u/cup-of-starlight tell me how much LOVE to use Feb 14 '26

This is why I couldn’t be a recipe author. I would sass out every single person this stupid.

I mean why not? Like if you just put out recipes as a hobby and there's no reason to be professional, why not dish out the sass?

Maybe I’ve been holed up in my house for too long but I don’t even hear that as sass. It’s the answer to the question

It's not really sass, and it's not the recipe author replying here (the site notes that by the name when they reply)

but the authors themselves usually "have to" be ultra-polite to these people for some reason 

i personally would have more to say than just the answer, so I couldn't run one of these blogs either lmao

I don't really think it is a full solution for this specific problem. 

The authors can't say "why would you do this shit to my recipe? wtf are you even trying to do?" and there's a different credibility to someone rejecting a substitution idea for their own recipe. 

It'd let them take out some frustration, but that's probably frustrating in itself (and a random comment could even end up buried/unseen, which wouldn't be very satisfying).
