Hoo boy. I didn't get through more than 10 minutes of this.
We were discussing it in the Discord, and, well. I'd have probably listened to an hour of Christopher and Adam talking about food if they'd done it as themselves, with the same kind of energy and enthusiasm and fun that they bring to The Letters Page. I think that's what we were expecting -- extended versions of the genuinely funny and interesting foody non-sequiturs that they go into during TLP.
I couldn't take more than 10 minutes of Chef Adam and Chef Christopher droning on in sleepy tones about ... honestly I don't remember any of those 10 minutes because I zoned out for 9 and a half of them. I think they mentioned pasta?
C+A, I do applaud you for trying something new and weird and experimenty. It's far easier to stay in the lane and not branch out, so you should be applauded for doing so.
But ... oy. This just didn't do it for me.
Not to worry! We are glad that we gave it a shot, but we're definitely not returning to this format. Just a weird experiment.
I listened until the gnocchi (20mn)
There is one thing I really enjoyed : The voices: so soothing, so relaxing.
But yeah, I misunderstood the whole topics: I though it would be a food 'SotM podcast'. Something non sensical and funny about which type of food Legacy enjoy, if coffee can make Tachyon even goes faster, does the Naturalist counts as a cannibal if he eats gazelle ... That sort of things.
And yeah, my interest in pasta in pretty non existent as long as I can eat them, and if there is cooking jokes, my knowledge is way too limited to understand them.
Out of curiosity : Pumpkin with Pasta ... Is that really a thing ?????
I guess it is a succes then: It was very weird. 
It is not unheard of, but Summer, Zuccini and Butternut Squashes are all more common.
Edit: And I'm glad I'm not the only one who didn't finish it. I'll give it a bit more of a go soon, but… yeah.
When I was listening to Christopher talk about hte food episode during the Legacy Supplmental, I thought "how bad can it be?"
…
I should know not to ask that question anymore.
Pumpkin is so bland and smooth, you can make it into pretty much anything. Pumpkin pasta sauce actually sounds pretty good to me. I think I may have even had it once, there's a bistro near me that likes to use pumpkin a lot. One of the less outrageous things I've gotten to so far (about 20 min). Recommending a pasta sauce only on the condition it not be eaten with semolina-based pasta (which is, like, 99% of all pasta) is just silly, though.
I didn't think it would be Sentinels-based, but I did think it would be an extension of the food-related non-sequiturs C&A go off on all the time. The question I asked was based on that assumption. Pretending to be gourmet chefs for an hour (a conceit that fell apart pretty much instantly) was... ambitious.
Honestly, I'd love to see Anthony Bourdain's reacton to this podcast.
I have a feeling it would be pretty amusing.
That was a thing that I spent an hour and change listening to.
It was worth it, though, for the "Pastry-Soup Spectrum" bit near the end. :D I mean, I had a few laughs, it wasn't that bad, but yeah, I was kind of expecting C&A to just talk about food like they tend to tangent to during the Letters Page. Oh well!
In all honesty, I thought that was a fun little episode. It gave us a glimpse into a different universe, and I always love that. :D
The one thing that sort of made me go "That just sounds terrible" was the idea for the bacon-cornbread-cheese Icing birthday cake...Yet I'm still morbidly curious enough to willing to give it a try. ;P
But! What happened to Chef Adam and Cheff Christopher after the episode ended? Did they cease to exist, like the strange warning told them they would? I hope they're okay! D:
Edit: Am I the only one so far that listened through the whole episode?
I listened to it all, but yeah, I was much more looking forward to “Christopher and Adam talk about food for an hour”, rather than the in character tomfoolery.
I actually submitted quite a few questions, none of which got answered, because they really didn’t fit the mold of the episode. In particular, I asked about their favourite gaming conventions in terms of food, as well as their ‘must have it’ spots at the various cons.
I'd almost suggest they do a not-in-character version of the foodcast someday, but I expect the idea has been thoroughly tainted now.
Hopefully future extrasodes will be more genuine. :B
I listen to the whole thing, mostly because of my question at the end. I laugh Hard at the start, I have listened to food podcast. But the joke died a bit 20 min into it, It came back where readying letters. You guys know enough to be able to talk about food but not at the level you were trying to do. I didn't hear measurements or going too far into specifics (I mean kinda but not specific stuff).
You can make anything into a pasta. Where it is good or easy is a different thing. I also didn't hear too many jokes or the characters going far into the deep end. Also, I like when Adam is a heal.
In the end, it was a funny joke that went on for too long.
Yeah, maybe a half hour was a better length to shoot for Christopher and Adam’s Delicious Dish.
Anyway, under no circumstances are matzah balls dumplings.
I listened to the whole thing. But I was working late and had it on in the background. Almost turned it off a few times though, but there were just enough little jokes strewn in that I kept it going. This is the first episode I’ll only listen to once though.
A+ on C&A’s dedication to their bit, but I would’ve enjoyed C&A talking about food a LOT more than I enjoyed the two chefs discussing it.
Pretty much any description I can find of Matzah Balls refer to them as a dumpling
It's the gnocchi debate all over again! D:
I think this qualifies as a sub-debate of gnocchi...
Though the classification thereof could be a debate in and of itself! The spiral never ends and by spiral I of course mean spiral pasta
Well, in this humble contributor’s opinion, having a filling is essential to being a dumpling, and also calling anything made of matzah a “dough” is really a…stretch.
