This but unironically. There is a reason why our ancestors first used grains for making alcoholic beverages and only later for eating.

The world would be a better place if palms grew everywhere so our ancestors could have just acquired an easy source of alcohol without agriculture.

Who makes Adelaide's best AB?

quote:

Though nothing more than sauce on meat on chips, the AB ranks with the pie floater and the frog cake as Adelaide’s most iconic food.

It is our most controversial delicacy; named something so intensely unappetising that in polite company the dish is always euphemistically called only by its first two letters.

I like the teensy little "seemingly southern" print to the right, like, "Oh, don't feel like white trash. This poo poo has rosemary and is $5.49 a bag. Extreeeeeeme snackin', yo."

Also, rosemary makes my throat close in on itself, so I consider these to be a downgrade imo

Unfortunately this isn't backed by evidence. Parched grains and evidence of wild grain consumption as porridge goes back to the Middle Paleolithic.

All the deliciousness of poor people food doesn't outstrip bougie hipster types' intense desire to look down their noses at others.

Ever noticed when people like that do deign to venture into a bodega or a small restaurant they've gotta call it a "hole in the wall" or some other passive aggressive snipe?

I don't think I'd pay to have it for myself but I can see how it might be convenient if you lived in a rural area and didn't have access to stuff like shiitake mushrooms and fresh mint.

I don't see how it would be any better than just ordering the ingredients online instead

calling a small place not many people know about a "hole in the wall" predates modern hipsterism by at least two centuries

what makes you think it's a passive-aggressive snipe? i've only ever heard it used endearingly.

Eh, it's not really. It's a pricey alternative to it. If you don't cook that often and aren't good with recipes, it's a good alternative. I like how they only send you as much as you need for the recipe, though. So if you're trying some recipe you found online and you buy a package of fresh Marjoram or whatever, you aren't stuck wasting the rest of the herbs after spending $6.75 on a package of them.

Sure, you could use those items up on the rest of your meals for the week, but if you aren't regularly cooking full meals, one-off ingredients expire pretty fast.

the post you're trying to argue with by saying that posted:

believe it or not there are places in the world where there isn't a local co-op selling bulk spices; I've lived in several

e: I think those services are wasteful anyway ("instead of trying to find local alternatives i'll just have somebody literally put five marjoram leaves in an envelope on a loving truck and drive it across the country to my house, and somehow this will make me feel better and less wasteful"??) but that specific point isn't super valid
