      Only issue is that kimchi is made to be preserved, and most of the reason store bought stuff is bad is because of the preservation techniques. So I can definitely see store bought kimchi holding its own.

      I've never had banana on pizza, but I assume it's at least in part based on "Flying Jacob" (casserole with chicken, bananas, and chilli sauce or curry), which is delicious. I guess I'll have to try a banana pizza next time. Certainly can't be worse than pineapple.

    • @sugarblue7571
      @sugarblue7571 Рік тому +5

      Its similar to pineapple where it balances a salt-forward dish with sweetness (also similar to tomato on a pizza but people have preconceived notions so that comparison goes over most heads). Many latin american cuisines also use bananas, plantains, and yucca to do the same to salty dishes.

      ​@@lazydictionaryI guess that distinguishes whether you enjoy your time making the kimchi. I do it because its fun, and I usually do it when I get a whole heap of cheap/free cabbage that would otherwise be thrown away. There's easier recipes too though they usually arent as delicious, and once you have a good starter you can also do away with a bunch of the cautions you'd otherwise have to mind.

    ok northernlion i'm gonna contest you on the kimchi. I live in vancouver:
    -dried shrimp: $5~ a bag
    -nappa cabbage: $.99/lb
    -gojuchang: 5.99 500g
    -gojugaru: 7.99 or less 500g
    -green onions .99c bundle
    -rice starch: 3.99/lb
    altogether you use all of the cabbage and a little bit of each item so you end up spending like $3 per portion of kimchi opposed to $8-10 store bought.

    NL is making the wrong argument when it comes to store bought vs homemade food. Homemade food is in aggregate much better than store bought in terms of quality and taste, the trade-off is about convenience and possibly quantity. For me personally the trade-off of having to plan, buy the ingredients and then work for an extended amount of time in the kitchen to make the dish (and having to clean up afterwards) for a potentially 8/10+ meal that i'm going to finish in 5-10 minutes just isn't worth it compared to buying it store-bought, heating it up and then just eating it for a 4/10 to 6/10 meal. If the trade-off is worth it to you, then i'm honestly envious of and happy for you.

      @@kyleyjs I agree that kitchen work is front-loaded, but that's exactly the problem if you're already an adult learning the skill. It's hard to justify spending time and money up front for a skill many people don't strictly need when you're working, commuting, and maintaining your home already. It's a privilege to have not had to learn cooking as a child, but it is equally a privilege to have the time, resources, and equipment to learn it as an adult. Compare it to the Peloton if you want an Egg-based analogue.

    The factory HAS been working on their recipe for generations, but not to make it better. Just to make it cheaper. Homemade with fresh ingredients is always better. The question whether to buy store is only about if the quality improvement is worth the time investment, the effort, and getting the ingredients. For stuff that benefits from the economy of scale in commercial batches, like kimchi, it often isn't, but that doesn't mean the quality improvement wouldn't exist.

    I wanted to take a second to comment on the store bought vs homemade kimchi thing. I understand that the website was only made to siphon ad revenue off people making the food but its not like the kimchi factory was lovingly perfecting the recipe out of the goodness of their heart. Sure, its formulated for sales but its also formulated to serve profit incentives. Everything you buy is only as good to consume as it is cheap to make. Everything is made as cheaply as it can while some demographic will still buy it. At least with a recipe you can get the idea of how to make it and tailor it to your own tastes.

      @karlklein2263 Рік тому

      @thaDjMauz this is sort of a tricky question to answer, but a valid one. I'll do my best to not throw jargon into it.
      Essentially, like anything else, in moderation kombucha is perfectly fine and a good way to get prebiotics. For lack of a more elegant way to put it. It's also a lot for your kidneys to filter out. Caffeine, many times sugar, and the smidgen of alcohol are all things your kidneys are going to have to filter out. It just so happens those 3 things also increase blood pressure which when excessive can have many bad effects related to your arteries.
      This begs the question of "how does it compare to an orange mocha Frappuccino from starbucks?". Well simply put that drink is murder on your kidneys and liver as well. Are you eating a healthy diet? A kombucha every other day or so is fine. Are you eating trash piled on trash? Kombucha is not going to save you and might contribute to knock on effects from poor diet.
      I hope that was helpful.
