@demonkind Probably. I picked that one because it's the one I was cooking at the time, but there's a bunch of other stuff I cook that derives from Italian, Cajun, and Indian cuisines where the definitions are less fuzzy, and the same problem exists.

@indi I already have half a dozen names for things. I don't need the temptation. =>.>=

@indi In general, I do too. I just want to make sure that, in so doing, I'm not inadvertantly going against Good Praxis if somebody has a recommendation for a better approach. I'd rather ask the question and open myself up to critique than assume I've simply come up with the best possible answer.

@indi Possibly? At the same time, it isn't just this recipe with which I have this problem. I don't know if adding "para-" to the front of every dish I've had to adapt this way will work. F'rex, the Diteseo -- the sauce of Theseus -- started life as what I thought carbonara was, then an earnest alfredo, before becoming basically a Stroganoff-esque gravy as my dietary requirements evolved. It looks nothing like any of its predecessors.

Simply calling it "turkey and zucchini stew" says little about its spice profile or how it actually tastes. Labeling it according to any real-world ethnicity would be actively Not What I Want. Inventing a suggestive name without a real-world analogue feels like low-grade fantasy racism. Listing its full ingredient name every time is simply impractical. Every approach feels inadequate.

So, suggestions from the interboops?

Right now, I've got a pot of black beans, zucchini, onion, and ground turkey in a thick sauce simmering on the stove. It's seasoned with cumin, oregano, black pepper, garlic, a hint of cinnamon, and a dash of orange peel. If it had chilies and tomatoes in it, or anywhere close to it, it'd be chili, but it doesn't and isn't. Its lineage seems obvious to me but it looks nothing like anything I've encountered or heard about from others in my limited exposure.

So, mastoboops, ponder with me:

I love to cook, and I love a lot of flavor profiles that are common to various world cuisines, but because of some very frustrating food allergies -- nightshades and dairy both make me violently ill -- I can't really eat, and thus don't really cook, a lot of stuff folks would recognize as authentic.

This leaves me with a question: what do I _call_ this stuff?

@falkreon@witches.town My latest bad bug: I added a command-line argument to the front of a program and forgot to re-index all the variable assignments afterwards.

@a_breakin_glass I happen to love it and that I made it while I was high is a testament to my skill at cooking and my increased Wisdom penalties while stoned.

I had to use extra water and triple sec to bring the crust together, because I used cocoa powder in my cheater's puff. Paul Hollywood would not approve. Mary Berry would add more double cream. The tart filling has no cream, just eggs, chocolate, and TOFFEE that I made while I was HIGH.

STONED. TOFFEE.

That was totally a bad plan. But it __worked__. And it tasted pretty good, even if the dough still rose too much in the middle because I patched a hole too aggressively.

I'm baking a chocolate tart.

This is probably a bad plan.

The cheater's puff I made is not exactly... up to spec. This happens sometime. I get moved to _experiment_ before I know what I'm doing. The results are unorthodox.

I _did_ try to dock the dough. it still puffed up weirdly in the middle, so I clearly didn't dock it enough.

@fluffy@queer.party @mawr And to be sure, under normal circumstances, I'm a huge stickler for CRs; I believe they catch more bugs than tests ever can. That I did this is kind of a process breakdown, but I have a team of three people of whom two were out at the time, a bugfix pending a blocking change in a package, and nobody to approve the package. So, I took the risk and noted that I was doing so in my PR citing the urgency of the bugfix.

It's still not good, but it was least pessimal.

And what do you know, it did go awry. Not terrible, just committed to the wrong repo. Ha ha. Time to validate that rollback plan....

@Oneironott It's not _coyote_, but there is trickster. =>.>=

@Oneironott That would validate that my monitors are working! =n.n=
