And likely never will. It may not be feasible to grow those beans (and other foods that seem to have a terroir aspect) unless & until their natural environments experience some kind of damage. Those environments have an advantage…

Mod Note: I get what you’re saying, but that’s a very confrontational way of expressing yourself. Do better.

Mod Note: Your use of loaded rhetoric may be obscuring your message. Try to avoid terms like “woke” unless you’re absolutely clear that it’s not your personal word choice. Got it?

We usually just add more dairy. I use a bunch of butter, sub a little milk for water, and add 2-3 kinds of cheese. What I DON’T understand and reject every time is sweet grits, and it’s bizzaro world cousin, savory oatmeal.

Upon further investigation, it IS a thing. However, it’s probably of more recent origins, or more recently being highlighted as a known variant. But to be honest, I’m not totally surprised that it exists. People experiment with recipes, and familial or regional variations pop up. No joke...

Tangent on video stores: I rarely used my Blockbuster membership, and the last time I was in a video rental store, it was a small family run business in Austin. And it was the weirdest one I’ve EVER been in. You see, I wasn’t in there to rent movies. ??? I was looking for a rockstar &...

I’d be on that, hard! I’m still getting some stuff at my local Farmers’ Market, including things I put on sandwiches. Recently, I’ve been making faux pastrami Reubens with one vendor’s pickled red cabbage instead of sauerkraut. Their product is slightly sweet, so it’s a little departure...

Maybe I’m misunderstanding…. Okra? In maque choux? That’s a new one on me. Traditionally, macque choux is made either with corn or green beans, some (LOTS of) butter, plus some onions, tomato, peppers and either bacon or ham, then seasoned with salt & pepper. (Personally, I greatly prefer...

You may be thinking of California’s sourdough. I’ve had some good sourdough breads in Europe and other parts of America, but the stuff I had in Cali had a definite tanginess I’ve rarely tasted elsewhere.

Mod Note: Please, don’t go further down this well-trodden road to ruin. It will not end well for you.

Man, there used to be an incredible pho shop where I used to live (Irving, Tx) back in the 1980s. Best I’ve ever had- flavorful, aromatic…just perfection. Unfortunately, they only lasted a few months. The food wasn’t the problem, though. The owner/operator was a recent immigrant from...

While terroir may not be hard science, there’s definitely something going on. In all likelihood, there’s some trace element or overlooked critter involved in the creation & fermentation of the cheese- and many other foods- that cheese makers elsewhere haven’t accounted for. And it doesn’t...

“Into these sands were born…”

Mod Note: And this is over the line. You know better.

Mod Note: This thread veering pretty heavily into not just politics, but politics less germane to the main conversation. There’s also an uptick in making things personal- again, problematic. Let’s get things back on track, please. If not, we’ll have to escalate moderation of this thread.

I’m not a fan of beets, except in borscht. Limas are good in certain preparations, but not most. I’m a fan of Brussels sprouts in many recipes, savory or savory/sweet.

I’d say yes, but if it’s sealed, that’s a calzone, and thus, a hand pie.

Oh great. Alien LLMs coming to assimilate our data. Despite my previous prediction, it won’t be Bored Ape that does them in. Instead, they’ll be corrupted by our conspiracy/fringe theorists, and start going after each other based on them. The unaffected ones will try to get the others to...
