Sneakeater Posted November 2, 2023 Author Share Posted November 2, 2023 She SURE fucking should. (Believe me, I know the words to "Roll Over Beethoven".) (Although I'll admit I initially learned them from The Beatles rather than Berry.) (See, Wu isn't the only one who needlessly admits ignorance of important things.)

mongo Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 12 hours ago, Wilfrid said: Her resume is good. The misstep as I said was not so much not knowing something basic as broadcasting that she had to Google it. How about “confit”? Should she know that without googling it? It’s French, it’s basic. yes, she should know "confit". it's a term that is far more prevalent, as a method of cooking and not just the name of a finished dish. not knowing it would suggest the editor-in-chief of eater does not eat out.

small h Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Remember when Amanda Hesser was super-amazed to discover skate, after she'd been writing about food for years and years? I do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GerryOlds2TheReturnofGerry Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 (edited) I'm an idiot and they let me write about food for years. But I did try to learn, and you better believe I never admitted when I had to Google things. I'm still Googling lots of things.

Wilfrid Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Mm, that's why I chose confit. Terms with similar functions, although I suspect confit is slightly better known than farci. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mongo Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 the point is you'll see the word "confit" on menus of all kinds of restaurants that have no pretension to being french. farci? not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MitchW Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 I definitely confit at home, but I rarely farci. If the failure to know what the word "farci" means on a French-ish menu means was the only issue, then it might be forgiven. But it's not the only symptom, it's the disease of shit food writing...and editing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
