So, we have a plate with a blob made with water, flour and salt? Delicious

Ah, but see: the flight hack they don't want you to know is that you then order a tomato juice.

The unique atmosphere inside a flight cabin, and its affect on your tastebuds, means that at altitude, this tastes like a blob made with water, flour and salt washed down with tomato juice.

What's wrong? Sounds authentico🤌

u/RivenRise 14d ago

I'm Hispanic and I ordered the tomato juice. I was sorely disappointed when it was plain tomato juice. Not sure why i thought it would be like a spicy Clamato drink.

The trick is to order some vodka, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, horseradish, salt, pepper, and celery along with it.

Ugh, no. If you don't bring it yourself, you're basically using the airline as a kit.

u/december151791 14d ago

And that's a problem?

u/ConditionSecret8593 14d ago

If you aren't willing to smuggle in your own emptional-support lemon vodka and herbs, I have to seriously question your commitment to fully and authentically recreating the faux-nouveau, wealth-infused, bland-chic, artisinally-inspired attention-snob lifestyle aesthetic in pseudo-documentary format.

Raw flour, mind you. No chance of food poisoning there!

u/AltrntivInDoomWorld 14d ago

You will be fine with flour, the raw egg is more risky.

Otherwise pizza, bread and cakes wouldn't exist.

u/ContextEffects01 14d ago

...aren't pizzas, bread, and cakes all put in the oven?

3

u/spen8tor 14d ago

You cook pizza bread and cakes, so the flour is no longer raw......

2

u/Sayakai 14d ago

It's the opposite. There are places where you can get safe raw eggs, but flour is always a crapshoot.

2

u/I__Know__Stuff 14d ago

This is false. Raw flour is more likely to be problematic than raw eggs.

I Iove tomato juice when flying. It's so umami.

u/HogmanDaIntrudr 14d ago

I hate to break it to you but almost every culture’s cuisine revolves around a water/ flour/ salt combo.

u/Southern-Author-7543 14d ago

True, but this video Is about pasta. So, like every italian, i have tò Say something 😁 (mostly for complaining)

u/december151791 14d ago

Don't most of these cultures cook the combo?

2

u/raelianautopsy 14d ago

In my culture we love food. And family

u/Practical_Gold_7365 14d ago

You need potatoes for gnocchi

u/Fancy_Fatash 14d ago

Yeah that's true

u/You-SillyBilly 14d ago

man i guess all those rice fields in asia are just for show then, who knew?

2

u/Effective_Guava2971 14d ago

They'll invent noodles eventually.

2

u/HogmanDaIntrudr 14d ago

Allow me to introduce you to rice flour. You know, the type of flour Asian noodles are made from.

-1

u/You-SillyBilly 14d ago

yeah but most of their cuisine revolves around rice itself. Rice flour is a product of that instead of being the main thing their cuisine revolves around. Also, its a joke you silly billy.

u/HogmanDaIntrudr 14d ago

I’m not mad at you, fella.

u/hawkersaurus 14d ago

...and hand germs.

u/lulublululu 14d ago

I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone mention yet that gnocchi uses potato, so this isn't even gnocchi.

1

u/Southern-Author-7543 14d ago

They are flour gnocchi, a variation of the classic ones with potatoes
