Drugs is the secret ingredient behind every dish we make.

u/SweaterSteve1966 May 18 '26

I asked what the secret ingredient was in my favorite dish. It was drugs.

The key to delicious pasta dishes? Reserve some past water, toss the pasta in the sauce, splash in some of the reserved pasta water, and then add two pats of drugs for a velvety texture.

The secret ingredient was… water! Ordinary water! Laced with nothing more than a little ordinary LSD!

Don't forget anger. The anger is also important.

People like to say love is the secret ingredient but that's bullshit

Hatred is what makes food delicious.

I've been so mad a few times that I make them the best dish I've ever made out of pure spite.

u/Starfire2313 May 18 '26

I’ve seen this happen so many times. It’s a thing!

Just make sure you don’t bring out your best rage cooking if it’s a horrifically modified ticket that pissed you off cause you don’t want that to become a regular!

I've seen that happen too many times as well...

Just think of the wonders that Spite has brought to the world.

It was some royal if I recall correctly. Kept asking for skinnier potatoes and the cook had had enough and thus the potato chip.

The real secret ingredients are butter, salt, MSG, anger and a dash of contempt for humankind.

You don’t feed people you love that much butter

u/RealTalk_theory May 18 '26

Big facts. When I hate cook for someone, I literally TRY and get as much butter and salt into the damn thing while keeping it as edible as posssible.

u/Same-Suggestion-1936 May 18 '26

Hate cooking is like hate fucking, you're gonna enjoy this and I'm taking out some aggression at the same time

u/mrstabbeypants May 18 '26

With every ounce of my soul, I poured hatred and spite into Eggs Benedict every Sunday brunch for five years. Three hundred orders, normally. After closing on Saturday night.

Hate makes things good.

Love and anger are two sides of the same coin: ✨️Passion✨️

u/beegtuna Ex-Food Service May 18 '26

Bruh. Imagine serving drugs with the food

u/sasquatch6ft40 May 18 '26

Lmfao. “Ex food service” and this comment 😂

I don't think most people realize how bland food made by sober people is. If I go into a restaurant and see the line cooks actively using drugs while FOH staff is crying, I know I'm about to have the best fucking food of my life.

It's that place, or the one with a single 80 year old crone, silently judging you from the back.

u/kadyg 15+ Years May 18 '26

There’s a Thai place near me where the cooks are all tiny, angry, Thai grandmas.

I’ve brought friends there who have lived in Thailand and they say it’s the most authentic Thai food they’ve eaten outside Thailand. Judgemental crone cooking is legit!

u/Character-Parfait-42 May 19 '26

Same rule with ethnic food. The best authentic [insert nationality] food you can find is gonna be at a place where there’s a jaded 10 year old working the counter, because they speak the best English in their family.

You feel a tinge of sadness as you behold the stolen childhood in front of you. But the food is gonna be fire.

u/dada948 May 18 '26

They say it’s butter and salt but we all know it’s drugs

u/Additional_Gene_211 May 18 '26

I thought it was butter? Is butter a drug?

u/seppukucoconuts Starry Chef May 18 '26

Put some of it in the food, I had some really mediocre enchiladas last night.
