    Ah fuck, I saw a man blend chicken breast into a smoothie and then drink it recently, thanks for dredging up that painful memory again

    Lots of soup propaganda today.

    Preferable over most other types of propaganda imho.

    But strange either way.

    Soup in my opinion had to be 60-70% liquid

    For example chili is not a soup as it’s mostly meat, beans, and vegetables with not as much liquid.

      Now help me understand where stew and porridge fit in. Also what the fuck is cream of wheat, because I’m not sure if that’s any of the above or just mud: “soft, sticky matter resulting from the mixing of earth and water.”

      Is a pie a vessel that holds stew? Like a shepherds pie or apple pie both seem like stew in pastry. But then does again aren’t calzones and pierogis dumplings?

      Sorry, I’ve just got some food identification questions

        Porridge is more like wetter oatmeal, but doesn’t have to be oats. Cream of wheat probably classifies as a porridge. I prefer barley porridge.

        Stew (and gumbo) is thicker than soup, the liquid being more like gravy, so potpies are kinda like a pastry full of stew often made as single servings.

        Shepherd’s pie can be that wet but isn’t always and has a roof of mashed potatoes and no pastry. It’s really not a pie at all.

        If calzone and pierogi are dumplings then so are pastel and empanadas. Personally I’m fine with that.

        If I’m wrong about any of these I would enjoy being corrected, but these are all things I cook with some regularity so my opinions are deeply held.

          Thanks for the serious response, I honestly learned from your response that shepherds pie didn’t have pastry, I thought it was like a chicken pot pie with different fillings. (Thicker/with red meat vs thinner and poultry I guess is what I thought)

          What do you do for your empanadas? And do you think I could just start my dough like a pizza dough, cut and crimp them similar to a perogi and then fry them? Maybe that’s what I’ll do for dinner tonight. What do you put in them?

            Empanadas is one I might disappoint you on. I frequently cheat and use plain old pie crust, sometimes homemade, but often store bought. Once built, I chill them to not quite frozen and fry them in my fish fryer. Baked empanadas are just hand pies, by my reckoning.

          I like beans just fine and dont actually care all that much tbh. Good chili is good chili imo. I grew up in an area where people take that stuff way more seriously than is reasonable tho and just felt like leaning in on that old familiar silly lol

          As soon as someone says like don’t like beans in their chili I think that chili is going to be out of my budget. Most foods heavily rely on other things to help fill you up. Chili you can’t exactly put random carbs into to keep the cost down. Onions and peppers cook down for great flavors but minimal filling. Sure you could add more cheese and sour cream which keto diets would probably love but that isn’t getting your cost / filler down.

          My stomach is likely just to big, I need to cut portions and let it shrink

            Very much agreed on all of that. Some people take their chili very seriously tho and I happened to spend a lot of time in an area where that was the case. That time spent led to me growing a respect for the art form that is chili, and many of the people that’re really, really into it insist endlessly that beans are simply a suboptimal ingredient if your goal is anything near cooking up a masterpiece.

            So, while I agree with you on one level, after tasting some of their finer brews, I also see a lot of merit to their fiscally unbound arguments.

              Oh yeah, I’d love it to be sans beans… it’s just not going to be cost worthy for my budget. Good chili makes sense to not have beans, but whispers privilege, haha

                I hear you and, again, mostly agree, but if you’re hunting your own game and growing your own veggies, that’s gonna cut ingredient costs significantly. Not saying I do, cause I don’t (I can’t even make a truly good chili to save my life tbh), but some of those country folks knew how to eat real well on low income. Can’t say many kind things about my experience with the overall culture of the US backwoods, but the diy/work with what you have/communal aspect of it has always stood out as admirable to me.

                Edit: thinking about it a whole two seconds more, even access to hunting equipment or space to garden is privileged in many contexts. Fair point!

                  Yeah space is the issue. I personally had 13 chickens and just reduced the size yesterday to 7 because egg production was to high and good laying hens are worth more alive than butchering. Also, I love the boogers so I couldn’t eat them. The amount of space it takes to have a garden that could sustain 2 people is around 4 acres really. Unpractical for most people. Also impossible to have animals in that area without containing them to tiny areas many wouldn’t agree with. Self sufficiency is rough in the confines we practice most places… But expanding areas only hurts society in other ways. (Drive times, resource usage, etc)

                  I get what you mean though.

    It’s already been invented way back when Earth want to drink dinosaur soup by spewing volcanic juice to cook the dino.

        I suppose that depends on the level of hot. If it’s at the temperature I like soup, probably, if it’s at the level of heat I see some people drink coffee at, no. I think some of those people secretly hate the taste of coffee so they just burn off their taste buds and blister the roof of their mouth just to feed their caffeine addiction.
