    What the hell? I just looked at the new edition of Dinners and Deserts and found that my pork roast has just had most of it's flavor types moved over to this new group "Umami". I mean what the fuck? What is this weeaboo bullshit I've been balancing Sweetness, Bitterness, Sourness, and Saltiness for years to get this, a weeaboo loving piece of shit that goes "lawl meat is really this!". Bull fucking shit that not only peddles to idiots but weeaboo fucks.

    Fail troll is fail.

    Umami is a flavour in the same sense that sourness is a flavour. MSG is to umami as sugar is to sweet. Mushrooms and tomatos are naturally umami'ish foods.

    Metallicness isn't a basic taste, its a supplemental sensation

    they released a big book of them a couple years back. Coolness and hotness fall into this area as well.

    Fattiness was in it with a note that it might be bumped up to a basic taste.

    Lack of synergies. Gold flake + foie gras + truffles + kobe beef looks great on paper, but it's too busy, and doesn't really do any one thing well. Now compare that with, say, a simple smoked salmon and rosemary roasted potatoes build. Flavor off the charts, good fat to protein ratio, and at a quarter of the cost. The "everything expensive for no fucking reason" build is really better suited for BBEG NPCs.

    I dunno, all that generalization? I prefer a nice, simple salt-rubbed strip steak that's been intimately acquainted with a hot cast-iron pan for a few minutes on each side. Plenty of protein for any situation, the option (though I consider it mandatory) of taking some fresh black pepper at character creation, and if the other players aren't dicks they'll pick up the slack in the areas you don't cover.

    It depends a lot on the environment, really. If you're running a high-society campaign, then obviously a basic strip steak and a beer just won't work. On the other hand, if you're just doing a basic introductory adventure, tenderloin and red wine is overkill.

    The ones that start pure Vegetarian in mindset and stay pure Vegetarian all the way through? Can be fucking sublime. Buddhist Temple is one, but there's also a whole bunch of other East, Southeast and South Asian cuisines that can cover pretty much any class that isn't totally dependent on meat products.

    That's the great thing about tofu: you can use it with pretty much any flavor you want.

    It's a sort of blank canvas of variable texture, on which you can inscribe whatever sauces, infusions or garnishes you desire.

    If you want to maximize sneak attack potential, though, I recommend you go with caramel as your tofu dessert flavor and then disguise it as a flan.

    You only have to go foreign because most people don't even bother to put in the effort to do good vegetarian dishes that fit with a Euro/American setting.

    But you want to know one dish that works pretty well for me? The Caprese Sandwich. Take a long, crusty bread. Split in half. Layer slices of fresh tomato, slices of fresh mozzarella, and basil leaves onto the bottom half. Cover with a light mixture of balsamic vinegar and olive oil, then put the top half back on.

    Simple, elegant, and epically delicious.

    Both of you are missing the point, which is that when your dish is easy to prepare, you can focus more on the presentation and that's how you produce epic meals. Sure flavor is important, but there are other things to consider when you're trying to sell food.

    Like not having a menu so complex that your restaurant manager spends his whole time ringing up orders and can never remember what ingredients are in each dish. So he can actually talk up the food and find some interesting customers that the kitchen staff can enjoy serving instead of just trying to get them out the door as soon as possible like they do at World of Waffles.

    Well if you're really pissed about it you could try giving him REALLY well done, but you never know with these well done types, he might just like it like that. It basically comes down to how much you trust him. If he's run some good meals in the past, maybe he has something specific in mind for this one that well done might taste really good with - ask him what temperature you should hold the pan at for the cut you had in mind. If he won't help you at all with your dish after insisting well done, or if he tries to micromanage every aspect of it, you need to decide whether you want to put up with that kind of shit. Remember there's always work out there for a good chef.

    Sounds like your chef needs to go back to school or hit the books. He should also you to use time management if he's gonna micro manage the meal, what do you do the whole time the steak is burning into a lump of coal, stare at it? He might think your class is overpowered and is trying to give it a challenge, but I feel he's just trying to mess with you. Well done steak is easy and if he gives you much more trouble, I'd hit up another kitchen.

    Try doing an apple/pear combo. Similar texture and flavors, can be used interchangeably in most recipes(so fits thematically as well). Your chef shouldn't have a problem trying that out, and if it's a disaster you can avoid half-pies in the future.

    My group has been trying to do a raw food/sushi group for a while. I think it'd get boring after a while, there are only so many methodologies you can follow before all the dishes seem to come out the same. I'd wait for the full on eastern handbook to hit the shelves and just do a group then. That way you can have your sushi as well as an entire group of new cuisines for those of us that want to mix it up with some flame and utensils.

    I heard in the new editions that the Tart can be outclassed by a simple Tiramisu!

    I hate to admit it, but I'd probably be That Guy and put all my points into Disguise and Wasabi if my chef started a sushi-only meal.

    I've got two players who routinely take turns as Chef, one's been doing it for years, and it shows, she's very good at running a basic English Diet meal, but she can't stand spicy meals, either to run or to play so we never play them unless she's not there for some reason.

    On the other hand, the other guy... he isn't terribad, but he's nowhere near as good as he thinks he is. His Shepards Pie was terrible, and his Spaghetti isn't to great either. On the other hand he doesn't mind running spicy, so if I want that, he's my only option.
    I think he's finally got the knack of running a Rissoto though, and on Christmas he does a Bubble & Squeak, which is amazing.
    I know a lot of noobs slate the Sprout, but fuck them, they don't know what they're missing.

    I only Chef very rarely, I'm not that good at it and I still need all of my rulebooks with me as I still don't know the rules off by heart.
    Apart from Omlette, I run the best damn stuffed omlette game in the british isles: FACT.

    On fridays we mostly just play pre-made modules.
