I don’t think I’ve made a post on here about food, so here goes! 😃

I’ll go first…I just love eating uncooked pasta. It has such a satisfying crunch and the tomato pasta and wholewheat pasta are my faves! This has been a habit that I’ve had ever since I’ve had teeth and people are always surprised that I haven’t damaged my teeth doing this. I enjoy pasta cooked too!

    Beetroot juice and beetroot based dishes, pikled lemons and other citrus fruits, sweet meat.

    I like to experiment with food in general, try some old recipes like before american vegetables old.

      Beetroot is great when winter comes round. It fits so well in those hearty roasted dishes

      What do you think of Max Miller’s youtube channel?

        I have somewhat mixed opinions on Max Miller; his acting is a bit over the top, and history fragments sometimes have weird details that he had misunderstood during research or misread. I would have liked his videos a lot more if he actually talked about the history of the recipe more and not something tangentially related to it. In general he is ok. 🙃

          That makes sense. Not something to be taken too seriously, but a bit of fun engagement with the past in a space where it’s not hurting anyone if the details are wonky

      I learned only relatively recently that borsch (which I love for the beets) was originally made without beets. I still haven’t found a recipe I like and we don’t get sorrel here.

        You can grow sorrel at home, if you really like it.

        Histrically borshch probably was a name for anything that was more or less drinkable and non-alcoholic, there were no original recipe, like there is no original recipe for other common dishes, they were just made with whatever was available and whatever people ate at the time. AFAIK there are similar dishes in countries that were part of lithuanian commonwelth, which were based on different kinds of kvass as well.

        Personally I really dislike kvass based borshch, like it’s vile. 😄

        I only know sweetbread from Dwarf Fortress, and still have no idea why it’s called that.

        Edit: And sweetened bread can be called sweetmeat, WTF?
