        It’s because the bottled sewerage market demands that their product be called “refined sewerage,” or sometimes “sparkling sewerage” if carbonated.

        But it can only be called “le fizzy shitz” if it’s from the Shitz region of France.

          My brother-in-law considers it frankly offensive that there’s an actual thing called “New England boiled dinner.” My sister and I love it, but he can’t get past the name.

            I had to look it up…

            A New England boiled dinner is a traditional, one-pot comfort food that originated in the northeastern US. The dish typically includes corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, and carrots, all boiled together in water to create a broth. Other root vegetables like turnips, rutabagas, or parsnips can be added. The corned beef is cooked until tender, and the root vegetables become so soft they can be cut with a spoon. The dish requires little attention and no extra seasoning

            🤦🏼‍♀️

              So, in defense of this, the corned beef in question usually has a pretty complex seasoning profile. It’ll have a big packet with peppercorns, cloves, bay leaves, dill, mustard seed, coriander, and a few other things. (Sometimes mace or nutmeg? It varies with the seller.) The “corned” in the name comes from all the spices (it’s “corn” like in peppercorn). And at the table it’s often also served with mustard or Worcestershire sauce, which brings a whole additional suite of spices, as well as pickled beets. So it’s not as flavorless as that description makes it sound. But it’s true that the corned beef does contribute a salty, savory note, especially to the cabbage.

              It is legitimately a very mild, comfort food kind of dish. Vindaloo this isn’t. And we like that too! This just fits a different kind of mood.

              I guess I just think it’s hilarious how much of an anti-advertisement the name is. Like, it’s so emphatically not going to appear on the menu of any fancy gastropub. Caramelized pear and arugula flatbread with candied walnuts and gorgonzola? Nope. Boiled dinner. Deal with it.

    If you want to do “water based cooking” for vegetables try steaming instead of boiling.

    I’m convinced that everyone who starts one of these weird diets and feels better has a random food sensitivity that just happens to get cut out by their diet.

    Like, you feel way better on that crazy carnivore diet where you eat only meat, but it’s cause you have undiagnosed celiacs and eating only meat happens to cut out all wheat.

        I’ve thought that because of my celiac tests coming back marginal and all the other issues I have, but I get wounds on my skin that take months to go away and severe anxiety from gluten which I don’t think can be caused be fodmap sensitivity.

    Somehow, without the aid of nuclear devestation, people have managed to reset to Year 0. Just “rediscovering” shit that already existed as if it’s new tech. And then try to sell it to people.

    It’d almost be funny if it didn’t make me so fuckin mad.

        Oh god no, I don’t talk to people in public any more.

        I have repeatedly gotten “oldman yells from porch” angry when seeing a string of "peak"s and "absolute cinema"s in the comments under any form of media which, at best, can only claim it wasn’t trying to sell me something. I won’t get further into that because it’s not productive and probably sounds elitist.

      I figured out something absolutely crazy. You can put vegetables into the ground, (you know, the dirty thing outside?) and they will literally just start making more of themselves.

      Also, you know all those naked people outside with too much hair and extra legs instead of arms? They’re made of meat!!! It’s true!

    It looks like the post was made by a Cambodian. Pov translates to ‘young brother/sister’ and is commonly used as a term of endearment. So the odd terminology could have been lost in translation. … and that looks like a typical Cambodian soup.

      Stew is thicker and chunkier. Generally made by slowly braising a big ole hunk of otherwise inediblely tough meat for a long time in some kinda liquid. Soup is generally thinner with little bits of whatever the fuck you have laying around tossed in to a broth or stock.

      Chili is a stew. A bisque or chowder is a soup.

        I think it’s more that a stew is a kind of soup. Bisque is a kind of soup, chowder is a kind of soup.

        The real question is how many noodles can you eat it with before you have to start calling it a sauce.

          Bolognese “sauce” is actually a stew and you just dump pasta in there. Don’t use spaghetti for it tho, spaghetti are for actual sauces.

        How many lentils do you have to put in a lentil soup until it becomes a stew?

        Edit: In my mother tongue “thick soup” is an alternative term for stew, even though a rare/regional one.
