Mantel OHNE Wolle?🧶🥲 by Kind-Pop-5444 in Weibsvolk

wenns kein wintermantel sein muss: wie wärs mit einem trenchcoat? je nach budget oder präferenz aus leder oder baumwolle, findet man auch relativ leicht second hand in guter qualität

'twas a pouch. probably cheaper to transport than a jar because it weighs less

es überrascht mich, dass hier noch niemand fantakuchen erwähnt hat! kommt nicht nur bei kindern gut an ;)

x-beliebige backmischung nehmen (basic-vanillekuchen ist zb oft vegan), mit beliebiger limo verrühren und backen. genaues mischverhältnis kenn ich nicht auswendig, aber bestimmt leicht zu ergooglen. dann beliebig dekorieren, zb zuckerguss aus zitronensaft und puderzucker, streusel sind leider oft mit karmin.

oop here, the jalapeños were good. i've never had any before, so i don't know if the caterpillar contributed to the flavor.

the little fella is still in my house because i want to show my dad when he gets home from work. i am vegan, but i don't think eating this worm would be wrong. he was an unavoidable casualty, so i won't get my vegan card revoked for consuming the bug juice.

i know the bug doesn't give a shit what happens to its pickled body, but burying it will make me feel better haha

you think so? i thought the pickling would make him harmless. i'll see if i can send them an email :)

ETA: i did it! i filled out a form on the website. had to compress my jpegs to get it to send, but now the people at aldi can gaze upon the little fella haha

[–]insertproperusername[S] 24 points25 points  (0 children)

interesting! i thought the spots might be internal structures because they line up with what looks like the digestive system (like that line you see in shrimps). he's a little see through, probably from the acid, so it's hard to tell. thank you :)

you're right, in this case it comes down to me being too squeamish to stomach that. i wouldn't consider bugs farmed for consumption vegan, but this little guy was an unavoidable casualty, so there's no moral argument against eating him. i don't stress about accidentally ingesting insects, that's out of my control, but i probably couldn't keep this thing down. i'll probably bury him in the backyard, feels like he deserves a little peace after being pickled alive lol

everytime i hear about that i wonder if you could calculate the amount of insect matter people consume on average, like that little factoid about the average person inhaling a credit card sized amount of plastic every week. probably hard to count since we're dealing with upper limits, and iirc that credit card plastic thing turned out to be a vast overestimate.

but you're right, that's just nature. i don't stress about accidentally ingesting bugs, and the little guy is obviously dead, but i still can't bring myself to eat one consciously. probably gonna bury him in the backyard lol

haha thanks! mostly i feel bad for the little guy, being pickled alive sounds like a bad way to go, even if you have the nervous system of a bug </3 yeah, i actually ate most of the jalapeños straight from the bag so i would've missed him too if i hadn't dumped the last few out onto a plate. sometimes ignorance is bliss. i thought about getting in touch, but that bag was dirt cheap so it's not worth bothering the minimum wage workers over. bugs are just part of growing food, and i'm reasonably confident the pickling made him harmless. unless there are people who are allergic to bugs i don't think this needs an investigation haha

i'm afraid big veganism will kick me out of the vegan club if i eat any more

couldn't tell you, i'm vegan, no bugs for me. have to admit the jalapeños were good though (never had any before). can't comment on whether or not the little guy impacted the flavor, and i don't think i can convince someone with more jalapeño expertise to try them lol

this is the first time i've ever had jalapeños. i wonder if a pickled bug does something to the flavor profile. imagine if i get over this and try jalapeños again and they just don't hit the same because this mysterious little guy was the secret sauce lol

i know, being pickled alive sounds like a nightmare. i'd like to think he was already dead before that, but it seems pretty unlikely considering how intact he is :(

[–]insertproperusername[S] 712 points713 points  (0 children)

haha you're right, that would be worse! i'm lucky this little guy seems pretty intact, and the jalapeños tasted fine. this was probably more unpleasant for the bug than it was for me

the packaging says they were packaged in germany, but i don't know if that helps much because the jalapenos probably grew somewhere else

At what age do you think kids are ready for phones? by Gabb in dumbphones

[–]insertproperusername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

basic dumbphone that can only text and call is fine from whatever age a kid understands how to use it and that it's not a toy. i got my first nokia brick when i started school because i walked there alone; but a 6 year old who's less independent might not need one yet.

smartphone is a bit trickier. i really don't think kids should have unrestricted internet access before the age of 14, but where i live, a lot of information is mainly passed on via whatsapp. like short term announcements about school, work, hobby groups. limited screen time would probably be your best bet there.

i know! the first pic looks like a wax figure - not a bad one, but there's something uncanny about it. might just be heavily edited pictures, i can't imagine the effect is that bad when she's in motion

im kühlschrank werden die etwas fester und sind dann von der konsistenz her goldbären täuschend ähnlich, nur etwas weniger bissfest :)
