SNACK TIME: Genmaicha!, Drink more vinegar, Australia OKs pot food, Man Cans and salami chips
- Strolling through the Spice Terminal at Reading Terminal Market the other day, we came across a loose green tea with what looked like popcorn, or popped rice in it. On my next trip, I will absolutely pick up a bag of what is called Genmaicha — the rice (yes it was popped rice!) adding a little bit of a hearty, toasty flavor to it. Serious Eats tells a pretty intriguing story about the origin of the tea — most likely a Japanese legend.
- The scent of the ferment in my beloved bottles of kombucha constantly drives those around me to remark on its unattractive, vinegar-y aroma. It's something I happen to like about it — and I guess I was right the whole time. (HA HA.) It's always been advised to consume apple cider vinegar daily for better digestion, but check this out: flavored vinegar drinks that internally balance your acids with your alkalines and regulate your appetite. You know it's going to be the next chic craze, so give it a try.
- We're not sure how, but using cannabis in beer and various desserts has been OK'd by the Board of Health in Australia. Supposedly, "industrial hemp" has low enough levels of THC to not affect consumers of such things, so it's acceptable, Slashfood reports.
- My candle smells like gardenia. Yours smells like butter cream. Let's face it, candle-buying isn't the most manly of hobbies (unless you're my old friend Andy, whose poke at Yankee Candle is so worth watching), so why not try Man Cans? Invented by a 13-year-old who made fun of his sister's girly scented wax pots, Man Cans smell like BACON. Man Cans smell like PIZZA. Man Cans.
- Last week, I thought "bacon" made from shiitake mushrooms was genius (it is), but who was I kidding? Y'all are probably more interested in the real thing. What about salami chips? YumSugar shares a little easy as pie how-to: Just bake your salami. The make an SLT. Dip them in stuff. Put 'em on a burger. Cholesterol-free, I promise.
You have been able to buy all sorts of hempseed foods in the US for a long time. It doesn't get you high.— BarryG- BarryG, well aware, but the article gives the impression that we're talking about the plant, not the seed.— laurelro
- No it's about the seeds if you read The Australian article. I don't think the actual plant is very good eat, even if legal.— BarryG
