Is it OK to reverse engineer the recipes for restaurant dishes so you can make them at home?
-
@evan I have no need to; I answered yes.
@virtuous_sloth complex minds sometimes try to stretch their boundaries and see things from another point of view.

@evan Oh don't worry, I'm aware of the other point of view. I know it too well. I know it well enough to know of the absolute destruction it has done.
So if I choose not to entertain it by speaking it, it is not because of lack of curiosity.
-
@evan Well... Why reverse engineer? Everytime I had asked I was given the recipe gladly. For dishes, cocktails, deserts... Social engineering, if you want to call it that way. :)
@jesterchen this is definitely an interesting line of reasoning! Question back: is there a significant difference between asking for the recipe, and reverse-engineering it?
-
@evan can't even guess what, for example. Chef will be upset? ;)
@liilliil well, in other contexts, calling someone a racist slur is not OK, even if it's not prohibited by copyright law. So, "there's no copyright problem" does not automatically mean that the activity is OK. An extreme example but hopefully we've established that copyright is not the be-all and end-all of ethics.

@evan what a question! Of course
-
@evan 100% yes. I'm very confused why anyone would think otherwise.
Cuisine is part of a shared culture and identity. It's not something owned by anyone. The whole point of a restaurant is to share this culture. -

@lizzard What a quick answer. Did you consider it at all, or just answer off the cuff?
-
@DavidBHimself what if it's not your culture?
If you plan to resell it as your own restaurant that argument may apply.
But from the question itself I wasn’t able to deduce that grandma had shotgun hands

Its culture apropiation in a bad way if there is intention to profit from said culture.
Its ok for you to make the spiciest curry for yourself and your family.
Its bad in the case of “now I am gona make the best mexican burritos restaurant”

@gabboman @DavidBHimself what about the grandmother and the shotgun hands? Is that a reference I don't recognize?

Yeah its a reference to hypotheticals within hypoteticals.
“What if…” “yeah fair but what if also…”

#I-think-it-was-chainsaws #but-I-forgot-how-to-write-that-word@gabboman @DavidBHimself ah, that makes sense. I think the question encompasses both domestic and foreign restaurants, but I understand if you think that's a trick.
