I blieve what Jacque says about what being a craftsman is, because I have experienced it, not as a chef, but as a nuclear submarine marine mechanic of 33yrs! The osmosis of learning was through watching what others did or didn’t do or could have done. I’ll never forget when as a helper, the journeyman mechanic only reached out his hand and I asked “what” and he replied “can’t you see what I’m doing”. He wanted me to hand him the tool to accomplish the tasks at hand… “the osmosis of learning”!

Thing is, very few of us go the full route that this man has. He has been in the kitchen now for almost 70 years doing most of the same techniques over and over and over, trying new things, going back to the old, trying new again etc., climbing his way up to world class. There were many great chef’s in that audience who have done and are still doing the same, some maybe not as far along. There are so many of us who love the kitchen and who marvel at what Jacques can do and many of the comments say ,’mine just isn’t as good as his’. Well...no, it would be odd if it was really. What he conveys is not ego, in fact just the opposite, he exudes a genuine warmth, sincerity, and love in his teaching. He has a bit of the devilish humor about him as well, which makes it even more attractive to watch. Consciously or not, we recognize all that and are drawn to it, we are comfortable. He has developed over the years a keen ability to talk, stay on subject, and inject just enough humor, all while performing his trade. The comments he made towards the end about the reality shows and the yelling etc, really struck home.

@BigIron936 3 жыл бұрын

Yelling is a very effective tool for teaching "new" people not to make certain mistakes that can cost them or others life or limb or completely ruin their work. However, yelling in anger as a teacher not as a teaching tool is not an effective teaching mechanism when your student has done nothing wrong or simply doing things their own way. Some people are negligent at their jobs, this might not be you, but if someone is it is appropriate that you shock them into being responsible about what they are doing in a non-physical way because it tends to stick and they change their reckless behavior. It's the uncomfortable feeling and scared feeling that "tends to stick" especially when it is coming from a friend or an authority figure. You should never yell at some one for doing something accidentally (except if it is very dangerous) or just doing something differently when their intention is good and the result is acceptable. That is bullying.

@bubbadeaux1671 3 жыл бұрын

Yelling is simply abuse, Zachery. One can instruct and warn without yelling.

@BigIron936 3 жыл бұрын

@@bubbadeaux1671 If you never got yelled at for being a dumbass by your father or brother or friend or boss that you respect and immediately regretted what you did and never did it again and apologized and earned their respect back then you do not understand that when people who actually care about you yell at you it is NOT always abuse. it's important. Too many people abuse it, but to suggest that it is simply never appropriate is simply not true. Stupid example but if you suddenly catch your toddler sticking a fork into the electrical outlet what are you going to do? "Now timmy don't do that you're gonna get hurt." No, You're not. Your gonna scream "STOP!" and he's gonna stop. If you're doing something wrong at your job over and over and somebody finally blows their top and tells you the truth and it changes your life. You know that they are are right and you are wrong and their "yelling" helps facilitate that information into your mind especially if yelling is something that they never normally do. It ignites people to pay attention and it should not be used willy nilly for no reason or it will become ineffective and abusive.

I was trained as a musician, a very similar calling in many ways. My college organ professor made me start my technique over from scratch. She said you first need to learn it properly (my way) and, after you know something (years), you can take it your own way. First, you learn the proper technique, just like Jacques says! By the way, my organ professor was 100% correct. I became a first-class organist and am now retired (but still playing).

@larrymacdougall.7944 6 жыл бұрын

Unaaaagi actually the term "boning" in reference to meat and seafood preparation means "to remove the bones from an animal or fish". As in, "when you're finished boning the salmon, would you please bone the chicken." Boning and deboning can be used interchangeably. However, having worked as a meat cutter in retail and wholesale production, the preferred use amongst professionals is boning.

Unaaaagi I might say "I've filleted the salmon, would you mind pin-boning? I've got a boner over here." And certainly you can extrapolate to a sexual connotation, but I've worked in many shops and any competent cutter will know the meaning.
