I Hate That People Don't Know What "Gnocchi" Is

[[deleted user]]

So apparently "gnocchi" created quite a kerfuffle at the office cafeteria early today. Gnocchi, with your choice of vegetables and chicken or shrimp was the special of the day, but fuck me if people didn't act like a bunch of 4-year-olds who refuse to eat broccoli.

"What's 'gunochee?' I ain't gonna eat nuthin' I can't pronounce."

You won't eat gnocchi, which is FUCKING DELICIOUS, but you'll eat dry-assed pork barbeque and some gross-looking cheeseburger that's been sitting under a hot lamp for hours?

Fucking philistines.

My mom's gnocchi kicked ass and took names. The prepackaged gnocchi is better than none at all, but just doesn't stack up.

Not a lot of people willing to eat anything else besides fried bologna sandwiches and 3-day-old pizza.

[Eh?Eh!]

I tried making gnocchi once. It melted in the water when I tried to boil it and I had watery potato soup. I lack the Italian touch.

[[deleted user]]

Nothing wrong with watery potato soup.

[Eh?Eh!]

All the effort though....I did it for the gnocchi

[[deleted user]]

STOP THAT. YOU STOP THAT RIGHT NOW, YOU HEAR ME!

[Eh?Eh!]

Stop what?

[[deleted user]]

Fucking Fred Durst, man.

[Eh?Eh!]

Who?

[[deleted user]]

Okay, Eh! I surrender.

[Eh?Eh!]

Were we fighting?

What's "Gnocchi?"

[[deleted user]]

Potato dumplingish pasta. Yum.

[Tom]

Oh. Looks better than the "chicken with brown stuff on it" they served at my office caf.

[[deleted user]]

I'm not going to ask what that "brown stuff" was.

Hell, I may not even ask if that was "chicken."

[Tom]

I didn't either, and went with the pizza. It was greasy and soggy, but at least it was a known commodity.

My office doesn't have a cafeteria but if it did I think I would hate it.

Cafeterias are just done wrong in the US. A French or Italian cafeteria produces deliciousness. We produce slop.
