  1. I don't want to make my own malt... I even have some mystery grain that came up in my straw... you need a large quantity of viable grains and they do this shit commercially so you can just buy it... this isn't a zombie apocolypce.

  2. wonder if it has more to do with rubbing meat with spices keeping bugs off of meat that's drying or sitting around or w.e... and there are more bugs and bug borne illnesses in warmer areas. they still do this sort of thing when making some sort of air cured ham, especially on the bone ends... supposedly if you don't there's some bug that'll burrow into the bone and eat the ham from the inside out. I vaguely remember watching a thing about it :P I assume this is also why many cured deli meats are either covered with a layer of smoke, herbs, or spices. the food purity issues in northern europe around the time of the industrial revolution also probably played a part in those people favoring less flavorful food that would be easier to hide adulterants in.

  3. never seen a chicken soup with zuchinni in it :P

  4. so that's why fig newtons suck now...

  5.  @Elbrasch  I used to have a decent one til the thermostat on it went... it's not that hard to use a cast iron pan anyways and there's more surface area for the steam to escape resulting in crispier fried things.

  6. what butter? and that just seems like the intuitive way to cut zucchini :P

  7. green/white is also generally less risky than black/red...

  8. idk why people have to be either all uptight PH measuring or anti-vinegar... I just make a pleasant tasting salty brine with vinegar and it's never failed me.

  9. frozen veggies might even be healthier since they can be picked when they're actually ripe...

  10. that old coal room would probably make a decent root/wine cellar.

  11. fat soluble vitamins are a thing.... seems to me like there would be more of those things, and more of a balance of them in fats from an organism that ate all of those plants. kinda like positive bio accumulation.

  12. speaking of gravy v.s. sauce... I wasn't sure what to call that liquid component of an indian curry, according to the folks at the indian restaurant they call it gravy. I'd have said sauce, but there ya go. to me gravy has always been a separate condiment, if it's part of a dish it's a sauce to me... unless it's poutine, that's still gravy.

  15. figured it had something to do with prohibition...

  16. just look at the ingredients?

  17.  @JorgTheElder  quit spreading BS yourself. literally everything you can read about cast iron says DO NOT USE THEM FOR ACIDIC SAUCES!

  18.  @ploppyjr2373  it might... lol

  19. but why does cilantro smell like a pool?

  20. 4:30 sounds like an unpayed internship to me... also another reason to have a minimum threshold for partnership outside of potential abuse is simply because there's a cost associated with not only having someone review the channel, but transfer fees, accounting fees, taxes, and so on to actually transfer someone money and it would end up costing them money to transfer a million people 1-3 cents. it's not really viable not to have a threshold.

  21. meh, I add the salt after the water comes to a boil because of the supposed lower boiling point so I'm sure the water is sufficiently hot. even if it doesn't lower the boiling point it makes it look like it is and I use my eyes to judge when water is boiling. edit: and I don't add it sooner because it's easier to dissolve things in hot water...

  22. so it's traditionally made in a dutch oven... which is traditionally made of cast iron... but don't use cast iron? what?

  23. isn't folding a form of mixing? I just see it as a way to convey the idea that you should carefully combine the ingredients. it makes sense you can whip it in with an electric beater though, it's the same process you used to make the eggs fluffy.... they just continue to use the term "fold" because the french probably... they like to use out-dated terms.

  24. white potatoes? as opposed to what? red potatoes? which also have white flesh... you've gotta try pretty hard to find a potato with flesh that isn't white.

  25. I've never had mold grow on my brines... only on thicker fermented sauces after sitting in the fridge for like 6+ months and even then usually only on the sides of the jar where condensation can dilute the brine..

  26. why not just do what canada does and legally require both on labeling then leave it up to the people which one they want to use in any given situation... it's not that hard. you just build with a 2x4, drink a 750ML bottle of cola (or a liter if you're really thirsty :P), and buy fabric by the meter...

  27. it's not entirely accurate that baking powder creates all of the CO2 instantly. originally acid/base reactions in cooking did that, and you'd have to keep everything separate until the last second and then throw it all together and throw it in the oven before it stopped reacting (probably why we still mix wet and dry ingredients and then combine them)... but one of the main differences and advantages of baking powder specifically over baking soda is that the base is in a form that delays and prolongs the reaction (as well as containing it's own acid) so you have more time to get things together.

  28. $200 off? how expensive is this block of foam they're calling a bed?!

  29. you'd think the fact that most meat people historically ate in some cultures was salted would suggest that it's not a big deal.

  30. is it called that because you're killing the pasta?

  31. most powdered sugar contains corn starch as an anti-caking agent... it can make it not really ideal for some things like syrups and I guess meringue edit: and you added corn starch to your sauce anyways. could have just used powdered sugar lol

  32. looks more like a meat lump to me...

  33. just think of the billions of yeasts they had to kill to make that one little jar of marmite!!

  34. seems like a bit of a waste of asparagus there.

  35. I mean, if I were to make slaw myself without buying a bag of over-priced pre-cut greens I'd simply make the amount I want and have left-over ingredients? not to mention those pre-cut bags have been sitting for days and there are almost always dried out and/or browning bits all through the bag

  36. getting kinda tired of people calling baked seasoned potatoes "fries"...

  37. THE CAKE IS A FAKE!!

  38. and mushy bread... and balls of boiled rice... and balls of other boiled grains... and probably other things that are called "pudding" seems to be a generic sort of term for any gelatinous amalgamation of stuff.

  39. ya no lumps don't always cook out... wouldn't eat pancakes for years because of little nuggets of baking soda.

  40. milk is natural ffs.. it's what the cow wants to do!! it's it convenient for vegans they've decided that delicious figs containing DEAD INSECTS are fine!

  41. I'd bet most fat people eat breakfast... if you're eating when you're not hungry because someone else said it was the thing to do it's probably not healthy.

  42. modern personal smokers are also indirect.

  43. OMG I NEED MOR MALTANUS!!

  44. what if I told you it doesn't really matter; you have to adjust for elevation anyways.... so sure measuring by weight is exact, but it only works if you happen to live at the same elevation and in the same climate with the same humidity as the location where the recipe was developed... so in short it's all arbitrary and measurements are just there to be more exact than "about that much".

  45. what are they doing now that reporters don't have a right to be there? censoring and deleting peoples comments online, that's what. >.>

  46. they say you're not supposed to eat under-ripe husk fruit...

  47. I like the format of a podcast sometimes, but not the execution of them in practice. I prefer to have a list of stream-able content rather than have itunes or w.e download a podcasts entire back-catalogue of several GB, or just not listen to the previous content and just start to download every episode as it comes out which, at least when I did it, ended up being several hundred MB each and consisting of at least 30% pausing and silence.

  48. except now there's another study that any more than 1-2 drinks per week is always definitely harmful? they're pushing that one real hard right now... >.>

  49. just gotta point out rinsing your mouth out with milk because it's alkaline is most likely not a great idea... baby bottle tooth decay is pretty well known issue.
