Barf

No. That's stomach stew.

Bone tea. You gotta steep it a few hours, though.

I prefer mine with onions and root vegetables, but my mind is open.

A spritz of apple juice might actually work quite well in chicken broth.

That's when she whispers after "leave it in a while".

You joke but beef tea is a real thing in the UK

marmite and bovril... two products I just cannot fucking fathom how they made it to shelves...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Because people like them and buy them? I mean sure, you don't, but it's not so mysterious.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

mum was of the opinion that “we have Vegemite at home” when what we had was Dick Smith’s Ozemite.

haha wow thank you for the insight!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

I also can't fathom how they stayed on the shelves after Vegemite was invented. It's the superior black toast tar.

And I'm not just saying that because I'm Australian and eat Vegemite off a spoon.

I was raised on Marmite, and promite, and I found them disgusting. Genuinely thought all the black yeast biproducts were the same, mum was of the opinion that "we have Vegemite at home" when what we had was Dick Smith's Ozemite.

Was introduced to name brand Vegemite in my late teens and finally understood why this product has survived capitalism. It's so fucking good.

I've never tried bovril (was raised vegetarian, and developed an alpha-gal allergy later in life), but I've definitely tried every application you can think of for Vegemite - it's good in gravy, including making a vegetarian "beef tea" and "Vegemite cordial" for hot days.

That's more like meat coffee. It has a kick.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Ah yes, the animal we eat with just one hole for pee and poo and eggs.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago (4 children)

But we don't eat the hole.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

We don't? Brb

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

Speak for yourself

Wait until you see what nuggets are.

It's called a Pope's Nose or Bishop's Nose lol

Love me some broth as a warm drink.

Chowder is a hot ocean latte with fish croutons.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Hot ocean milk with dead animal croutons.

A savory latte with bugs in it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Better get used to bugs as food, though. The next protein we're gonna see is insect, and my bet's cricket.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Why eat bugs when you could eat lentils?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

You ever try to subsist on legume protein? 💨

My fiancee is a chef and hates this.

A brothy one.

Beer is just cold, fermented herbal tea.

In other words: Beer is a cousin of kombucha...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

mayo is egg jam

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago
[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Not in here mister, this is a mercedes.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

It's mostly bone tea.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago
[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Not tea, but heat extracted juice. And milk is just cold pressed juice.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Tea is just hot leaf juice. Both are diluted with water (tea and broth, that is).

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Fair enough.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Only corpse milk is cold pressed

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

mayonnaise is just whipped chicken embryo.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It's whipped oil, not embryo.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Proper traditional French mayo is 70-80% oil. Shit mayo from the shop actually has less fat, usually 65% for "full fat" versions and 30-40% for "low calorie" bull shit. Reduced fat content is achieved by adding unnecessary shit like starch. So yeah, mayo, as in real proper mayo, is a whipped oil, not egg.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

According to my (parisian) cooking school, they managed to do 70 litres of oil with a single egg yolk while experimenting. Then it became too impractical and they had to stop.

Bones, i appreciate your posts but I think you're completely missing the point with your titles; meat tea is awesome.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Bones is vegan so unfortunately it's gross to me, but you enjoy yourself!

[–] captain_aggravated 1 points 4 months ago

Salty bird water.
