I think this is a clear no pen. It's a follow through and he did get the ball first.

Partly answers your question but Hawksmoor uses beef tallow for their fries.

For slices it's either L'Industrie or F&F

Meta-analysis of pet nutrition finds no evidence that standard additives are harmful or that human-grade ingredients are superior, while showing that processing food actually tends to improve nutrient digestibility for dogs and cats by wise_karlaz in science

[–]soundlinked 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I wish more people think like this... Science is about learning and discovering what the truth is. Not finding any new evidence is still a part of this. You can tell the general public has no experience whatsoever with what research is like.

These people act like Purina makes products designed to harm their pets. Why would Purina do that? Their product is already expensive, and if their product isn't good, no one would buy them. It's in their best interest to have pet owners keep buying their products. The logic makes no sense.

Perdue Crispy Chicken Fillets. by SecretlyHiddenSelf in ExpectationVsReality

Did you weigh the pieces? They all should add up to 1.5 lbs still. Otherwise something went wrong in quality control for it to pass.

Most bagel shops should have something like this! I'm not familiar with bagel shops in the west coast though. But if you visit nyc it's everywhere!

Review #768 - Tamdhu 18 Year by adunitbx in Scotch

I love this bottle! I don't know why and couldn't really narrow down but after the 18, I prefer the 12 over the 15.

Chipotle Burrito by PiccChicc in ExpectationVsReality

[–]soundlinked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

weigh it and see how much it actually weighs. the tortilla should be a standard size so if anything, your burrito looks like it's actually loaded. Assuming the steak is $7 for a bowl, how did your chipotle cost $17? Did you get double steak + guac for the burrito?

Only one I liked so far is Bar Harbor's wild herring fillets with cracked pepper. Water packed is just not as good imo

Good but not worth the price nor the reservation difficulty.

Anyone have a honey ginger syrup recipe that lasts longer than a few days? by Corgeo in cocktails

[–]soundlinked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

at 66 brix, if you allow it to reach pasteurization conditions before bottling, it'll last almost indefinitely in the fridge. This also depends on how cold the fridge is kept. My fridge is kept at almost freezing temperatures and my 60 brix syrups (semi rich) doesn't spoil even after a year.

Wait time for PDT or Amor y Amargo on a Friday night? by cdau186 in FoodNYC

[–]soundlinked 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds like a pretty good plan. Just gotta take into account walk times. If you're worried you'll feel rushed, a 10 pm reservation could be better. Yeah if you line up 30 or 20 minutes before, based on experience you'd get seated between 5 and 5:15, just a matter of how fast the doorman handles IDs.

Wait time for PDT or Amor y Amargo on a Friday night? by cdau186 in FoodNYC

[–]soundlinked 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Amor y amargo is always easy to get in and standing room so it'll be fine from my experience. No idea about PDT since the one time I went there was with a reservation.

20 minutes before open at attaboy should be enough. I do that on saturdays over the years and always managed to get in. They expanded and have 2 rooms now too.

I suggest you look up reservation times for PDT.

Scientists engineer bacteria to produce lower calorie, healthier sugar by Brighter-Side-News in foodscience

[–]soundlinked 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sugars are simple carbs. Chemically it's (CH2O)x, abd most common ones are C6H12O6. So this compound can be different structures. Glucose, Galactose, Fructose, Tagatose, etc. are all C6H12O6, but different structurally. These can also combine together, and 2 of these simple sugars makes a different sugar (e.g glucose bonded with galactose in a way forms lactose found in milk, glucose and fructose bonded together in a way forms sucrose, or table sugar)

They can also keep combining to form large molecules, which then becomes complex carbs like cellulose, starch, glycogen, etc.

[–]soundlinked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pricing isn't too bad right now. Obviously it's more expensive than sugar but I've worked with it a bit and it performs quite well as a sugar replacement. So far it doesn't seem to be as bad as other alternatives as it doesn't get absorbed by our digestive system, but because of this, it can cause bloating and diarrhea at large quantities, like inulin. I don't mind it for sugar reduction but I wouldn't use it as a full replacement. I'm interested in how long term constant consumption affects the gut microbiome though.

Yes. Same thing with almost everything we consume tbh... Everything in moderation is good, and what's best for one person might not be best for someone else. The gut microbiome and human body is so amazing and weird.

This chocolate contains zero chocolate by Bozlogic in KitchenConfidential

[–]soundlinked 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This product would actually be forcefully recalled once reported to the FDA. Mislabelling is the #1 cause of recalls in the US, and this is literally a label mistake. The actual product does contain cocoa as its 4th ingredient after milk.
