Message: [QUOTE="Clippy, post: 12385, member: 8560"] At the risk of veering slightly off-topic: My personal conspiracy theory is that it all started with cooking blogs. It's there that it happened first, at least in my experience. Instead of getting a list of ingredients and what to do with them (+maybe viable replacements for the stuff that might not be available everywhere) I get a tearjerker story of how the author has been cooking in various styles for a gazillion years and how a trip to India and discovering the recipe they are about to regale me with changed their spiritual life and made then ascend to a higher plane of culinary existence. It literally makes them so aroused now that they can cut diamonds with their genitals and now everyone who's read that will forever live with that mental image. No need to thank me, ladies and gents, for it was all for the greater purpose of delivering noodles that will make you cry ramen broth tears of joy that you will savour long after you're done eating. And then you finally get the recipe in about 4 terse sentences. [/QUOTE]
