Opposite for me. Coke zero is preferable to diet coke. (Neither are good.)

It's the same in Canada. Reflexive anti-U.S. bias spouting is cringe.

> reason why we add milk to coffee - it neutralises the acid This idea is prevalent and I don't get it. It may mask the taste of acidity, but milk is itself mildly acidic. It shouldn't change the pH any more than water.

I use oil interchangeably with butterfat in the context of dairy. I'm aware cheese does not contain vegetable oil or petroleum. The raclette in your linked video has begun to separate and formed an oily sheen on the outside. If you con

Yes, some preparations even rely on cheese separating. E.g. parmesan tuiles, even when prepared with PDO Parmigiano-Reggiano or Grana Padano can be seen breaking and expelling their fat before crisping. Every preparation of onion soup I&#x2

You can of course melt almost any unprocessed cheese without separating it, but they all split if overheated and don't behave well with added liquid (e.g. in sauces) without assistance from some additive. Processed cheeses with these &

Smooth texture, that doesn't break (separate into oil and protein) with heat. Those ingredients and/or similar ones are principally responsible for what makes "processed cheese" processed. So think Velveeta or Kraft Sing

Pneumonia isn't a disease in the same sense as any specific virus or bacteria. It's a condition brought forth by various things. Covid-19 sometimes causes pneumonia.

AFAIK there are no consumer monitors that do 4k at >144Hz. 200Hz+ are all 1080p.

Anglia (which is currently in Germany) wasn't a Danish speaking region until well after the Angles settled in Britain. Which was well after the Roman period. They spoke Old English.

The thymus is not the thyroid gland, if that's the connection you're trying to make. AFAIK the thyroid gland is not deliberately consumed unless as medicine.

I'd guess it's mostly the same formula, just different shapes. Maybe varying quantities of fats.

Food safety is a lot more complicated than time and temperature. Guidelines like the USDA's are simplified and overzealous to the point of harm IMO. Leftover pasta in tomato sauce in a takeout container in a car overnight has probably

Homemade pickles and preserves are undoubtedly fancy these days. They were only working-class foods when the working-class had to make them to have food throughout the year. Which was admittedly most of history, but the present is not the p

People in the US eat at home too. Do you mean to suggest Europeans eat at home more often? I could believe there's a small difference, but although Europe might not be covered in fast food chains at the same rate as the US, I'd gu

I'm surprised it turned out at all. Cooking syrup to a specific temperature serves to produce a syrup of specific concentration, i.e. ratio of sugar:water. So under-cooked syrup ends up containing a lot more water than desired, as well

This is odd from my perspective (in Canada). Sweetened peanut butter is there for people who have a taste for it. You can usually find unsweetened right next to it for the same price at any store. Salt is surely added for flavour and preser

No. If having a good drunken time with your friends actually does decrease stress in the medically important sense, it's in spite of the alcohol, not because of it. Metabolizing alcohol is inherently stressful for the body.

There's nothing wrong with chicken breast, especially if the skin is left on and crisped. It just lends itself to different applications than thigh.

For perspective: the people cooking your business lunch probably don't get a break of any kind, let alone a 30 or 60 minute lunch.

Speaking from experience, they're not. Back-of-house tends to get a slightly higher wage, but end up making less than servers factoring in tips. Sometimes a lot less.
