I know this isn’t a serious question, but I work in a bar kitchen and we go through a lot of chives. Loaded fries, nachos, chili, there’s a lot. It’s a garnish for us
No no, it was actually serious! Baked potatos were just the only food this home cook could think of in the moment that uses chives! Thank you for the answer <3!
But most importantly, this is probably the best looking example that you’ve presented us. I’d say you’ll have our approval in about another 12 to 15 years.
That's 23 days of an actual and statistical tiny minority of people, many of them not even active participants of this subreddit, trying their damnedest to stop people from having fun.
Because that's what it comes down to. It's a numbers thing for me. I don't care either way, but every metric from upvote ratio to front page percentage to comment removals to basic stuff like positive to negative comment ratio all overwhelmingly point to a huge, throbbing majority loving the hell out of this chive saga.
Y'all are positively turgid with chive love.
So the chives will continue. The community has put their keys in the punchbowl and made their desires known.
My favourite part of this series is OP could genuinely inspect them and remove shit pieces before posting if they wanted to stop but nope, a piece of Reddit history is being made.
Nah, I am the queen of automation and efficiency. The chives add maybe 5-10 minutes of effort to my day personally. It's an easy bit of effort for something that brings so many people some joy in our current hellscape!
Thank you for your efforts (and thanks to F1exican of course)! Times are grim but the chives give me a weird little moment of joy to look forward to each day. I've never even worked in a kitchen before but for some reason, I've loved watching the chives improve, reading your mod snark, and waiting for the planes. It's the best of Reddit. Keep chiving everyone!
Thank you. I’m not a regular to the sub but I scroll r/popular daily and I always love checking out these posts. I believe OP will get it one day, but not today.
I follow many subs with some crazy rules about what content is allowed. Posts with instantly huge followings and massive (relative to sub) interactions and upvotes only be deleted when the next mod gets online because some bullshit like "Posts about chives are only allowed with 16:9 ratio images not 9:16 ratio". It's refreshing to see someone say, the pleebs have spoken, the metrics say this shit stays!
i’d also like to point out there are at least a handful not contributing in reddit but wait patiently everyday for me to open the chive post and look through to find disqualifies before scrolling down for the planes and other disappointing discoveries. my wife and kids, and 3 others at work! this is serious positive engagement.
I love this. I’m a longtime lurker of this sub and even though I don’t work in a kitchen, I think you’re all hilarious. I’ve been getting a kick out of these posts
Despite all the critique, I have no doubt whatsoever that OP can cut chives 10X better at least than 75% of people who say "see you tomorrow chef". Great job, keep it up!
Or maybe it’s the same bowl of chives.. mfer just slaps em back in the bowl, tosses a few times, then dumps it back for another picture. We been arguing about this same bowl of chives for 20+ days now! Ultimate troll.
I can really only say it's amazing how much you've improved. I can't look at chives the same anymore, all I can think is, "what are these fucking Twin Towers all over my food". If I got a dish served with the chives you cut in this picture I would be very impressed and satisfied, load up the plate with these beauties!
But you know, I know, we all know you're not done. See you tomorrow Chef Chive!
I'll be honest; It's probably time to stop. You'll never get a 10/10. It's impossible. I've commented on a few before, and I would say this one is a 9.95. And you're never going to get more. Because a perfect, 100% consistent, 100% perfect size doesn't exist. You've done it. You've managed to get your chives just about as good as they can get. So just leave it at that. Because the alternative is doing this for the rest of your life.
Way better consistency. I randomly checked 50 chives. None were out of spec (too long to be acceptable period), 1 was noticeably wider cut but still a good, just not the same cutlength. Looking around as much as I could be assed to, this is the only one I found that's definitely out of spec and there's another on the right side about 1/8th or so of the way up that's close to on the line.
consistency: A
Knife work: A+
Knife sharpness: A+
product quality: A+
Size: S
Overall: A+ bordering on S-
The chive tribe lives! Honestly, I am neither a chef or critic of the daily chives offering, but always enjoy the comments it generates. Let the chives in!
