https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yin_Yang_fish

Yin Yang fish (Chinese: 陰陽魚, 糖醋活魚, 呼叫魚; also called dead-and-alive fish) is a dish which consists of an oil-fried whole fish (usually carp) whose head remains alive even after its body has been cooked. During preparation, the fish is scaled and gutted before its body is dipped into frying oil that its head is protected from. The fish is then covered in sauce and served on a plate.[1][2]

A restaurant in Chiayi, Taiwan sparked outrage when it began serving the dish in 2007, with a city official and members of the public criticizing the cruelty of the dish.[3] Following public outcry, the dish was subsequently removed from the menu.[4] A video of a dish in 2009 was condemned by the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals calling a video showcasing it "disgusting".[5]

dramatards did me real gud by recommending Indomie noodles (so delicious), so I'm looking for a good steak seasoning. I just use salt and pepper right now but I'm looking for a change.

I don't like Montreal seasoning SORRYYYYY so is there anything that's good to put on steak when cooking it?

Italian food is the most mid food out there

They are not the same person but that neighbor can cook.

Article about the mafia guy.

A convicted killer believed to belong to one of Italy’s most powerful mafia organisations has been discovered working as a pizza chef and arrested after nearly 17 years on the run.

Edgardo Greco, 63, is suspected of belonging to the notorious ’Ndrangheta, a mafia organisation in Calabria, southern Italy. Interpol said he was arrested on Thursday in the French city of Saint-Etienne, where he had at one point run an Italian restaurant under an alias, according to French prosecutors.

OP shares their version of a slowcooked Bolognese sauce which includes a controversial ingredient: black olives. Discussion is divided between enthusiasm and support for OP's innovation and those who are taking a stand to gatekeep traditional Bolognese, with OP telling the traditionalists to lighten up.

Notable comment threads:

Are those canned olives in a Bolognese?

Italians cringing so hard rn

That seems more like puttanesca, but ok

This guy thinking the “hot take” is the olives. There’s so much more going on here that bastardized the actual dish. This is the equivalent of throwing sweet baby rays and a piece of pork in a slow cooker and calling it barbecue.

Bonus material: OP bravely soldiers on by posting a cheeky update video of his innovative/sacrilegious slowcooked Bolognese sauce.

That's not Bolognese, that's a Ragu. What you're thinking of is a Ragu alla Bolognese which is a Ragu in the Bolognese style. This isn't in the Bolognese style, so can't be Bolognese.

Why insist on naming this a bolognese though? Just call it a tasty stew or a hearty soup and then we can avoid the pedantic comments altogether.

I know you keep insisting that it's a Bolognese, but that's clearly a stew. Bolognese is basically a sauce thickened with meat. What you have is clearly sauce with a bunch of stuff floating around inside of it.

Bro why you breathing so hard 😩

The OP: https://old.reddit.com/r/AccidentalRenaissance/comments/10uagqz/the_midnight_snack/

For those who don’t know, AR is a large sub that still manages to engage in a fair amount of gatekeeping to avoid heathens who don’t know their Caravaggio from their Vermeer.

Common critiques of a post include:

—Not Renaissance

—Not accidental (too obviously posed/staged)

One thing I love about SRD is the different forms the drama takes, so I’ll start by noting what amused me about this post. There’s not a LOT of back-and-forth here—the drama is more in the various camps the brief comments fall into.

Before we get into the delicious snacky tidbits, a formatting note: Since my formatting is challenged by being on mobile, I designate quote replies with — and note when the reply is by the OP.

THEME ONE: NOT ACCIDENTAL

n'est pas accidental.

Not accidental. Not a snack.

Accidental my ass

THEME TWO: THIS IS PRETENTIOUS AF

What on earth is this food?

Who the fuck cuts a lemon like that? Great photo.

I have absolutely no clue what snack OP is making. Why are there so many onions?

—The jar of what look like metal shavings has me most confused

—-Adding that much needed crunch

—OP: Just whatever was handy really. The metal shavings were in fact anchovies, and the onion was Tropea so it’s quite sweet.

Way too much effort for a midnight snack.

You may need to slap a whole fish somewhere in this to finish the scene. How about the empty counter on the top?

Who hurt you?

The longer I stare, the worse it gets.

Why would you cut a lemon the way you cut it? That causes me more grief than twenty 9/11's.

*And this brutal comment that prompted a reply from OP:

No one is going to address the single slice of wet bread? I mean the lemon is terrifying, but what the fuck happened to that bread?

—OP: It’s olive oil, buddy.

*And this gem guaranteed to piss off OP whether he’s correct or not:

Im gonna guess this was taken by a Brit. They eat like the Germans are still flying over, after all.

THEME THREE: I AM SOPHISTICATED ENOUGH TO RECOGNIZE OP’S SOPHISTICATION

A few embrace the snobbery by showing that unlike the other commenters, they are sophisticated enough to appreciate the OP’s impeccable taste in food, flooring, and knives, or by correctly guessing that OP is Italian. OP replies to some of these comments approvingly—SOMEBODY appreciates his exquisite taste:

OP you are the midnight snack.

I know Italy when I see it.

—All I can think is how Italian this entire picture is. Who else makes midnight snacks like this. Maybe Parisians.

I love those floors though, never find that in the US.

—OP: That’s right, Le Marche.

ITT: lots of peasants.

—OP: Indeed 😂

Classic Ikon spotted. Great knife!

Cibo eccellente. Bravo.

THEME FOUR: META

Finally, as the most awesome of desserts (dolci), is this meta humble-critique:

People are commenting on the content rather than the style.

My first thought was, "nailed it," especially the way the texture of the lemon pops against the board. Compare with Caravaggio's lemon here: https://drawpaintacademy.com/basket-of-fruit/

I'm less sure about the harshness of the shadows. Old masters liked to show off their skill by having diffuse shadows. They tend to stick the odd candle somewhere in the corner just for bragging rights. Casually like, "oh, doesn't your kitchen have three sources of light at odd angles? I thought everybody did these days."

Similarly, the de-focused light through the glass jar is a feature I don't really recall from anything classical. But I'm not any sort of scholar. I'm just a guy who has permanent neck pain from walking through too many museums.

Had to use sourdough bread since 0.5 lb beef doesn't fit on a normal bun.

Top-Down Order: bread, grilled chopped onions, grilled chopped jalapeños, shredded cheddar, seasoned beef, guacamole, Trader Joe's secret sauce, bread
