It's an AI voice reading a script.

I don't want this thread to be about AI anything, have you got any food tips ?

[East Sun]

Potatoes that have green skin have been exposed to sunlight and I have been told that that exposure changes them to make them toxic in some way. I don't remember the details except that it is better to avoid them.

I have seen potatoes growing in ridges with the unexposed ones looking fine when dug up and exposed ones beside them having green skin in the exposed spot.

Are these good Food Tips, or are they trash clickbait sensational content with no justification of extraordinary claims and no explanation or even acknowledgement of unsaid factors like time in da fridge?

I was tempted to post some own good tips about food handling and preparation, but this thread doesn’t look serious.

[norman]

Then Make it serious, that's why I started it.

Can you find many videos on line these days that are not formatted and thumbnailed as click bait ?

I don't give a stuff, in fact I ignore it, what the click market dictates, if I intuit that it's worth posting on merit, I'll post it.

Sure thing bro.

So in 2025 I switched up to bagged salads, from full Romaine lettuce that served on sandwiches and burgers. Some folks might find that abhorrent or just gross, but I say these bag salad kits are well engineered. They last for days in my fridge, probs even longer in the supply chain. I suspect the bags have nitrogen.

Anyways, my food tip is to use the ladle end of a flattish wooden spoon, to bust up the croutons in their little fragile plastic bag. You lean on the thing, position and direct it with the other hand. Quality of life.

Green 'spuds' were well understood to be "bad to eat" when I was a kid picking them (all day Saturdays) on our tiny little farm. If a bag I'd filled in the field was found to have any green or partially green potatoes in it my dad let me know in no uncertain terms that I was never to let that happen again. In fact, for a long time, he didn't trust the bags us kids filled so he'd tip them out on the barn floor and re pack them himself before risking dropping any off at the outlets he supplied in the town, mostly seaside chip shops and 2 fruit and veg shops.

Time for a proper response to your post #7, norman, along with a good little nugget of a food handling tip.

Serious is, as serious does, to paraphrase a wise old (?) scriptwriter. My food tip here, is based on letters. No ordinary letters, but edible letters. And these edible letters have spawned an expression (and hence the actual precise emotion) of deep social significance. What is anyone’s first recollection about Kamala Harris? Yes, WORD SALAD, a lower order subclass of ALPHABET SOUP!

So, I find “give a stuff” to mince words. The phrase feels the opposite of verbalizing a noun, even though “stuff” is both a verb and a noun. Intruigeing.


OK enough banter, now to my invention. I call this “JIT food prep”, referring to the business model Just In Time, which schedules materiel arrivals closer to time of need.

When I make a grilled cheese sandwich, with tomato slices and sometimes half a fried hamburger sliced up and included, as well as inclusions of Cayenne pepper and Dijon mustard, that good food asks for more.

Uh huh, mayo and ketchup. These are presented as a side dish, sometimes accompanied by Wine Saurkraut. When present, the latter gets a fork, while the mayo and ketsup use the same (soup-) spoon, but opposites top and bottom. Red schtoff on the bottom, and always applied second. Bite by bite.

“Stuff” will have to wait, deserves its own post anyways. Verb, noun, turkey, the gamut.

2026 is looking good, so far, for the most part. May good vibes be and stay with y’all.

Whaw ! . . . even if this thread goes down in flames, it's already dropped a payload.

You've surprised me with this Rawhide, thanks loads.

Now to get seed and convert my zero maintenance jungle back garden plot to what it should have been a long time ago when I first gave up fighting the local micro climate that whooped my conventional gardening ass the first few years I lived here.

Thanks Noman.

If I didn't live in a shoebox apartment in the center of an industrialized western country's small apartment with only 2 windows always facing north (no sunlight ever reach my windows)
,and having a huge gray concrete wall fronted with busy every traffic every day as view, I'm very limited in what I can grow unfortunately (some strange cactus from my mom is still alive :-) .

This thread will NOT go down in flames Norman!, It's a topic we on this channel have great interest in, and even if my hands are tied toda, to go out and plant...

This clip from James Corbert at https://corbettreport.com/ is also worth to consider.

Medieval Peasants Knew Something About Sourdough We Forgot
Medieval Way - Jan 2, 2026


Medieval bakers knew a secret about sourdough that's making modern bread destroy your gut.

Every slice of supermarket bread today takes 45 minutes to make. Medieval bread? 24 hours. And that missing time is why millions of us now suffer from bloating, inflammation, and gluten sensitivity that our ancestors never had.

Because during those 24 hours, something happened in the dough. Medieval bakers—without knowing it—were using bacteria to disarm a chemical weapon hidden inside every grain of wheat. A weapon that modern bread still has... but medieval bread didn't.

Twice The Protein Of Eggs. Grows In 7 Days. Why Every Government Wants It Gone
Lost Plant Remedies - Jan 22, 2026

-UqTUHE7NFA



They call it pond scum. NASA calls it the perfect space crop.
Duckweed contains 45% protein by dry weight. Eggs contain 12%. Beef contains 26%. This tiny floating plant beats them all—and doubles in quantity every 48 hours.
One square meter of water. Thirty days. Enough complete protein to feed a person for a month.
No soil. No fertilizer. No tractors. No labor. Just water and sunlight.
Southeast Asia has cultivated it for 3,000 years. NASA studied it for space missions. The World Bank called it the most resource-efficient protein source available to humanity.
So why is it illegal to grow commercially in 37 U.S. states?
Why is it classified as a "nuisance species" instead of a food crop?
Why have you never seen it in a grocery store?
The answer involves a $400 billion animal feed industry and regulations that conveniently protect profit margins over food security.
In this video:

The exponential math that makes duckweed 140x more efficient than soybeans
NASA's research on the "perfect space crop"
How Bangladesh turned sewage into fish protein for less than $0.10/kg
Why regulations ban commercial cultivation but not backyard growing
How to start your own protein production system for under $20

Studies referenced:
→ NASA Advances in Space Research (1985)
→ Rutgers University amino acid analysis (2009)
→ University of Jena human feeding trials (2014)
→ World Bank protein efficiency review (2019)
The global food system says protein is expensive. A plastic tub and two weeks says otherwise.

Better Than Spinach. The "Immortal" Tree That Feeds You For 20 Years. (Don't Buy Seeds)
Spinach dies after 3 months. This plant lives for 20 years, grows 6 feet tall, and produces sweeter leaves when it snows. In this video, we uncover the Purple Tree Collard—the "Immortal Green" that defies the cycle of agricultural slavery by turning into wood instead of dying.

IN THIS EPISODE OF RECLAIMED NATURE:
📜 The Lost History: Why this "Walking Stick Cabbage" was a staple on the Island of Jersey in the 19th Century, where it grew 18 feet tall and was used to build rafters.
🚫 The Suppression: The "Seed Trap"—why 99% of seeds sold online are fakes (true Tree Collards are sterile) and why corporations hate a plant they can't patent or sell every spring.
🧬 The Science: Discover "Cryoprotection"—how this plant converts starch to sugar in freezing temperatures (acting as natural antifreeze), making it sweeter than fruit in January.
🌱 The Application: Learn why you must "Clone" it from cuttings (Vegetative Propagation), how to stake it like a tree, and the correct "Bottom-Up" harvesting protocol.


I bought a cutting from Ebay... it came yesterday and I'll be putting it in a decent sized pot - not sure how well it will do in a pot but we'll see....

This also works with lettuce as I've tried it, and I'm guessing it could also work with other vegetables, like carrots, etc. The video says it will work ad infinitum, but I'm not convinced as the regrown lettuce was definitely weaker than the original.

Yes thanks, it works at least for me it works, doesn’t hurt to try your favorites.

I plant radishes, celery, onions, cherry tomatoes from store bought leftovers because these are my favorite, and also potatoes and sweet potato or yam, great starter rather than scratch from seeds. I have also been successful with Basil cuttings started in water in an glass jar.

Some good tips in this video, although it talks about dates on tins, which was never a consideration years ago as far as I'm aware, and neither did we eat rice or lentils then either. Nevetheless it's still worth a watch bearing in mind the current uncertain climate.
