Welcome to the Internet where you can find fun trends like dance videos, Grimace Shakes, and… stir-fried stones?! Yes, street vendors in China are actually selling rocks to customers, and they’re eating it up! But why? WHY would you eat a rock? And better yet, where do trends like these come from and should we continue to do them?

yeah this, regardless of if about baking or anything else (cells in the human body that die and get replaced and other examples), is a question humankind has been asking for eons. It's referred to philosophically as "the Ship of Theseus", wherein a boat's parts are replaced one by one over time, and the question arises; is it still the same boat at the end, if all parts were changed completely, and at what point is it no longer the same boat? my guess is by technicality, at 51% changed material.

I went out to eat with my coworkers today and I saw that the restaurant offers ladies night on Thursdays with discounted drinks/food items. I know many restaurants do this sort of deal for different categories as well. It would be cool if you can do a food theory about the origins of “ladies nights” at restaurants! Kinda got me curious!!

@Twekion 9 месяцев назад

Ooh, I didn't know that was a thing, now you got me curious too!

@doomdragon6 8 месяцев назад

I can't speak for EVERY place, but the origin would have been something like bars. Men would go there looking to meet women, but women wouldn't go there because there was nothing but men looking for women there; so the ratio was terrible. By offering ladies' nights, they give an incentive for women to visit the establishment. At restaurants, it's offering an incentive for a group of people to visit a place as opposed to any other place. If Thursday is Ladies' Night at Applebee's, then on Thursday a woman is more likely to visit Applebee's than all the other places that don't offer a discount, AND they're likely to bring their friends, increasing business overall.

@rustyhowe3907 6 месяцев назад

@wizard8437 2 месяца назад

Ladies night for any establishment is to get women in for free so men come in and spend money in their establishment trying to land and impress women. There was a song called “Ladies Night” by Kool & the gang in the 70s, you’ve definitely heard it before if youre American and don’t live under a rock. Nightclubs started using the term after the songs game and by the 90s “ladies night” was a global thing for women to get in easy and men to spend it all on a chance. If they are doing it at your restaurant, it’s to attract you and your friends and get guys to spend money in the establishment off of your mere presence. Edit: which is what guys do anyway, it’s just more incentive to have more women there, it helps ratio, and makes a club seem like more of the ‘spot’ if more women are present

There's a rock soup here in Mexico called "sopa de piedra de oaxaca" but here the idea of adding rocks is that they are part of the cooking, not necessarily of the ingredients. The rocks are heated up enough to make the broth boil once they are added into the rest of the soup. The plate is served still boiling with the rocks sticking out in the middle, supposedly giving it flavour and helping the broth stay warm.

Actually, my mom has made bread for years both before and after the pandemic! She doesn’t make it that often, but around Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Easter, she makes amazing cinnamon rolls! Those cinnamon rolls are a brioche, a type of enriched dough (baking nerd code for “We added eggs to this”) with tangzhong, a Japanese technique for cooking the flour beforehand to make the bread fluffier. Sometimes, she also makes pizza/calzones/Stromboli with homemade crust, although again, this is a special treat and not super common. But it does happen!

We have had a lot of famine food in Norway, because of the winter. Most of it was with potatoes, fish or mushrooms though lol. They would salt the fish so it would last through the winter.

Norway wanted a bigger marked for our salmon so they got Japanese chefs (in Japan) and together came up with salmon sushi. Before that they didn’t use salmon on sushi

Found it😁 Stone Soup is a European folk story in which hungry strangers convince the people of a town to each share a small amount of their food in order to make a meal that everyone enjoys, and exists as a moral regarding the value of sharing. In varying traditions, the stone has been replaced with other common inedible objects, and therefore the fable is also known as axe soup, button soup, nail soup, and wood soup.Wikipedia

The traveler then picked up a stone and knocked again saying he could make his special stone stew and she was curious as well as hungry so she let him in to see how he made the stone stew. Then he placed the stone in a pot and started heating it up but then told her it would be much better to if they added other ingredients so she did add water, carrots, potatoes, and other ingredients until the smell of stew was wafting threw the town. Other neighbors came in and were curious about the stew so the traveler said they remember having stone stew with chicken so the neighbors said ‘I have chicken’ and they brought it to add to the stew. Then the traveler said the stone stew was ready there was plenty for all but the village was disappointing that the magic stone for the stew was used then the traveler said that the stone is still intact and they realized that the stone wasn’t magic. They all realized how much stew was made together so from then on the neighbors shared what they had among themselves.

The homeowner was obviously surprised so he said yes.

In the end, the poor man took off the rock and went to eat a very nutritional soup :)

The MRE laxative is just a pervasive rumor. They say it's the gum that's in every MRE, but I always chew the gum in my MRE (because it leaves a better taste in my mouth after the rest is gone) and have never had any effect like a laxative.

I still make bread after the pandemic. Just mix your flour water and sourdough starter or very small amount of dry yeast and leave it on a counter while you go to work when you get back it's probably ready to cook.

Talking about famine foods in Finland there was pettuleipä which translates to bark bread. It replaces some of the flour used to bake bread with what is basically (over simplification incoming) very finely ground sawdust. This how ever didn't become delicacy later on probably because taste is bitter and can cause stomach problems when consumed.

I have a thought thats been bugging me for a while. Could you theoretically dry out a loaf of bread, grind it up into a fine powder, and then make a new loaf of bread out of it? Like this seems far fetched but hear me out. Bread at its most fundamental is just flour and water, you can add other stuff to improve the bread, but if your goal is just to make bread and not good bread then that's all you need to make bread. (Edit: spelling error fixed)

We have stir fried "rocks" where I live if the present context of the pasta al sassi is to be applied. "Rocks" in the form of clams, mussels, etc, stir-fried with seasoning then consumed by sucking out the "flavour" i.e. the flesh that has been seasoned within the shells via the cooking process. In fact, China already has these kinds of dishes.

@SweetSauce2023 9 месяцев назад

I'm Chinese, and i was living in China for 20 years of my life. The stir fry rocks is a small regional delicacy where some people from that province may enjoy sometimes even when they have the money to buy other real food. Me, from the northern part of china, has never had it in my life, or seen people around me eat them. I'm surprised to see it in night markets! A lot of people are definitely trying it for their own curiosity, or it's an easy way for them to gain money throughout different shorts platforms. I don't think the dish will actually take off, and be offered in Chinese restaurants world wide. There are 8 big regional cooking systems in China, and they have so much deliciousness to offer.
