Rigatoni with corporate meatballs, homemade sauce from crushed tomatoes, smoked mozzarella.

Ground beef is too expensive to even think about making meatballs. So corporate is going to have to work for now.

Cost per person $2.75.

Corporate meatballs? πŸ™ƒ

I did not know when I chose that phrasing that it was an established norm. But at least it shows that it was understandable term.

Google's AI will often pretend to have heard of a phrase even if it hasn't. Usually it can infer pretty well but sometimes it will just be flat out wrong. In this case it nailed it.

Or when you hear people saying ai hallucinates, this is what they are talking about...

All its doing is trying to come up with the best answer it can... corporate meatballs isn't a thing... it's just what they called meatballs they got in a store instead of buying meat and making them

As far as I know Gemini's knowledge base for each response is the first few responses, so that is its entire worldview aha. A few separate mentions of the term could amount to 'common usage' for the AI, plus the bias that of course, as I searched for it and the results are sorted based on relevance and SEO factors, the AI's sources are heavily biased toward it's existence, leading to a misrepresentation of commonality.

HR wants to discuss why it's not cool to call management "Corporate Meatballs."

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

Put it in my file next to "so you're just a bureaucrat."

Italian sausage costs half of what ground beef does here. And it makes some bangin' meatballs.

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

True but it's not beef. Wife demands beef. So much so that we talked about getting some breeding muscovies today because their meat is very close to beef.

[–] EbenezerScrew@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Got any recommendations for pork meatball recipes? I have a grinder that I've been itching to bust out over winter.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

i mean you can just make normal meatballs, the meat barely matters and i'm pretty sure it'll even work fine with soy mince.

For a specific recipe i know works, here's bog standard swedish meatballs, you probably want to make a half size batch:

  • 1kg ground meat
  • 3dl milk
  • 150ml breadcrumbs
  • 1 onion, grated or finely diced
  • 2 eggs
  • 10ml salt
  • 2ml black pepper
  • 5ml sugar mix together the milk and breadcrumbs in a big bowl and let it sit for 10 minutes, then add the rest and mix it all together really well. Then form into balls and fry, or if you want to be fancy you can form the balls, boil them, THEN fry. That shit is poppin.

What are "corporate meatballs"?

[–] doeinthewoods@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 week ago (2 children)

What is this corporate that replaces beef?

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Freezer section meatballs like the kind that end up in crockpots at potlucks. 49% not meat.

[–] seathru@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 week ago

Ground beef is too expensive

I hear you, it hurts to double the cost of buying groceries with fresh meat

[–] moseschrute@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

God damn it. Can I place an order for delivery?

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Sorry, kitchen is closed. I made some sourdough herb cookies I'm thinking about eating with smoked mozzarella if you want to come over later.

[–] wildncrazyguy138@fedia.io 4 points 1 week ago

Rigatoni? Huh, ours are usually in sales, or each others wives.

I smoked a lot of cheese last winter and I'm trying to eat up some of my stock so I can free up room to smoke more this winter.

That looks really incredible!
