I've never heard of it in meatballs, but I've made lots of Sicilian type sauces with tomato, raisins, capers, pine nuts, lots of pepperoncini, etc. Sicilian has a spicy/sweet/savory thing from the Arab influence.

on chapo they said she makes "yarn art for rich people" and i don't think that is true at all.
i understand there is a broader ideological battle here where oxman and her husband are on the wrong side. this is just sort of a separate point.

agreed, her stuff has much more of a giant paper weight for rich people aesthetic

like Chihuly and any number of others, Oxman and her fans have mistaken ādesignā and ādecorā for āart.ā
― butt dumb tight my boners got boners (the table is the table), Wednesday, 17 January 2024 12:28 (three months ago) link
That isnāt a value judgment on decor and designā we need quality stuff in those realms too!

the vast chihuly hanging piece in the entrance hall to the V&A is tbf p striking (and of course the V&A is a museum of design and decor) but these days when you view it from the nearby balcony it is often also p strikingly *dusty*: evidently they are afraid of taking feather brooms to it too often in case it comes crashing down on the reception desk below

My sense of Chihuly is that his work always impresses people, but this is due to it being colorful and obviously requiring plenty of technical skill to make. But being impressed by it should not be mistaken for enjoying it. I don't enjoy it.

― B. Amato (Boring, Maryland), Wednesday, 17 January 2024 19:26 (three months ago) link
The only time I found any enjoyment in Chihuly's work was touring his exhibit by the Space Needle, where it was like enveloping yourself in the stoned alien landscape and less about a kind of ugly "focal" point in another context.

I am not a snob, despite some past pronouncements on this site. I like all kinds of stuff in most media forms. What I donāt like is what artless rich people, tech yups, and corporations deem āinoffensiveā art, or what I would call decoration. Itās offensively bland and bad.

i tend to agree with u table i think it is v often bland, tho sometimes it is not quite that to me. part of me is pretty enraptured by elaborate or even like, baroque process, and i think there's so much implied, necessary process in some of his pieces. and i tend to find some art in some of that necessary process, if done well. even if it is not transgressive, challenging, or offensive. even if it seems to some like mere decoration. no accounting for my bad taste, for sure.
