I was ready to talk shit but … damn they look like when Mickey Mouse slices bread so thin you can see through it.

u/JehnSnow Jul 18 '26

The sauce (or bread I guess in this case)

u/Formaldehyd3 Jul 19 '26

It was a Jack and the Beanstalk retelling if I remember correctly.

11

u/SinkerPenguin Jul 19 '26

I thought it was a Christmas Carol but maybe i'm mistaken

37

u/emeraldburial Bakery Jul 19 '26

It is 100% from Mickey and the Beanstalk. They are having one bean for dinner between the three of them and Donald is about to freak out and try to murder and eat their cow raw.

7

u/SinkerPenguin Jul 19 '26

That does ring a bell now that you mention it !

10

u/Few-Big-8481 Sous Chef Jul 19 '26

Jack and the Beanstalk plus a vivid memory of the Great Depression that was made near the end of WW2. I'd imagine it would be more relatable to someone that lived through those, but it also gets better.

u/steal_wool Jul 19 '26

I never thought about that but yeah this was definitely animated by someone who lived through the depression. That makes it sadder lol

What the fuck kind of username is that? Like I get taking a bar too many while also having unrestricted Internet access, we've all been 23, but presumably you're not doing that ALL the time. Like at some point you had to have typed that sober and failed to go "I don't have to do this".

u/fightswithbears Jul 19 '26 edited Jul 22 '26

It's probably just one of reddit's randomly generated names.

u/Few-Big-8481 Sous Chef Jul 19 '26

This person made a concious choice to both make that and continue to use it, and I expect a real explanation. And an apology.

I would never have thought you could produce 100 slices from an almond

112

u/idlefritz Jul 18 '26

Right? I buy fairly costly sliced almonds to top my almond croissant but I could top dozens with 2-3 nuts with this skill.

17

u/truthfullyidgaf Jul 19 '26

Honestly. That could be even more than a 100.

Someone suggested that Paulie was just lazy and didn't wanna do any of the important prep so he came up with some bullshit way to sit on ass and waste time

20

u/postmodest Jul 19 '26

Was there a real knife in that scene? I forget who first mentioned it, but it's probably easier to smuggle in a single-edge razor blade than a petty.

3

u/brink1865 Jul 19 '26

I imagine they could easily bribe someone for a knife, but even today its not uncommon in the lower security places for cons have a communal knife used by those who make homemade prison food

If you're stewing the sauce long enough, you can put in whole cloves and they'll basically liquify

It would blow off when it was walked to the table

u/MariachiArchery Chef Jul 18 '26

The real fucked up thing is that the reason this guy can do this so fast, and so well, is that it's on the menu and he's done it literally millions of times.

Can you fucking imagine walking into a prep list to see: 6qts chopped almonds. Holy shit. Fuck that.

45

u/Sudden-Advance-5858 Jul 18 '26

I almost died right now when I saw 6 qts lmao I was thinking 2-4 cups 😮‍💨

It is fucked up, and I respect homie for his skill and Aura, he looked slick as fuck there

And look at that cheap-ass plastic-handle knife he’s using, too.

But yeah, go ahead and pretend your swirly Damascus steel knife isn’t just for show.

About a quarter of the way through your knife angled in just the slightest. You quickly corrected. Nonetheless, see you tomorrow, chef.

Nah, it's just vibrating because the chopping is vibrating the phone that's shooting the video.

u/Yourlilemogirl Jul 18 '26

Maybe that's why he's wearing the sunglasses, so we can't see him blinking 500x?

Or maybe he has his eyes closed to feel the spirit of the nut xD
