so i was looking at the wikipedia page for funnel cake. as you do.
which led me to related page zeppole. one of the many other desserts i like.

and im like 'haha, this funny little completely unsourced recipe shouldnt be here. i bet that's contentious.' and so of course, i checked the history, and it is.

our hero of the day, basilesm04, got into a small edit war trying to add this recipe in order to not 'fail this essay.'

love to imagine what happened here. i'm guessing they needed a source for the recipe so they just added it to wikipedia, and somehow that's stuck for over a year, because it's the wikipedia page for... fucking zeppoles.

(and not even italian-american style zeppoles, by the way; those are ABSENT, as the talk page has already noted. shoddy encylopedia!)

but then i noticed something about this recipe talk:

WIKIBOOKS COOKBOOK.

i dont give a shit about anything else anymore. delete every other fucking web site immediately. i need you to go onto wikibooks' cookbook and add more fucking recipes. i need every stew ever made to have an extremely detailed page. i need you to do this right now. go add your favorite recipe. in lavish detail. follow all the rules. right fucking now.

1 billion stews and beverages must exist on this web site. are you listening to m

wait is soup a stew or a stew a soup

GREAT NEWS
IT HAS DEFINITIONS
from https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Cookbook:Stew :

The line between stew and soup is often a thin one, but in general a stew's ingredients are cut in larger pieces, it is thicker, more likely to be eaten as the main course than as a starter dish and often contains cuts of meat that need longer cooking to become tender.

damn. i never knew this!

Huh, my definition would have said that a stew is often thinner. Co-sign otherwise though, good definition

Robot Face @robotface8/10/2023, 7:25 PM

I'd say the actual broth part of a stew is thinner, but the stew as a whole is "thicker" in the sense that it has a higher solids-to-liquids ratio. Whereas a soup might be thicker in that the liquid part could be creamy or thickened by pureed vegetables or something but solid chunks are likely more sparse.

ok, this is my new favourite website now

my favorite food-related wikipedia article is the toast sandwich.

my second favorite is the absolutely unhinged fool's gold loaf sandwich.

rose @rosieposie8/10/2023, 10:27 AM

This article is a good example of the wretched excesses of the man, which observers were well aware of during his life.

i love this. this food ABSOLUTELY should just be a 1-line footnote on another one, but through the sublime human need to gawk it is longer than some actual pages that deserve to exist. why are there so many sources about this one weird sandwich elvis ate. why was this "widely reported"??? furthermore i love that there's not one mention on this page that elvis died of heart failure at 42, like that one is just some beautiful little subtext left to the reader to piece together.

I feel a need for a term that is the wikicrawling equivalent of "environmental storytelling" in games.

Reading through the Comms logs I also had exactly the same !!!! Reaction. Definitely need to look at that one

I love how there's "hamburger" and then "double hamburger", which is just the same recipe
