The closer I get to that "old chef" icon myself, the more I come to realize that the majority of it is projected onto the concept from the surrounding culture... (I blame that very thing for contributing in large part to the robbing us all of Bourdain, in fact. ๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ๐)

TBF, not only would that same Italian person you envision also die every time a "pizza" is made, (IRL, they're far hardier as a people) but I personally reached a similar point in my impression of "proper" sushi. ๐คท๐ฝโโ๏ธ For decades now, I've looked down on cream cheese, et al, used as ingredients in rolls of all kinds. That eventually evolved into other disdainful opinions on adjacent foods' contents, but I've fairly recently discovered a simple fact: in its culture of origin, sushi is known to on occasion include ice cream as an ingredient.
Therefore? Such quixotic prescriptionism is worse than useless: it restricts access to experiences based on fabricated and imaginary rules (or, face the piercing judgment of... actually no one at all).
Fuck what "people" say. Engage with your wife's view, and maybe even join her in exploring what other curious ways one can enjoy weird shit. ๐ซ๐๐ฝ
Hunh. I'm not having that problem, but sorry for assuming. That's good to know, though. ๐๐ฝ
That's a waste of good goose down. ๐ค๐ฝ
Didn't even know this was here, sorry. ๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ
"Payed" is a nautical term, ya limp cucklet
