    And mild mind blowing for those non-academic: frozen meat and some veggies thaw faster in sub 4 C salty water solution and taste better when cooked.

    Forgot what it’s called: brine solution

        Haricot verts (green bean?), broccoli, soy beans, green peas, avocado chunks, corn and zucchini cubes.

        Edit: just don’t thaw your meat WITH your veggies. That might get you salmonella or yersinia.

        Second edit: Yersiniosis sucks, unfortunately (likely) got it from organic pork and veg from a farm that apparently didn’t believe in health protocols, was seriously ill for three weeks despite not undercooking anything. Now I even rinse my lettuce for at least two minutes.

            I understand the joke (regarding explosive d-word), but I have to stress this: regardless of where you live, if you have sufficient clean water available, always rinse your veg.

                Maybe they didn’t want to embarass themself by spelling it wrong? That’s the only explanation I can think of.

                It’s not that i wanted to censor the word, I just couldn’t figure out how it was spelled in time for pushing my comment before I had to leave public transport. In Swedish it’s ”diarré”, but forgot the English spelling snd then I rarely use this app more than once or twice a day laughs

          I honestly don’t understand how people in the food and animal agriculture industries, people who know just how poor the hygeine standards usually are and how terrible the quality of life for the ‘product’ is, can still eat stuff harvested from these animals.

          And the toxic bio waste from these farms is spread over feilds as ‘fertiliser’ that poisons the land, destroys the nearby water sources, and sickens the people who eat the vegetables.

          This toxic bio waste is also fed to other animals, ‘chicken litter’ is the shit and dropped feathers scraped up from industrial chicken farms and it’s sold as cow feed ffs. Pigs are fed ground up refuse food waste, plastic packaging and rot and all.

          And if you work in kitchens, you will have seen the pus filled absesses in the pork and beef, and the bloated, broken chicken legs with their discoloured burns from where the hens grew so fast their legs broke under them and couldn’t move out of their own excrement anyway because their cages are so small.

          How can people know this and still consider eating these diseased and tortured animals for food? Let alone good food.

          Ugh, sorry for ranting, this is just so fucking disgusting and I can’t comprehend how people keep eating like this and supporting these practices.

          Edit: I will try the salt water thawing for the soy beans in my freezer, thank you for the tip!
