Am I a retard for frying canned sardines, in the oil they were canned with? They end up a bit dry but taste like a proper grilled fish.

It depends.

From: https://www.thedailymeal.com/difference-between-canned-and-fresh-tomatoes
>When cooking with tomatoes, whether it be for sauces or stews, canned tomatoes are a better choice because they are densely packed and have a higher concentration of flavor that will stand up to heat.

In my experience, this is correct. Also, remember that canned tomatoes are picked at harvest so they are relatively fresh and maintain most of their nutrients when you take them out of the can. Lastly, unless you live in Italy you won't have access to San Marzano tomatoes, so canned is the only way to go.international_brigadeInternational Brigade

>>17124
Yes, it is. The tomatoes have to be peeled, or else the soup isn't going to be smooth, and the end result will be a pretty dull-tasting soup w/o the concentrated flavor of the tomato paste. I've made variations of the tomato soup above and the ingredients I listed produce a good tasting soup that doesn't require a lot of work.

You fell for the EU scam bro. San Mazano tomatoes seed are available everywhere. Most of the canned stuff are grew in the American Midwest with the same type of soil. It’s as much as a meme to inflate prices as the modern trends with wagyu beef and cast iron cookware.

well my supermarket doesn't sell fresh san marzano tomatoes, and I don't have a garden nor do I likely live in a climate conducive to growing san marzano tomatoes, so there you go—canned it is for me.

Tonight I tried to make porridge for the very first time in my life, using this video
But I used too much salt, and it tasted like utter shit, and then spent the next 3 hours trying to fix it, but no matter how much more water, milk, oats, sugar, honey, cinnamon and vanilla I used, it still tasted shitty (although a bit less). Is there any way I can fix this mess? In the meantime it looks like I'll go to sleep without eating so good night.

Sweet porridge is a mistake. Oatmeal is a better alternative with a multitude of different textures and flavors based on the mix and the accompanying liquid.
Savory porridge on the other hand is good for all occasions especially when you have a bunch of leftover rice and meat. Cook rice with lots of bone broth (preferably pork bones with marrow or trotters for the added fat and gelatin) in a pressure cooker for about an hour. If you’re lazy you could just cook both the meat, bones and porridge in the same pot but I prefer that the meat still a have a bite to it and not fall-off-the-bone tender. Garnish with poached eggs and some scallions. Perfect brunch.

I will give you my easy dopeass oatmeal recipe bro.

Take 1 cup oats in a bowl
Mix some sugar and cinnamon in
fill water in the bowl until it is just a hair under the top layer of the oats (just make water level with the oats so its not too watery)

Microwave 1.30 minutes, stir microwave 1.3 mins more

Top off with butter, add seeds, fruits raisins whatever else you want to top it off with. Mix and eat bish

Truth be told, I was a DDD fan too for a little while. What killed it for me was we ate at one of Fieri's restaurants, Johnny Garlic's in Pleasanton, CA. Food was snack bar tier. My gf ordered a salad and the romaine lettuce had grill marks on it. Yee-hah, bbq'd salad! I got shrimp scampi, and the shrimp arrived raw, clearly frozen shrimp they'd rushed out, rubbery and cold. Then they brought us our drinks last, after we'd given up on the food and were looking to bail.

tl:dr Gordon Ramsay should have filmed an episode of Kitchen Nightmares at Guy Fieri's restaurant.

It’s a hothouse industry filled to the brim with petit bourgeois douchebags. Both the failing and successful restaurants have overbearing owners that abuse their workers while paying them terribly.
The worst part is that competitive cooking shows actually glamorize these bastards. Take Gordon Ramsay himself, the image of him in his cooking shows is entirely removed from his real management of his restaurant chain. It’s always mired in worker abuse, shit pay, and using inferior ingredients yet the fucker dares to use this to criticize other shittier owners. The point is not doing those things is bad as a small scale porky, the point is doing it with terrible PR is bad.

The Food Channel stopped being educational, and started game shows. The Game Show Network was an entire channel that showed nothing but game shows. I like to cook personally, and the game shows with cooking as it's theme turn me off. My favorite celebrity chefs really are Julia Child and Jacque Pepin because 100% of their programs were educational.

Learn to enjoy veggies. Simple as. Salad wih ranch, cheesy broccoli, squash casserole, cutting carrots into ramen noodles… get creative and spice up your healthy foods a little. But most importantly, get your body to crave it. Eat enough healthy food, and your body will recognize that it wants and needs the vitamins inside… you'll get hooked because your body will beg you to eat vitamin rich and nutritious food.punkPunk

>Scientists: Unregulated and poorly managed food production and industry is creating massive climate impacts
>Porky: time to eat le bugs peasants
Bug eating and pod living is the ultimate neolib wet dream, the definitive version of worker alienation.
>but muh farms!
These are experimental farms producing very expensive, boutique products for niche markets. A cricket burger would cost you like $50. It's not a cheap filler. Insects are a heck of lot harder to cultivate cleanly, I certainly don't think the crickets sold in Petco are very hygienic and there aren't very many options to cultivating them. You need a plague's worth of locusts to equate the food needs provided by a single cow and managing the hygiene of that number of individuals is much harder than handling a couple bovines.
Bugs are often dirty and have many diseases and parasites specifically made to transfer through consumption of an invertebrate host, and it can be fatal. There's a reason humans largely evolved to not eat most insects and even tribes usually cook them in some manner before consuming them. And yes, I'm sure SOME bugs can be made safe to eat. But I'd rather not, and people shouldn't be forced to. INB4 climate change, Medieval societies in Europe had meat, fruit & grain to eat pre-industrial revolution so obvious it is possible to have that without destroying the climate, and Soviet Agriculture also proved itself.

It's a bit like the overweight thinking it's easier to convince everyone that fat can be sexy, instead of just losing weight themselves if they're that uncomfortable with it. It's easier to continue with the decimation of the planet's ecosystem and have us all live on mashed up cockroaches (of course, they will still get their fill of steaks no matter how rare and expensive it becomes), than to just stop destroying the planet for profit.
If you needed more proof, the current lab-cultivated meat is a demonstration of this: https://www.theguardian.com/food/2021/jun/17/lab-grown-meat-no-kill-food
>In Singapore, the US company Eat Just gained approval to sell its nuggets of lab-grown chicken to consumers in December 2020. Under the brand name “Good Meat”, Eat Just rolled out its first products at an exclusive social club. Diners sample a bao with sesame chicken and pickled cucumber and a maple waffle served with chicken nuggets.
>In April, Eat Just partnered with another restaurant to begin introducing its chicken to a wider public via a delivery service. As well as the Asian chicken salad, the Cantonese restaurant is also selling their novel meat in the form of chicken dumpling and chicken fried rice. Demand has already been high – just a few minutes after appearing online, the eight servings for the day were sold out.
>Cultured meat has made strides in the last few years, but production remains small. Although the science of tissue culture has been around for more than half a century, growing sufficient flesh to make an edible product at a competitive price has been the major challenge. Good Meat’s meals are priced at 23 Singapore dollars (about US$17) – certainly not a cheap portion.
Also note that many people do not feel like consuming insects.
https://thebeet.com/new-survey-finds-consumers-who-want-save-the-planet-would-rather-eat-plants-than-bugs/
>The European Consumer Organisation, BEUC, surveyed consumers from 11 European countries (Italy, Belgium, Portugal, Spain, Austria, Germany, Greece, Lithuania, Netherlands, Slovakia and Slovenia) to find out people's attitudes towards sustainable foods and alternative protein sources
>Two-thirds of consumers would change their diet for the environment and would rather eat plant-based burgers (without GMOs) and sustainable proteins like legumes rather than nibble on insects, even though bugs have the same amount of protein as poultry and beef. Only 10% of consumers would prefer insects over plant-based proteins.

This isn't to say that Modern Bourg Agriculture is good or seeking alternatives to it is bad, but that porky is clearly being exploitative. I think everyone recalls the Cockroach slabs in Snowpiercer and the class-warfare narrative. That said, modern bourg production systems are terrible. Besides the ethically terrible treatment of animals, it's also extremely harmful. Cattle production is the most carbon-intensive form of animal protein and is the top agricultural source of greenhouse gases worldwide, estimated to amount to 14% of all greenhouse gas emissions from human activities. If you've ever been to the Texas Panhandle, there are massive feedlot operations dotting the landscape with thousands of cattle in a single lot literally burping and farting out enormous amounts of ammonia 24/7 and it's so pervasive it can burn your nose and eyes, and in the evening when the winds blow in, this combination of ammonia and airborne fecal matter drift into nearby Amarillo and you can smell it everywhere you go. People there call it "shust" (shit dust) and "shog" (shit smog).

As for Lab Meat, having eaten some, I have to say that it's not that tasty, lacking fat and the influences of the environment and food on the flesh that a real, living cow has. It's still a good supplement and alternative to Pink Slim Burgers though.
>In addition, Abdul Qahir Qamar of the International Islamic Fiqh Academy said that cultured meat "will not be considered meat from live animals, but will be cultured meat." For cells derived from pigs, dogs, and other haram animals, the meat would be considered vegetative and "similar to yogurt and fermented pickles.

Is plastic a threat to your health?

>Heating plastics in the microwave may cause chemicals to leach into your foods.


>Studies have found that certain chemicals in plastic can leach out of the plastic and into the food and beverages we eat. Some of these chemicals have been linked to health problems such as metabolic disorders (including obesity) and reduced fertility. This leaching can occur even faster and to a greater degree when plastic is exposed to heat. This means you might be getting an even higher dose of potentially harmful chemicals simply by microwaving your leftovers in a plastic container.
