Well vodka is traditionally served super, super cold. Because it it’s supposed to be near flavorless. Vodka martinis themselves are already something of a bastardization that’s meant to avoid the taste of booze in a regular Martini.

So when it comes to vodka, it’s really just the dilution problem. Dilution will still…

technically a flavored vodka

It’s a video. The text an intro. 

Don’t put gin in the freezer. It can introduce off flavors. And while the usual “bruising” people talk about with gin is purely cosmetic, a long park in the freezer can cause things to separate out or alter some of the flavors.

Additionally once you get gin freezer cold it heavily mutes the flavors. Which sort of…

This is coming out of Cornell food science. It’s not neccisarily meant as a home appliance. Something like this should be much smaller, faster and easier to clean than comparable machines used to manufacture ice cream at scale or to make it in shops. The kind of thing that spits out ice cream continuously, rather than…

Well look at the rest of his producing credits.

Arad was part of the Toy Biz leadership along with Isaac Perlmutter who ended up in leadership at Marvel in the 90's. And essentially drove it into bankruptcy, then managed to take it over entirely in the after math.

He’s (in part) responsible for the fire sale of major…

I doubt people are eating them often enough to support 3 strip mall take out poke bowl restaurants right next to each other in low population areas. Which is what the situation is in a lot of places.

Are we speaking latin? 

It’s only been a hip take out fad for a couple years.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone eat one. I think they just yelp about them, or Yelp really want people to. You search anything on yelp and it throws poke bowls at the top of the damn results.

I think it was this episode.

I just know a lotta Jews and find the early history of this stuff interesting.

That’s actually a widely held myth. The origins of Kosher law predate Judeaism and have more to do marking a people as seperate and special than any connections to hygeine. Apparently the proscription against pork was borrowed/descended from a Babylonian priest class or something like that.

Never mind that people all over the world traditionally ate intestines straight up. Pretty short jump from that to stuffing it with meat. And especially if you’re already preserving meat by chopping it up and salting it, you're well on your way to sausage. 

Most of these cheeses are protected by the EU protected designation program. So to use the name they must be made in a particular place in a particular way. Looking it up apparently Gloucester requires the use of a specific landrace cow breed. So in a very real way you *can’t* have local production of these cheeses.…

You know what, scratch part of that. You got me reading about cheese. Apparently all Stilton is pasteurized, and pasteurization is required in it’s EU protected status. With an unpasteurized Stilton last being produced in the 80's. Which is a bit weird as goes traditional European cheeses. 

Unpasteurized cheeses aged over 60 days are perfectly legal in the US, and Stilton has a legal minimum aging of 9 weeks. About twice what’s required in the US.

For the same reason anything else isn’t kosher. Because that’s what it says in the Torah.

This is one of those things where religious rules and recommendations clash with safety.

Yeah fuck those people for doing their jobs and accomplishing a task that’s required for you to shop.
