my dad has spent half his life trying to design a cuboid samosa and failing and I have never seen him look sadder and more disappointed when he told me "I cannot even depend on you to fix this after I am gone"

He is not alone. My father spent decades perfecting a latke recipe that makes absolutely perfect potato pancakes only to have grandchildren who do not like potato pancakes.

This feels like it's halfway to being a proper rewrite of "The Black Parade", y'know?

Why cuboid? How about a crunchwrap shape!

My chefhubby and I now have SO MANY QUESTIONS about why a cube? Is it a question of division? Because wouldn't the contents settle?

Yeah, you don’t see many cuboid dumplings. It’s doable with two strips of dough, but still… two pieces of dough cut reasonably precisely is pretty needlessly complicated. If he wants to give it a try, two 3x1 strips arranged like the leather on a baseball can make a cube. Good luck sealing it.

The burden of parental expectations. You could have been a pastry architect or a potato engineer. But no, you had to become a writer!

That would be like a pyramidal hamburger or something. On the other hand think of the possibilities for assimilation—it would be futile to resist a cubical samosa!

I am really curious as to why and also what part of it is giving him so much difficulty

Hey @kaitlinruiz.bsky.social we still need to organise Dadcon so they can do their portable taco-samosa hybrid and change the world
