Cookbook talk:Teriyaki Sauce

Description needs cleanup (paring down, too). Kellen 18:37, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
What sort of cleanup? AlbertCahalan 06:11, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
As for the size, I wish the rest of the cookbook would be a bit more verbose about serving suggestions and descriptions. If this recipe sticks out, it's only because many recipe authors don't bother to even describe what the result will be like or how it might be served. Adding intro text to many of the other recipes would be wonderful. AlbertCahalan 06:11, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

- I don't think the intro is too long, I think it is a bit scattered and the suggestion about pineapple juice belongs in a variations section. The writing style grates a bit as well as it is a little too informal (for my tastes anyway). My intention is to personally go through all the modules marked with {{cookwork}} and do some cleanup.

I understand reccomendations to serve this w/ rice, various meats, and veggies as they are all parts of the same dish, but does this really need a suggestion to drink a soda with the dinner? I guess you could say that it is similar to suggesting a wine, but a "drink with any kind of corn-syrup sweetened beverage" seems silly to me. Alternatively you might be trying to get at the point that this is for a casual dinner, but I think that can be done other ways. I also don't get the comment about "picky eaters" at all, as it seems totally subjective. Kellen T 02:01, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
- I would suggest milk with cookies, muffins, or chocolate. I would suggest tomato juice or orange juice with scrambled eggs. I would suggest red grape juice with roast pork. (wine, if you want to kill brain cells) I would suggest soda with many things that are greasy and/or salty. (one might choose beer I suppose) I'd really insist if this were a recipe for pork rinds. :-) Eating pork rinds with milk would be very wrong. Well, this isn't pork rinds or even deep-fried, so I won't insist. AlbertCahalan 02:58, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
- I note that sauces have a problem. I could create a chicken recipe, "chicken with teriyaki sauce", and a beef recipe and... I hope you see where I'm going with this. If sauces can't be in those categories, then we need to make lots of trivial recipes. That would be awful. AlbertCahalan 02:58, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
- As for picky eaters... well, the sauce doesn't have chunks in it. It doesn't have bits of onion, orange peel, and garlic. Maybe there should be a category for dishes that don't have poorly-identified bits floating in them. AlbertCahalan 02:58, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
