Bottom post of the previous page:
I simply do not understand how people think that cooking needs to follow STRICT recipes to prepare food.Not everything is a cake (and even then there is a dazzling variety of cakes) how do you make something into a stew or broth? BOIL IT.
You can put almost anything in an oven and as long as it doesn't crisp and burn someone can eat it. Someone may not want to in actual life but we don't simulate a sense of taste.
Although that might be a good idea so we don't have absolute morons challenging the realism of chopping up vegetables or putting perfectly normal edible produce into boiling water.
Goofball cooking was more realistic than the recipe system and it had gummi bears the size of people. A perfectly possible thing considering the record holding gummi candy was half a metric ton but no buzzwords were spouted by ignorant sachet fed lard asses who couldn't imagine anything bigger than the tine candies that they buy in plastic bags to shovel down their throat so fast a similar mass probably forms in their gullet.
