Or basil.
I remember pizza sauce used to have more basil that regualar spaghetti sauce. But that was back when pizza sauce had flavor. You order a pizza now the only thing you taste in the sauce is the damn sugar. In the US, people are addicted to sugar. They don't even notice it, it is in McDonald's French fries, there is alot of it in their buns. And anything that comes breaded out of a deep fryer of a fast food joint has a ton of sugar in the breading. And they want to put aspartame in milk and not have to tell you.
I made sauce and when I was putting i the basil the damn thingie cam off the top. I would up putting in way too much so it is frozen in small portions so I can use some of it for pizza sauce maybe, or mix it with a much larger pot of sauce in the ratio I choose. Or I can eat it how it is, it is not really objectionable, I would call it unbalanced. Quite possibly fix it with some strong Romano cheese, which I always keep on hand.
But now we get back to the point where they discontinue every damn thing I like. the local Marcs had this Hoffman's super sharp cheddar I like. It was like $4 maybe $5 for I think an eight ounce package. This stuff smells like other cheese tastes. Super sharp is not joke and it does not have ANY of the acidic taste of other supposedly sharp cheddars. So now I have to go Giant Eagle to get it and instead of four bucks it is seven bucks.
But, in the absence of accidents I make a pretty damngood sauce and have been told so. It takes time. Things have to go in order. Even when I make my chili for example, I put onions in twice. Same way with the sauce. And I won't make a small batch of chicken paprikash because my was takes five hours even for the smallest batch. Tripling or quadrupling it only costs a few more minutes. Maybe a hour, i5 did whe I borrowed this huge pot from a buddy and made it with seven chickens, but I fry each piece and I separate it from the bones after it is done. But the whole batch of chicken only cooks 55 minutes.
Anyway, after the basil incident, the spices always go into my hand first. You cannot take it out.
but back to the subject of this hijack - USians are used to incredibly bland food. From what I hear it is even worse in England. but it is pretty bad here, they just want sugar in everything. Sugar and salt. Read on :
Cribbing is what an animal does when it has mineral deficiencies. We all have that because of modern farming. the yield is higher per acre, but there is the same total minerals. That meas for example if you get ten apples instead of five, they will only be half as nutritious. Fat people are actually malnourished. their body tells them but cannot tell them what they need to eat to correct the problem.
Foreigners come here and tell me how the food is bland. I tell them "Not MY food !". And after much research I found that greener veggies seem to have more minerals in them than white ones like potatoes. Nut have more by orders of magnitude and guess what, they are harder to grow and pickier about the soil. And then we have spices higher orders of magnitude than nuts, and some of the are very hard to grow. It is obvious that Man does not live by bread alone. At least not now. Maybe 6,000 years ago you could live on biscuits and pan gravy but not now.
Some people simply cannot eat my food, others crave it. I make this salad dressing that only one other person will eat. It is vinegar, sour cream and sea salt. I do let the garlic lay in the vinegar for a bit though before mixing it.
People want bland but sweetened. It is a taste I have unacquired. There was a time I used to put vinegar in sauce. Now I read the labels in the cans and only but the ones with no sugar added.
Enough hijack, what was this all about ?
