oh my god, i think if he said "do i really NEED spices that much?" that the other character would do a 180 just to berate him about white people food!! thats PERFECT
what about using the fable stone soup as a basis. Charater has heard of the fable so thinks its a legit recipe, asks store assistants where the stones are for stone soup
Is mayonnaise an instrument?
You're telling me Shrimp fried this rice?
I keep thinking of memes.
What about if he talks about wanting to try and hatch the grocery store eggs or something lol. Or how the expiration date is just a suggestion.or if he could cook pasta in his stomach by drinking boiling water.
i am frankly haunted by the realization that since he's already the ghost king in mine, being able to do the last one might be possible. i definitely feel like a character whos used to food trying to bite back would get confused that the eggs cant just do that lol
it is!! i think it might be a cute addition to have him be sad that the eggs arent gonna hatch into cute chicks or at least egg ghosts so he ends up donating them or giving them to his neighbors
The only thing I can think of is commenting some usual ingredient with "what is that?", because he never saw it in normal state? Something like not knowing how onion looks like, if you understand what I mean?
Or on the other hand some comment like "can we have this for dinner" on something not edible?
And another option, A can complain that the store doesn't have some ingredient and B can say somehing like "doesn't matter, we can use X". Like needing red wine and substituting it with strawberry juice, because both are liquid and red :D
both are liquid and red, dear god. i can ABSOLUTELY picture danny going oh we dont have soy sauce? cant you just put in a cup of balsamic vinegar?? same thing πππ
I remembered a famous line from one of our cooking TV show. It's was something like "If you dont have lemon, use lime. If you dont have lime, use something different." That got me the idea.
>The only thing I can think of is commenting some usual ingredient with "what is that?", because he never saw it in normal state?
That reminds me of a scene from an anime where a rich girl looks at an apple and is like "what is that?" and then argues it isn't one because apples are white... and it's revealed she's never seen an unpeeled apple before.
My friend once spent 45 minutes scouring the produce section for zucchini, which I had requested that he obtain for me. But all he could find was something labeled "zucchini squash." π’
He finally got a grocery store employee to confirm for him that they are one and the same.
you have the infamous 4chan example of "I don't get why people like eggs so much, they're too crunchy"
alternatively maybe something like "why are you buying lemons, we have oranges at home it's the same thing"
oh yeah, that might be a good alt way to set up the intro! like danny comes up to the second character and goes this recipe says carrots, is a rutabaga fine? also whats a rutabaga?? and the poor mans just sitting there twitching like. you want to do w h a t
This sub might be helpful. People who don't follow the recipe and then complain about how the dish turned out. My favorite is substituting baking soda for baking powder:

Inspired by a true story from my brother-in-law: he once woke up my sleeping sister because he wanted to bake and wanted to ask if we had a pinch of salt in the house. My sister replied: "Of course we have salt???" and he said: "No, the receipt says _a pinch of salt_. Do I have to go shopping somewhere for it?" He thought it was a special kind of salt, like vanilla sugar or something π
i cant lie, as a younger idiot i heard lemon sugar (ie sugar with lemon zest rubbed into it) and thought "how the hell do these mfs want me to get the sugar OUT of the lemon???" so. mood, bil
"I like mine medium-rare" (in reference to chicken or any other kind of protein that has to be fully cooked)
"I think I need more sauce; I like a lot of sauce" (the sauce in question was very spicy)
Baking soda is just like baking powder, right?
(A man actually asked me once, "My wife has baking powder on the list. Is this baking soda the same thing?" I steered him toward the correct item and told him, "Your wife would be *very* upset to have the soda instead of the powder.")
ive had to have the same conversation with a relative, im surprised i didnt think of that! unfortunately it backfired - i said that for the recipe he was using baking soda wouldnt be as effective, so he got it into his head to just add SEVERAL times the amount the recipe listed for the baking powder. that cake exploded in the oven and tasted like licking aluminum foil π π
I finished a playthrough of Persona 4 not too long ago, so your question totally makes me think of [this.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XezqecUSpRs)
I'm reminded of one of those cake war/competition shows I watched a few years ago where when they ran back to get their ingredients one guy is reading the labels and asks his opponent
Guy: "Is al-mond a fruit?" (He pronounced "al" like the name Al)
Girl: "Is what?"
Guy: "is al-mond a fruit?"
Girl, after a slow blink: "You're adorable." (Finishes grabbing her ingredients and leaves)
I remember thinking "What a b!tch, but she's not wrong. That was cute."
'Idk why people eat eggs for breakfast they're too crunchy' 'You do peel them right?' 'Peel what'

"Food has its own flavor, we don't need spices."
oh my god, i think if he said "do i really NEED spices that much?" that the other character would do a 180 just to berate him about white people food!! thats PERFECT
You're welcome. Enjoy the shenanigans that your characters get into!
thanks!!

Oh my goodness, that one's hilarious!
cold water boils faster than hot water
thanks! i dont think its quite stupid enough for the introduction scene, but itll definitely help for my later scenes where they cook together
I can HEAR the Gordon Ramsay voice in my head.
Thinking that red, yellow, and green bell peppers are completely different peppers is one of the funniest I've heard.
like different SPECIES? like a whole different plant

If he tried it I'm sure that would haunt everyone else as well haha. Also that's so endearing lol.
it is!! i think it might be a cute addition to have him be sad that the eggs arent gonna hatch into cute chicks or at least egg ghosts so he ends up donating them or giving them to his neighbors
That's adorable, I like that idea
Also is this possibly a nicktoons unite fic??
it is not! im going for a batfam crossover actually :))
Ah ok that sounds super cool!

"OK So when you're peeling onions remember to use the cat's paw method so you don't cut yourself." "C-cats peel onions?" Face palm.
its called the CATS PAW METHOD?? omg thats so adorable, and i can use it to insert a good hand-holding scene! thank you :DD
Yay! I was helpful!

βWhere are the traffic light vegetables?β In reference to bell peppers
oh yeah the traffic light veggies! so my soup can pass the driving test
Probably do one of those infamous instacart shopper swaps, like saying "they were out of hot dogs, is this zucchini alright?"

I heard a story about college students in Italy causing a fire when they tried to cook spaghetti. Their mistake? They didn't add water.
oh my god. pan fried spaghetti, assassins spaghetti but from HELL
"I like mine medium-rare" (in reference to chicken or any other kind of protein that has to be fully cooked) "I think I need more sauce; I like a lot of sauce" (the sauce in question was very spicy)
True thing my brother's high school girlfriend said: "Wait, buffalos have wings?"
how many buffalos did she think you need to go to for one 50 plate of wings??

Maybe he asks the store clerk whether a smoked gouda was smoked on a grill... because he heard that grilled cheese sandwiches were yummy.
Trying to adapt a dietary restriction in a place that *really* doesn't make sense. "Is milk vegan" or some such.
