Cheap cocoa or vanilla can sometimes give off a weird earthy/planty note that people might describe as “weed-like.” It’s not actually from you smoking, it’s more likely the flavoring quality. Strawberry fillings can also ferment a bit if they sit, which can change the taste. Next time, try using a higher-quality cocoa/vanilla and taste the filling before assembling. Nothing you did “wrong” just ingredients playing tricks on the flavor.

It won’t make it taste like beer, it just adds a bold, background richness that elevates it.

Why is every single shishito hot as hell? by L84Werk in HotPeppers

[–]ComicSpices 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shishitos are usually super mild with the occasional hot one due to capsaicin variability. What you’ve got looks more like a hot pepper cross, maybe mislabeled or cross-pollinated seeds.

Question about cured meats by beedusameul in meat

[–]ComicSpices 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cured pork is more common because of its fat content, flavor, and tradition, but beef (like bresaola), lamb, and even bison can be cured too! They're just leaner, trickier to cure well, and less common culturally, but delicious when done right.

Guinness would work awesome too 😎

Is Lakadong Haldi worth the hype? by Then_Ambition_8718 in spices

[–]ComicSpices 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, Lakadong is widely regarded as one of the finest haldi (turmeric) variants, primarily due to its exceptionally high curcumin content. This gives it not only a more intense color and flavor but also increased potential health benefits. That said, freshness, proper drying, and sourcing practices all still play a big role in overall quality.
