Search algorithms put you on page nine or worse unless you satisfy lots of ad views before you get to the desired content
Slash0mega
apparently they do that cause google punishes you if users don't don't stay long enough scroll enough on your site....
Boil1337
Damn...! What font size you printing that at...?

Ctrl+F ingredients

I mean, they're the ones with the consideration to share the recipes we don't know. Let them say what they want.
CurbYourClassWar
Guys, all of this has to do with SEO and Google's algorithm. If you don't like it, stop giving those sites your attention.

Hello this is a steak, let me talk about the inspiration for the most basic of meals ever.
lurkilydurkiler
If it doesn’t have “jump to recipe” I don’t care how good it looks, they can do to hell!!
daintyturdnuggets
Or when they put the step by step instructions before the ingredients like some kind of psychopath.
Leevalleyoftheshadowofdeath
Gotta make space for all those ads

FUCKING THIS

“When Mr Bilbo Baggins of Bag End announced that he would shortly be celebrating his eleventy-first birthday with a party..."
PreciousPotato
Yeah, no, that’s instant „let’s look somewhere else“ for me.
Davi5090
Type bbc after whatever you want to make, the recipe is at the top of the page
asm80dfa8sdfj
And often mediocre
Riverpassive
How else will they get out their super unique story?!
vintagebroad
It’s gotten worse. Now, with more pop ups and ads!
auztin78
You forgot about all the ads and pop up videos now too. Finding a recipe online drives me crazy. I'd rather have a cookbook library.
ElvisStarburst
It surprises me that adblockers still aren't installed right away for most people. It should be next in line after installing a new browser
FluffyDon360
Recipes are almost impossible to copyright so they tack on a story so they can publish it as original content.
AdamBenjaminCrafter
I use an app called Paprika 3 to scrape those website and just hand me the recipe.

ToSisPoS
That’s what you get if you’re too cheap to buy a cookbook. Ctrl-F 1 Cup usually will race right to the recipe.
asm80dfa8sdfj
My cookbook doesn't have every recipe
ToSisPoS
Hence the small service of scrolling past inane bullshit to get ad count.
Foodisthebeesknees
My favorites have the "Skip to recipe" button at the top. Love those people. Fairly certain the crazy long stories help google ratings.
Taykaybo
Yeah at least give us the option of whether or not we want to suffer through a story
SpaceCatKatia
I heard google has Recipe Filter extension that looks for recipe in a page and shows it as pop up.
MosquitoHawker
Recommend the Yummly app for the same. Tells you the basic ingredients etc up front, mainly (still have to click through to boring shit tho)
Taykaybo
I gotta get that
nclu
There's usually a "print recipe" link at the top. Puts everything right there nice and clean
bd500
Paprika app is also super good for this
DraydanGuitar
If you want a really decadent but tasty one, here you go: in a saucepan, cook some srimps with shallots and garlic, after they're cooked 1/2
DraydanGuitar
You can de-shell the shrimps, put em back in the saucepan and add cooking cream and lemon juice to taste , wait until cream reduces a bit
DraydanGuitar
Then add grated parmesan to thicken the sauce, add salt pepper to taste n that part's done, now one trick i like to do
DraydanGuitar
Is take the pastas and put them in the saucepan and finish the last bit of cooking in the sauce, it makes em absorbs the flavors
DraydanGuitar
With this recipe although, i'd highly recommend adding mussels or anchovies to it (they can be put same time as shrimp, be sure to throw out
DraydanGuitar
Any unopened mussels)
DustyPigeon
When I was 6 I caught my first fish with my great grampy and that's where this recipe starts. 3 pages of life history later.
keillrandor
Only 3, before he gave the recipe on his deathbed? Not an interesting life, then? :P /s
Taykaybo
No kidding
xLynnuh
I mean I usually read the backstory I think it’s kinda nice but sometimes it’s really annoying when it’s like literally 20 pages 1/2
xLynnuh
And like after 19 pages of story the recipe is like condensed into half a page that’s worded really badly
Taykaybo
There should be a "feeling sentimental" option or "I'm in a fucking rush, let's go" option
Juddernaught
Dice onion & garlic -fry in oil-add 5+ anchovies-fry-add raw seafood-fry til sealed-add 500ml passata-some salt pepper & sugar and done! :-)
betterave
That’s good pasta.
frischcode
Sugar?
Juddernaught
I thought I’d try and do it quicker ;-)
Jordinatinglybeautiful
Dude if you’re not substituting the tomatoes for cream and adding a little baby spinach sometimes then you’re missing a treat
PreciousPotato
Gosh, I love salmon with tagliatelle and cream sauce. And, of course, lots of spinach.
Juddernaught
Oh yes absolutely! It’s so good! I add a LOT of parsley to it though as well.
reineseele
Or visit your grandma and watch. ^^
Taykaybo
Anchovies? What about shrimp and lobster meat instead
Juddernaught
Well the anchovies melt, and end up giving the sauce an awesome seafoody flavour, without taking away from whatever actual seafood you add.
Taykaybo
Woah I didn't know that
Juddernaught
Try it, it tastes so good!
Taykaybo
Do you chop them up first?
ErrantPursuits
This shit drives me crazy. Nobody fkn cares about your wholesome childhood, just tell me how to make a damned pie!

::slaps roof of food blog:: look how many ads...
ButtTrumpett
Its done for SEO. If they didn’t you wouldn’t find a recipe for linguini. May I suggest using the app all recipes or the “food” network app

As a newish bartender that doesnt know how to make EVERY drink that exists in the WORLD the birthday verification for recipes drives me nuts
KillerTofu69
On mobile, there's an option in the URL bar for reader mode that's more streamlined. Easier to scroll past ads and life stories.

It has to do with people not being able to legally copypasta of people's recipes.
Justicator
It has to do with copyright. Recipes can't be copyrighted, but a story and a recipe can.
PwnageHobo
Speak for yourself. And yes, I also read playboy for the articles
UnconvincingRussianTroll
There's a chrome extension, Recipe Filter, that gives you just the recipe, works a treat.
SeriousIy
They do this for ad reveneu. The longer the story, the more ads you scroll past, making them more money. Its nothing more than that.
SeriousIy
Thats why if you look at Kraft or Campbell websites there is no stories. They dont need the ad money, they just want you on their site
NautiGal
Bless whoever created the "Jump to Recipe" Button
AwesomeName
Blame google, it's the fault of their algorithm.
CurbYourClassWar
Should be top comment
SeriousIy
Its actually all based on ads... Still googles fault though
welluhwhatdoyouwantmetosay
Recipes are lists, and cannot be copyrighted. Unique stories that precede them can be copyrighted.
SeriousIy
The real reason they do it is worse... Longer story means you scroll by more adds, making them more money
welluhwhatdoyouwantmetosay
My sister ghost wrote for a celebrity cook book. There was no scrolling involved.
SeriousIy
Thats cool! Different than the typical googled recepie, probably much better

"Me & my mother loved to laugh and make this delicious dessert in the kitchen of our sunny side cottage in the prairies" TELL ME THE RECIPE

I just wanted to know which crackers would be good in chicken meatloaf but I couldn't find an ingredient list in 4 different pages so- RITZ!

My favorite is the brownie recipe that starts out mentioning September 11th.

Is she actually quoting herself in the third person, under her own by-line?
ScarlettNape
Not to mention: “Abstemiousness,” she wrote, “is not an option when you're feeling low.”
ChiliBeef
I can't view it because they want me to create an account first.
Ayoken007
If you're fast and/or bored enough, you can screenshot it before it throws up the login overlays
dafawkudoin
I refuse to do that shit. Not a conspiracy thing, just laziness. Or pessimism. No recipe is worth creating an account.
pepper223
I read the very beginning before the popup, "Shortly after September 11, 2001"

Grab an add-on called 'Behind the Overlay'.
