Why is it that all black people put sugar in "Spaghetti"?
>>686184735
bump
Couls only imagine to make it less spicy
Wtf thay do that? I guess I'm not surprised they put hot sauce on everything
>>686185159
I thought niggers liked spicy soul food. And spaghetti isn't usually spicy
>>686184735
because it´s a reminder of what they slaved for
>>686184735
>sugar
>spaghetti
>my brain is full of fuck.
>>686184735
its pretty common to put sugar in something that has tomatoes in it, ya dinguses
>>686184906
>>686185159
>>686185219
>>686185323
Cotton?
>>686185390
up yours goober. nobody puts sugar in spaghetti. except niggers. but they don't count.
Sugar in spaghetti sauce is used to counteract the acidity of the tomatoes you fucking mongoloids. It's not a black thing, it's a cultured non-trailer park thing.
>>686185390
negative.
>>686185390
>ya dinguses
Too far bro.
sugar in a ragu will generally cut through the acidity of the tomatoes
but that image/this thread is dumb
>>686185528
Negative. You are retarded if you put sugar in spaghetti.
>>686185528
Now I wonder how black people know about this.
>>686185592
Negative. Tomatoes are good the way they are. Don't add sugar and ruin it.
>>686184735
woh i gotta try that
>>686185528
>sugar
>counteract acidity
You never into chemistry did you?
>>686184735
god please no. this cant be real
>>686185428
sugar daddies
>>686185390
I've been eating spaghetti my entire life and have never seen someone put sugar in it. I'm 27 and neither of my grandma's, my mom, sister, or sister in law have ever put sugar in spaghetti, your filthy swine
Anyway the important thing here is when we make "spaghetti" it's usually not spaghetti, nigger sugar or not. Is there an actual Italy fag in the house who can chime in on this shit? I'm not talking about you dumb asses from New York I'm talking actual Italian who lives in Italy.
>>686184735
Because they grew up on ketchup as tomato sauce, and ketchup is way sweeter so they need sugar to make it taste like they remember from childhood.
Ketchup is the poor mans tomato sauce.
>>686185817
kek
>>686185528
It's an hamplanet america thing, no one civilized does that. If you don't like the taste of tomatoes then don't eat them.
>>686185817
We're not cooking meth jackass, we're making pasta sauce. Ask any chef/Italian and they'll tell you the same thing.
>>686185528
>what are bell peppers
We dont do that...
>>686186257
Fucking delicious, that's what!
>>686186348
>>686186035
the concept of spaghetti (bolognese) is ridiculous to most italians. it's p much a british/american dish.
italians prepare a ragu and generally eat it with tagliatelle
>>686184735
You have to be really nigger to put sugar at spaghetti
>>686185323
KEK
>>686186448
Yeah after we fuck your daughters and ruin your " perfect " white genes
>>686186059
>Ketchup instead of tomato sauce
>>686184735
as a ukfag i am appalled by this.
>>686186163
Tomato sauce is supposed to be acidic.
If you are cooking for some faggot who can't take it then tell them you won't make ketchu for them when there is a bottle of it on the table. Alternately phglegm helps milden everything.
>>686184735
Cant speak for canned shit, but when using Plum Tomatoes for homemade sauces/curries they can be quite sour, particularly in late crops.
A pinch of sugar takes the edge off the tartness.
If you want another tip for bolognese, add instant coffee granules to the sauce. Sounds dodgy, but nice.
>>686186035
I can confirm, grandma is 100% Italian, moved to america. When she makes home made meat sauce she uses sugar. Its not only for taste, it dilutes the acidity of the sauce so it doesnt drown out the flavor of the meat and spaghetti.
>>686186493
What's a ragu?
In 'murica it's a brand of shitty store bought spaghetti sauce.
>>686186010
well clearly you need to beat them all since none of them know how to fucking cook, you cocksucker. Don't fucking drown the spaghetti like in OPs pic add a fucking pinch, I guaranfuckingtee if you check any fucking can of spaghetti sauce/bottle of prego or some shit it will have sugar you dumb cunt.
>>686185528
> Spaghetti
> Non-trailerpark
Pick one
ITT people that never had ketchup and have never cooked tomato sauce in their life.
>>686185817
Yeah let me just pour some NaOH into my spaghetti.
>>686186898
it's just a meat based sauce. usually contains some form of meat (pork/beef) then a mix of veg (garlic/onions/tomatoes/celery/carrot/etc).
no real definition but it makes sense some shit brand would capitalise on it.
>>686186904
so will practically any sauce so thats a bad argument
>>686186010
>>686185159
>>686185219
>>686185286
like this fag said (>>686185390), you put sugar in the base sauce (being tomato)
well i never agreed with it. spag bol is savoury so i see zero point adding something sweet
>>686184735
I add sugar to my sauce as it heats along with many other spices. It balances out the flavor.
Dumping sugar directly onto a plate of spaghetti is fucking niggerish though.
>>686187201
Don't forget the HCl. Gotta season the sauce.
Stupid low level faggots. Spaghetti sauce has sugar already in it when you buy it.
>>686184735
I'm black and literally no one i know does that.
>>686186904
Yeah the sauce, which already contains sugar.
unless you're making the shit from scratch, in which case you'll have the sugar added before it reaches your plate.
1/10
>>686184735
White guy from Sweden here. Some sweetness hightens the taste. I usually put just a little bit of honey in my spaghetti sauce.
>>686184735
a pinch of sugar is ok in the tomato sauce (not on the pasta) to make it less acidic if you are making the salsa at home, but you should not be able to taste it.
I've been to Italy quite a few times, from taste they make their tomato sauce the same way we do here in Bosnia: fry up onions in olive oil, add meat and garlic, add tomatoes (small cubes or pureed,) spices, maybe a little bit of eggplant or bell peppers, add water, let reduce.
>>686187465
>buying spaghetti sauce
So many Sicilian gravy plebs in this thread.

>make homemade bolognese spagooter

>why not use different tomatoes if you want it sweeter
Half black here. Wtf. Ive never seen this. But ive seen fried chicken spaghetti. Thats a thing apparently.
>>686186708
Fuck off niglet
>>686184735
the only reason you should put sugar into tomato sauce is to cut the natural bitterness of cooked tomatoes. and it should just be enough to do that not make it "sweet". First off canned tomato sauce(which is what that sauce is in the picture) already has more than enough sugar 95% of the time to do that. second that's way too much sugar anyway.
>>686184735
Sugar in spaghetti is a real thing.
Like chocolate-covered salty pretzels.
>>686187776
>this
>>686186493
Understood. Thanks /b/ro
>>686186778
>buying ketchup
I used to be like all of you sugar fags in here until I realized milk takes care of the tanginess without that weird taste that any amount of sugar adds to the sauce.
>>686185390
>>686185528
>>686187365
No, you put some sweet vegetables like carrot in tomato sauce. Lazy people put sugar in.
>>686188664
Wont lie. I use ketchup for hot dogs and for hashbrowns with tabasco.
>>686186876
Understood. Makes since but I'll tell you what: most of the people who do this shit use Ragu or other such b.s. which probably has more than enough sugar already.
>>686188741
>milk
Nigger, you're ruining the texture
>>686188778
This is a good tip most people don't know. I like to shred my carrots on a cheese grater before sautéing them with the rest of the vegetables.
>>686188741
>not using muscovado
>>686188973
A tablespoon ruins the texture?
>>686187477

>>686184735
I'm black and that shit is gross.
>>686185390
>tfw add basil and lime instead to cut the tomato acidity
>>686184735
you mean Sketti?
Sicilian checking in. This what poor retards do that don't have the money nor know how to make a decent sweet sauce. To their uncultured taste buds it's probably heaven on a plate, but to any actual Italian or someone who knows their sauce it's one small step up from putting ketchup on noodles.
Who the fuck does that
>>686185817
welcome to cooking faggot
>>686189457
I figured it was something like this.
>>686186035
italian here.
every kind of pasta is suited for different sauces.
I am a lazy bastard so often I just buy spaghetti and penne, and whatever pasta recipe i do i just use the most fitting of those.
sure if i am having some fancy dinner with friends i'd use the right pasta, but for myself i just keep a long and a short pack in my cupboard and i'm fine whatever i do.
not everyone is a pasta nazi.
>>686184735
they WHAT?
>>686189180
Yes
>>686184735
Same time this popped up on my feed... Gabriel?
>>686189475
I've never cooked faggot and I never will. But I have been cooking spaghetti for about 15 years and I've never felt it was so acidic that it needed anything added to it, let alone sugar. And yes I mean homemade spaghetti, not store bought.
>>686189031
Nah man i dont trust /b/ with anything anymore since I tried making crystals... I had to shit into a fucking can.
have you retards never seen the godfather? they put sugar in the sauce in a scene faggots.
Because it goes well with grape soda?
>>686189814
then you know shit about cooking. dont you start your sauces with sweating some onions or carrots? thats for the sweeteness.
>>686185528
>tomato
>acidic
what kind of tomatoes are you buying that you need to put sugar with them to counteract the pretty much non existent acidity
>>686187744
i don't add water to the sauce, the passata is usually watery enough
>>686186035
As a sauce chef in on of restaurants in Eu all i can say that i add one tbs sugar to bolognese sauce to round up the taste a bit. Sometimes a use a tiny bit of real deal bee syrup.
>>686190040
B-b-but there's no sugar in carrots or onions, right?
>>686189801
Yep it's me, Gabriel.
>>686190074
how terrible are your tastebuds that they dont detect acidity of tomatoes?
>>686186010
give me your sister number you fucking gook
>>686186163
>Ask any chef/Italian and they'll tell you the same thing.
If you see a fucking italian chef put sugar in their pasta sauce, run the fuck away from their restaurant
>>686184735

as in honey?
>>686189801
And you should send me nudes to Gabriel. Which is me.
>>686190040
>didn't get the joke
I said I've never cooked faggot. As in, cooking a faggot.
Yes that's how I start my sauce and yes it makes it sweet enough to not need sugar.
>>686190074
Is just poor faggots that use ketchup in spaghetti. Gets em used to the sweet. Anyone that's not an ignorant retard should know you can cook the acidity out of the tomato sauce just by adding veggies/meats and simmering for longer.
>>686190153
every plant contains some amount of sugar

Nice b8 nigger. Go eat your chitlins and collard greens somewhere else.

And no, sugar in pasta sauce is fucking retarded.
>>686190567
>Hasnt seen one shitty meme
>NEWFAG REEEEEEE
>>686190137
In what quantity of sauce are you adding 1tbs of sugar?
>>686185390
Sometimes a pinch for tomato acidity. Don't shoot for candied sauce
It is acceptable to add a pinch, but only a small pinch, to a particular tomato sauce if and only if it turns out way too acid. One should not add more than a pinch, and you shouldn't add it anyhow "by default" without even testing if the sauce in question needs it.
If you just go sprinkling sugar like a moron you're going to ruin it.
Source: My mother - she is italian. She has sometimes had to do it with particularly acid tomato batches. It is supposedly common knowledge.
Funny story: The first time she cooked for my father she did this but added way too much and ruined it. They still laugh about it sometimes.
>>686190344
i didnt even mention your fb tier joke, you claimed that you have never felt the need to balance acidity in pasta dishes and i reminded you that everyone does it all the time.
>>686184735
Never heard or seen a black person do this
>>686190858
It wasnt even a meme. Calm ur tits, Honey.
You guys are fucking idiots. Sugar goes a long way in a tomato based sauce. Especially when other sweet vegetables are included.
Nobody puts sugar on spaghetti.
As a nigger myself, I don't. That sounds kind of nasty tbh.
>>686184735
It could just be an american thing. So far as I know pasta sauce is meant to be somewhat savory
>>686191168

what the fuck man, the only thing you should put sugar in is cake and other desserts
>>686191308
You've clearly never made a decent tomato sauce from scratch
>>686185159
Nigga why is your Spaghetti spicy? Also do you even know how that shit works? Sugar doesn't even do that.
>>686190975
I dunno the exact numbers. But its approx one person meal. It varietes tho...depends on how sour the tomatoes are.

Nigger reporting in here. I've never heard of this either.
>>686191435
This is the most random fucking place in the world for you to make that comment, but you're totally right. You don't add some sugar, and brother, you've got a bitter mess going!
>>686189214
Probably stolen
>>686185390
It already has sugar in it 99% of the time. And if you make it homemade, you add a small amount of sugar but that's it. It's not spaghetti and ketchup.
>>686191525
I dub thee Knight of the Boyardee for giving us your useless speghetti'os information.
>>686191376
>only thing you should put sugar in is cake and other desserts
i bet spaghetti is the only dish you can make yourself excluding sandwiches
>>686188778
grate up carrots, onions. crush garlic + salt & pepper and confit (boil in olive oil) add tomato paste and/or canned tomato and then stir until cooked then pour into pan with meat
easy
The sugar goes when making the sauce, not in the spaghetti, and its just a bit to make the sauce not be that much acid.
>>686186257
>a dominating flavor that has little place in quality food.
>>686191326
Actually Netherlands. Didnt want to tire your americunts brain since everyone knows that geography aint your strong side. Also...fuck all the traditional coocking purists. Theres progress on every aspect of our life , even our cuisine.
>>686190244
True
>>686184735
JUST USE SOME RED WINE YOU DIRTY NIGGERS!
>>686191484

So that they can get their diabeetus as fast as possible
Is that good?
>>686184735
Because all the store bought spaghetti sauces have sugar in them and a lot of recipes actually call for a little bit of sugar. Now that pic is just far too much.
>>686191906
Jeepers what kind of stuff are you drinking to think red wine is sweet?
as a fem-nig i don't add sugar to spaghetti 1. eww 2. sugars bad for the kids 3. aint nobody got time for that
fuck your bolognese, time for some good old shepherds pie
>>686188288
Yeah but that latter thing is amazing.
>>686186493

Tagliatelle Bolognesa is a form of Pasta dish that comes from Bologna Italy.
However the non-Italian version of the dish is much more tomato flavoured than the original.

>>686184735
woah man can you explain to me how you managed to infiltrate every nignog's kitchen and plant micro-cameras that allowed you to learn that EVERY black on the face of the planet that eats spaghetti adds sugar to it? Fucking stupid white dog-fucking snownigger bitch cumguzzling fuck whore.

That picture looks disgusting, but sugar can be used in making a good sauce
>>686192081
Son, don't even start. I know my wines, and what you have just said makes you seem immensely retarded. Not to mention ALL alcohol has sugar in it, and if you reduce it enough, the sweetness comes out.
>>686184735
What the fuck ?? Do niggers really do that??
>>686184735
Because niggers are self-defeating idiots who ignorantly eat shitty, unhealthy foods. Well niggers and Southern people. Both share a low level of intelligence as ethnic/social groups.
>>686192026
Who in their right mind would buy prepared spaghetti sauce??
Oh and btw, the only reason that there is sugar in that is because
1) Sugar is really cheap, so you can dilute foodproducts to save money
2) Sugar adds a little bit of sweetness which our brains just love
>>686192538
The do it to everything.
They think it's what cooking is.

It's common to add a small amount of sugar to tomato sauce... not the amount in the OP though.. they're just fat fucks.
>>686192696

>>686185428

>>686192438
almost all organic compounds have sugar in them. That doesn't mean that that is their primary flavour. Are you telling me that you're going to reduce the wine and then add it to the sauce? Because otherwise, good luck reducing it to sugar while keeping your sauce a sauce.
Also, being an alcoholic doesn't make you smart. Just a little sad
>>686184735
There's a special place in hell saved for people who put sugar on spaghetti. It's the same place that's saved for people who put bread, sugar, or cigarettes in the freezer. What kind of dingus wants to eat frozen bread?
>>686193005

>>686193099
Frozen bread makes sense if you live in a remote area and can't visit a store too often.
>>686184735
Putting super in tomato sauce helps break down the acids and thicken it up. The picture is pretty extreme, but putting super in chilly and spaghetti sauce typically thickens it and makes it more creamy. Not a night night thing
>>686192852

We're talking non Icelandic conditions of course. Regular people who live 50 feet from a groceries store putting bread in the freezer. Then like it's not stupid enough they take it out and wait for it to defrost before they use it. Why wouldn't you just leave it out if you didn't want frozen bread?

>>686193751
Well personally I don't go through a whole loaf in time so freezing is the best option.
Of course I'm not talking about american sugar bread with it's insane levels of preservatives.
Pro tip; put some fruit jam in your curry. Absolutely lovely, it adds sweetness, balances the dry tasting spices. Also add a sharp fruit jelly to poultry gravy for a delicious rich sauce.

Most supermarkets sell bread that goes moldy in a week or so in Norway, due to all natural ingredients. I live in a one-person household and don't care about wasting food, so I freeze all the bread I use in portion sized bags. It's just common sense.

Sugar takes out the bitterness and heartburn that you get from eating spaghetti. Not black, just like to cook and learned this lesson years ago.
>>686193693
This isn't even remotely true. Many red wines are sweet, and just as many white wines are dry. Holy shit.
>>686194786
Really depends on what type of bread you prefer.
>>686194819
You get heartburn from spaghetti? The fuck were you doing to your sauce to make it that acidic?

I get where you guys are coming from. I just never take more than a couple of days to go through a loaf of bread. It's usually never an issue of going bad and such. Just always seemed like one of those penny pinching techniques that was a little unnecessary.
>>686193751
It's better to put butter on if it's still frozen. You can use hard butter straight out of the fridge. Just scribble it all over the frozen slice like a big yellow crayon.
Build sandwich. Take to work. Bread defrosts but helps keep the whole thing cool. Winrar.
>>686195009
Depending on the type of tomatoes you use, it can be very acidic. Using Roma or Creole tomatoes make it taste better, but has lasting effects later on, thus the use of a little bit of sugar.
>>686195178
Problem i had with this was the it would freeze the tomatoes and cucumber and make them go to mush.
>>686192292
Only an autist would want as much sugar in anything.

Woah sry man. Its TEA SPOON not tablespoon. As i said im drunk and on my mobile. Mostly its half teaspoon. And i gotta add that tomatoes at my place are really shitty. Probbly they ve never seen the sunlight.
>>686195120
It's not just about penny pinching (though, for a Norwegian student, it definitely is), but also about not throwing away perfectly good food. Why eat half a loaf and throw it away, when you can just open up the freezer, pop it in the toaster and have fresh bread right away? It'll be as fresh as the day you got it and no worries about spoilage.

Learn to make store bought shit taste like homemade. Its not that hard, even with a bit of culinary experience you should be able to pull it off.
>>686195668
May as well, money doesn't grow on trees.
If you've got a freezer you can get some pretty good scores on fresh stuff. Remember best before dates are just that, it will be pretty good for a good while after.
If you can find a factory outlet for meat or poultry make it a priority. I hit Cargill Meats' factory outlet in Hereford once or twice a month and I can pick up McDonalds nuggets for £1/1.5kg, medium whole chickens for £1, other overstock or overrun contract portions for fire-sale prices. It's all cash you don't have to fork out, so do this rather than spending £4 on the same whole chicken in Morrison's. I usually get a few, keep a couple of whole ones and cut the rest into quarters for the freezer.
Everybody here who says not to put sugar in it is someone who buys it in a can.

>>686192026
>Because all the store bought spaghetti sauces have sugar in them
They make me feel fucking ill the amount of sugar they put in that shit. It shouldn't be sweet, it should be savoury from the flavours of the meat.

Personally, I just use a small amount of honey. Trying with and without, it makes the sauce more rounded. Putting sugar directly on your finished pasta is fucktard, though - as stated numerous times before.

>>686197115
While I aggree that it can be done, I still think it's a bad idea as store bought is usually filled with crap like concervatives, loads of sugar and colour/taste enhancers
>>686197740
Kek, don't eat that shit after midnight
>>686197285
Indeed.
Nobody has ever made a good meat sauce / ragu / ragout / bolognese without a few teaspoons of sugar and a dash of balsamic or cider vinegar. It works with the wine, the onions the mirepoix and the fatty bacon to add depth to the flavour.
>>686197595
Hmm that kinda makes sense. None of my sauces ever needed it though.
But that amount of sucrose straight on just makes me scared.
>>686184735
because alot of people dont make actual spaghetti they make bullsht that needs sugar. its supposed to be that you have the pasta and before u eat it put some god tier sauce in it.
>>686197144
Something that I want to do but have not got around to is to scavenge the garbage dumspters outside of food stores, the stuff they throw out is many times fully edible and completely fresh
>>686198024
because that pic is essentially candy coated spaghetti. Adding 1-2 tbs to the sauce is one thing. That bitch added a cup to the finished product.
>>686197916
It's that sweet/sour combo -it's a winner in so many dishes.
There should be a balance of it in fruit anyway, but tastes differ and and some tomatoes aren't much cop.
>>686198024
It's a fucking bait. Of course no one puts that amount of sugar in pasta sauce. But a bit of sugar and a tablespoon of wine vinegar makes the sauce go from okay to perfect right away.
Look at all these underage b&s, and man children that have no idea how to cook.
Stay classy 4chan. Better hope your mother never dies you fucking idiots. You can't live off top ramen, and kraft dinners.
Letting the sauce simmer for a bit or adding water and then reducing will help with acidity.
As will adding bell peppers/carrots/zucchini/eggplant.
As will bread crumbs
Some acidity has to be expected, if you can't take it stick to ketchup.
Also:
>all the fags that buy their pasta sauce and bemoan the cost of homemade.
Making pizza and pasta is very economical as long as you do it yourself, you can add basically anything you have left over (within reason). Pasta and pizza dough are cheap.
That the reason the zhabars invented those foods in the first place, they were dirt poor.
>>686198242
Good luck, and take my blessing with you if you do. It's criminal what they throw out. Mind out for security, try smaller shops like tesco metro, spar etc. Where the bins aren't in a locked compound.

>>686186163
Um nope. Can confirm thats bullshit.
niggers
>>686198526
As a chef, I don't add sugar in the sauce to counteract much acidity, the vegetables do that perfectly well on their own. I use sugar or honey to add a level og depth to the sauce, which is really noticeable in side-by-side comparisons. Honey, I've found, perfectly counteracts the acidity in wine, though, as well as layering the sauce.
>>686185390
its actually not you fucking retard
>>686198469
I'll make you proud anon, I tried making Yorkshire puddings and they came out a treat. Compared to the freezer ones they were brilliant. The recipe is dead simple, it's all in the method. It's down to thermodynamics more than culinary skill.
>>686198257
Did you ever see an authentic Pad Thai being made. Big fucking dollop of Palm sugar, big squeeze of lime, plus rice vinegar. As you say. Sweet & sour.
BY THE WAY
I like how we're all arguing about something completely subjective.
Everyone likes things to taste a dffferent way.
>>686198585
I don't live in a big city (about 37k ppl here) so that's not something I will ever have to worry about
>>686186010
it because you probably buy the your sauce in a jar rather than making it yourself. Most jarred tomato sauces already have some amount of sugar added in. Its really common practice with a tomato based sauce.
>>686198918
Hey, can you tell me the best way to learn how to put composed dishes together from random components instead of from recipes? Are there good books on that or something? It's a skill I'd really like to learn.
>>686198669
Good move, that should do the trick. Sweetcorn & tomatoes. My grandmother used to cook that with pork.
>>686199010
It's down to hot oil. And not opening the oven. So, yes. Thermodynamics.
>>686198980
It is, though.
>>686199020
I'm hungry now anon. Sounds delicious.
>>686199195
As a chef, I can already tell you off the bat that books won't help you. They only boil down to a pulp and is really hard to swallow. Very bland taste.
>>686198918
I also forgot to mention, if the sauce is too acidic, a bit of baking soda helps counteract it more than sugar does. It almost nulls the alkalinity and won't ruin other flavours.
>>686186493
Italian here. You're fulla shit.
>>686199195
>tactical cookery
Practice - try things out - figure out what kind of things you usually have around. Experiment.
Keep a good range of spices and dry stuff in like rice, pasta etc as that will increase your options without risking spoilage.

I'm actually getting ready to go to a shop nearby now for some after-midnight dumpster diving. Many times, I don't get anything, but every once in a while I get the motherload. It's saved me a couple of times from the humiliation of having to go ask people for money.
>>686199829
Interesting. I think my problem is that I'm afraid to experiment because I think it'll always go wrong. Is there some kind of progression to follow in building up from making simple dishes without recipes to doing more complex stuff? Are there books to teach regular people to invent dishes like chefs?

tomato sauce IS ketchup you gobblygoo
>>686199195
As not a chef, recipes are quite useful as a starting point. Find something online, make it once and figure out what you liked/didn't like about it. Then change it to make it better or move on to something else.
If you don't want to do recipes, then learn basic dish components. Learn to make a stock/broth, learn how to cook your meats well, learn how to prepare your vegetables in different ways. Then just start chucking shit together and working on different seasonings and ways of expanding the depth of flavour in your dishes.
Still not a chef, but I might have said something not retarded here
>>686200000
Just looking for the quads, nevermind.
>>686200242
Best thing to do I think is learn the basics, element by element, like how to roast meats, how to make a roux, basic sauces, seasoning, spices and how to use them, how to prepare and cook fish - get these first principles sorted and you'll be prepared for most occasions. I've got no training at all but I can get by well enough with almost any ingredients. For the rest there's Google.
>>686197566
the group of people that is online on this website and doesn't tell other people to put sugar in their spaghetti is buying it in a can
that tells us:
the person on that picture is not active on 4chan
(also you could argue that the people who tell others not to put sugar in their spaghetti are doing it anyway but they just tell people otherwise for whatever reason)
>>686200436
I just died a little.
Even if you're talking about how different nations name the processed tomato sauce you put on burgers and shit differently, goddamn that shit should not be in pasta
>>686200469
As a chef, you didn't say a lot retarded stuff. A good tip, find a butcher and ask for some various bones from chicken/calf. They'll give it to you for free and you can make yourself the best stock in town with just a few veggies and some elbow grease. Also, chucking shit together is my go-to method of making new dishes. Chucking shit that goes well together is definitely the way to go.
>>686185390
This. You put in a little bit of sugar, usually like a couple tablespoons at most per gallon of sauce, to neutralize the sour twang you get from the tomatoes. It's not very traditional but typical American spaghetti sauce is fairly removed from traditional bolognese anyway so fuck it.
>>686200436
> the same
nigger what
>>686201078
Again, sugar doesn't counteract the acidity, it masks it. The whole deal of getting rid of the acidity can easily be done with a teaspoon of baking soda. It eliminates it, which is better for people with heartburn. Although, sugar (or honey) works in layering the sauce and giving it more depth.
>>686185337
>this
And I'm black
>>686201291
Semantics.
>>686200242
I forgot to mention soups, holy shit. These are the ultimate leftover up-cycling thing. If you boil up your chicken carcass or pork bones, get the meat off and raise a nice stock, chop up some leftover vegetables, season and adjust - there's a couple of pints of top quality soup right there. And you can freeze it. Definitely learn about soups.

>>686201291
Yes, but the thing is that if you don't like/can't handle the natural acidity of tomatoes don't fucking eat tomato based food
>>686201590
Degenerate. Don't question the arrogant chef.
>>686200848
Basic skills first - that sounds like good advice. I'll have to write down a list of the basics and try to learn each one in a simple way I guess.
>>686201545
Oh, that's a great idea. I could do that after making a roast chicken. Thanks!
>>686201715
You've got to have a fucking chromaload in your brain. Go back to your cave.
>>686184735
I put a little sugar in my sauce (about 2 or 3 teaspoons for the whole pot) to compliment the acidity of the tomatoes and the red wine.
The only reason someone would put as much sugar in as in OP's pick is because they have plebeian tastes. A lot of poor urban blacks have shit taste because they're poor, grew up eating shit food and don't have access to fresh ingredients so they just make everything really sweet, hot, or fatty.
Southern blacks from the countryside don't do shit like this. They're still poor as fuck; but they know how to cook and they have access to fresh food.
>>686201715
Why is my comment a bad thing? It's just common sence, I enjoy the acidity of tomatoes so I eat tomato based foods
>>686184735
>all black people
Yes OP, surely ALL of them must do this.
>>686202105
oshit replied to the wrong one
>>686201886
there we go
>>686202173
It's not about those who can't handle it, it's about making a dish that tastes better. In some sauces/soups/etc acidity is key, but as for most tomato based sauces, there's no need for such an amount of acidity, not is it complimentary to the meat. The whole deal of adding sugar/honey/baking soda is to make it better. The way you typed it up, made it sound that people who don't like the acidity in sauce should stay away from tomatoes forever, hence the autist chromaload comment.

Lovely with roast pork.
You can add sugar but I like the sharp taste to contrast with the cattiness of the pork.

I personally use vegetables such as carrots or whatevs, but I use sugar to make it taste "deeper". Sugar definitely has a place in sauce making, but in moderate amounts.
