Please donโ€™t think Iโ€™m here to complain about rizz or skibidi toilet etc. Thats all fine by me.

The term I dislike strongly is โ€˜eeehโ€™ before you make a statement disagreeing with someone. (This is over text only). Now maybe Iโ€™ve been pavloved bc itโ€™s always used by someone disagreeing. But Iโ€™m happy with people disagreeing with me normally its just the โ€˜eeehโ€™ or โ€˜ermโ€™ that annoys me.

So whatโ€™s a random term that annoys you?

PS. Saying โ€œeeeh actually โ€˜eehโ€™ is a perfectly fine termโ€ would be a ridiculously easy joke and I will judge you for making it. And I know atleast one person will. Especially bow that Iโ€™ve said all this.

The entire way recipes are written is trash.

โ€œAdd the flour and stir gentlyโ€: How much flour? Why do I have to scroll back up to check?!

Normally, portioning out the ingredients would be the first step of the process and is all done at once.

How many tablespoons do you think I own?

Probably not normally, but ideally. I doubt mise en place is all that common in most homes.

It makes sense to have the ingredients first for making a shopping list and prepping. However, I do agree, with recipes being online, it should be a small task to include the quantity in the description too, even if it is adjustable for different servings.

Because the amounts can vary based on the number of servings, but the method doesnโ€™t.

Iโ€™m doubling the amounts anyway, just give them to me in-line!

As much as I despise the fat-tongued mockney, Jamie Oliverโ€™s website is the only one Iโ€™ve seen that has the ingredients and method on two tabs so you can flick between them

Dunno why theyโ€™re not all like that
