cinnamon in tomato sauce

I’ve tried this once, and I can’t say that I liked the result. I guess that my spice profiles simply doesn’t combo well with cinnamon, since when I use baharat instead (that contains cinnamon) it gets great.

That’s rather curious to read, when you’re from a chunk of Latin America where MSG was never seen as a big deal - it’s that stuff that you’d sprinkle over rice croquettes, or use in some Asian dishes, and… that it? The only times where I’ve found people claiming headaches were on the internet. (Usually known by the name of a Japanese brand.)

I tend to avoid it though - at least pure MSG is boring. Soy sauce, beef broth, tomato paste, Parmesan, those are usually better - because they’ll give you that savouriness plus other flavours. And it’s outright pointless to sprinkle it over meats, it’s like dropping a bucket of water in the ocean.

Eh, I got this once, too. It was specially face-palming because OP of that thread requested advice about a beef and vegs dish, and I suggested him to sub MSG with soy sauce. Typical witch hunting mentality, that’s what happens when you don’t kick out assumptive and context-ignoring people.

Dunno about other people, but in my case:

  • I don’t consider killing a dog for eating as intrinsically abusive.
  • I never ate dogs, but I’d probably try it as long as raised and butchered as livestock. On the other hand I’d never touch someone’s pet potbelly pig.
  • I’m drinking and you made me crave salami.

I can butcher it if she wants help. It shouldn’t be too different from pigs.

(It’s really precious though. Think on how many kilos of meat it has!)

My top 3, in order: cooking onions and garlic together, then baking bread, then making curry.

The smell of orange peels is amazing. It reminds me my grandma - she left them to dry over the wood stove, so her kitchen was always smelling like orange peels. (I don’t recall what she did with the dried peels, I think that she did it because she also liked the smell.)

I’m not sure on the reason - instead of “it sounds dumb for me too”, I think that it’s entitlement. Something like “15min of my life are more precious than 1h of your life.”

There’s a bunch of weird ones in Portuguese.

  • “Caroço de manga não é sabonete” Do you think that mango seed is soap? = “this is an absurd proposal/situation/etc.”
  • “Pobre só sobe na vida quando o barraco explode” Poor people only ascend on life when the [shit]shack explodes. = “don’t expect social ascension”
  • “Enquanto vem com o milho, já comi a polenta.” While you’re bringing the corn, I already ate the polenta. = “I’ve already handled this, you’re too late.”
  • “um polaco de cada colônia” a Pole from each settlement = a bunch of randomly picked people or items. I don’t think that people use this too much outside Paraná.
  • “farinha do mesmo saco” flour from the same bag = extremely similar in some aspects that matter (and usually negative ones)
  • “comer o pão que o diabo amassou” to eat the bread kneaded by the devil = to go through rough times
  • "Vai chupar prego até virar tachinha!" Go suck an [iron] nail until it becomes a thumbtack! = somewhat polite way to tell someone to fuck off
  • "Vai ver se estou na esquina." *Go check if I’m around the corner." = also a way to tell people to fuck off
  • "anta quadrada" squared tapir = “anta” tapir is used to call someone stupid, so anta quadrada is stupid to the power of two.
  • “anta cúbica” cubed tapir = because some people do some really, really stupid shit.
  • “mais louco que o Requião de pedalinho” crazier than Requião on a paddle boat = Requião is a politician here in Paraná known for his crazy antics. The phrase highlights that something is completely fucking crazy. Clearly local.
  • “teu cu” your arse[hole] = definitively, clearly, and blatantly “no”.

Defatting and deboning won’t help much, the taste/smell impregnates into the meat. Instead I’d recommend marinading:

  • add enough water to comfortably cover all the meat
  • add 10g salt and the juice of half lime for each kilogram of meat plus water
  • massage the meat a bit in the marinade
  • leave it overnight, in the fridge for at least 12h

Feel free to add other stuff to the marinade, like herbs, garlic, onions, ginger, oil, etc. Just keep in mind that you’ll need to discard that marinade water, you can’t really reduce it into a sauce, so anything that you add there will go to waste. (If you must, marinade it twice)

Got this trick from helping out rural relatives butchering pigs. They often raised the pigs to adulthood, and sometimes they forgot to castrate a boar or two.

Why do jc141 releases use DwarFS, instead of more typical compression formats like tarballs?

Thank you, and sorry - I made sure to read the FAQ, but I couldn’t find the answer for this specific question.
