    Mmm I mean there us a lot of myth of it, even Mahayana Buddhism is built on the idea of everyone together.

    But my point is specifically that the food somewhat feeds the myth from a staple grain allowing for more available calories while developing. And their dishes center around using small amounts for large portions with simple fillers.

    It makes it feel like you could feed the poor. Better than corn starving them anyways if you know anything about Pellagra.

    Right…

    Obviously it was bred over generations but that is somewhat by design even slow and not always straight forward. And the methods of preparation have changed to allow for it to be used in lots of ways. My point was that the food shaped the culture because of its usefulness and let it be less restrictive. Why does it feel like everyone read this backwards?

    Clever recipes have been my recent go to a lot lately.

    I am starting to think the concepts of Asia being some socialist utopia comes partially from them having more simple cheap and mass made food items designed to feed lots of people for less resources. Food came first, governing style after.




  • It is wild how much local cultural food is am invention of the past couple hundred years.

    I have a family recipe that goes back hundreds of years, it doesnt look anything like people would consider a cultural food from western Europe and even then it uses tomatoes so it literally can’t be truly old.

    Heck look at how the world makes pancakes. They are all the same just somehow mixed up based on loose info or available ingredients.

    Cooking a nice meal is a modern invention. Before it was just food to not kill you.



  • Woah wait… Can we solve the measuring crisis but just measuring from the trunk at the top and all the way across then wrapping around the exposed end and back down the length on the bottom to the next obstruction?

    Wouldnt that then include the width in your overall measurement and everyone would be generally impressed at any dimension?
