The Problem with Kombucha 

Ur telling me this BIMBO hasn't had LASAGNA?

He had lasagna on the Disney cruise!

So true bestie

same but I'm a pretty terrible cook lmao

Only issue is that kimchi is made to be preserved, and most of the reason store bought stuff is bad is because of the preservation techniques. So I can definitely see store bought kimchi holding its own.

Another point skipper. The point is, store bought food is basically already assembled..

Yeah my wife’s cooking destroys the vast majority of restaurants I go to

Dude what the hell did a beaver do to you

This is my problem with sweet toppings on pizza, it just kinda detracts instead of adds

@@ChicaneryBear It's a Canadian thing, don't judge.

I've never had banana on pizza, but I assume it's at least in part based on "Flying Jacob" (casserole with chicken, bananas, and chilli sauce or curry), which is delicious. I guess I'll have to try a banana pizza next time. Certainly can't be worse than pineapple.

Its similar to pineapple where it balances a salt-forward dish with sweetness (also similar to tomato on a pizza but people have preconceived notions so that comparison goes over most heads). Many latin american cuisines also use bananas, plantains, and yucca to do the same to salty dishes.

Yeah I don't get how he's so deep in his bubble, man worships coke macdonalds and Costco tho

I'd rather pay the extra money and get 6 hours of my life back.

​@@lazydictionaryI guess that distinguishes whether you enjoy your time making the kimchi. I do it because its fun, and I usually do it when I get a whole heap of cheap/free cabbage that would otherwise be thrown away. There's easier recipes too though they usually arent as delicious, and once you have a good starter you can also do away with a bunch of the cautions you'd otherwise have to mind.

Big fan of making homemade kimchi here too, usually do like 1-2 Liter jars, they last a long time cos we don't eat it that often, I prefer it really spicy, which I haven't found an adequately spicy version yet in stores. That thing lasts me a good few months before I have to restock lol

I just love having a near extreme variety of drink, and don't wanna drink alcohol 24/7, so I'm like the options

You already have the best option, coke zero, what more do you need

north american options?

Valid.

I used to work at a kids play place in a nicer part of my city when izzie drinks were at their peak. I drank so many of those green apple izzies. Also I never get to flex this, I hosted tony romos kids birthday party at that job (River).

@@suakeli though both are equally likely to make you vomit

It feels like it's also ten times more likely to give you some kind of sickness but idk, I haven't looked into it

If making that shit doesnt equal the price of the product plus my wage per hour rate for the time spend, than its not cheaper. There is a reason we arent just all growing our own food etc

Egg never heard of tea and sugar apparently

You're drinking nearly a gallon of homebrewed kombucha a week? Why?

@@Spaztar It tastes good, what else should I be drinking? Also my girlfriend and friends also drink it not just me.

Valid

What's kombucha?

It tastes like rancid juice because its literally rancid juice LMAO

And i loveeee that shit

​@@mnbgt101naw dog its tea based

the trade-off is very deceiving. The better you get in the kitchen and with each recipe in general the less time you'll spend in the kitchen. At some point you'll spend 30 minutes in the kitchen throwing on a curry and rice and walk back in close to 2 hours later to prep 5 meals in 10 minutes. The best part is you have a bunch of meals that enter the realm of comfort food, food that tastes great and makes you feel good as well. I really wouldn't underestimate the value of knowing you can eat great meals throughout the week and not have a day of having an upset stomach, clean poops, a lot of energy, clear skin etc.

@@kyleyjs I agree that kitchen work is front-loaded, but that's exactly the problem if you're already an adult learning the skill. It's hard to justify spending time and money up front for a skill many people don't strictly need when you're working, commuting, and maintaining your home already. It's a privilege to have not had to learn cooking as a child, but it is equally a privilege to have the time, resources, and equipment to learn it as an adult. Compare it to the Peloton if you want an Egg-based analogue.

Catch my ass pickling produce and enjoying my time doing it

Wth, either I'm an asshole or we live in very different places. My stereotype of kombucha makers is they probably like incense and gardening and reading in the morning and dislike smartphones but cant get rid of them and judge themselves for flying once and like to buy 2nd hand clothes and going to local markets and

​@@thaDjMauz why are you describing me :D

bindingofisaacrebirth.fandom.com/wiki/Blood_Puppy

What about it makes it hard on your kidneys, and how does it compare to other common beverages like coffee, tea, coke etc?

@thaDjMauz this is sort of a tricky question to answer, but a valid one. I'll do my best to not throw jargon into it. Essentially, like anything else, in moderation kombucha is perfectly fine and a good way to get prebiotics. For lack of a more elegant way to put it. It's also a lot for your kidneys to filter out. Caffeine, many times sugar, and the smidgen of alcohol are all things your kidneys are going to have to filter out. It just so happens those 3 things also increase blood pressure which when excessive can have many bad effects related to your arteries. This begs the question of "how does it compare to an orange mocha Frappuccino from starbucks?". Well simply put that drink is murder on your kidneys and liver as well. Are you eating a healthy diet? A kombucha every other day or so is fine. Are you eating trash piled on trash? Kombucha is not going to save you and might contribute to knock on effects from poor diet. I hope that was helpful.

Do you drink coffee or hot cocoa? Well have I got news for you...

There's a lot a lot a lot of fermented stuff out there everyone eats, and kombucha is tasty

Yeah, tell me about it! Fermented grapes? Never! Fermented grains? Nope. Fermented potatoes? Never in a million years!

@njebs. Nope so there goes your funny rebuttal 🙂
