I completely agree. Come on Google! Get with the now.

Opinion noted and there's really no way for me to refute it, as the opinion is held by many and it's pretty safe to say that it is the standard. But my opinion is that the design decisions of the past create false senses of what does and does not feel "right", and that it is not apparent until many years later when a group of people break that standard and do something different in mass, intentionally or unintentionally. In time, as people accept the change and the old guard dies off (or is assimilated), it becomes a standard in its own right.

Consider what was acceptable fashion 100 years ago versus today; what was acceptable in art, architecture, music, and culinary arts in the Western hemisphere. Think of how web design standards and video games have changed. Or our sexual zeitgeist, for that matter.

I dunno, I'd be down for a triangle view or a circular view if there were technology readily available for the masses to create with.

Much was accomplished, for example, the phrase "bird of prey" will be replaced with "bird of mobile culinary opportunity."

i'll take some fresh spring rolls, crispy spring rolls, pad ped kai, pad thai, basil chicken extra spicy, kang karie and some chicken satay


Since you clearly like your Thai food, I thought I'd reply here with some pronunciation and literal translation quirks about those menu items -- the staff at a Thai restaurant (assuming they are Thai anyway) will get a kick out of it if you play up the right angles. This gets long (sorry), so anyone not interested skip to the next post...

Spring rolls - "bpo bpeah" in Thai. The bp is a phoneme that we don't really have in English -- try to combine the two sounds but err on the side of sounding more like "p" than "b". The second word sounds sort of like "bpEEE-uhhh", or like how somebody with a thick Massachusetts accent would say "beer" or "peer". For crispy spring rolls, you would just add the word "toht" to the end, which means "fried" or deep fat fried -- "bpo bpeah toht".

Pad Ped Kai - Pad means "fried" also, but more like pan fried. Ped (sounds more like "pet") means "spicy". Kai means "egg". So all together I would think that would mean "stir-fried spicy egg", but it isn't a menu item that I have heard of before. I think that maybe the Kai should be Gai instead -- Gai means "chicken". The "g" sound in Thai is sort of halfway between a g and a k, so sometimes things get phonetically translated in different ways. But if it is chicken, make it sound more like a g; like "guy".

Pad Thai - sort of indirectly translates as "that fried dish that is famous/popular in Thailand", which is descriptive but not in a content / culinary way like most Thai food.

Basil Chicken Extra Spicy - the most popular Thai dish that is heavy on basil is Pad Kapow (sounds like the word for hitting someone; ka-POW). So, I bet that the Thai name for your Basil Chicken would be Pad Kapow Gai. Throw a "Pet Maak" on the end to specify extra spicy -- "pad kapow gai pet maak".

Kang Karie - I usually see this one romanized into G's instead of K's. Usually "gaeng gallee" (I'd argue that is the best phonetic guide also). "Kang"/"Gaeng" means "curry", and "Gallee" is a specific type of curry. However, point of interest, "gallee" also means "whore". This Thai homonym is responsible for menu translations like the one you can see here. To explain that link, "gallee" curry comes in powder form. The Thai word/phrase for gallee curry powder is "foong gallee". Run that through google translate or the like, and instead of getting "gallee curry powder" you get "whore dust". This is a source of great amusement to Thais, making fun of their friends when ordering, etc.

Chicken Satay - not originally a Thai thing (loooong time ago), but it is very popular here now. In the US I always heard it said like "saw-tay", but in Thailand it sounds more like "SUH-tae". Chicken satay is available, but generally more popular among foreigners here. In areas without a large farang (western foreigner) population, 99% of the time satay will be pork. I actually like the pork version better now. Anyway, in Thai chicken satay would sound like "gai suhtae" and pork would sound like "moo suhtae".

According to an unreliable source I found while googling, prior to 1877 it was always called cottage pie no matter what leftover meat was used to make it.
If I make cottage pie though, I use beef mince and make sure it's got some carrot and peas
>> ^Seric:
Shepard's Pie - traditionally British.
Also, something I don't get with other countries, Shepard's pie is LAMB. Not beef, that's a Cottage pie. Not damn TURKEY, that's some other kind of damn pie...
Shepard - sheep.
Think about it.

....I would accept "Turkey Shepard's Pie"



Hear hear! Carrots and peas are a must :>

Interesting fact regarding historical pie nomenclature, I'd no idea. Still, people should update their culinary cognomen to post 1877 to make me happier :B

^it's art when it is created for beauty and provoking thought.

edit: behold the culinary derivative!

yea I know, its deer meat have you not heard that jimmy car joke ?

its just a ploy to get peole to recognize it and click on it. I am not worried about backlash of improper term.


In reply to this comment by Lann:
Venison is a culinary name.

I wonder what the culinary name for a dog or cat meat would be.

*islam, *downunder and - considering how insane culinary halal requirements are (and kashrut) - dare I say *cult?

What a handsome, eloquent fellow, with fine tastes, culinary and musical.

Wonder who the hell that is?

Weird. The salt causes this?
It's been a few years since I took Physiology, but I'm inclined to think the salt gets it started.


Muscle activity is primarily dependent on the flow of calcium, so I'm guessing the salt is triggering action potentials in the motor nerves. The residual twitching could be the result of disinhibition.
Being unfamiliar with frog anatomy (and culinary preparation) I'm not entirely certain how much of the spinal cord remains, if any; they don't appear to be particularly coordinated movements, so I suspect there isn't much spinal muscle memory going on.
That said, so much of animal physiology is dependent on the flow and balance of ions (like sodium), so it could be an entirely different process than I've postulated.

dude..your awesome.

I would say this is probably *nsfw. ... and awesome! are they diving for pearls, or culinary oysters? I can't turn up the volume right now. if they are for eating, somebody put this is the cooking channel. In any case, it belongs in *femme

For the culinary benefit of the sift, I'm going to *beg

^It may well be a culinary delight, mr. judgmental. Dog Cobb salad anyone?

Culinary experimentation is an integral and necessary expression of human nature. Deviant foods have been present in every society since the dawn of time. It is the drive of man to eat fried pickle sandwiches, to compete successfully for advantage on the battlefield of life and evolution. In fact, it is this very competition to eat fried pickle sandwiches that motivates man to do anything productive and worthwhile in the first place. It is this competition that motivates man to aspire to greatness. Can you imagine men striving for greatness were they not motivated by their drive to eat fried pickle sandwiches by any means? Of course not, because the drive to eat fried pickle sandwiches is at the very core of mankind's essence! As long as we disregard silly 'god' superstitions and recognize that a man is ultimately responsible to and for himself, we therefore recognize that any measures that attempt to stifle this natural and inherent drive to eat fried pickle sandwiches by any means are inherently wrong. To stifle deviant foods is the perverse anti-human dream of the superstitious or a bloated priestly class, or the self-promoted intelligentsia, which of course is both of these at the same time. In fact, no human society has successfully eliminated culinary experimentation, despite myriad measures designed to curb deviant foods. If man were only truly free to pursue this integral part of his nature we would walk as the masters of the Earth that we are!
