Which mythical deity / being would be the most enjoyable to snack upon? (lemmy.ml)

DO NOT READ IF SENSITIVE TOWARDS ANY MYTHOLOGY. People may speak of eating your favorite beings, please be prepared for such.

To start off, While I am a pescatarian, I think biblical angels would be delicious fried / grilled, specifically the ones who aren't high enough to be abstract shapes, as I do not think I can stomach a wheel.

The Flying Spaghetti Monster.

I've been off gluten for a while now for medical reasons and god damn this a thousand times. I would kill for some decent spaghetti.

All the gluten free ones are kinda shit.

I would imagine the FSM to be composed of the platonic ideal of gluten rather than physical gluten, though I'm not sure if that would be more irritating or less. I'd consult a GI and maybe a metaphysician.

Metaphysician here. The platonic ideal of gluten will induce the platonic ideal of diarrhea. Honestly I'm not going to call that a good trade, but that's an exercise for the reader.

Is there gluten in chickpeas? I kinda prefer it to regular

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Chickpeas are legumes and legumes don't have gluten. Although you should still check products because there might be crosd contam or added wheat in some products.

But yeah probably chickpea spaghetti can be found gluten free. I'll put it on the "to try" list, but I'm not too hopeful. I've tried a whole bunch and without that gluten in there, just can't get the consistency right enough for it to please me.

So I just got a rice cooker.

I'll warn you that it overcooks easily. Cook it for less time than normal pasta.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Huh maybe it might be okay then because the ones I've been using have had longer cook times and even when I played around with them, never got them nice.

Ty for the tips.
