This is a group for good faith conversations about cooking. Are you interested in that or would you rather be removed from it?
Your challenge was 'you have a lot of different food, what do you make?' and clarified nothing else and got called out for being unclear. Now you have the choice to say 'oh you're right, I was unclear, sorry I meant xxx' instead you double down and say 'well I understood what I meant, how about I ban you for daring to disagree with me'.
The more rigid the less fun.
It's just like the challenge based cooking shows.
Use the star ingredients.
You can use other ingredients to make that happen.
This is a project of imagination and resourcefulness. I'm not going to put together a list of every ingredient you should have in a pantry because that's going to vary from area to area. If you don't know what's in your pantry you can literally go to your kitchen and see what other ingredients you have.
Okay, you continue to miss the point and I'm not sure if you're doing it on purpose or not so I'll make it as simple and clear as possible:
You said the challenge was hard mode because you had a well stocked pantry and some other stuff and asked what you could make. You were told you could make almost anything with a well stocked pantry and got upset that nobody understood what you meant. You were told politely that you could have been more clear, you continued to get upset and blame others. All you had to do was clarify and not blame everyone else and everyone (including you) would have been happy.
I said the challenge was hard because barley and peppers are two flavors that normally are put together and barley is not an ingredient a lot of people have experienced with.
The first response where I was upset was because they said if they had a well stocked pantry they wouldn't even use the ingredients shown. That defeats the entire purpose of the challenge.
In what country is barley not a common ingredient? Do they not really use it in the USA?
It's pretty rare here. Most stores don't carry it. I had to get this at a Mexican Tienda.
