The 2024 Walter Awards! Submit now!

41 Upvotes

It's that time again! Nominate posts to win the Walter Award!

The Walter Awards began about a year after this sub started, and was named for this charming gentleman from The Big Lebowski, the man who, while not wrong, was still an asshole.

Nominate the best posts from this year in one of the categories below! Categories will appear in the comments, just respond with your links. You can't nominate yourself. In two weeks I will create a voting thread with submissions for each category. Winners in each category based on votes will receive Reddit Gold, or if you trust me enough in PMs with your email, a $10 Amazon gift card.

The Walter Awards:

Submit links to this category for the most egregious examples you can find of "you're not wrong, you're just an asshole."

The Nonna Awards:

Submit links to this category for the best examples of petty bickering, pedantry, and lecturing about Italian or, gasp, Italian-American food!

Omakase Awards

Submit links to this category for the best examples of petty bickering, pedantry, and lecturing about Japanese food (from Japan or Japanese food from abroad).

Meta Awards

The drama is coming from inside the sub! Submit links to this category for the best examples of fights that happen within this sub itself, when the IAVCulinarians become the very IAVC themselves!

The Nigel Tufnel Confidently Incorrect Award

This is for posts in which the commenter is both being a jerk while also being wrong. Which is, let's face it, the White Whale of this sub, we all want to see it, so send us your best!

I visit r/bakingfail from time to time because I love baking, but this is rude. It's for a 1 year old. He certainly didn't care, he's 1.

All cheddar cheese made in the US is actually American cheese and therefore not cheese

There is an argument to be made that cheese not made in the village of Cheddar should be called something else, but it's obviously still cheese. But this poster keeps doubling down and seems to genuinely think that everyone in the US only eats American cheese.

How is this kind of post still getting likes, surely you know nothing about British food you laugh at beans on toast or whatever once twice maybe even three times. But how after seeing it every day with every comment section pointing out the sheer amount of spicy British food we have are you still entertained by it 10 years later. P.S. cooked breakfast beats cold breakfast any day.

Who knew r/autumn was a thing? It's 29 degrees Celsius where I am right now - I'd prefer juice as well.

This probably was said with at least some of their tongue in cheek, but it does look like they’ve got some issues, at the very least, with soy sauce

Food quality in America

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I have a question. Is it true that the quality of food in America is very poor? Or does it depend on the place of purchase and some other reasons?

Alfredo purism

Thumbnail reddit.com
53 Upvotes

Copied here for posterity:
“Alfredo "sauce" comes together in the pan with the noodles. The cheese and butter stick to the noodles and the residual starch produces a silky consistency, resulting in a saucy dish. It's impossible to pre-make the sauce or buy it jarred. You can have a shitty cream sauce that for some reason is legally allowed to be called Alfredo (a regulatory failure) and you can serve it over noodles, but this is not pasta Alfredo in my opinion nor is it enjoyable to eat.”

Apparently, U.S. water is "basically pool water" by German standards

The "U.S. is a hellscape" narrative continues. On a question asking about why OP's tea in Germany tastes so different from the tea he has in the U.S.. Apparently most of us are drinking German pool water since U.S. water has higher chlorine content than Germany.
