Let me plug it into google scholar Okay, let me click the first result listed, a review. It praises the fact that the website is easy to use and summarizes a bunch of earlier works, but then continues to say "it is fraught with countless, fundamental problems and drawbacks of different types." Well, okay, let's look through the rest of the page. Next is someone's thesis on how Etymonline could be converted into an actual digital library, and the benefits of doing so. Followed by two papers which use it as a fancier 'Mirram-Webster Defines MYTOPIC As...' intro. Oh, well certainly your website gets cited a lot more, I bet it has a ton more google scholar hits than wiktionary, right? "Wiktionary" only has 16,200 results, which is much smaller and less important to the industry than Etymonline's 12,300. So yeah dude, chill with the bragging and kramering in, it isn't impressing anyone. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

FWIW, my older relatives when I was growing up used "receipts," and even my parents switched between receipts and recipes depending upon the conversation. But I have a receipt that I am curious about - it's this 18th century one for A Savoury and Nourishing Food at a Cheap Rate (transcribed in the Clwyd Cookbook). It is straightforward enough, not dissimilar to stovies, and I'd be tempted to cut the quantities down and try it - but I don't typically include meat and am wondering what the best substitute might be. I often just leave the meat out of receipts/recipes but this one looks like it needs something for texture and protein. Thoughts?

I did some googling on vegan pot roast substitutes, assuming you'd want something pot roast-adjacent, and jackfruit and portobello mushrooms came up. Also apparently there's a company that actually does vegan beef tips (Gardein) though I feel like that'd definitely take the savory and nourishing food out of the cheap rate.

I'd go with mushrooms too - cooking that beef for 5 hours is gonna result in a flavorful stew/sauce and putting in a mix of both fresh and dried mushrooms might get you to a similar place in terms of texture and richness of flavor.

Ooh, yes, mushrooms sound perfect. Very nice! I will try that. Thank you! At some point I need to become better acquainted with jackfruit. None of my local stores carry it, so I'll have to make an expedition (or order online) to get some eventually.

TofuDiva posted:Ooh, yes, mushrooms sound perfect. Very nice! I will try that. Thank you! Jackfruit's pretty cool; the restaurant I used to work at offered faux "chicken" nuggets made with the canned stuff. Once you breaded and deep-fried the chunks, the texture was surprisingly similar. Since most of the flavor comes from the seasoned breading anyways, and we served it with bbq sauce to dip in, it fooled a couple of the employees when my KM was doing test-runs and just said "hey, wanna try these new nuggets?" (note: this was imo a dick move she used to do; as a haver of allergies I do not approve of tricking people into eating something without telling them wtf it is) If you have an Asian grocer anywhere around you, that's where we sourced ours from. They actually had fresh, whole ones, but fuuuuck prepping that, so we used canned cubes. I agree with the mushroom idea, though, that's gonna bring the meaty umami to the table. Jackfruit's good on body/texture, but not so much flavor.

Good tip, thanks - I will check at the nearest one. Got another recipe/receipt from the same Clwyd Cookbook (I may be developing an obsession with that book). Walnut Ketchup - has anyone made such a thing? I do not have a source for unripe walnuts, have no idea what they taste like, and am wondering how messed up the finished product would be if I used regular ones. Just at a guess, I'd think that unripe ones would be more tannin-y than the fully ripened ones, but I dunno. Years ago there was a black walnut tree that I used to raid, but alas, it is no longer accessible.

It sounds like something out of a dystopian novel but is dirt-cheap and very good as a substitute for recipes that want cubed beef or chicken. Depending on what kind of broth you use to reconstitute it it can serve as either.

I very much do not miss having a black walnut tree, roots of the damned thing broke my patterned concrete patio like a saltine, while also staining it from above and generally encouraging squirrels. Just a constant mess everywhere. Also receipts were invented by Beyonce in 2015 so put that in your linguistic pipe hole and smoke it.

Shooting Blanks posted:Voting for "Curious Effects of the Imagination" Yeah, she was really fuckin' weird about that. Whenever she'd go to the Asian market, she'd bring back some sort of surprise back for us, usually innocuous treat like green tea candies or Pocky or whatnot. One time she brought back and fried up these little "meat" nuggets and passed some around asking everyone "have you ever had duck? try it, tell me what you think!" Me being pretty food savvy, I could tell right away it was the Chinese mock duck made from seitan. I rushed to tell one of my co-workers "don't eat the 'duck'!" because I knew she had a legit gluten allergy and would've been making GBS threads her pants the rest of the shift. We also made our own peanut butter in house, that was one of my prep jobs. KM was well aware that one of the other cooks, Pat, had a peanut allergy --- she'd be the first to tell new hires that fact. But I swear she always tasked me with making it when Pat was also working. I'd even say "why don't I do this tomorrow when Pat's off, so y'know, there's not peanut dust flying out the top of the robo-coup?" Never got a good answer. I think she was trying to kill all of us, or maybe just had a case of brain worms (she's an out lesbian who voted for Trump, so... you be the judge). Just one of many reasons I don't work there anymore. Sorry for the derail! (But at least it's about food and not etymology)
