Barf

No. That's stomach stew.

Bone tea. You gotta steep it a few hours, though.

I prefer mine with onions and root vegetables, but my mind is open.

A spritz of apple juice might actually work quite well in chicken broth.

[–] littlebluespark 3 points 7 months ago

That's when she whispers after "leave it in a while".

You joke but beef tea is a real thing in the UK

marmite and bovril... two products I just cannot fucking fathom how they made it to shelves...

[–] BluesF 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Because people like them and buy them? I mean sure, you don't, but it's not so mysterious.

[–] mojofrododojo 1 points 7 months ago

mum was of the opinion that “we have Vegemite at home” when what we had was Dick Smith’s Ozemite.

haha wow thank you for the insight!

[–] DillyDaily 2 points 7 months ago

I also can't fathom how they stayed on the shelves after Vegemite was invented. It's the superior black toast tar.

And I'm not just saying that because I'm Australian and eat Vegemite off a spoon.

I was raised on Marmite, and promite, and I found them disgusting. Genuinely thought all the black yeast biproducts were the same, mum was of the opinion that "we have Vegemite at home" when what we had was Dick Smith's Ozemite.

Was introduced to name brand Vegemite in my late teens and finally understood why this product has survived capitalism. It's so fucking good.

I've never tried bovril (was raised vegetarian, and developed an alpha-gal allergy later in life), but I've definitely tried every application you can think of for Vegemite - it's good in gravy, including making a vegetarian "beef tea" and "Vegemite cordial" for hot days.

That's more like meat coffee. It has a kick.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

Love me some broth as a warm drink.

[–] markstos 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Ah yes, the animal we eat with just one hole for pee and poo and eggs.

[–] Wogi 13 points 7 months ago (4 children)

But we don't eat the hole.

[–] ThePantser 4 points 7 months ago

We don't? Brb

Speak for yourself

Wait until you see what nuggets are.

It's called a Pope's Nose or Bishop's Nose lol

Chowder is a hot ocean latte with fish croutons.

[–] Okokimup 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Hot ocean milk with dead animal croutons.

A savory latte with bugs in it.

[–] littlebluespark 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Better get used to bugs as food, though. The next protein we're gonna see is insect, and my bet's cricket.

[–] Omacitin 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Why eat bugs when you could eat lentils?

[–] littlebluespark 1 points 7 months ago

You ever try to subsist on legume protein? 💨

Beer is just cold, fermented herbal tea.

In other words: Beer is a cousin of kombucha...

My fiancee is a chef and hates this.

A brothy one.

[–] swag_money 3 points 7 months ago

mayo is egg jam

[–] TropicalDingdong 3 points 7 months ago
[–] johannesvanderwhales 3 points 7 months ago

It's mostly bone tea.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Not in here mister, this is a mercedes.

[–] Aux 2 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Not tea, but heat extracted juice. And milk is just cold pressed juice.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Tea is just hot leaf juice. Both are diluted with water (tea and broth, that is).

[–] Aux 1 points 7 months ago

Fair enough.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Only corpse milk is cold pressed

[–] nycki 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Bones, i appreciate your posts but I think you're completely missing the point with your titles; meat tea is awesome.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon 2 points 5 months ago

Bones is vegan so unfortunately it's gross to me, but you enjoy yourself!

[–] mojofrododojo 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

mayonnaise is just whipped chicken embryo.

[–] Aux 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It's whipped oil, not embryo.

[–] mojofrododojo 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)
[–] Aux 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Proper traditional French mayo is 70-80% oil. Shit mayo from the shop actually has less fat, usually 65% for "full fat" versions and 30-40% for "low calorie" bull shit. Reduced fat content is achieved by adding unnecessary shit like starch. So yeah, mayo, as in real proper mayo, is a whipped oil, not egg.

[–] AnUnusualRelic 2 points 7 months ago

According to my (parisian) cooking school, they managed to do 70 litres of oil with a single egg yolk while experimenting. Then it became too impractical and they had to stop.

Dinosaur tea ftw

Salty bird water.
