this maintenance guy who usually eats the vegan stuff and gives me precious compliments and praise asked what I put on the plaintains and I was like "cinnamon, nutmeg and sugar, roasted them and then drizzled a coconut syrup glaze on top" and then asked if he'd tried them and he was like "no, I was about to but I heard some of the kids talking about them"
and I'm like "oh what were they saying, anything good?" and he like, looked away, distant for a second, before being like "No." and I'm really wondering if these college kids were like haahahaha it looks like cum
thoughts?
Apparently the other cooks think frying the plantains is "bad for the oil" like they develop all these weird superstitions about what to fry/not fry in the deep fryer. I think they literally think the bit of soy sauce that comes off my 6-8Ib of marinated tofu when i fry fucks up the oil to a noticeable degree, which is absolute bullshit. They're frying literally hundreds of pounds of breaded chicken and seasoned potato products and I fucking guarantee all the rendered schmaltz and breading burning and shit contributes more to the oil degrading than my shit ever could especially when they leave crumbs and shit in there carbonizing for an entire shift
(Nobody needs to tell me it isn't exactly vegan to use the same deep fryer, i know, shhhh just don't think about it)
