What this is
Gourmet Kaizoku is the food and drink group of the Kaizoku crew on Telegram. People post what they are eating and drinking, argue about it, and some of them keep score. This site is the group's receipts, sorted.
What counts as an entry
The rule is deliberately dumb, because a rule you have to think about is a rule nobody follows.
Post it
A photo in the group of something you ate or drank. One photo per thing. Extra angles of the same thing get folded in under it rather than counted twice.
Name it
Say what it was in the caption or the next message. If the label is unreadable and nobody says, it gets logged as unnamed rather than guessed at.
Score it, or don't
A number out of 10 if you feel like it. Unscored entries stay in the index, greyed, with a blank label. Dino logged 151 things before he started scoring and they all still count.
Hauls count too
Shop shelves, crates, fridge shots and bags. They get their own section instead of polluting the numbered index.
Nothing else is indexed
Ordinary group chat, stickers, voice notes and off-topic messages are not part of the export that builds these pages.
How a page gets built
No manual copy-typing. The group's own messages are the source, the site is a view of them.
1 · Export
The group's whole Telegram history is exported and read into a local database: every message, every photo, who posted it and when.
2 · Read
Each food photo becomes an entry: what it was, the date, the note as written. If the caption said nothing, the next thing the poster said is used instead. Several shots of one meal fold into a single entry.
3 · Build
Anything that cannot be read as a dish is dropped rather than guessed at. What survives is tagged with a cuisine and written out as the JSON this site reads.
4 · Count
Every number on this site is counted once, on a laptop, and shipped as a finished file. Nothing is computed while you look at it. Drinks are drawn from their own flavour words, so no photo is needed to tell them apart.
Notes are quoted exactly as they were posted, typos and all. Scores are whatever the person said, never adjusted, and only Dino gives them. Ordinary chat is read to work out what a photo was, but is never published: this site shows food, not conversations.
Everything here was posted in the group by the people named. If you are in the group and want your posts or your name out of the index, say so and they go.
Who keeps a log
One page per member who keeps one. Want a page? Start posting and it appears.
Fair warning
Everything here was posted by people to a group chat, not written for a website. If you are in the group and want something of yours out of the index, say so and it goes. House rule
The group is on Telegram. Post a photo, say what it was, score it if you feel like it.
