nah wheats processed, that’s right out with the paleo people. Next up should be whole wheat gruel made by smashing it with a rock. After that, they might even invent the mill

That or vbbpf “vinegar/brine based preserved food”. And they have a ball trying to say “vbbpf” smoothly because “veeb-pfff” is considered cheating.

What has went wrong in American cuisine and food culture that it came to a point where eating soups and stews is considered subversive and transgressive by these health enthusiasts?

soup/stews are rarely eaten in average american cuisine, sauce buckets or soggy casserole is the closest that come near it. I was surprised myself.

Depends on the poorness of the people lol the continuum of saving money by making soup etc from scratch vs time saved from slopping together canned items. Only reason I can make the fuck out of a soup with whatever scraps and pantry items are on hand. I am an outlier though - I’ve long thought of opening a soup restaurant - or as these schmucks would call it a “liquid based dining experience” haha

IDK where (outside my own kitchen) you can get a good soup that’s not 100 cal and 200 sodium for less than $10.

You do get the feeling this isn’t actually a soup, it’s just boiling veggies and also drinking the water for the boil

That’s what a lot of the “soups” where I’m from amount to. Brothy, very simple, but delicious.

All cooking is water based. Managing water is half of what cooking is, next to heat.
