Any details on this? Is the plan to just let anyone sell whatever food they damn well please? Commercial kitchen licensing and safe food handling licenses exist for a damn good reason. These regulations were written in bloody diarrhea.
Move fast and break things
Move slowly with diarrhea.
Move fast but leave a trail
There is already a massive difference between my coocking for myself and for guests. And my guest cooking wouldnt survive a health inspection. On the other hand do i know enough restutanz kitchens that are worse. So much…
There is already a massive difference between my coocking for myself and for guests.
I hope your guests get better coocking than you do, but I guess you have to treat your coock right every now and again.
Yes. Easy exanple is the tasting spoon. For myself i just reuse it, for others its a clean one everytime.
“The tasting spoon” is quite the cleaver euphemism for your coock
How else am i supposed to reach the bottom
restutanz
:(
Where did the can come from? Does this require soup?
🤮
I think the plan is this is a joke…
I mean during COVID as a nurse I paid for my neighbor’s groceries in exchange for meal prep (they were single with no kids so it was still cheaper than getting takeout all the time) but that’s a highly personal deal to cut. Incidentally though I told one of my coworkers about the deal and they were like “wait my neighbor has kids but I could probably still net positive on like half their groceries…” There were some good human moments during that time. I also promoted that neighbor who cooked for me to husband but that’s a different story.
You fool, you fell for the classic blunder
Its “disruptive” duh.
This has to be fake, no way people are paying significantly more than a restaurant just to get food thats Facebook marketplace quality
This post is just a joke made by OP. Notice how it’s posted to funny and OP hasn’t commented. A single time and is just sitting back and enjoying the show.
Ok yeah I checked, this is 100% fake
Food with no particular assertions about safety or hygiene either.
Just slap in “made with raw milk and gmo free” and you have a whole set of demographics buying it up and none to complain about it.
They should add a bid option. Then watch people snipe your lunch the last second.
the second one is
Yea but they got a 50% rating… I don’t know if I want to try sourdough that only 50% of people like.
50% of the people still alive*
you can’t be sure that the people who died of food poisoning didn’t really like it!
“Hey kids, we are eating tonight! Outbid? Oh no… sorry kids, its starvation again.”
Shit post so good I had to check irl
it is weird that there is bidding for this instead of just all being “buy it now”. Who wants to plan several hours ahead for probabilistic takeout you probably won’t even get, to maybe hypothetically save several dollars?
You’re forgetting that after the few hours wait, you then need to bribe/bid/whatever whichever
shithead“gig professional” they get to deliver it, Ubereats, Lyft, HingeGood news, if you are already used to using gig workers, you’re already used to hours old cold food. It’s got SyNeRgY
i mean, i make a mean pot of chili. we could plan for there being 20 servings, let them bid on all 20…
6 bids
…is it used?
Only one previous owner!
For parts
Was warm when cooked.
Slightly dipped by a pair of balls.
Some chew marks.
Does the “Hot item” indicator go away after a while? Or are they keeping it hot?
When you ring the doorbell to pick it up, they quickly chuck it into the microwave. 🙃
i’m trying to remember how much it cost to get my food handlers permit back when. if i could get my kitchen “home certified” or whatever that means (it’s totally a thing shut up) i could be a tamale mama or get back into the ice cream game. i might even be able to compete with our local legend of a tamale mama who started a tamale factory
They call it a cottage baker license around where I live (for baking at least). I got it in 2025 to sell some loaves and ended up having the most busy year of work so I sold zero.
i’m in california and have cats. and am friends with the baker at the coffee shop and we’ve talked about this exact thing before for all y’all trying to infodump and tell me i can do this when i already know the rules. i’m pretty sure the rules are insane for me
Ghost kitchens/fb marketplace food/etc are libertarian tech bros flouting government regulation regarding food safety by being like “oh well I don’t actually sell the food” and they 100% get away with it even though stopping the facilitation would be stupidly easy.
They’re testing the waters imo. How long until you can get unlicensed and untrained mental health care, physical health care, etc?
I genuinely wonder what the rate of food poisoning looks like with the rise of shit like doordash and uber eats
If there’s organic flour, what is anorganic flour made of?
In principle, Flour made from wheat grown using in inputs produced from inorganic sources. In practice the “organic” term in the US is fairly complex set of standards designed to maximize long term soil health and minimize use of pest/fung/herbicides that could linger long term in the environment around a farm.
So “organic” is a US food label, like Bio?
Yes pretty much exactly. Organic is the US equivalent of Bio in the EU. There are differences in the specifics of what the standards are, some looser, some tighter. The goals of the standards are also a bit different, with the organic label in the US being more focused on soil health, land management and environmental impact, less focused on the “healthiness” of the final product for the consumer. Although lots of people in the US take the label organic to mean “healthy” despite that not really being the goal.
Anorganic wheat,
How do I get in on this Beta? I have some leftover lasagna I froze into single servings - can sell frozen for $5 or heat it up and sell for $9.
Just looked up legality and Internet is telling me maybe because “Cottage food laws”. News to me.
It depends on the locale. People already do this a ton on Facebook.
From what i’ve seen, on facebook its more of a you buy and they cook it so its ready when you get there, not, they cook it put it for sale and wait for bids.
Wouldn’t it work the same way on eBay then?
Idk, it says “Cooked” so i assumed that it was that you cook then list it on ebay and wait for bids.
My guess is eBay is too dense to know how it would really work and people would do whatever makes sense.
Where I live does have “cottage food laws.” You have to have a food handler’s permit and pass an inspection. The types of permitted foods is restricted as well.
You can’t sell anything that is time/temperature controlled for safety.
One example regulation is for sourdough starter. It must have a pH of 4 or less and that has to be laboratory certified.
Might be breaking an NDA
Unless they made you sign an NDA when you were invited to the closed beta, i doubt you’re breaking an NDA. The most they can do is revoke your access to the closed beta i think.
Also, 3 hour old sourdough with a bid that ends in 2 hours… Hmm, i love sourdough from 5 hours ago… Very fresh.
I usually leave my sourdough to cure for 24 hours before I slice it. Improves the texture. Lets the gluten solidify.
High hydration, so letting it dry out a bit is fine.
Your patience is inhuman. When I was still eating bread, I would let the bread cool, but not even to room temperature.
Oh, I make two loaves and you bet we go to TOWN on that first one. I’ll give it 20 minutes in the pan, then 20 minutes out of the pan, or, if we’re hungry and impatient, I’ll do a cold water bath in the pan and then pull it out to airdry as long as I can stand. :)
With this particular bread, if you cut it too early, it’s kinda gooey. It needs a little time to come to temp.
Can’t get sourer than this.
If they signed an NDA, I would expect ebay to suspend the account if caught. There are different ways that could happen. This assumes this thing is even real.
They don’t need an NDA to suspend your account, just terms in the EULA.
NDA is for when you involve a court.
Bidding on food? What??
Was there something wrong with the way we have been selling food for like 3000+years?
Yeah, I really wonder what their thought process was. Are you supposed to bid on multiple foods, so that if you get outbid, you can fall back to the next one?
Do ppl not realise that this is fake? or am I not in on the joke lol
Between irony, sarcasm, Poe’s Law, human-made hoaxes, AI generated fakes, the low emotional valence of text, and the absurd pseudo-optimism of tech companies looking for the next big thing, there is no such thing as real or fake on the internet anymore.
Sure, but either this does or does not exist. I get how having to always be on the lookout for what’s real and what isnt is exhausting. And all the things you listed have definitely rapidly exacerbated the issue in the last few years, but that doesnt mean that what’s real and what’s fake suddenly dont matter anymore. At least to me.
It’s not that it doesn’t matter. Having a sense of reality is incredibly important. It’s simply, the further we go, the less access we all have to any sense of reality that can be transmitted by essentially any medium.
Yea that is bleak :/ i usually try to think abt the ppl who do care abt truth, but if the tools themselves are “tainted” idk :(
But i 100% know that this kitty is real :3
I don’t have any way to know the kitty is real, but I know it’s cute.
I’m the President of the Internet and what you just said is true.
Lol this is the innovative capitalism brings. People sell food on Facebook and that doesn’t seem to go anywhere. Sounds like eBay just desperate for revenue streams
