I can’t count the number of times I’ve grabbed something off the counter and ended up using the wrong side of foil. At first it was like “uh, I don’t like that.” But it turns out I love it. Turns out that it makes it easier to flip it over and eat. Turns out that it makes it easier to flip it over and eat. Turns out that it makes it easier to flip it over and eat.
I think the main problem is that people think that if you flip it over and put it in your mouth, it will taste good. Well, it doesnt. Most food has a ton of sugar and other chemicals added right on it. It wont even do anything if you try to eat it the wrong way.
A few years ago I wrote a piece for The Atlantic about how I learned to cook as a kid and how I can tell if a recipe is bad because I can taste the sugar. The piece was pretty good, but I was mostly talking about the things I knew about food, not the things that I didn’t know. Now I’m writing a book about the things that I don’t know.
That may seem like a bold statement, but I really think it is true. I have a lot of friends who are food lovers. They all say they love it when I recommend that something they’ve never tried is good. And the thing is, most of them are absolutely right.
Which is pretty crazy because I am not the type to fall for anything like that. I generally dont think a recipe is right/wrong unless I try it. Like maybe I have a food allergy. But I don’t think that way. I think that what is right/wrong in a recipe is the balance between flavor and sweetness. Which is sort of a strange philosophy because there are so many things that taste good even if they are sweet.
And this is a funny thing because we don’t tend to think that way. We tend to look at a recipe and say, “well I would never make it like that” or “that would never taste good” or “I’m not going to try something that tastes like a potato chip.” And that is not often the same thing as “I’m going to make a potato chip.” The answer is always the same.
The answer is also always the same. Whether it’s a potato chip, a cookie, candy, or whatever we can think of that tastes good, its really a matter of taste and what we think taste good. The answer is always the same.
I know I sound like a broken record here, but we can’t be trying to force something that we’re not really used to. We need to really try it out. There is a saying you can quote or adapt to this situation so it’s not such a bad thing to try new things, but it should be used with the same care.
The first thing to know is that we can’t really replicate this effect with real food. We could try to cook or bake something to see if it works, but honestly, it’s just not the same. We’re not cooking or baking anything, were just eating. Its not the same thing.
That said, I don’t think we would be doing a great job of replicating this effect with real food. As long as we are eating food that was processed and/or that was frozen, we’re going to have problems. We are not doing anything with real food that is really worth trying. As I said in the last blog post, we are going to have to make do with what we have.
