Never eaten rabbit actually.

Would like some.

It's really good, and incredibly lean. To the point where people who lived off of rabbit meat suffered from malnutrition from not getting enough fats in their diet.

This is pretty much the entire reason why you can't get rabbit meat anywhere. Recently Whole Foods actually got boycotts for carrying rabbit meat, because even though it's good for you and way more sustainable that pretty much any other kind of livestock out there bunnies are cute.

That looks like deviled eggs made with avocado as the fat instead of mayo, it's a nice change of pace since it gives them a much smoother, gooeyer texture.

Now I want to make avocado deviled eggs with beet-pickled eggs just to make the most :catdrugs: color palette possible.

It's another name for low-carb, I remember it from our glorious low-carb thread. The idea is to force your body to derive energy from fat instead of sugars (ketosis) by eating lots of fats and zero sugars. Possible side effects of a careless low-carb diet include malnutrition, high blood cholesterol and terrible body odor

I've got a record this year of eating international military rations. So far I've eaten every American ration available (including the freeze dried MCW and LRP rations that you never see anywhere), British, Lithuanian, Ukrainian, and currently Russian. Just about all of them turn out looking like anti-food porn, but they vary widely in taste and amenities. As much as soldiers make fun of American MREs, they're easily some of the best in terms of taste and texture. Lithuanian MRE clones are likewise pretty nice and even have some quality Lithuanian chocolate.

Ukrainian is the worst. One meal usually gets you nothing but a can of meat or kasha similar in appearance to that monstrosity, a pack full of crackers (which have inevitably gone stale in the cellophane), and a packet of crystallized tea and brown sugar to pour in your mug of hot water. I'll see what I can pull up for this thread.

The US military shares all of the food technology they develop for MREs with the private sector so that if we ever go to war they'll already be equipped to start churning them out for the war effort, and as a result a lot of processed food is now made with military technology; if you've ever made macaroni and cheese with a powdered cheese mix or put freeze-dried coffee in a mug of hot water then you're basically one step removed from actual military rations.

A good write-up, and also relevant to the thread in parts.



Ozmoroni, processed pepperoni dehydrated via osmosis to make it shelf-stable as part of the ongoing effort to make a pizza MRE.

Back in my heavy drinking and partying days I decided that a cheaper version of Four Loko was bottom shelf vodka, store brand soda, and caffeine pills. Everything generally went as horribly as it did when I drank Four Loko, so it was a success I guess?

Energy drinks don't usually have much more caffeine than a cup of coffee, it's all the bull bile/herbs/legal speed they put in it that gives it that kick.

It's been my understanding that that is all marketing bullshit and the caffeine is really the only stuff in those energy drinks that actually does anything. A brief google search seems to support this.

An 8oz can of red bull only has 80mg of caffeine, a 16oz can of Rockstar has 160mg of caffeine, and a 5 Hour Energy shot has 200mg of caffeine. By comparison, an 8oz cup of coffee has about 100mg of caffeine and a caffeine pill has 200mg. If it was just the caffeine then a large cup of coffee or a single caffeine pill would give people the exact same effects.

I always hated steak too due to the eastern North Dakota style steak that I grew up with. Take a lovely cut of meat, full of gristle, and cook it for half an hour with no fat or seasoning. Once nice and leathery, attack it with a butterknife for hours to get a piece cut off. Chew said piece for an hour and then give up and spit it out. I remember getting steak when I was in pre-school (it was in a nursing home so we ate what the residents ate), and I had to learn to swallow the pieces whole as they simply couldn't be chewed.

Until I was a teenager, I though that steak was supposed to be like that and refused it when offered. At the time, I preferred to go hungry than to eat that shoe leather. Then one day my uncle grilled steaks at his place and asked me how I wanted mine. I bit the bullet and said "Rare" so I wouldn't look like a pussy.

It was the best thing I'd ever eaten. The moral is, never trust your family to teach you to cook. My father still gets upset when I make pork chops because they're "pink". He believes all meat should be grey.

For me it was corn on the cob and hard-boiled eggs, because they would overcook them and make hard unpleasant corn and rubbery eggs with green-grey yolks. The first time I ever had a boiled egg made the proper way it was incredible.


Meat thermometers are awesome, everyone should use one.

Coulrophobia (fear of clowns) literally did not exist until like 50 years ago and even then is mostly restricted to America but it still doesn't stop hack listicle writers from busting out the :biotruths: to try and rationalize it. Evopsych in general goes against pretty much everything our current understanding of the brain says, it's just extra stupid when people are trying attach biological origins to phobias that sprung into existence in our lifetimes.

If you're on a low-carb diet they're like the one salty snack you can still enjoy. Plus you can crunch them up and use them as a low-carb substitute for breading on meats :jerky:
