Trying to be positive in an ocean of poo, making your own tortillas is cheap, fast, kinda fun to do with kids and you can augment them for extra flavour. You can even batch prepare them in advance as long as they're not in contact with air.
Many of those are the same. Pizza dough : once a month take 30 minutes preparing 10 rolls and in the freezer.
And as a bonus, less chemicals in your system.
- bruce343434 4y agoBy far the most abundant chemical in any modern human is dihydrogen monoxide, I'm not sure that any hydrocarbon you will find in a tortilla is really even a comparison.
- jlengrand 4y agoHey, incidentally that very chemical is a major part of the recipe! My bad, English isn't my native language. I guess I meant additives?
- fknorangesite 4y ago> My bad Nah, it's just that the comment you're responding to is being insufferably pedantic. Your colloquial use of "chemicals" here is perfectly well understood.
- andy_ppp 4y agoExactly, I despise people who say things like "everything is made of chemicals" or "vegetables are carbohydrates" when they perfectly know exactly what I mean.
- ben_w 4y agoWhile the colloquial is well understood and @jlengrand shouldn't feel bad about using the word "chemical" in this way, on a nerd forum like this I think it's valid pedantry — our bodies are massively complex chemical reactions, and half the stuff I've borne witness to people in my life complaining about are genuinely useful one way or another, for example by preserving the food or making it taste better.
- fknorangesite 4y agoWhile it may be useful to call out mystical woo when we see it, in this context the only thing doing so succeeded in was derailing the conversation. We all understood the first time.
- jlengrand 4y agoI understand and appreciate that you want the terms used to be correct. I feel that the tone you used probably rubbed people the wrong way. Had you for example corrected me and given me the correct terms and definitions, I'm quite sure people would have appreciated the gesture. Actually, even up to now I'm not 100% sure what I should have used :). Additives, preservatives, ...? BTW, interestingly in a previous life I studied chemistry... Only always in French
