    Next year I want to see Theorist actually buy the right kind of Christmas tree and then make this food from it to tell us DEFINITIVELY how much food you can make from your Christmas tree and whether it would be reasonable to eat it all before it expires

    • @benwagner5089

      That is my biggest concern. How much actual tree is used to produce the "ingredients" in a tree-course meal? When I google it, I'm seeing that 6% of the log's volume becomes sawdust at a sawmill, so we'd be dealing with 3 pounds of sawdust from a 50-lb tree. That leaves 47 pounds of needles, branches, and trunk to cook up as well.

    • @mongoose9851

      Honestly, I think the best way to "eat" a Christmas tree is to grind it up into mulch, mix it with mycelium, and use it to grow edible mushrooms.

      @@benwagner5089 Your math needs some revisiting. Volume measures volume, not mass.
      Also, the sawdust _is_ branches and trunk. Stopping the blade at 3 lbs sawdust seems real arbitrary. Grind it, dry it, and a 50 lb tree should net you about 20 lbs of sawdust. Maybe that's 6% of the volume, I've no idea.

    I would expect the xylem to be the easiest part of the tree to find recipes for. Just look at how many foods contain cellulose or cellulose gum, which is often made from sawdust. If they don't know or care what they're eating, it's common for people to actually prefer cake made with a batter which is about 1/3 cellulose.

I wonder what will be the next Christmas special, but I hope it'll be something as over the top as a pine tree. Hope to see these recipes and have a chance to try them: the "Fa-la-la-lafel" sounds really great.
