I notice you hang out in rec.food.cooking where there are some
woeful food discussions and some people who haven't got the first
clue about how to cook but it's always good for a laugh.

Same as here with some who like to imply they're farmers.

Cooking isn't rocket science and is a lot like gardening.

Obviously for you horticulture and botany are not sciences.


Any way and any topic to disagree over is good for you. You obviously know
that "rocket science" in popular culture stands for things too complex and
difficult for the ordinary person to deal with but for the sake of having a
fight you must try to take it literally. Groan.

Take yourself to the local library and borrow a good basic cookery
book

Cooking from a book is like paint by numbers is art. Believe it or
not the worlds best cooks are totally illiterate... very few of the
cooks working in the finast restaurants graduated high school, and
most can't read or write a lick. Most highly skilled occupations
don't require one know how to read, that's why a skilled carpenter
only needs a blueprint to build a house... skilled machinists don't
need to know how to read, they build jet engines by refering to a
picture.

More provocative nonsense. Do you ever get tired of making stuff up just
to be able to disagree?

I'd no more want someone cooking my dinner by following a
recipe than undergo surgery by someone refering to an instruction
manual.

And once again you miss the point. The advice was how to get started not
how to become a top chef.

You're no more a farmer than a burger flipper is a cook. It's
easy to ascertain from reading Farm1's posts that he barely possesses
the literacy level of a 4th grader, and even though he is a functional
illiterate he has demonstrated no innate talents whatsoever.


More accumulated insults for no reason.

Great cooks are born with the talent, it cannot be learned.

At birth the Great Chef in The Sky reaches down and touches each one with
greatness like a larval bee that is given royal jelly. Yes they spring
forth from their mothers fully formed requiring no further experience or
knowledge. In this modern era they only go through apprenticeships and
years at tertiary education as a pretence. Throughout history none of them
ever studied under more experienced chefs nor read anything but Micky Mouse
strips in the Sunday papers.

And do notice that Nad R just wants to learn to cook, he says nothing about
becoming the next Escoffier.

Liberace
was not only one of the world's most renowned pianists he was also a
very accomplished cook, both innate talents, achieved both with no
formal education.

Entirely irrelevant.

Are you worried that if you are civil and reasonable that you will be
ignored? Inventing insults for strangers sure is a strange way to get
noticed.
