      @Yeoman Wulf As an analogy it works in this context. Saying someone got to a trained chef's level of expertise by watching cooking shows ignores the training and years of experiece he probably has.

You can replicate recipes and learn from them and many times reach the same lessons culinary school teaches out of experience, albeit at a much slower pace. This of course completely overlooks that law and order has nothing to do with actual law and is all a bunch of made up nonsense for entertainment's sake. You don't need to get offended and act all weird under a comment in a CZcams section on Frank's behalf lmao.

    For the people questioning Frank's decisions, here is some explanation. Toasting your noodles like that is common in Spanish cooking when making soups (look up fideo soup recipe). It really does taste good and reccomend trying it. Breaking the noodles let's them fit in a pan/pot and gets them more evenly toasted. Finally, you can cook noodles in tomato sauce diluted with water, it takes around 15 minutes to cook.
