    The var kitchen"The Greasy Chip," a pop-up restaurant where you can experience our delectable recipes. 
    We strive to interrogate the terms of serving and service through acts of hospitality.
    Feel free to take a zine and started to explore the adventure! If you are starving, we have our 
    special dish - Chickpea curry!
                         

Description

/var/kitchen, otherwise known as The Greasy Chip, is the kitchen in this feminist data center which traverses the digital and physical. We have our content page on the webquilt, as well as zines and some food to takeaway. To visit /var/kitchen is to embark on a culinary journey. The digital cooking experience takes place through the web interface. You are welcome to experiment with applying different preparatory methods to different ingredients. On the one hand it is possible to relocate items from inside the fridge. To interact with the filesystem, move ingredients from the fridge to the bin or stove directories with the 'mv' command. On the other hand, it is possible to cook a chickpea curry recipe from inside a python interface. You are encouraged to figure out the key words for cooking the recipe by deciphering the method in the digital Zine. Don't worry if you get stuck, the secret steps for making chickpea curry are located at the end of the Zine. The zine itself draws parallels between ingredients in the recipe, feminist servers and data centres. For example, tomatoes are analgous to web servers, whilst chillies are like firewalls and onions are like VPNs. These ingredients are made of ascii art and there are discriptions below when you read the zine. Moreover, we have printed copies of the zine and the webquilt is accessible over the internet. If someone is busy cooking, we invite you to join them in making something together. Technically, The Greasy Chip is made possible thanks to a variety of Free / Libre and Open Source Software. For example, Xterm.js, a javascript library for making TTYs. As well as the Nginx web server, the linux background task manager (Systemd), various Web-languages and Python. And remember to keep an eye on our head chef, the printer in the corner.

⭑Methods
  1. To begin, heat some oil in the pan along with the onions and chillies. Ensure to stir the pan.
  2. Combine the peeled garlic, ginger, pureed tomatoes and leftover oil in a blender along with the contents of the pan. Season with the herbs, spices and salt before blending the ingredients into a smooth paste.
  3. Heat the contents of the blender in the pan and stir. Cook for a couple of minutes.
  4. Add the chickpeas and tomatoes to the pan. Stir and allow to simmer for five minutes so that it can reduce.
  5. Heat the coconut in the pan for five minutes, maybe with a splash of water. Mix in the spinach and allow to wilt.
  6. Garnish with chopped coriander and a squeeze of lemon, dish up and serve with dhal or rice.
