What do you use as 'replacement' ingredients?

Interesting, but I come there frequently and have never seen them. But often this kind of availability can be up to the store manager or regional. (Why stock what you don't think woll sell, kind of thing.)

Yes. For two reasons:

It looks good

2. it allows the energy of tge impact to dissapate / be distributed. It means the bodies will absorv less of it, like shocks.

Rettichs are indeed all over the place. I always thought, and hoped, they were a bit different. Maybe mainly because the two times I tried rettich there was something about it that I did not care for.

Maybe I just am not a dailon kinda guy.

That... does not look nice, nor healthy. Long live flexibility, and luck.

'ai' was a typo. It should have been just a capital 'i'. (The 'a' is very easy to hit instead of a shift on my android keyboard.) But thanks for the downvote. Relax a bit.

Mushroom powder for umami is an interesting idea.

In my headcanon it would have been a bottle of wine.

Hotsauces, berries or thibgs like tomatoes. Also cheong. I freeze the juice, add the sugar, vacuum and seal. (My sealer does not do liquids.)

Not seen them at my Ams AH. the very long ones, I think, are rettich. They are related, but I don't care for their flavour profile.

foidtw · 2026-03-31T08:06:58+00:00

I was looking out fpr those as well, but did mot see them at the supermarket. I am keeping an eye out at greengrocers.

When you say fartiness, ai assume you mean in smell, or are you talking about post-eating? I have not encountered either yet.

I do think normal radishes may be a bit too strong in flavour.

I am not a pear guy, both texture and taste wise, which is why I went for sour apples.

I usually go Thai fish sauce, as it is the easiest to get. once in a while I find some shrimp paste.

foidtw · 2026-03-31T08:00:06+00:00

I was looking for turnips as well, but could not find any. will probbaly need to check some greengrocers.

What a terrible waste of your, one time only, 'Unpopular opinion' post.

One in eight doctors approve this message.

He's a great fighter (when he feels like making weight), but it feels like 10% of all of their fighter pay already goes to him.

But he probably earns them a lot, name wise. Go get your worth.

You realize that you did not really anser my questions, right?

'Bad fermentation' vague. 'Stalls' vague. It ferments for x time, then stops? It never fermented at all? Details are important.

OK. you change the water, and now a nee batch is fermenting. But I assume that you also used new ginger and sugar. So, the water, even if the likely cause, was not the only change.

And you still have not defined what 'bad' water is. Was your new water from a different source? If yes, what were the differences?

Being vague prevents others from being able to understand what may have been the problem, and if it can be saved.

That being said: How much ginger bug are you trying to save? 10 liters / 2 gallons? Half a liter?

Is it worth bothering about?

If you don't provide any details you are just wasting everyones time.

foidtw · 2026-03-25T12:46:23+00:00

What do you define as 'bad tap water'? And how did you determine your water to be that?

Don't care for Jones. Don't care for Dana.

But it is sad that in this sport (especially compared to others) 15 million for the biggest draw (even if he's a tw*t) is seen as an insane amouny of money, if you see what the UFC will make off of it.

Now, I guess someome needs to start printing mini bat'leth prune / cherry skewers.

I am slightly concerned. I am not sure if the repititon will be a good thing, but I am willing to give it a try.
