    Holy crap, I served that exact sambocade recipe to my medieval lit class in college, from what I think was the same manuscript! It turned out well enough, considering it was most of my final oral presentation. There was also a kind a mushroom quiche that I agreed to make before I realized exactly how pricy saffron is, so I guess I really paid for that B+.

    that moment when you realize why the spice trade was such a big fucking deal
    (because in some little pockets of the industry, it still is)

    It was certainly an educational experience to spend 10% of my monthly food budget on yellow powder for a school project I wasn't sure would fly!

    Every single time I watched Chopped one of the chef contestants would be browsing the spice shelf, pick up the saffron, and use a gigantic clump of it. And I would just shake my head slowly.

    saffron was widely cultivated in western europe for much of the middle ages so it wouldn't necessarily have been considered the luxury ingredient it is now

    in fact depending on the area and time period it might have been a staple flavoring agent, like black pepper is today

    That would certainly explain it's prevalence in mediaeval cookery.

    Thats interesting.

    And yes, why does almost literally everything have salt and pepper added to them.

    Salt does good things to food if you apply it right.

    It’s almost more about chemistry than the flavor of salt, in some cases.

    That's true.

    If you add salt to salt it will taste saltier.

    I keep wondering this myself.

    I get the salt thing, it enhances flavour. But why pepper? Pepper just makes things taste like pepper. Who decided that every single meal should taste at least a little bit like pepper?

    Well my dogs love Bk's nuggets they will rough you up for them
    as I got the family deal 3 whoppers 3 cheeseburgers 3 small fries and gave the buns from one of the burgers to the dogs
    It was odd as the last time I went to BK was back in May they were only doing drive up so it was rather awkward to do on a bike so they handed my food with one of those long hand things from the door

    He points out the sodium amount well since I stock that stuff I have been looking at the sodium rates the Buffalo chicken one of this series has over 2700MG of sodium in one serving

    It's my sister-in-law's birthday today. Because I am terrible at thinking of gifts to buy I like to just do the birthday food and then I get out of thinking up a present.

    For dinner I'm going to do home-made chicken kievs full of garlic butter, chunky chips roasted in goose fat, and sautéed savoy cabbage with cream and bacon bits.

    Birthday cake is chocolate sponge filled with strawberries and cream.

    And for a gift I've made these gin and tonic truffles

    Happy birthday! I got you heart disease!

    The pumpkin spice blend is a delicious blend of spices that are very versatile and I wish pumpkin spice flavored products were available all year.

    "Pumpkin pie spice, also known as pumpkin spice, is an American spice mix commonly used as an ingredient in pumpkin pie. Pumpkin pie spice is similar to the British and Commonwealth mixed spice. It is generally a blend of ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and sometimes allspice"

    I don't see myself ever using cloves, or I would make my own mix

    https://www.budgetbytes.com/how-to-make-pumpkin-pie-spice/

    4 Tbsp ground cinnamon
    1 Tbsp ground ginger
    1 Tbsp ground nutmeg
    1 Tbsp ground allspice
    1 tsp ground cloves

    The ratios vary but yeah, it's just a standard spread of spices for baking.

    Cloves are nice though. But really strong! You usually only need 1-2 in a dish.
