Topic: Today's White-People™ moment

Anonymous A started this discussion 6 years ago #94,128

I made pho for Thanksgiving. I had an assembly line set up. Noodles go in the bowl, then beef, then boiling broth, then herbs, etc. Into each bowl I place just two VERY VERY THINLY SLICED Jalapeno pieces, green. I mean thin. Two of the White-People™ each ate one of the tiny slices and started coughing, sweating, chocking, howling, saying, "Oh my God! It's so hot! Oh my God! I hate an entire pepper!" and had to get up and rise their mouth with cold water. My God. This really happened.

White People: It's Just Too Spicy™

Uncooked Jalapeno is silly to put in a standard dish in the USA. You should probably make it optional or point it out to people. It is pretty hot for a soup and people unfamiliar with Pho wouldn't expect it. I find it kind of dumb to whine about a very foreseeable problem like this.

I actually eat a lot of jalapenos and put Tabasco on everything. I know a lot of white people who do likewise. I just don't get the "white people can't handle spicy food" meme. Maybe I'm biased because the white people I know are Houston ni??as and maybe ni??as in Cincinnati or Minneapolis or whatever really don't eat spicy food, idk.

First of all I am Betting you did not make the Pho broth as they do in Vietnam and in quality Pho restaurants in USA - At a bare minimum it takes 9 HOURS and 20 mins just to cook the broth and one hell of a lot of skimming and re-do over and over again with the many hours and attendance is required.

#2 I assume of course UR that idiot who thinks he has some kind of sloppy 2nd fry cook training and lives in a State Famous for Hot Sauces in Bottles SUCH as This

IF I have pinned the tail on the Donkey - How Wood a few slices of Jalapeno be a problem

Opening a package of Top Ramen and using the packet for your broth and using Rice Noodles IS NOT Pho

I made Real Pho just once and will NEVER NEVER NEVER EVER NOT ONE MORE TYME Make it again - It's an Item best made by Professionals who grew up where hard labour to make Soup is what people do

There are maybe 4 other items I have taken the time to do 100% as it should be done. Worst experience was watching a PBS series on cooking and an Asian Gal does a Two episode show on how to cook Peking Duck. Now this was B4 VCR's to record wayyy back when - So I watched Both programs paying close attention and taking notes.

And get this - You need a Bicycle Pump and lots of technique to close the skin real tight as you Pump Air so the Skin totally separates from the bird. I said to Self Sure I have one and will learn to do AND DO

Then at the very last 30 seconds of the 2nd program She SAYS - And this is why you cannot do this dish at Home (Special Vertical Oven)

So the Engineer in my says OF COURSE I CAN AND Will build the OVEN And DID - Let me tell you that building of the Oven and all the rest was no big deal - The Pumping Air into the Bird!!!!!! Learning to suture with serious stitches the slimy skin and keeping the air from leaking out so you can PUMP IT UP

Was so much work - Tore skin to much and bought a total of 3 Ducks to get one Right

Yes that Peking Duck came out JUST FUCKING Purrrrrfect and NEVER EVER Will I do that Again - I place my order as a 2Go and am thankful the cost is as low as it IS

By the way building a gas oven powered by a tank of Propane - It ain't a fraction of difficult and a junk yard or thrift store I forget - Had all the material I needed - The motor to rotate was directly out of a Bar-B-Q grill and old one they handed to me for free

One COULD use to Bar-B-Qs turned on sides and propped up - Some simple metal shielding around the contraption for a one time use - Just NOT exactly hard to do compared to building a Receiver or Transmitter/HAM Radio or hell even an Antenna and Rotator for - I am a Rotten Mechanic but building that oven was just a few hours project and MOSTLY shopping for the Stuff to make it.

Today I wood go with 2 Bar-B-Q's - I C free ones in good condition on sidewalks for the taking and Free all the tyme
