He gradually adds 1Tbsp > 1/4 Cup > 1/2 Cup > 1 Cup sawdust to bread dough, bakes and eats them to see if the historical story of "unscrupulous" millers adding sawdust to flour undetected is viable. That's all in the first 7:30 This resolves a debate my husband and I had six years ago. Bill Bryson talks about adulterated foods in his book "At Home". After I read it, I asked my husband (who at the time was in his 10th year working as a baker at an artisanal bread bakery) if he thought sawdust bread would work. He said yes, because you can bake a loaf with a bunch of seeds or raisins or whatever and it rises fine. I said no way, because WHAT??? He also thought yeast was a bacteria, so apparently you don't actually need to know anything about bread to do the physical labor in making 500 lb batches.

Cellulose also helps you poop better if you're on a highly processed diet so who can really say if sawdust is bad for you.

TV Zombie posted:Can one eat a Canadian goose? Has any country’s cuisine tried? Canada geese are a staple food for some First Nations in Canada. Kids will get two weeks off school and a band-supplied flat of shotgun shells to go hunt geese during spring migration. They're incredibly greasy and don't taste that great, people render the fat and use it for all sorts of ceremonial and practical stuff. People also eat lots of endangered species. Peacocks can't survive here but I guess Harlequin duck is a decent substitute.

Rub goose grease on your chest like vicks vaporub to bring down a fever. I have no idea how getting greasy is supposed to help, but some folks used to swear by it.

Structurally, sawdust won't goop up and fuse together and stretch into chains as the yeast bubbles, but neither will like bran or cornmeal. The real trouble comes with when you're eating it and you've got a lot of wood in your mouth that won't break down like wheat. I think I've heard things about bread that got sand mixed into it leading to people grinding down their teeth. And of course, there's people out there on the internet that made sawdust bread. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTC_ETWa3JA It's a more fun experiment with rice crispies, to see how much sawdust you can put in before people notice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKDal51f5LU HelloIAmYourHeart posted:He also thought yeast was a bacteria, so apparently you don't actually need to know anything about bread to do the physical labor in making 500 lb batches. The exact difference between bacteria and other microorganisms is fairly abstract. I think most people wouldn't know the specific thing that separates prokaryotes and eukaryotes. I guess the most relevant difference is the fact that bacteria needs a host to reproduce, so you couldn't do the thing where you keep a culture of yeast as one eternal culture. Medically it can still infect you, so that blurs things more. You can also take the yeast from an infection and make it into bread. https://www.self.com/story/a-woman-is-getting-hate-mail-after-trying-to-bake-bread-with-vaginal-yeast

He did not find the comparison funny.

Many types of bacteria do not need a host to live. They can be grown in culture. Some bacteria only need a source of carbon, nitrogen and micronutrients to grow.

think they're thinking of viruses, which are obligate parasites, although they can be parasites of increasingly small poo poo down to bacteria

Sourdough has a mix of yeast and lactic acid bacteria that have teamed up to do a one two combo on the sugars in the dough, one breaks down the complex stuff and poops out smaller bits that the other feeds on. There is also a bread that is made with a bacteria that is one of the most common sources of food poisoning https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt-rising_bread SlothfulCobra posted:I think I've heard things about bread that got sand mixed into it leading to people grinding down their teeth. Not sure about sand but I'd imagine some places had weaker grindstones that would break down into grit much faster than others, I'm pretty sure people would have had a healthy trade for better hard wearing ones back in the day.

So many dumb but fun little anecdotes and factoids I learned by heart from that book as a language nerd teenager and had to spend the rest of my life unlearning Even on first read I knew some of it was bullshit and wrong but I figured, hey, they wouldn't let you just write a book and be wrong about everything e: just yesterday I was remembering his little impish rumplestiltskin-dance about "lol what if inert implied you could be full of ert?" and how annoyed I was that no, ert would be an adjective in that construction, not a noun, what the hell is going on here Data Graham has a new favorite as of 11:28 on Jan 26, 2024 |
