Some sailor that was like for the love of God can I please have ateast one. Biscuit that isn't cooked 7 times. Just cook it once please!

I’m fascinated by the existence of so many foods. Who decided to boil tree sap for 3 weeks to make maple syrup? Who agitated cows milk vigorously for 20 minutes to discover butter? Who saw cheese for the first time and decided to still eat moldy milk?

I thank those nameless humans for their service to society.

Who though to stab a tree and collect the juice? I want that mf knighted

[–] NottaLottaOcelot@lemmy.ca 3 points 14 minutes ago

Right? And trees that leak, like pines, have sap that tastes like absolute ass. You’d think they’d avoid tasting tree sap at all costs

blue cheese was discovered from a guy eating lunch in a cave, and leaving it unfinished to go talk to a pretty girl. when he came back months later the cheese had molded into blue cheese and he ate it and it was good

[–] AffineConnection@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

months later
the cheese had molded
he ate it

What a moron.

Just wait until you try doubled fried french fries. It's the only way i eat then now.

[–] CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago

Every potato should be cooked twice. It's the correct way

Answer: people said the crust was the best part of the bread. How can we get crust on more of the bread? Slice the bread and bake it again.

[–] EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 5 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

And then you have those people who cut the crust off bread.

[–] mossberg590@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

That proves my point. Do they toast their bread? Do they cut the crust off their toast?

[–] EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 3 points 3 hours ago

Croutons have entered the chat

In Germany we call bland white bread "toast bread" because it can only taste good when toasted.

[–] thethunderwolf@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

I also often call it that (I'm Polish-British)

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, what we call "bread" in the US is "toast bread" in Germany. I've heard stories of Germans going to US supermarkets and wondering where the real crusty bread is.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I’ve heard stories of Germans going to US supermarkets and wondering where the real crusty bread is.

Most US grocery stores I've been to have that too. Usually an entire bakery section filled with freshly baked bread.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 hours ago

The bigger ones do, yeah, but EVERY place doesn't like in Germany.

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 8 points 4 hours ago

Probably first did it to kill off mold

I'd be interested to know if toast came before the end of the frequent consumption of stale bread.

Many of our recipes are based around using and eating stale bread, and in modern times require you to toast bread as most don't keep bread that has gone stale.

If you think of things like French Onion Soup, that traditionally used stale bread, not toasted bread.

So I wonder if toasting was a way to compensate for not having stale bread, or if folks were in fact toasting bread long before the norms changed.

[–] trollercoaster@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 hours ago

Toasting does freshen up stale baked goods somewhat. When the necessity to eat stale bread vanished, people started toasting non stale bread, because they liked the taste of toasted bread.

I like to buy Chewy Chips Ahoy!™ and then finish cooking them.

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

You're gonna lose your mind when you find out about the original Chips Ahoy!™ in the blue package.

[–] Kaerkob@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Available wherever cookies are sold!

Has anyone tried cooking it again? Projections show an incredible increase in flavor!

It's remarkable how England and English colonies have a whole variety of thick slabs of batter that they consider ’food’.

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 6 points 4 hours ago

Yeah it does look a bit thin

I learned the other day that British have a delicacy called the toast sandwich which consists of a slice of toasted white bread between two slices of untoasted white bread with optional butter in between.

[–] Velypso@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 hours ago

The brits really do be eatin like the kaiser is still bangin down their door.

Sweden: hold my sandwich cake!

Smörgås tårta.

[–] Redfox8@mander.xyz 4 points 7 hours ago

I've not heard of anyone else making such a thing, but not surprised it does exist. However, I can 1-up that with my childhood creation - the triple fold sandwich. One slice of buttered bread, one slice of buttered toast & one slice of butter fried bread. Fold each one in half, overlapping half of the adjacent piece. You get a mix of three different bready textures & flavours in each bite. I haven't made it in a few decades so I may not enjoy it so much now, but it was good at the time!

As a Brit I’ve never heard of such a thing. Sounds awful like putting a pie on a muffin (bread roll, barm cake) 🤮

An 1861 recipe says to add salt and pepper to taste.

Woah, slow down there Guy Fieri.

More of a wartime rationing delicacy.

try making a loaf of bread with like 6-12 tbsp of chestnut honey, specifically chestnut. Eat some fresh but let it cool and toast it after. It goes with everything and it smells amazing. I eat it with ice cream for an unparalleled ice cream sandwich that make those store bought bricks look and taste like dirt in comparison.

It's crazy because chestnut honey smells and tastes kinda not food like IMO. Like a mouthful of worn pantyhose that has done an office shift and then inhale through the nose. Not saying I've done that but that's just the image I have in my head from trying chestnut honey on its own.

[–] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 1 points 48 minutes ago (1 children)

Get a load of this guy who has beehives in entire groves of chestnut trees.

[–] Grass@sh.itjust.works 1 points 13 minutes ago

I wish, except kinda not really because chestnuts are gross. Back when I worked in a grocery store chestnuts were a decidedly rare item to see people buying too.

[–] swab148@startrek.website 6 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

How'd you find my diary?

[–] Grass@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 hours ago

I've been waiting for a large portion of my life for someone who has tried chestnut honey to confirm or deny but chestnut honey is really rare here and I also can't confirm if there are multiple types of chestnut tree that would result in different flavour or aroma. I had two 1L jars of the honey from Slovenia, and one smaller jar from Italy several years later though so I expect it to be fairly consistent even from different hives.

Even without comparing them to anything, it's an accurate description.
