How can you not care about the kind of oysters? What I like to do during oyster season, when my seafood dealer has a 5 or 6 different kinds of oysters, is get 1 or 2 of each and have them side by side. What a revelation! They’re all totally different.

Just today I had Chinese food with all kinds of veggies sliced up in there. I picked up a piece of something and couldn’t quite tell what it was. I bit it. Clearly celery. It has a very distinctive flavor.

@The063091 Ай бұрын

@@callmechia cool dude, you can find a big piece of celery in a dish and by eating it, can determine its celery. I’m not saying that you can’t pick up a chunk of celery, bite it, and say - that’s celery. You had a piece big enough to pick up and eat by itself, cool. But if you blended up that Chinese food, and blended up another batch of that same Chinese food without celery and said “is there any difference in these food pastes?” I don’t think anyone would be like “I’m missing that massive celery flavor”
