what is it, msg?

>>5532802
Doesn't actually look like msg. Those look like longish, skinny crystals. It would make sense, though.

>>5532810
>>5532802
According to the label it contains onion, tomato, soy and some of the other shit they classify as "umami".

Tomato, onion, soy sauce powder (SOYA BEANS, WHEAT, salt), garlic, fish sauce powder (salt, FISH), mushroom, black pepper, lemon juice powder, cayenne pepper, anti-caking agent (E551). Total salinity: 9%

>>5532802
From what I can read:
Tomato, onion, soy sauce powder, fish sauce powder, mushroom, black pepper, lemon juice powder, cayenne pepper...

>>5532821
Now just how the fuck are you supposed to eat that?

>>5532821

it looks good but it's so wasteful because I don't think they ever drink the fruit

also the only people I see carrying these are obese middle aged women or young skinnyfat girls who wear uggs year round

Hm. Good on them for making Unami without just selling the unami flavor on its own (MSG). I know MSG health risks are exaggerated, but less sodium is still good (To an extent I know, but still).

I wonder how it tastes. Probably bad or like nothing, if it's in this thread.

>>5532824
you dont

its an accessory

>>5532825
Wait, that's a drink??

>>5532838
I think it's just a fruit and water infusion, but the fad version.

>>5532827
I wouldn't even know when to use it, since you could already add "umami" to you dishes by using the actual fucking ingredients.

>>5532847

same way you add salt.

>>5532838
voss glass water bottles

stuff it with fruit

now you're burning calories

>>5532821
The only place I have ever seen this is here on /ck/

A food fad blast from the past.

>>5532847
Try it with everything you cook for a week and see where it fits?

>>5532838

yea they chop up fruit and put it in water so that the fruit flavors infuse into the water

the people I know who do it don't eat the fruit though, it's so fucking wasteful

like you have that much money to waste and you're still fat? There are so many good foods that are naturally low in calories but your fat ass can't just drink some water and eat the goddamn fruit?

>>5532860

be glad you don't live in california like me

I'm >>5532825 and I really wasn't exaggerating

>>5532893

It is a Norwegian brand of water, it even says Norway on the bottle in that image. Voss is also a place in Norway.

>>5532883
>has anyone ever made a pimento olive cheese and celery jello-cake?
I suspect plenty of 50's housewives did. When I bought my house I found a whole collection of 50's cookbooks buried in the attic. You simply would not believe the amount of sick shit they were telling people to do with Jell-O.

The one that gets me is Fiji Water. It seems to me that if you lived on a tropical island surrounded by ocean that fresh water might be in short supply and you really shouldn't be shipping it away.

>>5532899
What the hell is wrong with that? It's mildly terrifying appearance-wise, sure, but gelatin is pretty neutral by itself. Betting that had a fun consistency and a tasty seafood flavor.

>>5532905
Read up on that company. Its pretty dark.

>>5532899
I like it's face. It looks happy.

>>5532821

I see these all the time at my gym. But I don't find it very annoying because it actually tastes pretty good, the girls I've seen with them are pretty fit, and I have seen many of them fish the edible fruits (strawberries etc) out and eat them although of course not the lemons/limes.

>>5532815
so it's just a bunch of sources of glutamates

>>5532899

>>5532915
Must be me. When I was a kid my mom was convinced salmon was something that only came in large cans. Absolutely gross.

>>5532890
It's a plastic bottle.
With a large opening. That's why all the ladies use it. For the girth.

>>5532933
That does sound grim. Dishes like the one you posted are a good use of low-quality seafood, to be fair.

>>5532938
mines glass

but i live in aus so maybe its just different here

also the opening is only like 1.25 inches in diameter

>>5532899
I like it is face. It looks happy.

>>5532938
>VOSS
>plastic

>>5532938
Its glass, and though the opening is relatively larger than other bottles of water the reason most women use that specifically is because Voss is expensive and "fancy". Plus unless you have a giant bottle how else are the other women going to see you drinking healthy fruit water?

>>5532945
>good use of low-quality seafood
True that.

I used to complain during Lent. Her response"It's Lent. You aren't supposed to like it." She basically destroyed my ability to enjoy seafood to this day.

>inb4 Activated Almonds

>>5532974
I've seen more plastic VOSS then glass.

>>5532899
QFT, except I would add '70s recipes to that. My dad bought an old two story building with some apartments in the upper floor that had been sealed off and untouched since 1997. When we broke in there were plenty of old books, including cookbooks from said era. So so many gross recipes, especially the "Chinese" ones. Protip: adding soy sauce does not make anything Asian by itself.

>>5532876
>the people I know who do it don't eat the fruit though

Why the hell not?!

>>5532938
still voss is plastic bottle, sparkling is glass bottle

>>5532799
I have this thing
It's not bad. It gives things a slightly vinegary depth. Reminiscent of the effect of dissolving an anchovy, and works well in places where that fishiness would be too strong.

Do you know how much sugar there is in fruit anon? I don't wanna get fat.

I have had good aspics. Remember, in good ones the gelatin comes from stock or consomme, not a jell-o packet.

>>5532799

Natural and organic foods

>>5533317
I was skeptical at first but I found "organic" carrots to have a lot more flavor than non-organic.

>>5532799
this is hilarious. umami is literally MSG, but try marketing that to the chemophobes of the west...

>>5534010
That's actually good though.

Why the fuck did she leave the strawberries whole? If she wanted the flavor wouldn't she cut them to get the flavor? What the fuck.

fuck

i just realized what the new "LOOK AT THIS HIPSTER THING, ISN'T SO HIPSTER" thing is going to be 5 years from now on here when in reality it was the hipster thing last year.

>>5534370
It's supposed to be an 'infusion', there is very little flavor involved. Compared to actual fruit juice, you're probably getting less than 5% of the fruit's flavor into the water.

The water has a 'hint' of whatever you've thrown into it and it smells a little fruity but that's really about it.

>>5532899
It's fucking DAGON!

I'm the person you quoted. They're fine, I wear them occasionally when it's cold. My point was that they wear them year round. As a fashion statement, even if it's hot. They're not ugly if you're wearing casual wear, but when you pair them with jeans and an otherwise normal sort of outfit it's just silly.

>>5532821
Alright, I'll bite. I went on this stupid fad for about a week until I realized how dumb it was. One of the main reasons I did it because pictures like pic related, and seeing articles online praising it. I quit because it wasn't doing much, and I felt wasteful for cutting all that fruit and not eating it (because it was a soggy mess). It's better just to drink more plain water in your diet. The fruit is really an accessory so you can look cute and fit.

No, umami is glutamate. MSG includes glutamate.

Same folks who told that kid he was cool and rugged.

Not really a food fad but people think because something is gluten free that it is healthy. Come on now we don't need every item marked as gluten free if it doesn't even have breading or is not a baked good. Pic extremely related.

>>5537046
>>5538370
It's probably just store procedure to mark all 'gluten free' products.

Some people with gluten hypersensitivity, or those buying / preparing food for them, use the labels as a guide.

It doesn't indicate whether the product should've been processed on a dedicated gluten-free line or whether it's just not a 'hidden' ingredient, but this way people don't need to contact the company to try and find out (although that's probably more reliable).

its literally just because of "Norway". its "designer mineral water" and sold for roughly $30 a bottle. and the fruit polluting the water is "detox" water....a trend stupid fat girls try and delude them self's with that by drinking water with lemons and strawberry's in them its going to purify their bodies and "melt fat".

My sister does the water thing with cucumbers and mint leaves. It's pretty refreshing.

>>5539632
What part of that was confusing?

>>5539837

It's just water with good marketing.

>>5541016

It's not just salt. Otherwise what you said is correct.

This. No, drowning everything on your menu in it is NOT going to turn your shitty overpriced dinner joint into a Michelin-starred fine-dining restaurant. Sorry to disappoint now. Now kill all of it with fire while you still can.

Seriously though, I would not object to a rule that you need to have a Michelin star to be able to buy truffle oil. It would make going to upscale restaurants so much more bearable.

>>5541025

so assuming i have an electrolyte imbalance, what are optimal things to consume to help me out?

>>5541033

First, I think it's highly unlikely that you have an electrolyte imbalance. That sounds like something that was not diagnosed by a professional.

That said, uhh I guess if you took a banana and blended it with salt and milk you'd be pretty well off. Can't imagine it'd taste good though. But seriously unless you've got some sort of full retard diet you should be fine on electrolytes.

>>5541033

Which way is your imbalance? Too much or too little?

>>5541040

too little

>>5541040

because we all know how many people are diagnosed as having too many electrolytes..

>>5541048

it's very common. another term for it that you may be more familiar with is "dehydration".

>>5541045
Pedialite

>>5541039
>That sounds like something that was not diagnosed by a professional

i vomit everything i eat.

>inb4 well there's your problem!

duh

bloodwork confirms electrolyte imbalance. just need to know what to consume in between purge periods so i don't keel over. gatorade seems to do the trick sometimes, but not consistently.


milk though? really?

what if i mixed some low-sodium salt in with water?

>>5541039
I've had hypokalemia a few times (diagnosed by doctors in a hospital). Some of us are prone to electrolyte imbalances. (hypokalemia is too-low levels of blood potassium, and it causes paralysis). It really sucks. And yes, I eat plenty of bananas. On the plus side I have hypercalcemia so I've never broken a bone despite some nasty falls and fights.

I'm going green and drinking those green shakes you see people slather all over. they make it out to be a wonder drink that cures everything, but I mainly just view it as a convenient way to implement greens into my daily life. and I heard kale smoothies help you poop.

I am a RD and most people do not realize that there is a difference. I feel like a douche when I point out that I am a dietitian (people will ask me "oh I heard from bla bla bla you're a nutritionist?") but I can't help it. Nutritionists make us look bad since most people think we're the same.

http://www.eatright.org/RDN/
The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics' Board of Directors and the Commission on Dietetic Registration have approved the optional use of the credential "registered dietitian nutritionist" (RDN) by registered dietitians (RD).
The option was established to further enhance the RD brand and more accurately reflect to consumers who registered dietitians are and what they do. This will differentiate the rigorous credential requirements and highlight that all registered dietitians are nutritionists but not all nutritionists are registered dietitians.
Inclusion of the word "nutritionist" in the credential communicates a broader concept of wellness (including prevention of health conditions beyond medical nutrition therapy) as well as treatment of conditions.
This option is also consistent with the inclusion of the word "nutrition" in the Academy's new name.

I spent 26 years eating cooked meats. Now people eat it raw and pretend it makes them cultured. If you want a healthy alternative eat quinoa. Less mercury.

>trying this hard to impress people

>>5545648
why, its true

>>5545675
>implying I honestly dont just like it.
I couldnt give a single shit about what other people think about the food I like. I just like dat shit mayn.

>>5545675
>it's impossible people on this earth might like something i dont like

>>5545678
>>5545679
>try harder, poserfag.
Its like Ugg boots. No one finds them attractive. People just buy them and pretend that they like them. They're "being ironic" as the most useless people on the planet would say.

>>5545638
I see cooked eel, shrimp egg and crab stick rolls. How d o you miss that?

>>5545683
I saw numerous pieces of raw fish.
How do you miss that?

Seriously, you're fucking retarded if you didn't understand the context and how the image goes with it.

>>5545683
but apparently you missed the raw fish and fish eggs.

japanese internet defense force is out and about.
shouldn't they be watching shitty cartoons and abusing cats or something?

>>5545685
Sushi is not a fad. It has been it the united states since the 1960s and in Japan since the 8th century. That's like saying "hurr durr i hate burritos why do people eat those chipolte burritos what a fad".

>>5545688
>child propagating a fad claims to know whether its a fad or not.

ya ok champ.

>>5545697
alrighty, I love to argue but goddamn this is going nowhere. nice troll though, you kindof layed it on a bit thick at the end though

>>5545696
EVERY SINGLE FAD EVER has pre-existed its "fad moment". I mean, seriously, you ignorant cunt. Did no one notice that that silly fruit water beverage is just a cordial? muttle that fruit a bit, add some honey, and its just like gran used to make.

god youre dense

>>5545701
>gets called out for ignorance
>cries troll and flees

This is why fads persist, because idiots like you are incapable of seeing what giant tools they are. Sushi is the fedora of the food world.

>>5545705
>Im not allowed to like food because its popular

>>5545701
>nice troll though

>>5545706
>only likes food that is popular
You still don't get it. This is why you are a tool. I'd be willing to bet that you're the kind of person that tells everyone they need to watch Breaking Bad and Mad Men, because both shows are so awesome.

>>5545703
>typing on the internet

yeah ok, kiddo.
I don't think you understand the difference between a fad and a convenience. Not surprising really, you don't seem to understand much.

>>5545717

>>5545721
>not having to cook fish isn't convenient
nigga r u high or something

>>5542922
It makes me feel sad that there are people out there that look at food with a checklist in their head and turn their nose up at foods that don't have enough ticked boxes for them.

>>5545724
You know nothing of sushi, its preparation, or that there is an entirely different and ridiculously high standard that fish must meet to be "sushi quality". Seriously, you just keep putting your foot in your mouth and your idiocy online. A normal fish that you would cook doesn't require any of the rigorous standards that "sushi grade" fish does. Not to mention that the japanese lust for "quality" fish has led to insane amounts of overfishing just so japs can have their fatty tuna.

>>5545735
man you gotta go outside and get some fresh air

>>5545735
>worrying this much about sushi preparation and not just going to a sushi joint

>>5545743
Only if you promise you'll stop breathing air from the same planet as me. All the fresh air is needed for people who don't reside is retarded fantasy worlds where they pretend to be cats.

>>5545756
>doesn't get context
damn, you are such a tremendous tool I feel like adhering a Black & Decker sticker to you.

>>5545756
>implying going to a sushi joint and ordering raw fish is more convenient than going to anywhere else and ordering cooked fish.

>>5545735
i bought salmon today. they had three types. sashimi grade, wild local salmon, and california king salmon. sashimi grade was the least expensive.

Sushi grade means the fish has been frozen below a certain temperature to kill parasites.

>>5545788
>local wild
>california king

Yeah, of course it was. Jesus fuck you are retarded. I live in an area where most of the local jobs are as fishermen. Around here we have two types, sushi grade that goes to the numerous hipster sushi joints, and then the rest. Price ranges from organic farm raised, all the way down to what some kids caught that morning before school. Sushi grade is usually one of the highest, only beaten by local farm raised bourgeoisie fish raised in gilded pools and fed fresh truffles.

tl;dr
im getting drunk and trying to inform your retards is getting more tedious. Seriously, how do you people not realize that you are gigantic tools? Did you also buy a pricy smart phone just so you can check your facebook and play stupid games? of course you did, youre a tool.

>>5545804
haha i also just bought a pricey smart phone :), i got the wild local salmon though.

>>5545804
also, are you sure you saw "least expensive" and not "most expensive" because i don't really understand what you're saying re:

>Sushi grade is usually one of the highest, only beaten by local farm raised bourgeoisie fish raised in gilded pools and fed fresh truffles.

>>5545820
>just bought a pricey smart phone :)
damn you and everyone like you.
i understand that my priorities in life are pretty far from "normal", but ive come to realize that "normal" people tend to be close minded and so ingrained in society's systemic brainwashing efforts that they are incapable of functioning outside their little niches.

>>5539856
Not that guy but I found this:
http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/10/27/What-You-Didnt-Know-About-Fiji-Water.aspx

>>5545831
And that's why I make a point to buy over priced Fiji water. There are too many bleeding hearts on /ck/ that cry for fair treatment to animals and sensible water consumption. Fuck that and fuck you. From now on I"m only eating something if I know I'm perpetuating misery and hatred in the world. I'm tired of feeling guilty, but boy oh boy does it feel good to be a cunt.

>>5545822
Sushi grade fish, around here, cost about 30% more than regular fish. Excluding organic farm raised, which costs about 50% more than normal fish. Normal being the shit the local fishermen bring en masse to the markets. Though, if you really want to go cheap, look for kids fishing in the mornings before school and ask them if they're selling their catches. You can get super cheap quality fish. The only worry is how long the fish was sitting in some kids bucket with god knows what else.

the point being that the fish used for sushi is of higher quality than other fish used for cooking. Organic farm raised isnt necessarily higher quality, but you pay for the fact that its organic and farm raised so you can feel special or whatever.

Obviously, the most important aspect of these is the clear bottle, so everyone can see how innovative and healthy you are while you go about your day. And it's even hipster and douche-bag approved!!

>>5545638
But I DO like some raw fish.
Tuna and Salmon are DELICIOUS raw. Especially fatty tuna. It's so smooth and melts in your mouth and has a nice flavor to it.

Mackerel is kinda fishy, but it's a hearty meaty fish when raw.

Raw octopus is good and chewy too.

Fish eggs are good with a little rice. They compliment each other well.
Also, the unagi and shrimp are both cooked.

Uni is only good raw. Cooked, it taste like ass.
Raw, it's silky smooth and buttery.

>>5545642
do it healthy, omg it's healthy, something with healthy in the name
