anchovies, tried them on pizza before, surprisingly i love the saltiness of it. it makes me feel so primal
>>
It's not just the fiber that gives them the laxative effect. It's the indigestible sugar (sorbitol).
Sorbitol is highest in prunes, apricots, apples, and pears.

It's just that it's a lot easier to accidentally eat 20 prunes, than it is to accidentally eat 20 apples.

If you haven't eaten raisins in a while, a fun trick is to eat 2 cups. Wait. Enjoy.

soak some in brandy for a month or so, macerate it and stick it in a sticky toffee pudding.

It's not the fiber that makes them laxative. It's the sorbitol. Pulls water into the lumen via osmosis which makes your poo liquid.

Well apparently once at work somebody brought in danishes or some other pastry idk I didn't eat any, but some of them were prune and another apparently was that somebody had to go home from work because they dun pooped themself.

Friend of mine is nonamerican who opened a bakery cafe in the US and didn't understand why nobody would ever get slices of prune cake. "It's the most popular cake back home! Everyone loves prune cake!"
My ex and I had to explain to her that Americans have been conditioned to think that prunes are disgusting and will make you shit yourself if you eat it so I told her "just call it plum cake; Americans are dumb and the majority of the few who actually know what a plum even is won't know that a prune is just a dried plum so just call it plum cake."
So and did.
And it became much more popular practically overnight. Not her /most/ popular cake (because Americans strongly prefer cakes with frostings) but it's pretty popular.

Here in the Midwest people eat meatloaf all the time and I don't get why its so hated. Maybe because its not "exotic" or some shit...

And there you have it. 0 for 3. And 4, actually, because you jumped to yet another conclusion without any evidence. They should have never stopped teaching the triumvirate in American public schools.

Plum cake does sound more appealing to me, can you share what country she came from? Maybe I’ll get into prunes via prune cake
>>
>>21862687
Spinach. I've never eaten it out of a can which might be where the bad rep came from.
Fresh spinach is so good though, whether cooked into a dish or raw on a sandwich or rice bowl or something, way better than lettuce

Honestly, people hate it because of feminism. Hear me out: when women joined the worl force, they no longer had time to cook for their families and, as such, took various shortcuts in the kitchen. That was fine for a single generation but the unintended consequence thereafter was that the following generation of women never learned to cook from their mothers as girls and that lack of ability was passed down to each subsequent generation. This was less common in the south and Midwest and extremely common on the coasts where, let's be honest here, the majority of pop culture comes from. As such, each generation who grew up on the coasts and went into media (television, film, literature, comics etc) transmitted the pop cultural meme of meatloaf and other foods being bad because they never had a good Midwestern or Southern meatloaf.
It's like my ex, the same one from the bakery story. The bitch said "I hate boiled potatoes, they're so dry and disgusting". Her can't-cook-for-shit mother used to just… boil potatoes. That's it. No salt. No fat. And plop them on the plate as a side to boiled and ham or corned beef.
Who the FUCK boils a potato and doesn't add some kind of liquid fat to it? People from the Northeast, that's who. So when she had a boiled potato with some butter on that shit for the first time IN HER FUCKING TWENTIES, it was an eye-opening experience for her. Like, bitch, you eat baked potatoes with butter, don't you? Same shit, Jesus fuck.

Meatloaf gets a bad rep because it's usually overcooked in the oven and ends up too dry, and usually was slathered in ketchup to cover up the dryness and bad taste. Cook it in a crockpot instead and it'll be moist and delicious everytime. And you can still use ketchup for the glaze, except you enhance it by adding extra stuff like brown sugar, mustard, Worcester sauce etc. Also I doubt any of you dipshits have bred, but kids generally hate large hunks of meat. I've never met a kid that will willingly consume meat, so maybe some kids that grew up hating dry hunks of loaf went into Hollywood and then spread the anti-meatloaf propaganda.

That's exactly right. It was one of those ubiquitous awful foods of the 60s and 70s that everyone's mother made. It's also a really ugly food.

Don’t blame feminism for shitty moms.
Mine cooked and taught me to cook while working full time.
She didn’t want to work either, she just cared enough to do it for the family finances.
My parents were both lovely and worked full time, not everyone should parent.
And honestly not everyone should be in the workforce, some fucking idiots need to stay home and away from me
>>
>>21864793
A friend of mine came from a wealthy family, had a stay at home mom
They always ate at their neighborhood country club though, their mom couldn’t cook for shit. Now he can’t even make a grilled cheese lmao
It’s hysterical actually, he was stoked about getting a counter top deep fryer to make his nuggies
>>
>>21864793
>>21864602
>>21864721
The blaming feminism part isn't about modern day feminism, which is just code for womanly laziness, it's about women entering the workforce in large numbers. That simply wasn't a thing before the post war period. I thought the post made that quite clear.
>>21864721
And what are you even on about? Nothing you said contradicts anything I said. It simply clarifies it. Girls who never learned to cook properly from their mother's overcooked the absolute fuck out of meatloaves, yes.
>>
>>21864893
Women worked jobs that were replaced by machines and better telephone technology, and then demanded access to better paying work. It was an increase of like 20%. They were always nurses and shit too. Poor families always needed two incomes. We let corporations treat us like cattle and numbers in a book to stagnant wages and blame eachother for it.

Depends on the meatloaf. I've never seen meatballs with diced veggies in them but it's somewhat common with meatloaf. Also ketchup is frequently paired with meatloaf but while there's no reason why you couldn't use it with meatballs, that's not common.
>>
>>21864893
>when women joined the worl force, they no longer had time to cook for their families and, as such, took various shortcuts in the kitchen.

Isn't that womanly laziness? Are you blaming feminism for ruining meatloaf?That's a hilarious thesis and I'd love to hear more.
>>
>>21864939
>Isn't that womanly laziness?
Not really.
Back then, a hausfrau was expected to have the laundry, shopping, dusting, vacuuming, dinner and more done by the time hubbie got home from work, all without modern conveniences. When she entered the workforce, something had to give and often, that was dinner.
Today's women aren't nearly as busy as they were then.
>Are you blaming feminism for ruining meatloaf?
Geez, it was more tongue-in-cheek than anything, but kinda-sorta, yeah. It's about entering the workforce and lack of time after work, as stated already, for the third time now.
>>21864938
I put chopped dried tomatoes in mine. Absorbs the rendered fat, keeping the loaf moist and gives it an overall savory taste anyway.
>>
>>21864970
Anon, you keep having to repeat it because it’s retarded.
My grandmother worked, and taught my mom how to make dank meatloaf, and she worked and taught me

Interesting technique. When I was kid our meatloaf was excessively greasy, with pools of it at the bottom of the loaf ban. I'll have to give it a try if I make meatloaf again.

Mushrooms. I blame school food and their spongy elastic weird disgusting mushrooms
>>
>>21865543
My kid decided he hated mushrooms around his fifth birthday but he still eats them when prepared certain ways so o think it's absolutely a textural thing. I mean… I hate canned mushrooms because they not only smell and taste weird but also their texture is supremely unpleasant. So I get where he's coming from.
What was your mushroom turnaround moment where you were like "yeah, these are good, actually"?

Fruitcake is actually kind of legit if you get it fresh at a bakery near Christmas, I have no idea why it was given such a bad rep as being an inedible brick that could kill someone if you dropped it on them. People are retarded so I can only assume Looney Tunes used that gag in a single episode and everyone believed it for 60 years or something.

>>
>>21865967
No? Tannins contribute a slightly bitter taste and astringent mouth feel. A shit ton of fruits and vegetables have some amounts of tannins in them. Too much tannin will be unpleasant like in oversteeped tea, but the right amount can add depth beyond just sweet/sour.
>>
>>21862687
It's perfectly good. Great, even. Same with liver; and tripe (prepared in certain ways)
>>
>>21866324
Yes. Tannins made me puke tea in public in front on lots of people and I then I had to run away out of embarrassment
>>
>>21866324
>astringent mouth feel
Describe this.
>>
>>21866324
Tannins literally exist to prevent you from eating the fruit or plant. It makes people nauseous and vomit or cause stomachache depending on dosage
>>
>>21866395
like your butthole puckering when tyrone tells you to bend over but your mouth instead
>>
>>21866395
The other anon is almost correct, it’s the dry, puckering or numbing mouthfeel caused by the tannins in unripe fruits, lets the fruit mature by deterring eating.
As defined by wikipedia lol

>>
>>21866484
I didn’t use the word originally, i just thought it was funny that puckering was involved after reading the sarcastic definition
>>
>>21866276
I meant that me eating it raw was excellent for my digestion. Sentences usually work together to form coherent thoughts. Sorry you got so tribal for no reason though.

>>21867418
I personally don't care for marzipan. Super common in my country so I've had a million opportunities to try and retry it in the hopes that I won't dislike it anymore but unless it's adulterated to hell and back (like chocolate marzipan or marzipan made from non-almond nuts like coconut marzipan or pistachio), then I just don't like it.
Fruit cake is too varied a things for anyone to definitely say they don't like it, imo. Just Italy alone has three different types of fruit cake.

beans. I only ever had them served in the form of baked beans and just assumed I'd hate them in general. like I'm not going to order white navy bean soup when I go out to eat but in most cases where they're not a weird clash of sugary sweet and earthy I tolerate them fine.
