That makes sense, I figured it had to be something going straight through like that. No idea what that stuff tastes like.

Every ancient culture: "In order to eat my wheat I insist that it be foamed"

Someone once brought a weird pudding with whole wheat kernels in it to a work potluck I was at. It was one of the best things I've ever eaten, I want to eat more wheat served like rice.

Yea it's just unflavored konnyaku shaped into grains. It has basically no nutritional value on its own beyond fiber.

tastes like nothing. I think it's mainly targeted at people who don't want to eat carbs but still want to eat rice or noodles.

the anti food porn of that stuff, at least what I've experienced, is it smells like a dead fish out of the package. you have to rinse it to get the funk off. maybe the process has been improved since then, I haven't had it in a while.

Yeah konnyaku has a very weird smell/taste that you get rid of by boiling it before adding it to whatever. There's also the grey stuff which has some kind of flavoring added, I think it's a seaweed.

Plant based rice, finally.

Ben and Jerry's used to make a cinnamon buns flavor that was absolutely delicious. I don't eat much ice cream anymore but I haven't seen that flavor in several years.

I bought a pint of the Oatmeal Cream Pie one, my roommate devoured it, and I haven't found them in stores since.

You can also try freekeh, which is durum wheat that’s harvested while still green. They set the piles on fire to separate the wheat from the chaff :black101:

Savory cheesecakes are very underrated as a food subcategory. There was a brief fad for them in the late 90s, and I still miss them. I make a great mushroom cheesecake with fresh rosemary and a crushed-pretzel crust.

this is probably from Knife Crime Island and is frozen so I assume it's garbage but I'd absolutely gently caress with a baked bean pizza, like, in other contexts

I'm reminded of Famine in Good Omens working in part by making food that literally had no nutritional value at all:

quote:

indistinguishable from any other [food] except for […] the nutritional content, which was roughly equivalent to that of a Sony Walkman. It didn’t matter how much you ate, you lost weight. […] And hair. And skin tone. And, if you ate enough of it long enough, vital signs.

The color difference is due to the ingredients. Grey konnyaku includes seaweed powder, which gives its dark color. Originally, konnyaku was made with raw yam, so it had a natural brown/grey color from the yam skin. While nowadays, konnyaku is made with processed powder, the addition of seaweed powder mimics the original production method.

Is this even really edible? I understand if you're a caveman trying to survive you'll eat every bit of the buffalo but in tyool 2023 is there any need for this beyond shock value?

Sure it's edible. China in particular likes to eat the more "recognizable" parts of animals more readily than us squeamish burger-eating americans, but I think eating genitalia is commonly done with the belief that it could help the libido.

For more practical purposes, weirder and less common cuts of meat generally are less expensive, which can encourage people to find ways to use them. But the way that asia is so positive about the cuts of meat that we don't like here in America means that chickenfeet are a major export from the US to China.
