant and had to take over the front due to call outs, when one of the waitresses came to me because people were complaining that their food tasted wrong. People don't realize how much salt and butter goes on their food until that salt is now sugar. Or how much sugar goes into drinks until it is now salt. Every shift people were supposed to portion out containers for drinks, as well as shakers for food. I had to go through every single container tasting what was salt and what was sugar because some fuckwit couldn't read a bag. Even the table shakers were messed up.
Counterpoint. Spider tanks jumping off the ceiling onto you in your sleep. Like coconut crabs.
"Military Grade" is commonly both better and worse than what a lot of people think. Those that know the military goes cheap usually don't realise that the military specifically has usage requirements on what it uses. It isn't your bought it for a penny off a Chinese website stuff. It needs to work as expected every single time for years. Then they find the cheapest person who can do that. If you want to make something better give it to the military. Nobody can break something better than they do. So by the time you're at version 4 or 5 of a military thing it's pretty much going to work even after it's been used as a hammer for the last ten years.
She literally said out loud that she was going to.
That's.....not bad. Had an €80 fine dining potato before. It was just a plain baked potato with some garnish on it. The terrine they served was fantastic though.
Schlong mommy?
