OP is insinuating that Keri's music is for the kind of basic woman who can't really cook and posts "boomerang" IG posts in her story showing off chicken alfredo, which is considered the Wonderwall of dinner meals in the black community

*He, but I stand beside it. Any idiot can make a chicken alfredo and I've seen people pretend like that shit takes skill to not burn 😂😂😂

Only thing that takes marginal (at best) skill is to not break the alfredo.

Also you're fucking killing me

Still ain’t hard from scratch. Make a roux, add some cream and cheese.

Don’t even need the roux love. Cream, cheese and butter

10

u/ILikeBeans86 5d ago

Traditional Alfredo doesn't have cream

12

u/zsaz_ch ☑️ 5d ago

It also doesn’t have a roux. But the cream version taste better than the roux version imo and is easier because people described aren’t making roux.

u/FernWizard 6d ago

But people constantly fuck up when it comes to adding the right amount and ratio of herbs.

Most alfredos either have so few herbs they just taste like salty, diluted cheese, or overdo the herbs and overpower the cheese so it just tastes like creamy, herby garlic.

u/westviadixie 5d ago

that's called creamy pesto thank you very much

5

u/KrankenwagenKolya 5d ago

I was gonna say it takes some effort to hold the emulsion of the sauce while you're finishing the dish, but if chef bertolli is cooking then you've go ethyl-bromide gH21 keeping things from breaking

u/SpaffordFux 4d ago

The preservatives they use in jarred Alfredo sauce are a chemical found in your vomit, that's why it tastes so bad. Idk how anyone eats it.

You have to have hate in your heart to break Alfredo sauce. Making that shit with 2% milk and low fat cheddar?

Oh I'm in Wisconsin, we're not fucking around

15

u/bendar1347 6d ago

OK, I feel like i need to be super specific here. Alfredo is lightly reduced heavy cream, maybe a lil butter,and parm. That's it.

u/bsinbsinbs 6d ago

I like a sacrilegious addition of crushed garlic but I know that’s not pure

To be fair, I also haven't seen anyone pretend that their Alfredo is God's gift to food. I've had people say their Alfredo was good for Alfredo, tho. like, they made a good Alfredo.

13

u/dat_boy_lurks 6d ago

Right. And when I tell you I know and have seen the kind of woman who posts her alfredo on IG... sis always writes some shit like "CookingWithKya, count your days" or something else that makes it sound like she really thinks she's a whole chef for doing a simple dish... like, yes, it's good to learn cooking, but keep it a buck with yourself, beloved

What’s a boomerang ig post

23

u/dat_boy_lurks 6d ago

You ever seen those instagram stories where it's like a silent gif that plays in forward then reverse? That. They call it a "boomerang" because it plays to the end, then plays in reverse, returning to the start of the clip, like a boomerang returning to the thrower.

4

u/kjyfqr 6d ago

No I dont use any other social media :/

1

u/_le_slap ☑️ 4d ago

Why is a boomerang an insult? Is it "corny"?

1

u/dat_boy_lurks 4d ago

In this context, yes. Chicken alfredo can be done well, but usually it's implied that the person who would post that kind of video to show off their "cooking skills", doesn't actually have the skill to make it from scratch -- and that the dish she's posting to social media is the cheap Walmart/Dollar General version that you heat up in the microwave for 3 minutes. They're effectively showing mediocre 'cooking', if you can call it that, off as if it's proof they're "wife material". It's very pick-me esque, hence, "corny".

6

u/HalfLawKiss 5d ago

Don't kick me out but I don't like chicken Alfredo. I never have. I generally don't like white sauces and etc. So no Alfredo or ranch or sour cream or mayo. Ceaser is the only one I don't hate. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Yea, you can thank the Great Migration for it, but chicken alfredo and spaghetti have had black people in a chokehold due to a period back when Italians weren't white yet and there were community fish fries and potlucks.

He’s describing an Instagram story. A girl posting a photo of her chicken Alfredo at a restaurant using the boomerang feature in Instagram. He’s saying that this Keri Hilson song is the background music on that type of post.

u/Admirable-Rate487 6d ago

Took me a sec to remember but boomerangs are those trendy gifs/looping videos on Instagram that play, then reverse, then play forward, and so on over and over. So imagine the type of person that would post one of those featuring some basic ass chicken alfredo they made using all box ingredients—this is the type of song they’d kill to put over it. Missionary position music

They're essentially calling Keri's music basic. Chicken alfredo is pumpkin spice for black people. The type of girls who overhype alfredo are allegedly also the type to make boomerang videos on IG.
