On ableism and food snobbery: https://thewalrus.ca/garlic-in-a-jar/
This reminds me how it’s probably a good idea to avoid being odious to someone (even a hypothetical stranger) in a public space for purely aesthetic reasons and save disgust for moral ones.
@koavf That breed of at-home cooking snobs usually haven't been cooking for very long or very often. Some things have diminishing returns, like fresh vs jarred garlic. They usually don't even know HOW to dice garlic properly.
@JLong Good point: this is maybe one of those instances where converts are the most energized and extreme?
@koavf You can chop garlic in a small coffee grinder if knives aren't an option. Just a few pulses should do it.
@koavf Definitely, so get one you use that's just for food. But the small ones don't cost too much. You can also make pesto.
