      @semilianooo I don't think that weird at all. I was thinking more along the lines of cold pasta salads. I find that they usually have a strange, almost metallic taste. Bolagnase sauce would easily drown that flavor out. Even if someone does enjoy the flavor of cold pasta salads, that doesn't mean they're "weird." It just means they have different tastes than I do.

    I used to work at Olive Garden. All of the pasta you're eating there is cooked, chilled and reheated before service (except in rare cases when they run out of ready pasta and have to make more on the fly). This protocol is pretty commonplace in restaurants, actually.

    Pasta is supposed to be shocked in ice water anyways to prevent the pasta from continuing to cook after being removed from the stove. As such, it’s the sauce that you add to the pasta that should be served hot with cold noodles. Hopefully, this will slot well into the idea that reheating pasta will increase the resistive starches.

    • @pistincup352
      @pistincup352 Před 7 měsíci +1

      Like, who’ll do something like that. I like my pasta hot, and my sauce hot as well. Only when they both cool down and I’m eating leftovers will I ever decide to reheat it, even if it’s better for me to do what you just informed me. I can’t change my ways in a snap of a finger (trust me, I tried doing such with my laziness, and it always fails). Now that I’m ranting about this, I wonder how it tastes 🤔

      Never thought there'd be benefits to leftovers. Without even knowing about this science I've been in the habit lately of making large batches of pasta with the remainder to be used later. Might want to make pasta completely ahead of time now. Besides, while cold pasta with sauce isn't too great, some cold angle hair noodles by themselves are delicious, particularly if you added a bit of salt and olive oil to the water.

    Fun fact for people who aren't aware: most chain restaurants like Olive Garden and Corner Bakery actually already do this to their pasta. It is generally prepped in large quantities prior to lunch and dinner rushes and then stored chilled for longevity, then reheated before it is served. So they are actually already serving you healthier to eat pasta!

I worked line cook and prep cook at the same time, we'd warm up the food before opening the restaurant and prepare little things specifically for breakfast for the deli.

    Your intro reminded me of the first time the Unlimited bowl was offered at the Olive Garden nearest our home. I chose that as my birthday destination and ate hearty...
    But not as hearty as my uncle. Who got us kicked out because he ate beyond their unlisted limit. And he and the manager argued and got us tossed out. He had his dad (a lawyer) OFFICALLY mail the corporate office from his office, got an executive payment card (AKA anything he and 1 guest orders is on the house for life) as well as the bill (for over a dozen people) refunded and a handwritten apology from the manager (who was immediately fired) and the owner of that location. All that to avoid a lawsuit.

    3:49 - and this is why I don't get the "never ending pasta" at Olive Garden, and regularly take home leftovers. In fact, portion size, is why I pretty regularly take home leftovers from any restaurant. I have yet to find a non-fancy restaurant (gifted the fancy dining experience) in the U.S. with reasonable portion sizes. In fact, even the bougie restaurants have small portion sizes, but often have 3-4 dishes, which kind of ruins the point of small portions. U.S. portions are just insane.

    Food theory idea:
    Is taste objective and whether you like it subjective, or does everyone taste different foods differently?

      definitions at that level are not really concrete, but the best way to understand it is that we all taste the same things, but like different ones. What you taste and whether you like it in a way is really the same thing. We use the same mechanisms to distinguish tastes, but our brains interpret them differently. There isn't really even a shuch thing as taste: you like it to some degree, and your brain makes up different ways of liking things for different tastes

    Instead of using the meat sauce you find in stores, my mom created her own secret ingredient to replace the meat sauce (since me and my brother didn’t like the meat sauce). With the sauce she uses instead, we get our veggies in our bodies because of the sauce, but since the blender is MIA, we haven’t been getting those veggies, but once the blender is found, we’ll add that in immediately. My mom adds Carrots (for the color), Celery (for the taste) and Onions (even though we add Onion Powder, but I’m sure pure Onion helps with the taste). This alongside Sofrito, some spices (like Onion Powder) and Tomato Sauce all together makes the meat, and the pasta itself much more enjoyable to gulp down, even if we have the stomach capacity to have seconds. She later upgraded her secret recipe to include more spices to make it even better, which, we enjoy, but I was only really taught how to make the original recipe, and for some reason, I really want to add some Dorito Chips into the recipe for some reason, as a spice, make it into a powder (RIP Blender) and call it “Dorito Powder”. I wonder how many tablespoons or teaspoons would be in a normal, regular sized Dorito Bag if I put it into powder form. Until I am taught the full recipe of my mom’s secret recipe of her Tomato Sauce, I’ll just keep dreaming about using Dorito Powder, like that’ll ever happen. Anyways, now that I was talking about this, I’m gonna go and make myself some noodles. Just need to go and get 2 pounds of ground meat and Trio Italian so I can make this delicious pasta that I love so much

    This is amazing, because cold linguini Alfredo literally tastes better than when it's hot.
