Burt Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I've heard that too many cooks are gonna spoil the stew. I argue that you can't have too many cooks, the stew will just get better and better. However, the quality of the stews alternate between good and bad. DISPROVE THIS.

Ms. Spam Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 One time, I was dating this guy and wanted to impress him with my awesome culinary skillz. So I wanted to make a pie. I had apples but after peeling and coring them I didn't have enough to fill the crust. I had pears though. So that went in. No brown sugar but I had caramels.Then i found a a box of chocolate covered almonds. Crunchy topping! And raisins. And rum went in. It was too much but we loved it. in this case it was not the cook but simply weirdness by Spam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowDog Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 The story behind the expression is you have a family of 5 people and each family member walks in the kitchen, sees the stew cooking, and thinks "I'll bet mom forgot to add salt" so they go over and put in some salt. Even mom can't remember if she added the salt so she adds some more. When they sit down to eat it, its horrible because it has too much salt in it. Point being, the more cooks you have, the more opportunities to have screwups due to nobody having all the necessary information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RelentlessMalice Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Too many cooks in a kitchen can and will be a problem, especially if they have similar personalities. Rather have each cook make the same dish and compare them and decide which one tastes the best and go with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evolence Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Where is the verifiable evidence that can be replicated through testing and/or observation? I demote this "theory" to a lowly hypothesis that has not even been tested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DANA-kin Skywalker Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 It depends on the stew, really. The number of cooks shouldn't affect the quality of the stew under most circumstances, because stews suck anyways. The only exception is beef stew, which is amazing.

Ryn Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Why do all the cooks have to make stew? There's plenty of other dishes and sides to make as well. And responsibilities can rotate for next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowDog Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 I think its because stews have to sit there ... stewing ... For so long. Gives more opportunities for amatuers to come along and fuck it up by thinking they're helping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacen123 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 While, If someone were to ask me if I was a god, by the Zeddemore decree, I would be obliged to say "yes". However, this case is far from that, leading my answer to be far away, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pong Messiah Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 The thing that makes Krawlie saddest about cooking up a stew: HIV dies above 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Fortunately, it is less sensitive to cold. Could potentially survive on a popsicle, provided there are enough human fluids already present for it to survive on. Never eat ice cream at Krawlie's house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
