I completely agree. Every so often I get an itch to have a look at Reddit, and though the niche subs still seem alright, the comments of anything near the front page are beleaguered with low-quality jokes and karma grabs.

God forbid you’re actually interested in discussing the subject, any comment that takes more than a few seconds to write or read gets buried under a thousand others like your first examples.

Maybe a beef belly cut that’s been smoked and thinly sliced, similarly to regular bacon?

Why thank you! There’s a few “genres” of cooking and baking that I know well enough to freestyle, and a lot of it is just tasting and knowing how to balance if you’ve gone too far in one aspect or another.

Like for example, I wouldn’t normally make this with corn in it, but I’d tossed a bunch of jalapenos in with the pork that had turned extra spicy with heat stress from a recent heatwave in my area. So in tasting the stew, I decided it was overly spicy, and dumping in a half cup of corn took the spice down a notch.

I curate the communities I follow to only be nice, hobby-related things, so when I’ve had enough of the all feed, there’s plenty to see without the horror stories.

Perhaps try dehydrating the paste into a powder? Don’t know how much flavor charge you’d get, as that’d probably volatilize some aromatics, but could be worth a trial run.

I’m subscribed to both! And I’ve tossed a couple butts your way already ^-

Hah, that sounds like me! I started a few communities in places where I knew I could supply some OC, and so far its been mostly just me posting my stuff, but I’m stoked whenever I get comments!

As a mod of both !trypophobia@lemmy.world and !tomatoes@lemmy.world, I concur.

As someone trying to diet, 100% the calorie deficit 😖

That looks dang delicious!

Oh cool, I’d love to see your photos.

As much as I’m biased towards pretty pictures, posts about life in the desert are also welcome.

I’ve got relatives in Phoenix, and I was alarmed to learn that checking your shoes for scorpions before putting them on is standard procedure for them!

Well did you like it?

I’ve tried my hand at pho before, a ton of ingredients and 12 hours later I got just an okay result. Makes me appreciate the joint down the road that sells a bowl for $11.

Sure did!

Ahahahah, these were rosemary olive oil flavor, which actually went quite well the meats

I shall confess, I don’t know. All three were from a pack I found for cheap at Grocery Outlet, and I had taken them out of the bulky packaging and put into a tupperware.

Thanks, I’ll look for them at the store!

Wow that looks delicious, love the color on that yolk.

Maybe go find some comments recommending Lemmy and gild them?

Looks delicious!
