Only issue is that kimchi is made to be preserved, and most of the reason store bought stuff is bad is because of the preservation techniques. So I can definitely see store bought kimchi holding its own.

Banana on pizza is fine if you switch tomato sauce for chocolate syrup, remove cheese and other savoury bits. In fact throw that shit away and instead do a beaver tails. Then banana is fine.

I've never had banana on pizza, but I assume it's at least in part based on "Flying Jacob" (casserole with chicken, bananas, and chilli sauce or curry), which is delicious. I guess I'll have to try a banana pizza next time. Certainly can't be worse than pineapple.

Its similar to pineapple where it balances a salt-forward dish with sweetness (also similar to tomato on a pizza but people have preconceived notions so that comparison goes over most heads). Many latin american cuisines also use bananas, plantains, and yucca to do the same to salty dishes.

As a sober person, I personally love that there are more NA options coming out. 10/15 years ago it was O'Douls and that was it. Now every large brewery has an NA, the crafts are making em, NA spirits etc. I hope we keep getting more options.

I do it because its fun, and I usually do it when I get a whole heap of cheap/free cabbage that would otherwise be thrown away. There's easier recipes too though they usually arent as delicious, and once you have a good starter you can also do away with a bunch of the cautions you'd otherwise have to mind.

Big fan of making homemade kimchi here too, usually do like 1-2 Liter jars, they last a long time cos we don't eat it that often, I prefer it really spicy, which I haven't found an adequately spicy version yet in stores. That thing lasts me a good few months before I have to restock lol

ok northernlion i'm gonna contest you on the kimchi. I live in vancouver: -dried shrimp: $5~ a bag -nappa cabbage: $.99/lb -gojuchang: 5.99 500g -gojugaru: 7.99 or less 500g -green onions .99c bundle -rice starch: 3.99/lb altogether you use all of the cabbage and a little bit of each item so you end up spending like $3 per portion of kimchi opposed to $8-10 store bought.
Store-bought stuff is optimized for profit first and foremost. It's the minimum quality to get you to come back routinely for the cheapest possible price. Some homemade stuff is worthwhile, other stuff isn't. I wouldn't make homemade baklava, but I'd make homemade curry.

Nl worryingly misguided on the whole probiotic vs fermented stuff science
NL is making the wrong argument when it comes to store bought vs homemade food. Homemade food is in aggregate much better than store bought in terms of quality and taste, the trade-off is about convenience and possibly quantity. For me personally the trade-off of having to plan, buy the ingredients and then work for an extended amount of time in the kitchen to make the dish (and having to clean up afterwards) for a potentially 8/10+ meal that i'm going to finish in 5-10 minutes just isn't worth it compared to buying it store-bought, heating it up and then just eating it for a 4/10 to 6/10 meal. If the trade-off is worth it to you, then i'm honestly envious of and happy for you.
@kyleyjs
6 ай бұрын
the trade-off is very deceiving. The better you get in the kitchen and with each recipe in general the less time you'll spend in the kitchen. At some point you'll spend 30 minutes in the kitchen throwing on a curry and rice and walk back in close to 2 hours later to prep 5 meals in 10 minutes. The best part is you have a bunch of meals that enter the realm of comfort food, food that tastes great and makes you feel good as well. I really wouldn't underestimate the value of knowing you can eat great meals throughout the week and not have a day of having an upset stomach, clean poops, a lot of energy, clear skin etc.

@@kyleyjs I agree that kitchen work is front-loaded, but that's exactly the problem if you're already an adult learning the skill. It's hard to justify spending time and money up front for a skill many people don't strictly need when you're working, commuting, and maintaining your home already. It's a privilege to have not had to learn cooking as a child, but it is equally a privilege to have the time, resources, and equipment to learn it as an adult. Compare it to the Peloton if you want an Egg-based analogue.

The factory HAS been working on their recipe for generations, but not to make it better. Just to make it cheaper. Homemade with fresh ingredients is always better. The question whether to buy store is only about if the quality improvement is worth the time investment, the effort, and getting the ingredients. For stuff that benefits from the economy of scale in commercial batches, like kimchi, it often isn't, but that doesn't mean the quality improvement wouldn't exist.

I wanted to take a second to comment on the store bought vs homemade kimchi thing. I understand that the website was only made to siphon ad revenue off people making the food but its not like the kimchi factory was lovingly perfecting the recipe out of the goodness of their heart. Sure, its formulated for sales but its also formulated to serve profit incentives. Everything you buy is only as good to consume as it is cheap to make. Everything is made as cheaply as it can while some demographic will still buy it. At least with a recipe you can get the idea of how to make it and tailor it to your own tastes.
All these -2 andys out here thinking they're gonna be God's gift to food by googling the first recipe for fermented cabbage and honestly probably spending more to make it too

I can tell you the problem(s) with kombucha without watching the video: It smells like stinky gym socks and the mild feeling of well-being it can provide is actually just a light buzz from the 1-2% alcohol it contains.

My brother has been dealing with a gut bacterial overgrowth for over a year due to drinking too much kombucha and keifer. It can be good in moderation but don't assume it's healthy to overindulge, much like pretty much anything else
I had Kombucha once and gagged REALLY hard. I almost threw up. It was NASTY. It tasted like mint toothpaste mixed with coleslaw.
-2, Kombucha definitely way better then Coke/Coke zero. Can't argue on the pricing part though, hard to drink often cuz of that

@karlklein2263

@thaDjMauz this is sort of a tricky question to answer, but a valid one. I'll do my best to not throw jargon into it. Essentially, like anything else, in moderation kombucha is perfectly fine and a good way to get prebiotics. For lack of a more elegant way to put it. It's also a lot for your kidneys to filter out. Caffeine, many times sugar, and the smidgen of alcohol are all things your kidneys are going to have to filter out. It just so happens those 3 things also increase blood pressure which when excessive can have many bad effects related to your arteries. This begs the question of "how does it compare to an orange mocha Frappuccino from starbucks?". Well simply put that drink is murder on your kidneys and liver as well. Are you eating a healthy diet? A kombucha every other day or so is fine. Are you eating trash piled on trash? Kombucha is not going to save you and might contribute to knock on effects from poor diet. I hope that was helpful.
