Do you cook/create better food when you're hammered?
PeterL
to confess that they create better food when they're hammered.
What about the women?
To date (approx 38 years of cooking) I've never had a screwup when I've
cooked hammered. And have managed to create quite a few dishes that have
never been in recipe books...... or completely different takes on a set
recipe.

In other words, you get drunk and fuck everything up, but you're too
shitfaced to know the difference.

Didn't help Graham Kerr, remember the "Galloping Gourmet"?
I don't believe such claims of being a better cook when 'hammered'
though i suppose it depends on the definition of 'hammered'.
I used to think i could cook and drink but after sever incidents with
cutting myself i now no longer cook with even 1 drink in me, much less
being 'hammered'.
And that is to say nothing of the impairment to my sense of taste and
smell when under the influence.

They are delusional. My father was an alcoholic who swore that he did
everything better once he had a few drinks in him. He was full of crap.
Alcohol won't make you smarter, funnier, faster or more creative. It
just makes you THINK you are.
I enjoy a drink or two every now and then so I'm far from a teetotaler
and I don't care when other people drink as long as they don't puke on
my shoes or bitch when I accidentally step on their hand.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm, according to you, seems all the sober people eating the food I
produced after having a 'few' wouldn't know shit from clay then. So I think
I'll stick with the opinions of the people who actually know what I produce,
rather than someone who doesn't.
Just because you hate your alcoholic father, doesn't mean that anyone else
who *can* actually do something after a few drinks, is like him.
You need to build a bridge and get over it, and away from your father issues.

If you drink, and are a tad sloshed, you can keep it together pretty
good if you get your mind right. Most people sloshed, they turn into
'Arthur' and do not attempt self control.

LOL... re-read what you wrote. You didn't say cooking "after a few
drinks". You said that they claim to be more creative when they are
"HAMMERED". You seem to be back-pedaling a bit, there Pete. So what is
it... are you "cooking when you are hammered" like you first claimed...
or are you now cooking after only a "few drinks"?
People who claim they can do anything better after ingesting anything
more than a modest amount of alcohol are fooling themselves... and no
one else.
> You need to build a bridge and get over it, and away from your father issues.
Nope... you aren't even close but I'm not surprised you would try to
deflect the discussion with a personal attack. The old man died close
to 40 years ago and took his problems with him. I don't have problems
with drinking.... mine or yours or anyone else's.
The issue is people who say they "create better food when they are
hammered". As I said, they are delusional and are trying to justify
their problems with alcohol. Do these people say things like "I'm a
better driver drunk than most people are sober!"? Do they like to drink
while playing poker? If so, invite me over sometime for a friendly
game. I'll bring the beer.

One of my big concerns about deep fried turkey is that is so often done
by guys who have had a little too much to drink. Alcohol and hot oil
over a flame are a bad mixture.

But in answer to Peter's question, no, I really don't think so. My
cooking comes out either way independent of alcohol consumption...

HUH! cheese after Whisky ?
could not think of anything worse (if it was a decent drop of Whisky)
Anyway as to the original thread
medical evidence and other reliable research shows that
after any alcohol or other mind altering substance as well as fatigue
affects folks concentration as does Hypoxia
So I guess cooking in the Andes may be aq bit of a worry also unless
on O2
and who would want to have any oils and flame mixing with O2 anyway?

I do the knife prep *first*!!!
It's the flavourings and additions later on that I'm talking about.
BTW, I usually cut myself before I've even touched a drop of booze!!!
Have never done so after a few drinks.

I've watched the documentary that was made in the last couple of months of
his life, that he was waiting to watch on TV with a glass of wine and a
cigarette, when he died. It's worth watching if you remember him as fondly
as I do. It's pretty gritty though, he was a bit of a curmudgeon.

Back in the day when i was know to get rather tipsy it often happened
that a meal was desired after a few beers had been consumed.
After the 4th or 5th nasty cut due to drunken carelessness i stopped
doing that.
Curious thing, my preferred intoxicant "yerba buenna" also spoils food
for me.
Im just that weird. A couple of puffs of the good herb and my desire for
food ceases, it spoils my appetite. I will often get inspired by it but
it don't give me the proverbial appetite it is know for.

Yeah, I reckon he was. I was already interested in cooking before I watched
his programmes but he showed me that cooking wasn't all about hand-me-down
recipes and by-the-book obedience. He fanned the flames of my passion and
for that I will be forever grateful.

My mother was a full blown alcoholic by the time I was 10, that is
something children should not have to see. She would pull meat out of
the freezer one night, then cook it the next night or maybe the night
after that, if she was too hammered to cook. The meat would sit in an
empty sink, so it was not defrosted safely. It is a miracle none of us
died. She was actually a good cook, when she was sober.

Lest I forget. I was night cook at a British style pub in Edmonton.
When I went on shift, the two daytime cooks were already sloshed and
usually had a bottle of Harvey's Shooting sherry for me when I came
in. The nights went well even though I was fairly cut through most of
them. When the boss finally caught on that we did not need all of
this sherry for French Onion Soup, he made sure that we only got the
required amount. Then we got creative. The beer cooler was in the
kitchen, and we figured out how to drain 'Watney's' Beer out of the
keg. People, when faced with problems that seem insurmountable, dig
deep and most times they come up with a solution.

And who are you to say when some one is "hammered" or not??
I've known people who are quite "hammered" after a couple/few drinks.
I've also known people who can drink quite a lot and not be 'hammered'.
Hammered can also mean "getting a buzz on".
You seem stuck in a rut with your alcoholic fathers vision firmly
implanted in your brain.
As I stated, not everyone is like him.

And you personally know *everyone* in the world who drinks and cooks, and
have tasted *all* their food after they've partaken of some alcoholic
beverages, and deemed it shit.... otherwise you wouldn't be able to make
such a sweeping statement. Would you?
> Do these people say things like "I'm a

Dunno. Did your father say it often? Did he crash his car and kill himself
when he was drunk?
If we are going to have any drinks at home, the car stays in the garage.
If we're going out for drinks/dinner/party..... we take a taxi.
All of my friends do the same.

Knowing you, it'd be el'cheapo generic no label beer.
You seem to be that sort of person.
BTW, I rarely gamble, and if I do, it's never poker. Maybe some money on a
footy game, or a horse race (usually only once a year at Melbourne Cup,
but then again, I didn't even do that this year)..... and I've always said
there is only one certainty/certain thing in this world that I will put my
money on no matter what...... and that's me.

your belt, you can move on to other, more important things.

Not really.
A meal cooked with passion and love is always good.
You can take the simplist of meals/dishes, and make it great with a bit of
passion.
Case in point, last nights dinner was Red Wine beef casserole, with
roasted garlic mash (because the two are a match made in heaven!!), minted
peas with lightly steamed red capsicum dice in them, and some lightly
steamed (drumhead) cabbage chunks..... and some broccoli.
It scored me a 9&1/2 out of 10 :-)
Why?? Because I took care (and passion) with the flavours, and how the
veges were prepared and how long they were cooked for.
If you *care* about what you cook, all your meals will be good.

No. I'd just thrown it in my 'Outbox' to get around to it when I felt like

I see you have deliberately side steeped the questions I have asked, and
the points I have raised.
Keep tap-dancing away.

You have no right, nor expertise, nor experience to make that statement,
just like all your other statements.
Once you have had a meal at my place after I've cooked whilst having a
'few', *then* you can make an informed decision and have an opinion on the
matter.
Till then, you're just blowing hot air.

Yep, just keep tap dancing away from the subject, won't you?

Sure.... we understand. Really. We do.

Odd that you think that I am obliged to answer any questions from you.
I don't owe you an answer or anything else. I've noticed that when
people drink until they are "hammered", they seem to think they are more
important than they really are. Not that I'm saying that is your
problem... just a general observation.
>Yep, just keep tap dancing away from the subject, won't you?
The subject was settled to my satisfaction two weeks ago. Tonight, to
make you feel good and bring you up to date, I declared you the winner.
What part of that don't you understand? I've noticed that sometimes
when people are hammered they have trouble with reading comprehension.
Not that I'm saying that is your problem... just a general observation.
I'll make it simple for you:
Subject over. You win.
Congratulations!

Actually.......... no :-)
But even I was suprised by the intense flavours, and the great combinations
of flavours..... it's something I usually only ever produce when I'm
'hammered' ;-)
