New: Cassava (UBI KAYU) is an alternative source of carbohydrates - Speaker

Malaysians need to be brave enough to make changes to not continue to depend on rice as a source of carbohydrates, instead it can be replaced with other sources such as cassava or ubi kayu says the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tan Sri Johari Abdul. He says the move to make cassava as one of the sources of carbohydrates is seen as the best alternative while waiting for the local white…

Something I keep thinking about that irks me

The whole "rice is bad for you" thing is just remanufactured "MSG is bad for you" rhetoric and I think it needs to stop. Rice is a food staple for billions of people for thousands of years…like…shut the fuck up.

Wednesday April 19.

today, nearly 2,000 years ago, someone in pompeii baked bread.

Ahh, picture it. The time, around 2,000 years ago—the place, Pompeii. Simpler, happier times in some ways; and for the ruthless power games, insatiable sexual appetites, wild ambition, and creative genius, less so in others. However, following yesterday's foray into pastries, and all things fluffy, warm, and flakey, it dawned on us that this day around 2,000 years ago a happy chappy somewhere in the city's magnificent walls got to work and made some bread. CIL vol. IV 8972: XIII K. Maias panem feci—which translates as: On April 19th I made bread. And we love that for you, even millennia later! So, one day after our sweet celebration, it's time to pay homage to pastries' savory counterparts by marking April 19 with #bread. And a happy 2,000th anniversary to whichever miscellaneous Pompeian who decided not simply to make bread, but to mark the occasion with graffiti. But how do we know this? Well, it is thanks to the enquiring minds as evident in this post from @todayiwrotenothing, and indeed this commemoration on Reddit. Every day is a school day over here on The Internet.

Today it comes in countless forms, shapes, and sizes: wholewheat, rye, sourdough, multigrain bread, baguette, ciabatta, pumpernickel, soda, focaccia, cornbread, bagel, flatbread, naan, brioche, challah, and, last but by no means least, the ever-trusty white bread. As you will shortly see in the following string of bready content, this is simple yet limitless food: it can be braided, made by illustrated cats, or indeed constructed in the shape of the dashboard's beloved, hapless vessel, the good ship Ever Given.

So here's to you, as-yet-unnamed Pompeian who not only makes the bread, but brags about it too. We think you would have enjoyed this one-day tribute to your escapades here with #bread. We shall submit a formal application to rename it Tumbread, in your honor. But that's still not all: rumor has it there is sister graffiti that reads "Olivia condita XVII Kalendas Novembres"—so come back on November 16th for preserved olives.

5 staple foods for fastest growing meat After entering spring, the weather is getting warmer, and many friends are starting to lose weight. Are you losing weight? I gained more than ten pounds last winter, and I am also preparing to lose weight. If you want to lose weight successfully,…

The current demonization of carbs and moralizing around bread + grains is the devil’s work, the actual devil. “Wheat belly” and “grains contain anti-nutrients” and “flour aggregates your intestines“ and “rice has harmful lectins.” What the fuck is anyone talking about. Those are your staple grains, show some respect. 

Bread is God you bastards, bread is god. Pasta is everything. I would die for rice.

Happy Baten Kaitos remaster release day! It will sadly release a day later here where I'm at, but I'll patiently wait until I can start treating my boy right again and make him the beefiest member of my team.

your regular reminder to have a little something to eat 🍓

no i sent that because right wingers (esp the agro crowd in brazil) like to repeat that vegan products contribute to it as if that was all there was to it, which unfortunately actually has people thinking soy crops are meant for vegan products (have had to argue with multiple people irl about this - it's somehow not that obvious to everyone as you might think) so i think it's important to shed light on what actually matters. vegan products are not the root of the problem so pointing out they contribute to it does not help solve the problem so much. however if people are vegan for environmental reasons i agree it's coherent to seek out products produced locally etc (i assume that's why you mentioned that then?)

i did not mean that ask to attack you in any way tho just thought it's worth pointing out.

i understand where youre coming from but i am not a right winger agro person and neither is anyone that follows me on here, i don't know what would make you assume otherwise. you are pretty much preaching to the choir. the fact of the matter stands that you'd be doing much more to help the environment by donating to environmentalist and food security orgs in brazil with your dollars than by choosing grocery chain international vegan products over, say, local farmer's market meat. (yes, that is why i mentioned it)

If you could eat any monster from dungeon meshi, which one would it be and why?

Not a particular monster, but the dish i wanted the most was FAIRY RING CHANGELING'D ASSORTED MULTICULTURAL DUMPLINGS. Oh my god. I think a lot about how dumpling style food from every culture covers most of my favorite dishes, and Im also someone who prefers sampling food here and there instead of eating a lot of one thing. So seeing this panel just made me like extremely excited

I have to think harder about a particular monster..I really wanna try stuff with slime and Im delighted by all of the uses for it. The man-eating plant tart uses slime gelatin as a binding agent and it looks so good.

Also not a monster but the exorcism sorbet was so delightful, the way they made it made me smile and it looks so good

Unfortunately I quickly feel sick if I eat too much of one thing (especially really savory food) and I really like light foods, so although most of the dishes in dungeon meshi looked amazing they are probably a bit too heavy for me to eat more than a couple bites of so I really loved seeing unique light dishes like these here and there

One thing that always irks me without fail is when ppl outside the US take jabs at American food for being "unhealthy" and then proceed to spew the most anti-Black, anti-Indigenous commentary they can to try and "own" the US-ians.

I just want to know, what do the Pokémon eat besides berries and bag goodies?

(Idk what the bag foods called HELP—)

Pokemon have a much wider variety of things they eat in The Present is a Gift than what we see in the games— though berries, apples, seeds, and gummies are still important foods! As a rule of thumb, I like to say that they can eat most IRL vegetarian dishes. There’s a plethora of things in the PMD world that replace most “animal” products— stuff like special plants, mushrooms, fruits, and vegetables— so they’re not limited strictly to vegan cuisine, but they’re not going to go around eating omelettes or anything like that. And there's no meat going into anyone's dinner because cannibalism is cringe, y'all.

For a fun bit of bonus info: Dusknoir is the best cook out of the crew, and Celebi is the absolute worst. Darkrai is pretty close to Dusknoir in skill once he learns how to cook, but he’s not comfortable without a recipe to follow, while Dusknoir is constantly tinkering with his favorites. Kip and Twig are next— Kip has a handful of basic recipes memorized, and Twig has a single recipe she came up with for spicy vegetable and berry skewers that she whips out whenever needed. Grovyle isn’t a skilled cook by any means, but he doesn’t put compost in dishes like Celebi does, at least, so he’s safe from being at the bottom of the tier list. For now.

Enjoy these two snippets of Celebi being chaotic in the kitchen:
