“Brands”
Monsanto doesn’t even advertise but I bet 90% of what I eat is their brand
…made my first fermented sauce as an effective replacement for soy/fish sauce last week… and my first fermented lemon/garlic/ginger spice yesterday. At the grocery store I play a childish game with myself; in the isles, the floor is lava… fuck brands. I’ll make it all, and make it better, by myself. - an American millennial
Got a recipe for that fermented sauce?
Blueberries, 3% salt brine, microscopic Mason jar deathmatch for a month with burping. It yielded ~600mL of savory, slightly fruity-ish juice.
5lb chuck roast, dry- onion, garlic, salt, pepper, - twice–before and after rubbing in a course Dijon mustard. Then 4 hours @165F on a pellet grill with temp control via a stepper motor auger; mostly just for the bark-ish hardwood flavor. Then the roast was placed in a dutch oven with some old chicken stock, and a cheap beer with some onion, garlic, and a couple baking potatoes as filler to ensure the whole thing was covered. I cooked this for 6 hours at whatever temp my oven calls 250F. That yielded ~1000mL of juice… and some excellent shredded beef BBQ.
I mixed both of those juices and simmered them down to ~600mL total, filtered, and bottled it. The final product is like a smokey Worcestershire sauce with a hint of fruity flavor that is quite weak, maybe on par with the amount of fruity one might taste in a Hefeweizen beer but a more complex savory flavor than Worcestershire sauce.
Overall, I’m just at the initial fermentation experimental phase where I am not concerned with reproducibility, yield, or cost, and am just using everything free, cheap, or about to get thrown out as fodder for low effort experiments.
Disability makes me physically limited but time rich. So this is an abstract exploration of my available resources.
Last year I began saving vinegar from pickled jalapenos to make into sauce, instead of buying a spicy sauce for my veggie wraps.
I’m probably going to need to start making my own tortillas too, shit’s getting expensive.
This is the way… Focus on what you can do from scratch… Unprocessed (less processed) ingredients are so much cheaper, healthier and overall better… You’d be surprised how much better actual food taste like!
Yeah but you didn’t consider the fact that I’m incredibly lazy
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Groceries are shaping up to be a top spending priority for younger generations, a February report from McKinsey & Company found.
Groceries ranked highest for millennials and Gen Zers, outpacing restaurants, bars, travel, beauty and personal care, apparel, and fitness.
The success of the canned water brand Liquid Death is an example of young people’s willingness to spend on flashy food and beverages.
Peter Pham, an investor in Liquid Death, previously told Business Insider that part of the brand’s success comes from its appeal to younger generations.
The typical American household would need to spend $445 more a month to purchase the same goods and services as a year ago, a report from Moody’s found.
The story also misstated the findings in the Moody’s report, which said the typical American household would need to spend $445 more a month this year on goods and services, not just groceries.
