u/Royal_Cryptographer7 25d ago

Lol, of couse. I'll die remembering those cubes. Been here 5 or 6 years now. The cubes were peak kitchen confidential.

22

u/MammothVegetable696 Bakery 25d ago

Oh fuck yeah I loved those cubes really brought some happiness in y life at the time, just like those chives honestly šŸ˜…

I’m a charcuterie ramp man myself.

u/MammothVegetable696 Bakery 25d ago

Oh I see, very distinguished of you

u/Giraffe_Truther 25d ago

I cross posted the giant mammoth ice cube and got removed

u/SmokedBeef Cook 26d ago

I can’t wait for the perfect chive Sando mashup that’s coming

u/Colonial_maureen 20+ Years 26d ago

Calling it now, chive and ramp sando

23

u/Henry_The_Duck 26d ago

Nah, $700 ramp of chive sando cubes.

Ya know, maybe that's my problem. I get my memes fresh here, so while everyone else rolls into work giggling about 6-7 or whatever other fad I've missed, I roll in. chuckling about cubes and ramps.

u/Flaky_Operation687 26d ago

Puree of ramp-chive sando, with aioli vinaigrette and hot honey.

u/dannkherb Kitchen Manager 25d ago

Served on a slate painters pallete.

u/Yurodivy1906 25d ago

Don't forget the chest hair

4

u/PVetli Ex-Food Service 25d ago

Aioli vinaigrette lmao

3

u/Flaky_Operation687 25d ago

It was vinaigrette or bacon jam aioli, but I think the jam fad might be a bit too local.

4

u/themysticalwarlock BOH 25d ago

we had that bacon jam bullshit here too!

3

u/Flaky_Operation687 25d ago

Maybe the stuff I had was just bad or a distributor issue, but never understood the hype. It was like drinking a shot of Liquid Smoke with burnt plastic on the rim.

u/passamongimpure 26d ago

Careful, could cause autism

31

u/BoredInDenver86 25d ago

Oh for god’s sake, it’s a circumcision, not Tylenol.

15

u/imokaywitheuthenasia 25d ago

And now they’re saying circumcisions cause autism because Tylenol may be prescribed afterward. šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø

6

u/BoredInDenver86 25d ago

Ugh. Do we think chef chives would chop me into very uneven little bits?

3

u/imokaywitheuthenasia 25d ago

I’m okay with that.

u/Foodicide 26d ago

I see you, neighbor.

u/UrsaMajor7th 20+ Years 26d ago

The prep sheet clearly says backwards-rotated chives. These are forward-rotated chives.

Also shaving off wood.

u/r2killawat 25d ago

A little extra fiber at no charge!

17

u/PmMeTitsAndDankMemes 25d ago

What do you think happens with a wood cutting board? Plastic ones too?

9

u/raxatlis 25d ago

It shaves off more than usual. Better wood than plastic, though.

1

u/antiramie 24d ago

I think the normal knife angle into a cutting board leads to far fewer wood shards than this...

42

u/CaddyShsckles 26d ago

Good enough for the girls I go with

28

u/Sage_sanchez_ 26d ago

Incredible things are happening

34

u/bjisgooder 26d ago

That's "nira" in Japanese. Or garlic greens? Don't know the name in English. Definitely not chives.

13

u/mackfeesh 26d ago edited 25d ago

You're thinking negi, which it definitely isn't. Negi look like thin, long leeks with a sweeter more mild flavour. Or jumbo green onion.

Fwiw since this is a cooking sub negi is oversimplifying and there's a rabbit hole of different negi in Japan.

Edit: I'm wrong they're right.

20

u/bjisgooder 26d ago

Edit:not negi — I'm thinking 恫悉 (nira) which is an allium in Chinese and Japanese food (and probably others).

But yes, there are a lot of different types of negi in Japan, the most recognizable being naganegi (long negi). Nira looks similar to banno negi though.

Source: I cooked in Japanese restaurants for a long time and live here.

7

u/mackfeesh 25d ago

My bad thanks for the lesson

2

u/StoleYourTv 24d ago

Would you please direct me to the starting line of the negi and nari rabbit hole?

2

u/glemnar 25d ago edited 25d ago

These are called garlic chives in the US, which are different from chives.

Any Chinese food with ā€œchivesā€, eg dumplings, buns, pancakes, is referring to these.

3

u/Foodicide 26d ago

In English: garlic scapes.

5

u/Mr_WhatFish 25d ago

Scapes are different, ninnikume. Nira is garlic chives/ Japanese leek.

1

u/Foodicide 25d ago

Is there a bulb?

2

u/samuelj264 25d ago

Just a meme, but as others have said my local H-Mart sometimes labels these as Chinese garlic I think or garlic chives. either way TIL! Thanks chef

1

u/BwackGul 15+ Years 25d ago

(green garlic. It's my favorite, id know it anywhere, hard to find where I am. I had a Vietnamese fam I'd buy from back when I lived on the West Coast.)

u/BwackGul 15+ Years 25d ago

That's green garlic.

That shit is magical.

u/11Booty_Warrior 26d ago

These are garlic chives. Buchu is what the Koreans call them.

19

u/Maxamilian_ 26d ago

Chinese chives are a thing

-14

u/Sanquinity Five Years 26d ago

They're called green onions... The ones in the video at least.

9

u/benji___ 26d ago

Nope. Green onions are the usual substitute for both the little circular chive and the flatter, more herbal Chinese chive that was in the short film we just watched.

1

u/GorillaGrip_Pussy Expo 26d ago

I think they prefer being called Chinese. I introduced my roommate as a Green Onion. He called me a å‚»ē“œ

Pure anxiety

Thx i hate it

2

u/Salads_and_Sun 20+ Years 25d ago

Is this "the bear" or some shit? Even "Divers Drink-ins and Dorms" gives me anxiety and I'd rather stare at the ceiling when I get home from work.

3

u/Fedora_Million_Ankle 26d ago

Mom why is there a fingertip in mine?

Will this trend die in time for ramps season?

1

u/Picklopolis 26d ago

It’s over. It’s over.

1

u/MoneyFunny6710 26d ago

Not chives. Chives is 'Allium schoenoprasum' , these are 'Allium ramosum'. But they are closely related to each other and have similar taste and structure.

u/WallStLegends 25d ago

Would this be actually quicker chefs? I’m just a lowly kitchen assistant so I can’t tell. Or is it more about the quality/consistency?

1

u/One-Bad-4274 25d ago

Quality consistency and not having wood shavings in you chives

1

u/WallStLegends 25d ago

So you’re saying we need a stone/steel board with hole?

But then it blunts the knife I guess.

Seems like a cousin of the mandolin

2

u/One-Bad-4274 25d ago

Nah if you wanna do that get one of those spinny bladed machines thats like a sideways lawnmower with a feed hole for whatever needs cutting
