Pasta Is The Only Correct Option Here.Rice Is Used With Far Too Much Stuff, Same With Potatoes, And Bread

Pasta is the only correct option here. Rice is used with far too much stuff, same with potatoes, and bread to a lesser extent, but Pasta?

Sure you're now missing out on a lot of foods and basically all Italian restaurants, but that's a small sacrifice to pay for being able to eat the rest of the items on this poll.

Now the real question is which would be worse of the remaining 3?

Shit, only 10k for something like that in 2 weeks? That is an absolute steal if you ask me.

That is absolutely amazing.

A conversation at a wedding, beside the gifts table. There is a large box wrapped in violently purple paper sitting beside the table.

Guest: That's a big box. Wonder what's in it.

Me: A custom handmade quilt on an oak quilt rack.

Guest: Really?

Me: Yup. Wanna see?

Guest: Sure.

Me: *shows pics on my phone*

Guest: Wow. You made that?

Me: Yep. Finished it last night.

Guest: That's amazing. Very purple.

Me: Yeah, (bride) asked for that.

Guest: Oh, she knows about it?

Me: I worked with her on the design. But she hasn't seen the finished quilt yet. It's a surprise.

Guest: So you take commissions? Could you make one in, say, two weeks?

Me: That depends. Do you have ten thousand dollars?

Guest: What.

Me: Materials, labor, overtime to make that deadline--yeah, it would start at 10K. Might be higher if you wanted expensive materials or some really fancy technique.

Guest: That's a lot of money!

Me: It is.

Guest: Did you charge (bride) that much?

Me: No. Hers is a gift.

Guest: A ten thousand dollar gift?

Me: Well, to the extent that I am part of a quilting tradition at all, the tradition I'm part of is that quilts can ONLY be given as gifts. Anyone who could casually afford to pay for the amount of work involved in a quilt is probably not someone to be trusted with art.

Guest: Art?

Me: ART.

Guest: ...

Me: I also made her a nice satin dressing gown, which she wore for hair and makeup earlier.

Guest: Is that art, too?

Me: I mean, it's got pockets.

Cooking show concept: Culinary Horrors Around The World!

The concept is that instead of being one of those "eeew, they eat bugs" sort of xenophobic shitshows, it's about a british professional chef being handed ingredients of the traditional cuisine of a different culture each episode, and watch him try to figure out how to make food from them. There's a chef who's a professional at that specific cuisine at the studio for each episode, who is not allowed to intervene in any situation save for if the mistake the british chef is making is life threatening.

The horror of the show is watching somebody happily peel a fruit that you know Should Not Be Peeled, and then frying the peel. Occasionally the camera cuts to the Expert Chef silently cringeing while watching this. They're placed behing an one-sided mirror so the star of the show can't take clues from their expressions. Each episode ends with the professional's breakdown on everything that went wrong in this kitchen, and how this or that step or ingredient should have been handled.
