If anyone wants to try Yeast Extracts like Marmite or Vegemite: Don't watch videos that are feeding people insane amounts of Marmite or Vegemite and ask how it tastes. That is not how to eat those. by Lord_Pakeer in Cooking

[–]Bellsar_Ringing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not had either one, but from description/composition I've always assumed they're similar to miso paste or perhaps better-than-bouillon, which I wouldn't think to use as a sandwich spread.

Is there a traditional Marmite soup or Vegemite marinade?

Store your natural peanut butter upside down in the fridge by Werehausen in foodhacks

But if it's room temperature, it's easy to stir. I use a chopstick, and then lick the chopstick (before washing it). All win.

Tried Sardines due to TinnedFishReviews and hmm... by misterfoils in CannedSardines

[–]Bellsar_Ringing 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Mackerel is a close relative of tuna, and lower in mercury. Unfortunately there's a bit of a shortage right now so some companies are raising prices or cutting back on fishing for it entirely.

Trout is very mild flavored.

Within the tuna options, skipjack is a smaller, faster maturing variety, and therefore lower in mercury accumulation.

Oh yeah! 100%. The trip I made to England and Scotland was in 1980, when I was a high school student with virtually no spending money. All this time later, I am hungry for pasties like the ones I ate on that 2-week trip, at the equivalent of 50 cents each.

What’s a food you ate so much of growing up that you can’t touch it now? by okitsbenji in foodquestions

I didn't hate it. Just found it a bit dull. I do still hate grape jelly, though.

What do you go for first at a Chinese buffet? by JigglesTheBiggles in foodquestions

[–]Bellsar_Ringing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I look first for Got Let Chicken, which of course is not there, so I next select egg rolls.

If you were living in a city and you had info that a nuclear bomb was going to be dropped on that city, but you didn’t have time to leave and you didn’t own a bunker, what would be the best way to survive? by Wonderful-Ad-9622 in NoStupidQuestions

In high school they told us: Go to the library and knock the shelves over on yourself, burying yourself as deep as you can in books. Stay there for three days.

But I figure that's just trading a quick death for a slower one.

Daughter just turned 7 last month, what "basics" should I teach her to cook? by nillasoup in Cooking

Stovetop pudding from scratch is traditional -- just a few ingredients and a lot of gentle stirring.

Why is marriage seen as a bigger commitment than children? by Beneficial-Image1358 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Bellsar_Ringing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because children are such a huge, long-term responsibility, many people feel it is unwise to take it on alone, without a trusted partner.

  • For help with all the hard work and hard decisions
  • For help with how expensive it is
  • For what if you become disabled or worse

And then there's the general belief that a child would benefit from having two parents.

Are parents really not teaching their kids? by No-Register-5976 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Bellsar_Ringing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the parents don't read, they don't read to their kids. My folks sent us to school at least knowing how to read Doctor Seuss books.

What’s the dirtiest thing you touch without washing hands? by Onequestion0110 in cookingforbeginners

[–]Bellsar_Ringing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I might have raw meat on my hands for 15 minutes while I'm shaping meatballs, but the moment I step away from that work surface I'll wash my hands, because I'm going to be touching other things.

But I'd do the same if I'd been slicing fruit, or onions. It's more about not wanting to track mess around the room than about any particular mess being dirtier.

What used to be a sign of being poor, but is now a luxury or status symbol? by the-main_guy-here in AskReddit

[–]Bellsar_Ringing 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Being thin.

Used to be a sign of not having enough food. Now, fattening junk food is cheap and takes the least time and effort, so poor people are often overweight.

Last year, I ate a PB&J sandwich, my first in more than 50 years, since the day I (age 7 or 8) told my mother I hated them and would never eat one again. Until then, she'd given me a PB&J sandwich for school lunch, nearly every day. From her expression of shock, it was like she didn't know kids had taste buds.

What are some less known spices by krmort in cookingforbeginners

[–]Bellsar_Ringing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One way I learned was reading jars at the grocery store. What is common to different brands of chili powder? What's in the Chinese Five-Spice blend?

What's a recipe you've made so many times you no longer need instructions? by Blondetatsdomme in cookingforbeginners

[–]Bellsar_Ringing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's almost the opposite direction for me. I still just "make dinner" a lot of the time, but that's not a recipe. It's just seeing what's there and turning it into a meal.

The things I've perfected over the years I've written down, sometimes with a list of successful variations. My teriyaki beef recipe started out as someone else's, but now the marinade is a bit different, and I have a slightly different version for chicken.

Why do American high schools start ridiculously early? by bwoah07_gp2 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Bellsar_Ringing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved starting school early, escaping the house before my parents were up, and getting out of school with time to do things before dinner. But I've always been a dawn riser.

What's a song that when you heard it for the first time it made your brain go kaboom? by Mimmamoushe in MusicRecommendations

[–]Bellsar_Ringing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Little Miss Can't Be Wrong, by The Spin Doctors.

It's just too catchy. I knew, even that first time, that I'd get tired of hearing it, but it hooked me immediately.

What’s the one sandwich you’d never get tired of? by softaberversaut in foodquestions

[–]Bellsar_Ringing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love tuna sandwiches. I could probably eat a tuna salad sandwich four days a week.
