ramble before you get into today’s episode it’s me trevor everetts the host of the podcast trevor talks too much here to tell you about a very special episode we have uh it’s gonna be all me solo not only will i be talking too much by my darn self but i’ll be giving you all a closer look into my mind the window into the inner workings of the mythical swag lord uh so i’ll be talking a bit more about me this particular episode is all about some of the struggles i’ve had coming out of the pandemic social anxiety and how some of these new connections have me kind of looking deeper into my inner self and doing some reflection so don’t forget to be on the lookout for this episode next week by subscribing to trevor talks too much on apple spotify or wherever you get your podcast a dash of heated debate a pinch of your reverent personality a skoshed nicole yelling at me but the real secret ingredient to this podcast well it’s love which begs the question is love really an ingredient this is a hot dog as a sandwich ketchup is a smoothie yeah i put ice in my cereal so what that makes no sense hot dog is a sandwich a hot dog is a sandwich welcome to our podcast a hot dog is a sandwich the show where we break down the world’s biggest food debates i’m your host josh sharer and i’m your host nicole inaiyeti and nicole today we’re taking on a topic that is near and dear to all of our hearts we’re taking on the topic of love do you believe that romantic love and sexual love are one and the same or can they be separated they can definitely be separated right that’s what i’m saying hondo p it’s like you can have all right no no we’re talking about sorry red and link just did the whole podcast series about sex and i’ve been listening to it mm-hmm what did you learn what what did you learn i learned that they haven’t experimented with each other they have not they have not that was that was theirs my thoughts exactly so today we’re talking about the idea of love in cooking what it means to transmit love into cooking uh is love and ingredient because it is the most common secret ingredient in everybody’s recipes right yeah secret ingredients my muffins is love it’s like nah it’s cream of tartar it helps you get a bigger muffin top when it hits a height it’s cream of tartar not love that’s the chemical that’s like tartaric acid in there not correct okay but what do you think it means to show either show love through cooking or to put love as an ingredient into your cooking there is so many definitions of love that it’s hard to necessarily explain in one sentence like a thesis i don’t think there’s like a thesis statement to this point sometimes it’s two friends who host a youtube channel exploring each other’s bodies excuse me they started it if they can say it on their podcast we can talk about it on ours all right you know different audience and demos are we in trouble maggie um well again love just has so many different definitions i think i think it’s a case-by-case basis of what love means to you what love means to me what love means to anybody but whenever people say they put love in their food or love is an ingredient i think that means dedication i think that means time i think that means an experience that with your food i don’t i i people say oh it’s like the best quality ingredients that’s not true i don’t agree with it people were like oh you i use like this salt i use this tomato i use this basil like i don’t think that’s what love is i don’t think love equals great ingredients i think love is taking the time and appreciation of what you have and presenting it in a very um just honest way yeah i think that’s what it is like there’s a way to take a dollar steak from walmart and put enough love into that to make it into something that will bring somebody more joy than say a more expensive ingredient yeah some people will say that’s maybe sous-viding it some people maybe say that’s putting a bunch of cool spices on it chemical tenderizer yeah some people are good sometimes some people might say that’s what love is but i i do think it’s time and preparation is what it it means to me at least which which is to say sacrifice sacrifice like not to get this is going to go down a deep rabbit hole but that’s what you do when you put extra time in your cooking right it’s the opportunity cost of i could be playing video games i could be watching football yeah doom scrolling through twitter whatever but instead you’re taking that extra time to put that into a dish to bring somebody else joy and to me that’s the sacrifice in a way yeah and i think that’s one of the essences of love in general you’re willing your willingness to sacrifice well sacrifice and compromise are like one and the same right they’re cousins they’re kissing cousins they love to kiss kissing cousins they’re kissing you never heard that term wait hold on that’s a term right what does that mean though because that’s what i’ve never heard of this that’s like a crime that’s like a relative known well oh oh it’s not a romantic kiss oh oh the term kissing cousins doesn’t mean romantic kiss what does it mean oh this podcast is off to a weird start nicole i guess it’s a it is a relative known well enough to be greeted with a kiss oh which is all of my family members i’m gonna say that’s culturally independent you know yeah yeah my family south african everybody kisses on the cheeks yeah like you know yeah well anyways uh point is yes sacrifice compromise love all those things are into it do you like would you say you cook with love often and you cook often for your husband i do do you cook with love for him more i try to all the time but also i it’s one of those situations where it’s like i cook all the time anyways and it’s like do i cook at home now and then do i transmit the same energy and the food that i do for a show and the food that i create for my my romantic partner it’s like where’s the line like i i like i like there’s different energies when i cook i do agree with that like there’s like like i say all the time intent matters i want this food to be good for the bosses that sign my checks every day and then i also want the food to be good for my husband but i also don’t want him to die of corn or heart disease so i don’t want to put too much butter in it but also he like has his dietary restrictions and like he always says it’s good but like sometimes it’s just like not like i’ve come to terms with that what do you mean sometimes it’s not like do you do you think he lies you think he butters your bread just about your breath well that’s what partners do sometimes sometimes you give like a little white lies to like keep each other but do you would you like intentionally serve him a bad dish that you knew like hey this is messed up i’m not going to take the extra time to try and figure it out fix it i haven’t done that yet yeah i mean like i’ve done things where i like overcooked a steak before and like there’s nothing i can do at that point i mean i i’ve done the same thing and then what i do is i hack it up i find like you know a jar of salsa in the fridge i saute up some like peppers and whatever else i got and then you some you kind of pivot that dish to something else no i still like presented as is and i just i’m just really apologetic and the whole time i’m eating it i’m like i’m sorry i’m sorry are you is it okay i’m sorry are you gonna be okay with this i’m sorry so um that’s what i do no that okay i so i i cook dinner for julia i mean almost every night um like pretty much every single week night i cooked dinner really nice of you on sundays depending on how hungover i am i will do like a fair amount of meal prep and i’ll you know get sauces marinades like literally this sunday i marinate like four pounds of chicken then i’m gonna i’m gonna go out and grill i i made like a slaw you know doing a kind of little classic barbecue chicken also you and i had a conversation recently that when we cook in our own homes and this is not a sponsor but we make what we call hello fresh-ass meals oh all the time yeah it’s like every i feel like every weeknight meal that i cook is like a hello fresh ass meal it’s like this is my spicy turkey bulgogi sliders on whole wheat rolls you know it’s like it’s healthy it’s flavorful it has to be healthy on the healthier side i guess yeah but it’s still like creative and has some you know some you knew unique flavor combinations yeah but when i cook for julia um i you’ve seen me cook for myself in the kitchen for you do you remember what i told you i’m gonna make after this podcast no we have boneless skinless chicken breast and we have cabbage and i’m going to put both of those in a pan and i’m going to bash it up and i’m going to pour some salsa and yogurt on it and i’m going to eat it with a spoon and when i’m left to my own devices like before i was in a relationship yes that’s like how i would eat a lot of nights it’s like a really it’s a really tasty mush of food yeah but it’s like look i have a lot of stuff to do uh i just need nutrients and flavor inside of me yeah but then now i’m like going out of my way like love i think that’s love it’s like sacrificing that part because that that’s what i sack when i put love into my food to me that means i’m taking the extra time to like yesterday i uh made perfect matchstick cuts on the apples to go into this lovely little champagne vinegar slaw okay with whole mustard seeds and the vinaigrette so yummy but you know what i mean it’s little stuff like that that i would never do if i’m just eating for myself and it’s not just like impress somebody right it’s just to show them that like hey this is something like you do a lot of things for me this is the thing i can do for you is give you matchsticks but that’s what i’m asking you is you eating the chicken salsa yogurt cabbage is that love so are you so i’m oh oh that’s like selfish i’m asking you is that considered do you put love into that meal uh i don’t no i think i get i think it’s self-compassion in a way okay because for me what the chicken yogurt cabbage meal is to me that’s me saving my energies for somebody else okay you know that’s what it is it’s like i don’t i don’t want to like burn out cooking for myself because i can like save that energy nicole our bodies are like batteries we only have i mean i feel like in a way right you only have so much emotional energy so much physical time that’s very true in terms of cooking like you said we’re cooking all the time here we’re constantly thinking about food sometimes for me if i’m cooking for myself it’s so lovely to turn my brain off and just be like this is protein this is flavor that my body responds well to this has dietary fiber in it i’m gonna just shloop it into my mouth yeah and so for me that’s me saving up my potential love that i can give to somebody else whether it’s my partner or whether it’s cooking for friends sure you know but now sorry your voice kind of got a little i was looking to get water what what do you think like did you grow up eating food cooked with love like would you say this all the time tell me about it we’re here um i got nothing else well um um my mom’s just like she just spent a lot of time in the kitchen she didn’t she was a full-time like mom she stayed at home mom like like her job was just nourishing the kids keeping a clean house and all the things that go with it so i had a lot of home-cooked meals that were very much full of love do you think that like really informed how you view your own cooking now like for other people no no not really now it’s just like a different generation different time i got stuff to do yeah unfortunately i mean yeah i wish that i had the bandwidth to like sit at home chop my own greens put it in a food processor to make it finer fry it up remove it from the fryer let it cool make a stew base cut my meat myself and like sit there for four and a half hours and make a stew i don’t have that kind of time god that sounds so awesome i know i was a style i wish i did sometimes but also i’m like i’m so blessed that i get to wake up and do what i want every day and like not have like expectations at like my home at the same time can we can we just turn this entire podcast into like advocating for more single income households because like and this is not a thing on a gender bias because i’m trying to be the stay-at-home uh parent here wow i would love to just oh my god you can make your kids little bento boxes that’s my dream yeah cut the crust off the sandwiches and carve it into like a shape of their favorite ninja turtle or whatever honey do honey do flowers red little porcupines little hedgehogs strawberries balls come on all i want to do oh yeah if i could devote my entire energy i love my job let’s just say that if i don’t get it twisted yeah i do too but like if i could devote my entire energy yeah to just the thing that i am good at which is cooking i’m good at throwing heavy metal balls and cooking and showing people my love through that task and skill i can devote all of my time to just doing that for the people i care about most yeah what a cool existence that would be yeah some people but some people don’t like that that uh that’s also an expectation for people too to always be the person to like give love through food is also probably quite tasking i mean taxing at the same time no true it sucks if you’re and especially people who like don’t want to do that like i didn’t grow up with a ton of uh food cooked with love per se which is maybe like why i feel that very strongly inside myself this is something i should give to other people maybe but i’m trying to think of like moments from my childhood um one of my mom’s signature dishes we would boil cauliflower and then you’d take a single craft american single but not craft it was like bootleg like shoppers value american single and you would lay it over the hot cauliflower and it would just kind of curl over the top and then you’d eat it that sounds good is that love you tell me [Music] maybe you tell me but i think it’s it’s like those memories where it’s like now i i want to be able to like take that and give that to somebody else that makes sense [Music] when it comes to your journey hyundai is thinking of every mile that’s where the new 2023 hyundai palisade comes in the palisade offers all the technology safety features and comfort a family needs for the journey ahead and boy does it really have so many tech safety and comfort features stay connected with the palisades wi-fi hotspot capabilities so you can keep the kids entertained on a long car ride or help a friend work on the go if you want to start that weekend trip early and if you’ve ever been clipped or had a mishap or you opened the door into a vehicle behind you the class exclusive safe exit assist the hyundai palisade has is a lifesaver it prevents the rear doors from opening if the vehicle detects traffic approaching from behind the palisade also has available third row heated power folding seats which is perfect for people who run cold and it can fit up to eight passengers comfortably taking this car with this much capacity would be a huge asset on that next group cabin you can say that again nicole it’s your journey learn more at hyundai usa.com safe exit assist is not a substitute for driver passenger attentiveness always be aware of your surroundings and attentive of approaching vehicles [Music] what happens when the fda gets involved well that’s a good question and love is an ingredient on a prepackaged good yes so what do we do then we’re talking about the idea of like how people show love through food when people very casually say the secret ingredient to my stool is love yeah right like obviously there’s no little sprinkle sprinkle powder of love it’s probably msg it goes by the name of accent accent accent yeah it’s called accents like they call like they don’t call it seasoning salt like enhance flavor enhancers yeah yeah yeah it is the one of the few american brands of pure msg on the shelves today uh and again msg not bad for you i think it’s bad for you i guess like also when people talk about msgb and being bad for you like have you heard about all the other stuff so many other things are bad for you too seriously like i don’t know sugar whatever didn’t the fda say it’s more addictive than cocaine it’s highly political i don’t know anyways uh actually that was a headline that came out a while ago that is um boy is that really a misunderstanding of the data um but anywho yeah so there was a really famous case uh and that was one of the things that inspired this podcast today where there was a bakery in massachusetts it’s called the nashoba brook bakery what is the origin of that i don’t know nashoba brook they’re based in concord uh massachusetts uh massachusetts maine concord where’s concord something tells me maine i don’t know it may mean maine or maybe massachusetts look at us remembering our second year i don’t remember had to pull it up i’m not gonna front at all anyways it was a bakery that literally listed love as an ingredient on their on their label and the fda actually had to send them a thing being like you need to re-persist yeah they’re like you need to reprint all these labels because uh love is and there’s some actual language they used ingredients required to be declared on the label or labeling a food must be listed by their common or usual name love quote unquote i love that the fda with a quote unquote is denouncing the idea that love might possibly even exist love is not a common or usual name of an ingredient and is considered to be intervening material because it is not part of the common or usual name of the ingredient fda open up your heart man they can’t let me in fda they can’t i just want to love you deeply darkly deep no what’s that song it’s called truly madly deeply by savage garden i believe savage garden please write the fda letter tell them to have love as an ingredient label uh no i’m very grateful for the fact that there are regulatory agencies that allow you to have standards um i don’t think so i do love that this is the first time because so many companies right they use love as a marketing tool to be like are craps made with love not like kind bar granola or whatever they’re not made with love they’re made in a factory yeah and then like yours isn’t hater what are you trying to say uh no speaking of kind bar have you heard the new frozen but you tweeted about it and you need to bring it into the office so i can eat it i don’t know like a snickers bar it’s exactly like a snickerdoodle the snickers ice cream bars are one of the greatest confections of all time so good but like how many times have you just wanted to casually eat one of those on a week night it feels weird she’ll be responsible as an adult yeah as an adult you can’t do that right yeah i think kind bar comes out this is not a sponsor i’m just enamored with it because there’s so few times where i see a new product and i’m like that is good i’m on that that is a good product uh well shout out the nature valley nut nut butter biscuits i just had one and it was fine pretty fire there’s probably love in there yeah there’s always definitely but the kind bars they take the structure of the snickers ice cream bar but then it’s like all made with almond and dark chocolate mm-hmm and likes a little bit of sea salt on there oh my god like haagen-dazs ones yeah and you don’t even notice that it’s not like real dairy ice cream because it’s not no it’s like it’s almond based wow wow yeah bro you gotta get on these okay anyways the point is uh fda officially said that love could not be used as an ingredient which is good my favorite thing this is actually uh something i did not know until mindy wrote it in our research packet shout out mindy this is something that i did not know uh also in the factory there were remnants of pepper jack dough which has a dairy allergen observed on the inside of the lip and outer edges of stainless steel mixing bowl for granola and then also approximately a one-inch long crawling insect underneath exposed ready-to-eat foods in the pastry area i didn’t know that about the about this bakery that you just love in the ingredients yeah so they’re using love as a smoke screen to cover up the fact that they got bug infestations in their actual things not as uncommon as you think no i know yeah i i used to i i will you don’t have to call anyone out if you don’t want to oh i’ll leave the name of the company’s clothes but uh when i worked for him we had a little like red alert when the health inspector would come and we just had a closet and we’d just take all the crap that wasn’t safe we’d throw it in the one closet and then have someone stand guard sounds accurate i mean the best restaurants do this remember the squirrel squirrel jam one of the most popular restaurants in l.a very very fancy charged like 13 dollars for a piece of toast and it’s an incredible pizza toast never had the pizza toast there you’ve heard the you never had the toast i’ve had i’ve had the toast i’ve had the ricotta toast jam oh we called it pizza toast it said pizza a piece of a piece of toast i thought you said pizza toast no but that’s the thing uh but then they found out that this place was charging 13 for a toast they’re they just had these giant buckets of jam covered in mold in their walk-in and they would they’re instructed to scoop off the mold and like there’s some you know debate on whether or not that’s actually unsafe or not like apparently they had mycologists consulting and they’re like yeah that happens whatever you scoop it off and go on um but yeah it’s like a subject for people most of the time the secret ingredient in restaurant and prepackaged foods is just that there’s bug infestations and mold literally everywhere in food production because that’s how it happens no it happens it happens you can’t it’s just a it’s just a reality of of mass-produced food even like micro produced food it happens sometimes you can’t you can’t like blame the reality of like food food is gross do you think companies can cook with love no no i think it’s impossible you think it’s solely a human to human transaction yes and the way that like a brand can’t love you well i can respond to you on twitter have you seen the movie her no you haven’t seen her oh so i love where this is going let me kind of like like spoil it for you so uh walking phoenix falls in love with this phone that sounds like scarlett johansson but also the phone is in love with like 55 million other people or something and so i’m like they’re probably in love with the phone too but like that’s the thing like you can learn love i don’t think factories can recreate love and put it in food i think they can recreate time i think they can recreate processing but i don’t think they can recreate like a like a pinch of cinnamon that my grandma used to put in her porridge like you know what i mean i think you can no well okay hold on if we talked about the idea of putting love in cooking as sacrifice being sort of the essence of love right taking time away from you that you could be doing something else and trying to give that joy to somebody else what if that’s like one of these companies where the ceo now no this isn’t going anywhere but i’ll keep going with it where the ceo they’re taking a monetary hit nicole oh no oh yeah well hold on they’re like hey seven thousand dollars if we don’t wash the oats if you spend an extra 30 million dollars a year washing eight trillion tons of oats then we know that this product is gonna be two percent better and we know that the returns aren’t gonna hit us we know that we’re we’re taking a hit by washing the oats i don’t know what recipe they’re washing oats for but just play along here and the company like deliberately not making as much money as they could because they want to make their food with love that’s like a sacrifice just on a corporate scale well why are you equating corporate why are you creating monetary loss to like sacrifice of time well because i mean that’s you know extra time for they got to spend to wash the oats love is special love is sacred love is different on a case-to-case basis yeah and the brain the brands will never love you brands will never love you no like i don’t think like corporations can recreate food made with love i think they can recreate food made with sustenance and delicious flavors and being able to replicate that’s really cool but i don’t think that equates love at all yeah i just don’t sorry your point is moot that’s from the song jenny’s jessie’s girl they say your point is moved yeah remember that one time we did a gmm episode about how we cooked with love yeah did we find anything no alan that episode no yeah well that’s a whole people don’t doing a real scientific study is a lot more difficult to do like on a middle of a youtube show you know than it is say like in a laboratory well i’m saying you know like they were certain we do the best we can um but you know i don’t know if like uh trevor wanted to make sexy time with that apple pie and me of course he did you know quoting the cure lyrics to it uh there’s someone who i’ve watched cook who i think really exemplifies the idea of like putting love in your food if we’re talking about love in those like unseen moments where you’re doing the extra things adding the extra time into your food even though say science couldn’t necessarily explain that right what’s that what’s that quote from the movie thor that is actually a quote from history never seen thor magic is just science that hasn’t been explained yet natalie portman says it and speaking of love lovely love her what about a career she said she’s like really smart did you know that yeah she she went to harvard while they were filming star wars episode one anyways the point is i think loving cooking is like the science that hasn’t been explained yet of cooking anyway cause people talk about cooking as chemistry and it’s like yeah everything’s chemistry me the the voice you’re hearing right now is happening because of chemical reactions um but there’s an intangible of course that’s it that’s all the world is just interesting it makes you talk i think it’s like vocal it’s a combination of josh i think there’s more like motor skills i mean it’s the chemical synapses that are firing in your brains are happening you know this one anyways point is i think cooking it’s it’s of course chemistry but it’s also there’s a lot of unexplained sort of chemistry going on in a lot of things i remember watching uh korean chef jung kwan uh cook she uh is a buddhist monk um who cooks you know vegan food according to this green buddhist diet um and i watched a video of her making is actually with chef eric repair of making this braised mushroom dish well and every single ingredient that she had was like this is from a 300 year old tree the jinko nuts that she’s using was from a 300 year old tree and eric repair tastes the salt and he was like what is this i never had salt like this oh it’s like a five year age salt and he’s like why do you age the salt and she’s like if you age the salt it draws out the impurities and then also it removes some of the bitterness and like i don’t know if you could actually measure that with the speculum or whatever the is that a very a speculum is used in wait hold on and stuff yeah but what was i thinking of spectrometer oh god oh no i’m at spectrometer what’s the spectrometer mega look up spectrometer not speculum it’s like when you mix up kabuki in the other word spectrometer i don’t know if you can i don’t know if you can measure the impurities with a spectrometer or speculum um but i mean every single thing she does there’s like you know an extra 12 steps that i would never think about but it’s it’s learned you know through one she believes cooking is an act of meditation that’s very nice wow what a pleasure it must be right to think of food as meditation oh my god yeah instead of just it being your like your daily dose of stress it’s not stress it’s just like it’s nice to know that she’s taken something that is that is so necessary for life that’s like saying drinking water is meditation well i mean that’s uh god i took hey i’m a white guy who’s going to talk about what zen buddhism is welcome to california but no i took i took one class in college about the history of zen buddhism really fascinating and uh apparently that was a really big thing was like literally meditating while doing simple tasks like sweeping a floor um cleaning and prepping leaks was a big one which is why i want to get the leak tattoo on my own i love do you know that i’m obsessed with teaching about people how to clean leaks really oh my god i like talked to trevor and v all the time like these are so dirty this is the best way to clean them yeah yeah yeah that’s a big thing there was there was a um a buddhist teacher that like believed in cleaning leaks that’s like the best form of meditation nice that’s a big thing but i think you know it’s those unseen steps um the things that you are sacrificing for you know that you can put in your food that really is a form of love i think you’re right i think you’re right [Music] there are few better foods to eat during the summer than a nice juicy grilled piece of chicken or steak or salmon that’s

out there in the twitter verse it’s time for a segment we call opinions are like casserole [Music] first up we got a guy and babies got a bunch of babies running this instagram account he’s a guy with a bunch of babies kids shouldn’t have instagram tiller at least three uh if you make something and it’s not as good as you hoped make sauce dressing and hide it we literally josh literally says he does this just yeah you don’t do that i try not to why i don’t don’t know when your mistakes lie about it i i i know i know i do that yeah i do this all the time um you know what the single best ingredient you can keep in your in your pantry or fridges yes what george salsa heck yeah it is i don’t i don’t feel like people know it enough as like an ingredient to add to things i think it’s just a condiment to dip chips in mine’s hummus you just saucing it up with honey no i don’t do this i’m just saying the one thing i always have in my fridge is dip it in hummus hummus brush your teeth with hummus johan style stop so embarrassing uh yeah this is true uh it went in doubt ranch it up baby and pass with the q instead of an a says mayonnaise is gross and doesn’t belong on anything unless as a butter substitute i like mayonnaise what are you talking about yeah this is a very common opinion not to shame this empath also for an empath like you’re not being empathetic i’m just curious about what how special butter is to you that you think mayonnaise is gross doesn’t belong on anything unless it’s a butter substitute what are the things you’re substituting grilled cheese sandwiches yeah like that’s it i remember going to a fancy restaurant when i was like 18. it’s the first time i took which one uh it was called te amo ristorante in laguna beach high school girlfriend and i spent like three weeks worth of you know uh like camp counseling she had cold snow money i had counseling money would just say like not enough to cover the gas in my 95 ford taurus uh but i like you know dropped all the money i had on that dinner and they served grissini i know what that is bread stickies yes instead of butter mayonnaise dipping breadsticks and mayonnaise right right there on the beach and i loved it she was weirded out by it um but i kind of dig using mayonnaise instead of butter on like most things i don’t love butter that much what is what is whipped butter if not mayonnaise yeah yeah fair enough whipped butter is literally cow mayonnaise yeah a lot of people think mayonnaise is dairy ain’t got nothing to do with dairy i sometimes used to think that when i was younger why are eggs kept in the dairy section um that’s a great question i don’t have the answer you should ask people that own uh ralphs they’re kind of like reaper kroger kroger why people think eggs are dairy it’s weird people think eggs are dairy well yeah just because in the dairy section should i i feel like that’s a twitter poll worth asking is eggs dairy eggs are not dairy of course they’re not but they’re i feel like people think they are no they don’t it’s how they think that that normal milk is vanilla because chocolate milk is chocolate josh you just have past trauma about that and i’m sorry oh that makes sense all right next one up we got at emeline underscore p cottage cheese and applesauce was the best snack of my childhood i feel like you grow up in a retirement home no no then hold on one we don’t know what era they are but how many like boomer to gen x parents i grew up with cottage cheese i did too my mom was trying to lose weight in the 80s the newton’s with the pineapple yeah yeah yeah and so this is a very common i take a little bit of jam throw that on some cottage cheese and just eat it and now i haven’t stocked cottage cheese in my own fridge ever as an adult either i don’t like dislike it i just what am i going to eat cottage cheese i’d rather have the yogurt than that i’ve started getting more into greek yogurt like i try to eat at least a greek yogurt a day because i have such good probiotics oh my god i started doing what huh dude when we have kids uh-huh they’re gonna be recording the same podcast they’re like greek yogurt and like uh honey what did you grow up in retirement kids are gonna continue the legacy of our pod of course well i don’t know i mean like inshallah but uh you know but no like everything’s cyclical in terms of diet right greek yogurt is for sure the stupid thing that we eat that our kids are gonna go you’re so stupid for eating that but it’s not a it’s not like a diet thing it’s just good probiotics it’s a diet thing for me well it is for you yeah i mean not like a diet thing but it’s got like 20 grams of protein and three quarters of a cup like of course i’m just gonna add that to my random chicken cabbage mixture chandler q02 says foods that tastes like chicken tastes like chicken in quotes have zero right to be prepared if chicken exists is made poorly so this is like fake i love you you think you couldn’t make a perfect vegan mcnugget substitute i could try beyond’s doing it right now they or maybe it’s impossible ah one of them those companies wouldn’t like that i’m getting them mixed up but screw it um one of them is at um panda right now and they do a vegan orange chicken that is fan for fantastic wow really yeah good for them if you order panda for lunch they got a new almond chicken that i want to try yeah you told me about this almond juice yeah like this i know what it’s gonna taste like and i want you to taste it it’s gonna be sweet it’s gonna have some almonds on it and i’m gonna love it i think it’s gonna be marzipani really like melted marzipan and that doesn’t do anything for me i’m not a post not a post all right we got at kayla bug eight ground meat especially ground beef is disgusting the texture is repulsive and the taste is too i think people get a lot of bummy ground beef yeah i mean i i eat one of my most common meats to be eaten and i kind of recognize it as a little bit disgusting are the three pound bricks of ground turkey the jenny owens uh yeah let’s not name a brand but like probably uh no i mean you know jenny oh come come sponsor our thanksgiving episode it’s disgusting and i love it uh but it’s like wet and gray you know what i mean and i just eat this wet gray ground me and it doesn’t even have like texture to it almost you can give it texture i’ve cooked with it too you gotta like really cook it hard you gotta cook it why is it so wet i don’t know it’s so wet but it’s good for you and it comes out in like lines it looks like spaghetti in the package i like oh my god i like there was like this whole thing where like i was a food stylist and i like got into fights with the director because they’re like take the ground meat and shape it into a ball in a bowl so the lines don’t show but i’m like the lines are cool that’s how you know it’s ground me and they’re like now and i’m like no i think i agree with you though it’s like that’s what if you were to draw ground meat in a cartoon yeah like that’s what it would look like exactly yeah yeah that’s what i try to explain i support you and thank you thank you i don’t work there anymore it doesn’t matter i also see how people would find like industrial ground meat a little bit disturbing especially like if you grew up in a household that didn’t eat a ton of meat and you just see that like this was once an animal that’s pretty wild yeah and that said a good like you see how they make like japanese natsuki man what’s the other one um sukuni uh-huh not tsukemen uh well they’re like hand chop the meat that’s good which is fun i like a lot more texture like every time like i go to like a good butcher and i see that like big dye like big dye cut like uh groundbreaking of course yes beautiful and you can see the pebbles of the white fat with like this beautiful like like red and sometimes like ruddy red oh we got we got we got that ground beef from a local butcher called gwen that are owned by curtis stone friend of the show i’ve always wanted to protest ground beef is the best we have friends of the show now if you want spotify it shows who the guests have been it’s pretty rad i know i’m so proud of you okay elizabeth underscore sasha says stale doritos actually slaps so i have a friend who loves stale cheetos is it elizabeth sasha no no maybe elizabeth are we friends um and they love stale stale cheetos but stale i don’t like stale chips some people love stale chips i’m not about that life no i like stale peeps i like stale store-bought sheet cake uh i ate a bunch of stale graham crackers last night i enjoyed that it gets soft stale graham crackers yeah i like that um stale caramel corn is great because it hardens the caramel even further that’s not good for the soft teeth community no it’s not but we we thrive on okay we’re allowed our indulgences sometimes you got to take a risk you know i ate a gummy candy the other day wow very carefully i’m sure you did anything you shoot in the front yeah yeah no loose crowns in the front baby no there’s crowns in the front uh stale doritos though uh it’s not my particular jam um it’s just the crispness of a dorito is the most pleasant chip texture of all the chip textures uh-huh oh you know and so i think sacrificing that i like ridges you like ridges right i like ruffles with ridges i like the extra thick ruffles oh you remember that one time dude it looks like aluminum sheeting it’s amazing oh my god the really crazy ruffles it looks like it’s like jagged it’s amazing and it’s going to be great from it it’s so good and then it’s the buffalo ranch flavor those were the best so much powder in that aluminum siding dude i am gleaking i haven’t heard the term glitches i am gonna go here oh wait hold on this next one is exciting to me uh we got at mr.dirten cheese on toast with curry powder is god tier breakfast and you can’t change my mind heck yes something special have okay so is this choc is this john yet this is toast chat speaking of classic indian cookery right there’s a method of making a tadka or tarka yeah where do you express the oils and the spices sure you’re making a bootleg version of this when you melt the cheese with the curry powder then you get the expression of the oil of the hot oil from the cheese on the curry powder that’s like elevating it up just a little bit more like it’s a janky bootleg version it’s not a taco by any means but heck if it doesn’t make the curry powder that you’re getting from mccormick tastes better very nice i’ve done this before and that is a delight i don’t i’ve never had the wonderful i already know it’s a wonderful combination of cheese and curry powder but i’m going to very soon and i’m very excited about that um sam.cube says chocolate ice cream is the worst ice cream it’s usually bitter and tastes like a shovel full of cocoa powder preach i’m not the biggest chocolate ice cream fan either i do love a good rocky road i do have a good malted crunch from rite aid slash 50s but yeah i like vanilla ice cream like vanilla based ice cream i like strawberry i like mint chip i like cookie dough but i don’t necessarily love chocolate ice cream are there chocolate ice creams that you do love i’m chocolate malted crunch from from thrifty that’s that one what a treat of an ice cream that is i like rocky road that could compete if you put chocolate malt and crunch in a jenny’s or what’s the other one talented gelato like one of the fancy nine dollar pint ones yeah no one would know the difference they’d be like this is one of the best ice creams ever had malted chocolate is a wonderful flavor yes malt chocolate rocks malt is the msg of desserts i love malt i love malt there are some chocolate ice creams like i think you gotta go i don’t really love dark chocolate that much especially if it’s in a dessert where it’s like i’m here for something sweet i’m trying to end my night give me something pleasant i don’t want it i love the chocolate desserts though uh but occasionally like a dark chocolate sorbet i was going to say dark chocolate chocolate sorbet is a trip because you don’t get the kind of like dairy distracting you from the chocolate that’s true just pure just iced chocolate and whatever like almond whatever you’re putting in it um non-dairy chocolate works almost better for me than chocolate ice cream nice okay we got at ratchet underscore h27 if a hot dog is a sandwich which it may or may not be is the banana that i stick in a slice of bread with peanut butter of course yeah you’re making a peanut butter and banana sandwich one of the greatest sandwiches of all time even if you’re not slicing up the banana you’re folding the bread around it that’s the same as a hot dog bun yeah of course it’s a sandwich this is an ice cream what this is ice cream oh i thought i thought they said the bananas on a stick no i don’t know how to read never mind yeah this is a sandwich no that is this is one of the this is probably my breakfast on like 30 percent of days yeah you eat a lot of this yeah yeah i take a single slice of bread and i i put the i put the banana in it so you can fold the corners of the bread together at the top that’s nice thank you for showing me with your hands yeah i’m showing the quote my hands like a steeple you know what it is you could do it so you fold it down the rectangle but no i make it like a triangle because then you get to hold it at the top that makes so much sense you know what i like to do i like to go so i don’t like to do this i like to take my banana and i take a chopstick and i carve out a trough oh and then i put banana i mean i put either nutella or peanut butter in the trough and then i feed it and then i take the chopstick and i cut it up and i feed it to people and that’s what that’s that’s lovely and that’s love that’s lovely banana trough banana trough that’s the essence ring banana [Music] says protein powder tastes like chalk but i still eat it for the macros i feel like he was probably addressing this to me no it was to my ig story uh-uh okay you you got it you got it you got it um i don’t do this what’s your macro breakdown right you going like a 40 30 30 or like what’s your split what do we lose do you do one do you do one gram protein per pound of body weight like what’s your split if i don’t do anything i just see food and i eat it literally uh yeah i think i said a joke was like i’m on the seafood diet that i get it you see it was like no i need scallops to like throw up that’s a good joke good joke i don’t track macros i eat a ton of protein powder and if you if you like trick yourself enough like i drink a thing most nights trick yourself yeah i feel like if you you retrain your body like when you were young you didn’t like black coffee you know you probably didn’t like the first sip of beer that you had you trick yourself over a long period of time and thinking that it tastes good even though it’s poisoned for your body much like protein powder um and so eventually you’ll get to a point where like me you can toss banana ice protein powder and a tiny bit of peanut butter into a blender and then uh with a little bit of dark cocoa powder in it a little bit of cinnamon did you say date what there were date in there yeah throw it in there i used prunes and it tastes like a milkshake um so i think with the right i think people who just slam in pure protein powder with water or milk it’s not great but honestly protein powder uh i get the chocolate malt flavored protein powder got actual malt powder in there ice banana uh blended up you know maybe a little bit of milk a little bit of water thin it out and that’s that’s a treat every night i really enjoy it i’m happy yeah i started tricking julia into drinking it too getting her yolked that’s love trickery tricking people into getting oh yes yes a lot of people ask me dude you trick david i’m like no he tricked me all right we got m jade mcd tahina belongs on every food not every food i do you know what i did i do like it though i i love tahini and i i think it should be used in a lot of things uh i’ll make a little tahini ranch pop down like a nice salad dude that sounds good i made like a like a kind of like it’s like a very american fried chicken fatuge made a tahini ranch yeah and i did but i did something yesterday that was really disgusting to the point where i had to kind of revamp the dish uh i like to eat strawberries a little bit of whipped cream and some some graham cracker on top and the other day something sexy oh my god it’s so sexy julie and i we we ate it while playing scrabble by candlelight when the power was out last night and that’s sexy when she beat me in scrabble by 120 points uh two times used all seven letters good for that’s the game right there she’s awesome i had a couple 60 66 point plays on triple word score i was pretty proud of that you know okay you know hit the ass runner on invalids hmm that’s pretty solid you seem really proud of yourself yeah yeah i’m happy for you he’s a big player big play for me anyways point is i put tahini on strawberries with whipped cream and it was like really bad oh because tahini is very bitter tahini straight is really you almost can’t eat it straight you need to prepare it properly yeah whatever that means but like tahini preparada as i would call it in spanish it’s like yeah you know the water the garlic the lemon juice the salt maybe yogurt some people do that water’s the important ingredient a lot of people don’t know it thins it it mellows it and it combines with the fat in a way that still makes it like nice and thick correct yeah uh but what’s the sweet version of that you see like water sugar powdered sugar sugar i could have yeah dude are you kidding me tahini oh my god tahini and like desserts is like very good just by halva just by halva well i don’t i didn’t have help i had a tahiti it wasn’t like a premeditated thing my god anyways on that note thank you for listening to a hot dog as a sandwich i love how we precursored this with nicole yelling at
