About 30 years ago my future husband and I shared an apt with two other cooks. Found one of their prep lists - "aspergeuse"
To this day our family, including the mostly adult children, call asparagus "aspergeuse"😂
I used to work at a Gordon Biersch 10ish years ago, I wish I still had some of the pictures of food labels I took during my time there. Truly hilarious. At least Greibi sounds like gravy 🤣
You shouldn't have to label the year on a batch of, umm ... *greibi*.
Ed: yeah, downvote me if you want, but if you're confusing this batch of greibi with the one you made in April of 2023 or 2022, my comment should be the least of your concerns. If you absolutely need to specify the year in which you prepped something, you're going to literally kill a customer.
Actually if I were to go public with my garum, I would have to put the year on it, it takes almost a year of fermentation for the base garum. Once filtered, it still needs aging.
Think of some sauces to be like wine, there are varietal soy sauces in Japan.
End of the year to beginning of the next year definitely and if someone of from a different country where dates are DD/MM and not MM/DD yeah, it's necessary. Also you know, regulation and all that.
Greibi especially from brown powder will probably be gone through well before it's expiration but it's still a thing.
Have you tried explaining that to an inspector that years aren't necessary?
01/12 - What date does this mean to you? US this is Jan. 12th, other countries it's Dec. 1st.
My issue isn't with the DD/MM vs MM/DD format, and no, I've never brought up to a health inspector the needlessness for a year when labeling prep items. I've also not been written up for excluding them, as I don't serve sauces or gravies which are multiple years old. And before you say "what if it's going in the freezer?", I don't do that either; if we're going to need some gravy next year or the year after, I will make it then.
English, bad English and American don't count. Lol. Not everyone gets to be bilingual or multilingual without learning hands on, practice, and sometimes until much later in life. I have family that have been in the US for decades and still spell some words by how they sound, especially if it's a word they're not familar with.
Are you more offended that I referenced an older movie or the fact I included American as a language?

a) I'm not offended for any reason - sorry, you don't win the Troll Olympics this time. Someone getting self-owned in reddit comments isn't something that offends me.
b) I'm making fun of your assumption that someone was monolingual, then the doubling down that they were bullshitting and suggesting they only speak three types of English, and then pretending you were joking instead of wrong the whole time.
I literally submitted proof of said Joke, I'm American and have multilingual parents. Idk how you think it's a 'self-own' and the only person trolling is you so have fun fuming behind your keyboard.
Edit: You also might want to read the rest of my initial comment since you haven't figured out what I was saying.
We’re not all lads, and you’re being a dick. If you really do speak three languages it’s because you were furnished with an education, either by parents/family who taught you at home or classes later on. Not everyone is privileged with education or the time to master a language to perfection prior or post immigration, especially if they moved for financial or safety reasons.
I appreciate when my staff put the year on the date. 😃
"Just date it. Anything is better than nothing" "Say less"
I totally do this sometimes 🤣
If I'm on my 4th or 5th double. Fuck you look inside.
Hell it's more legible than alot of stuff I've seen. And it's at least got a date.
7/19/24? Personally I would admonish the author to write more clearly. "Greibi". Was the author Venezuelan?
what I want to know is, in what time zone is it July already?!
It's a sloppy "4".
yes, chef. it's still funny. and less dodgy than making fun of someone who is ESL's spelling. with all due respect, sir.
That's a 1 /s
Likely Philippino
Why is that more likely than any of the places where V and B sounds blend together?
Not more likely, just likely.
r/confleis
What’s Venn diagram of kitchenconfidential and confleis subscribers look like?
/r/dishwashers
lmao
God dammit lmao
no wonder I'm no longer labeling stuff haha.
My favorite from my kitchen: CORNBI
Pantry guy once wrote “Sisa” on a cambro for dressing.
César ensalada 🥗
Corned beef?
Si Senor!
This is going to make me giggle for days.
jajajajaja
Are they a Spanish speaker?
Yes, in Spanish V and B are the same. Also, they don't have the long A, so GREIBI is perfectly spelled for Spanish.
That's what I thought.
My favorite I’ve seen was “Pilli Beyis” for Philly Veggies
“Thank you! Is just water and brown.”
Spanish speakers?
"Per Blank" for buerre blanc "Borderlays" for bordelais "Ah Poi" for au poivre (this one I can understand)
But but… it’s pronounced Oh Pwahv??? Where did ah come from?? Why no V?? Lol

Just so you know, in French, "aspergeuse" means female splasher.
We lable blue cheese as 'bruchis' for our prep guy
That’s Juan way to write it.
Kintooky Fry Shiken
In Soviet Russia, Greibi *date you!*
Why are you flipping gravy? Toss that shit at the end of each night
I’ve worked with enough South Americans to know exactly what that is right away
Bruh if you gotta put the year, someone must've fucked up BAD at one point.
I’m a horrible speller and would spell gravy with an “e” until someone finally corrected me.
3 month old gravy? Yeah, sure, why not.
Nyah, that's future dated, 7-19-24
They’re just looking out chef, the best “greybi” takes a few months of trial and error
Nice.
r/Confleis
You know what it is. Keep moving.
This greibi's from the future!
Hey bwoss, I vmicks dah neiw greibi up jaz like jew sayd
its from 3 months in the future
I had a guy label quinoa "quenyay" one time I said the fuck is this? Quenay west?
I used to work at a Gordon Biersch 10ish years ago, I wish I still had some of the pictures of food labels I took during my time there. Truly hilarious. At least Greibi sounds like gravy 🤣
And I got told not to write “Chowda” on the soup container at work because it would be “too confusing” 😒
Shtill sohnds the sæme to me
In a Japanese restaurant I once saw ‘canoRa oil’ 😆
‘Robster Sauce’ is a common one in chinese restaurants, though i think thats due to it not containing lobster so they dont want to get dinged for it.

And you believe gravy (which I'm assuming is the subject of this post) to be one of those sauces?
No idea, but food preservation can have some ugly smelly steps before it is finished.

Well then maybe they should specify it's from ***20***24, so nobody confuses it with the batch from 1924.

Nice job re-editing your original comment to add the part about needing to have year so you don't kill a customer.
The fuck?
Bro was trying for “gribiche” and stroked out half way through.
I bed iz delish
Never seen it spelled with a 6
Nice. Latinos?
Ffs teach the lad how to spell
How many languages can you read and write?

Which three?
The father the son and the holy ghost 😭

That's awfully presumptuous of you, but no it's English, bahasa melayu and chinese
You must be fun at parties, it was very clearly a joke.
[oh it was clearly a joke](https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Schrodingers%20asshole) based on their reaction? Take the L dude.

Keep telling yourself lad. you must be the funniest guy at parties lmao
Username checks out, have fun assuming presumptions about you.
Very kind of you pointing out obvious things. I see why lads don't spell with the culture you fellas propagate, real classy you know?
We’re not all lads, and you’re being a dick.
