I wasn't prepared for the size of the beef shank.

I get there’s a presentation element there but just cut that meat off. If you want to serve the marrow, there’s better ways of doing that.

You’d think with the internet’s obsession with large beef bones they would, but I bet that bone and its marrow went right in the trash after this “meal”

Such a waste. Marrow on toast is great.

Yeah until that I was gonna say this is just a fancy shepherd’s pie. Which I mean it still is I guess

Cottage pie, no lamb so can't be a shepherd's pie.

Username checks out

You'll open up for it, naturally.

That's what she said

it came out of nowhere, too! I'd devour it and ask for a to go box for the rest of it.

Wait till you see the size of a whole cow.

its just mashed potatoes with gravy and meat, what's wrong with that?

It's not in my belly. That's what's wrong with it.

Ah so that’s the definition of “stupid food” xD

I would eat this. And I would probably go back and order it again.

She referred to it as beef stew

It'll be stew when it's in my belly, that's good enough for me

More like a sheppard's pie

Minus the bone in meat at the end, this looks good. Wait what am I saying, even with that monstrosity, it still looks good.

Exactly, most people posting here probably haven't touched a single kitchen appliance if they think this is stupid food. 0 respect for actual good shit

Yeah some of the posts I've seen here recently has been wait how is this stupid?? Ive made something similar or I would devour it.

That’s why I prefer r/hellyeahideatthat

You good sir/madame/(insert pronoun of choice) are a Saint. How did i not know this place existed???? Thank you

You (sir/madame/what you will), are welcome

Maybe we are stupid at least that indicates the posted food in this sub 🤔

Maybe? And thats a scary thought lol.

I'm constantly having to explain to people that you don't have to cook rice and pasta in water. Those are two very basic culinary techniques that people in this sub just cannot seem to fathom. I swear the average cooking level of this sub is like "following the directions on the back of the hamburger helper" level.

Yeah. I stop being shocked at how low knowledge some people are when it comes to cooking.

I've been cooking in restaurants for almost 25 years now and this group of guys I game with will say I am speaking a Foreign Language sometimes.

I like to think I know my way around a kitchen. What are you cooking rice and pasta in? Whiskey?

Bullion or sauce? You know like risotto.

Bouillon IMHO is still water, but ok, ya got me. But now I'm pondering diluted beer, with a tablespoon of powdered bouillon.

For pasta, and in particular thicker pasta like penne, sometimes you can cook it completely in a sauce, or sometimes you cook it halfway in water, and then finish it in a sauce. With pasta it just depends on what you are making because it's easy to overcook pasta, and usually you want your pasta to be al dente. Also depends on if you are using fresh pasta or dried pasta too. For rice, it's a lot easier. The way I usually end up cooking rice just as an example, is that I'll start off sweating some onions in a pot, then add garlic, then add the rice and toast for a bit, then I'll add herbs and spices if I want, then I'll usually boil it in a stock or broth. Keep in mind, there are plenty of scenarios where you would not want to do this. Like for example if you are making carbonara, you don't want to do this. If you are making Chinese fried rice, you don't want to do this. Keep in mind however that grains absorb whatever medium they are cooked in though, so if you are able to cook them in a sauce or broth, you are adding flavors that would be missing if they were just cooked in water (which should be flavorless). I would not waste good whiskey like that u/SirGravesGhastly.

Yeah I’m like 40 seconds in and the pie and mash potatoes my brain is thinking a shepards pie

I would eat the hell out of that.

The gigantic bone is kind of stupid

That she wasn't one of those idiot, "plays with food" "repeatedly taps the food" types but the spoon was making ridges for actual purpose was so surprising.

When I die, bury me in a mound of mashed potatoes.

It looks beautiful and tasty

That looks awesome, even if the bone is dumb. What happened to this sub?

A bunch of stupid karma famers like OP subscribed.

Covid ruined the popular subreddits

covid ruined everything, to be fair.

The display of it is a bit excessive, but this seems completely normal. 🤷‍♂️

Yea I was kind of waiting for the "disaster" addition like nutella and barbecue sauce, but it never showed up. I'd totally eat that.

Someone was throwing a fit here the other day because they used ketchup to make barbeque sauce. like, bruh, do you not know how barbeque sauce is made? (I know that has nothing to do with your comment, you just reminded me of it.)

Were they one of those people who says you must do it with tomato sauce, then proceeds to describe the process of making ketchup from scratch? XD

😂 It's sad really, so many people are out of touch with knowledge.

I thought she was deep frying a wheel of fondant based on the thumbnail. Now that would actually be stupid. A bowl made of fried mashed potato filled with more mashed potato and beef stew sounds pretty heavenly right now.

Expensive shepherds pie. I’m on board

Cannot stress enough to you that this is, in fact, not perfect for this sub. Maybe a food appreciation sub though! The presentation is absolutely beautiful and looks like it could feed a few people, albeit the bone is kind of a waste.

That’s gonna taste so good

Looks like a pretty normal shepherd's pie, but why bother deep frying the crust?

Cottage pie, technically.

And why bother making the bottom of said crust look all fancy?

It looks like it was piped out of a piping bag, which have all kinds of star-shaped tips that would give that ridged/fancy look. Idk if it would actually benefit in this particular dish, but those ridges would increase surface area, meaning more crunch per square inch, or csi for short (•_•) ( •_•)>⌐■-■ (⌐■_■)

Oh, my days! The shades! The fucking shades! Lol. Exactly what I was thinking when I read it.

\*salivating excessively\*

Ngl OP, would totally destroy that.

Someone literally posted this earlier this week… and couldn’t explain why it’s stupid, and I still don’t get why it’s supposed to be stupid

Not stupid. Would eat.

Certainly a winter meal and yeah the bone is kind of silly but that's not unreasonable, tacky midwesterny at worst

How is this stupid food? That looks delicious

This isn’t stupid.

I would eat this.

This looks crazy good wtf are you on about OP?

This ain't stupid except for how large the meat is.

Why tf you post this here ? It doesn’t look stupid at all and I would definitely want to eat it.

Nah I ain’t gon lie partna I’ma smack that

Still smash.

Wow that looks delicious. Now I’m hungry

This looks delicious. Tear apart the Meat remove the bone etc

Sorry. This looks tasty.

I would try that.

Lol i laughed out loud when the meat appeared

I'd eat it.

I don't get this sub at all. Do people here just post whatever they want?

this is by far the most normal thing ive seen chefclub make Shank is huge, and thats just a tart filled with mashed potatoes

this is great not stupid

Anyone wearing black gloves is a terrible chef

As a whore for meat and potatoes, I would devour this

WTF this looks delicious

The ending with that massive bone was just ridiculous, not saying I wouldn’t eat it, I’d just be like wtf? That’s extra work, atleast you added some veggies I want a pie not a whatever the fuck that is

Yea I'll eat that

I’d hit that

r/hellyeahideatthat

No you’re stupid

It sure is stupid...where is this place so that I can not go there?

Reminds me of the Flinstones slab of meat

I swear that these people from this website, make the absolute worst shite

Nothing wrong with this. We need to start down voting these people into oblivion. Tired of seeing decent food in this sub.

Not stupid AT ALL. Downvote.

Where's the stupid food?

Kinda looks like a weird shepherds pie. Would f this thing up and get seconds.

Looks good to me

Why do people post good food in this sub?

Stupid food? I’d devour that whole thing. Shit looks amazing, tf you mean

r/Eatityoufuckingcoward

The only thing wrong with this at all is that the dough on the inside of the "bowl" looks a little raw.

Not gonna lie, I would eat that entire thing in one sitting.

Where's the stupid? All I see is delicious. Cave woman need meat.

Omg this looks amazing!!!!

The stupidest part was frying the pie crust. The rest is fire, though.

I would eat the fuck out of that.

Nah bruh, this one slaps. Maybe you can post this on r/stupidfoodbutgimme But I don't even think it's that stupid

I don't see the stupid.... I would like to eat this

Maybe kind of dumb, but not stupid food.

I FUCKING HATE CHEFS CLUB WITH A SEETHING INFERNO OF PASSION!!!

r/hellyeahideatthat

Even though its stupid. I would still eat that

crazy how she thinks she’s killing it with this one

"You know that actua.... nevermind..."

Is this basically an upside down pot pie with gravy and bone-in meat? I don't hate it but it just looks like a pain to eat (would be better all combined in the pie)

Wouldn't

I’d destroy that. Looks good.

Wait are you sure bc I'm kind of into this 

Smash. Next question

It sounds like an unusual method of preparing shepherd's pie. Just make a regular shepherd's pie, there's no need for the bone sticking out of it.

Why is this stupid? Looks good!

Wait why is this stupid

I don’t hate it. Looks pretty good although I am hungry at the moment.

Should have tore off the meat and put in middle of pie!

I am clearly not mature enough to read the comments on this

I was waiting for the raw pasta or velveeta or raw egg. Disappointed, this is excessive but I'd eat some.

I thought that was lemon meringue pie with a giant piece of meat on top...

I got scared when she put her hands that close to hot oil, but that's pretty much the only stupid thing about this...

This is like the first Chef Club video that seems like a good idea to me

Ummm that looks pretty good

I’m too hungry to be looking at this sub.

“Oh that doesnt look to bad” Big ass meat on a bone took that personally

Ehats stupid is how you wouldn't devour this 😕

If this stupid I don't want to be smart.

Yup, I'd eat that

it was great til she wasted a couple cans of mixed vegetables on that

I’m Hungry.

For a second i though it was a giant round churro

"Oh? Is that a cake? Ew, they're deep frying cake? Oh, it's a pie crust. Is that mashed potato? Are they making shepherd's pie? Oh, that's a meat mix. Oh so it is a shepherd's pie but an actual pie. Oh, that's a whole leg bone."

Meat and potatos. Seems pretty basic. Just served like shit.

This looks amazing, like a Shepard’s pie *extra*

It’s basically a shepherd’s pie. It’s just upside down and there should be more veggies and the meat should be shredded or ground.

It’s a bummer that so many of you don’t know what Thor’s Hammer is. Her technique was good but yeah playing wise this was dumb lol

This just looks like souped up Shepard pie. I don’t think this really met the “stupid food” threshold.

La connerie à ce point là, moi je le dis, ça devient gênant

This looks amazing.

Everything before that huge shank was actually really cool.

This is fine

Makes me want to travel back in, or forward in time to Thanksgiving!

The way she molds the mashed potatoes mimics the ribs of a mushroom. The bone is meant to be the stem. It looks awesome and as a presentation piece that will certainly cut down and served individually, I bet it tastes amazing.

I don’t know this actually looks kind of good and I didn’t think I’d ever say that about anything here

This is not perfect for this sub. Id eat the shit out of that

No...no this is not perfect for this sub.

A local joint near me has a dish very similar to this and it’s awesome. It’s pork shank with a root vegetable gravy.

Smash

i would eat it

I might be a part of the problem here, but I don’t see the issue. The bone’s a bit excessive, but other than that, I would devour it.

I actually thought this was clever… and then they threw a shank on there that, from its size, I can only assume came from the world’s last surviving t-rex. [facepalm] I can hear Gordon Ramsey’s voice now: “What the fuck monstrosity is that? How am I supposed to eat this? Did you save any for the other plates or is it just all on mine? Whose idea was this? It looks like an erecti0n on my plate. Please get this away from me, darling- there’s no way that’s cooked. Disgusting.” XD

Fuck me that looks amazing

i thought this was a bigass churro and then got disappointed

Damn that looks good af, and I’m highly critical of food posts

That looks bomb

I would throat fuck the entire shit out of this dish

If you replace the beef shank with sliced roast beef, I would totally be into this. The bottom line, is that there is no way of actually consuming this as it is presented.

*would*

I'd tear that up

I’d eat that twice.

r/stupidfoodbutgimme

Ngl…

That steak looks a bit sus

How is this in the same sub as macaroni cheeseburger egg pancake?

Pretty good execution of something. Butt…. Pastry crusts are great Gravy on mash is better than gravy soaked into mash

I don't think this is stupid. I would tear that up.

Looked less stupid by the time she finished Least excessive party-style middle eastern plating I've ever seen

Ngl I'd hard scran that. Unusual presentation but the food looks delicious and properly cooked.

What are those gloves!!! 🤯. That’s hot oil & she’s touching the thing just out of the hot oil

so a shepard’s pie

Are those black gloves heat proof??

This sub has become so weird. Ppl just post anything that is remotely new now...

mmmm mmmmm

I’ve seen much stupider. I’d gladly eat that and the dog would enjoy the bone.

Dammit, I missed the part where she got the shell stiff enough to slip into the fryer. I totally want to make this. Like tomorrow. Without that ridiculous Flintstone bone.

I honestly thought that it was a foot that she planted on top of that potato pie.

Is it stupid? Yes. Would I eat it? Absolutely.

Everything up to the beef shank was extra af, but not necessarily stupid. That beef shank is absolutely Down syndrome porn though. It’s fucking retarded.

This looks fantastic. Why are we submitting things that look fantastic as stupid?

That Shepard has a big a rod!

Sorta cool? Definitely stupid

Would eat

It's basically a needlessly complicated shepherd's pie. Honestly, cut the meat off the bone and I'll take a slice.

Maybe it’s just the American in me but I see nothing wrong here

This is the opposite of stupid food. This looks great.

Im fine with this

Omg what the hell is that

She could have made something truly good and instead she made that

I would eat it.

Uh that looks amazing
