Unpopular opinions

[ian]

Averna, Montenegro, Nonino are all very tasty to my palate. More savory/sweet than bitter.

I absolutely love Braulio and put it in that same category.

Fernet Branca, Campari, Aperol, Cynar, yep.

I haven't had Branca Menta, Vecchio, or San Marco.

If you like bitter bitter, I suggest Fernet del Frate. It is in no way sweet to my palate, very much a truly and unambiguously bitter fernet. Took me a few drams to really appreciate it, but now, well.

Unicum ftw!

As much as we all love workhorses, if we could only pick one knife to use on the daily it's going to be laser. Just admit it.

Middle weight. I’m a man of compromise.

What about some duocum?

Puns are funny. This is not a pun, this is sacrilege. Mock not Unicum.

Pointed tips, especially on longer knives, are vastly overrated.

The further away from your hand the tip gets, the less dexterity you have and the less useful the tip is. The heel of the knife can be very useful, particularly on in-hand tasks.

Move hand further up knife.

Choke up on it, like you were classically trained to choke up on a Paring knife.

Midlength pinch grip.

Sure. Justify however you need to.

Barely even hold the handle of my Microplane tbh

 

[sousme]

Just the tip grip. Aaaaand, I’m done.

You have a handle on yours?

That's what she said.

If you ever have someone else working in the home kitchen, doubt they're gonna pick up that 300mm gyuto. Great way to prevent abuse when you aren't looking.

This is the world's best coffee. Tasting note:

"This tasted like how that roadside motel where everybody gets murdered in No Country for Old Men probably smelled."

Case closed.

 

[sousme]

Nope. That’s what HE said, plaintively.

It’s an offer to increase our respective revenue streams

 

[aporigine]

It’s an offer to increase our respective revenue streams

Your own idea, or something from a pundit?

 

[HolyDiverScallop]

Seriously. Are we not doing phrasing anymore???

I was totally expecting that Indonesian weasel poo coffee.

It’s called Luwak because that’s the precise sound one makes when bravely resolving to swallow, but it instantly and violently reverses direction.

Closely followed by this stuff.

They claim that it is actually made out of coffee, but I'm not sure I believe it. I don't know whether this is sold in the US. If not, be glad. Even as a student in the 80s, while I was as poor as a church mouse, I refused to drink it. Its taste is almost, but not quite, entirely unlike coffee.

Ah, finally a truly unpopular opinion. Tips are cool regardless of the length. Tipless knives are dumb.

 

[Michi]

The problem with knives isn't the tip, it's the edge. Edgeless knives are the way to go. Much safer, too!

@JBroida must have read this thread too. Love DAK.
