Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.

Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:

Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.

Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.



Rule 11- Posts must actually be true: Disiniformation, trolling, and being misleading will not be tolerated. Repeated or egregious attempts will earn you a ban.

Honey, what's wrong? You barely touched your bloodpancakes..

[–] RBWells 34 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I mean you can, but your cake won't rise. You should go review a quiche recipe online with "no stars. Made exactly according to directions except substituted 65g of blood for each egg. Terrible recipe, was awful "

If you menstruate, it's 100% free, just needs to be cleaned a little!

In what sort of recipes? I doubt you can whip blood into stiff peaks for merengue.

For all the people proving me wrong, stop, it sucks knowing this.

[–] [email protected] 44 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Yes, you can:

If you beat the blood, it turns pink and becomes a stable foam - perfect for baking sponge cakes or meringues.

Of course this site is in German, should have seen that coming

[–] alleycat 3 points 4 days ago

Yeah, everybody is making jokes about cooking with blood in this thread, but they're really just describing German cuisine. I remember eating blood gruel with potatoes and spinach as a kid. Tastes awful.

[–] Nikls94 12 points 6 days ago

You made me curious.

As a connoisseur of Blood Sausage, or Blutwurst, or Blunz‘n, I am intrigued to taste this.

[–] capt_wolf 22 points 6 days ago (1 children)

You can, actually . They both contain similar protein compositions and both contain anticoagulant albumin.

It says you still need eggs. Can you replace them and make it from blood, beer, flour and blood?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago

well, I know what I'm eating for breakfast tomorrow

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 days ago

The amount of people who refuted your statement is... concerning and weird.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

While others have pointed out it definitely can it also contains lecithin so it can technically create emulsions like mayonnaise and hollandaise

Eggs contain far more so I don’t know how well this would work but it should? It also contains albumin and globulins but in the white, which is traditionally not used for these. However they can further stabilize the emulsion. But blood also as fibrinogen which is part of what makes it gel when heated as part of coagulation and this would impact texture

Essentially like:

1 part blood 3-4 parts neutral oil Tsp vinegar or lemon juice Tsp Dijon Season to taste

Prepare the same as mayo

You could also boost lecithin content with additional lecithin from soy or sunflowers but that’s kind of against the spirit

I personally am vegan but find the food science of this interesting. I think eating animals is cruel but at the same time I would be interested to know if this actually could work or if you ended up with blood vinaigrette.

Mmmmm deviled blood.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago (2 children)

What risks or other concerns come with eating blood instead of eggs?

Besides sourcing, I guess.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

Too much iron in your diet isn't great.

[–] LouNeko 3 points 4 days ago

The main risk is that you might like it.

[–] slazer2au 16 points 6 days ago

Scrambled Blood sounds interesting.

[–] Treczoks 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Now that would make some seriously odd cakes and cookies...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

I mean, bright colors make things more cheerful, and red has more positive than negative symbolism attached to it. If you put a small amount of blood, you can have pink cookies, isn't that lovely?

[–] ytsedude 13 points 6 days ago

I'm good, thanks... ((Nervous laughter))

[–] RouxBru 10 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It's not that weird. Take black pudding for example

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, but black pudding is weird.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

okay then, take morcilla sausage

Hope you got to the hospital. That looks like a nasty stroke.

[–] dukethorion 6 points 6 days ago

Well that's one way to boost your iron intake.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Blood is delicious! I cook with it everyday. Adds great flavor to ground beef

Now that Nazis are back, the term 'grammar Nazi' probably needs to retire. How do y'all feel about "Alphabet Al-Qaeda"?

Okay, but I won't. I'll eat crickets and mealworms first.
