Reminds me of that episode of Star Trek TNG with the race that spoke in metaphors only, i.e. 'Juliet on the balcony' is the 'word' for romance.

Timba his eyes wide.

Does it need to whistle?

It may have the species on the bottle. Don't be alarmed if it says 'Cinnamomum zeylanicum.' That is the same species as C. vernum.

Other than that, no, there is nothing to look for, unless you plan on buying it in stick form.

Photo for comparison.

Your local grocers likely won't carry it unless you're talking about specialty shops.

If they do, it will be a bit more expensive and definitely be labelled as such.

Do you have Whole Foods?

Penzeys does mail order and online.

If you are more comfortable with Amazon, look for "Indus Organic Ceylon Cinnamon Powder" Comes in a 8oz jar for $17

That's like saying there's nothing special about Washington apples. Which is complete bullshit. Washington apples are fucking awesome.

There could be a lot going on in the background that you just have no fucking clue about. Weather conditions. Soil conditions. Shit that can significantly alter the levels of various trace chemicals.

Oh, and also the fact that most on the shelf of your everyday grocery store cinnamon is a DIFFERENT FUCKING SPECIES.

How did you work for McCormick and not know the difference between Cinnamomum cassia and Cinnamomum vernum?

There is a SIGNIFICANT difference in the coumadin levels. You know that shit they refine and sell as blood thinners?

You can eat vernum all day long and be fine. Do that with your run of the mill store bought cassia, and you'll bleed to death internally.

Penzeys Spices carries this. They are my #1 go to for fresh spices.

I think our population has grown too large to revert back to an agricultural society. We are far too dependent on modern infrastructure like container ships, tractor trailers and rail roads providing access to food grown from far away.

It would take a massive depopulation for Earth to support us without the aid of utilities dependent on electricity.

Without Haber process 'nitrogen fixing' half the planets human population would be fucked in the first year by starvation.

And people really kid themselves that they will maintain their refined state of mind and morality through such an event.

When actually faced with such a situation you WILL kill people to survive. You will do horrible horrible things. It's in out nature.

The last poster is spot on with using stock for the rice to soak up and the white pepper. Those are like essentials.

One of the most important things is use one or two day old rice. Fresh rice doesn't work quite as well. I usually cook my rice the day before. Wait for it to cool, refrigerate over night, and then let it come back up to room temp before I cook fried rice the next day.

Don't forget the mirin.

I usually don't just use egg in my fried rice, I make tamagoyaki and chop it up. Of course I also tend to use koshihikari rice, which is going overboard for most people.

Not Chinese, but here you go.

Seems the only way to avoid soybean oil is to make it yourself.

Joy Luck Palace.

They are selling them this year too. Red tin, found in the same area they keep packaged pastries like the mini cinnarolls and the brownie bites. $12 for 4 cakes.

The only reason using crack as an adjective is stupid is because meth is better.

>The ultimate hipster food

I didn't know they made avocado sriracha steak tartare

Actually this has nothing to do with the fruit or vegetable content of the juices. It's because the added vitamins are synthetic and some products have added isolated soy protein with comes from GMO plants.

I'm going to spend all mine on Powerball tickets.

If I win, I'll buy shares of Odwalla and Bolthouse with it. For the irony.

I hope you used Harvarti or Jarlsberg.

That's an oversimplification. For example, with Jasmine rice, this is horribly wrong.

If you're worried about electricity (which is kind of silly), you could always look to what campers uses:

I'm absolutely positive you'll be able to find gasoline wherever you go.

Costco sells it. It's fucking good.

They have a few recipes on the site too.

If he's a doctor, one of these shouldn't be too much out of his budget:

Umm, ok.

Why didn't you buy more than one and package them better?

Good luck on your repair job.

I'm so on the school's side about this it hurts.
