Clearly the key to success is how hard-boiled the eggs are.

[-] Drusas@fedia.io 28 points 10 months ago

I was a little curious why the egg has to be hard boiled.

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 33 points 10 months ago

Because it's harder to digest! The point is, you use more calories digesting a hard boiled egg than you get from it. Or so the theory was at the time.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 33 points 10 months ago

Well that's just fucking nonsense. At least the celery myth starts on the premise that celery has 15 calories a serving instead of an egg, a food literally packed with all the calories and protein you need to make a baby chicken.

Does celery have a lot of protein? TIL

[-] SolarMonkey@slrpnk.net 9 points 10 months ago

No, but it also isn’t calorie-neutral, or calorie-reducing like fad diets claim..

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

That's nuts. I just assumed it was because hardboiled eggs are cooked without additional fat

The thing is, flavor wasnt invented until about 1980

Which is wild considering the spice trades of the… (according to the internet, prehistory through modernity, so that’s a thing…)

I have to assume that 1950s housewives were so thoroughly drugged up that they couldn’t tell the difference..

I know that they made everything in jello/aspic because gelatin was formerly a luxury, like sugar and basically any spices, so they went a bit batshit when they got cheap access..

I've been watching Sandwiches of History on YT lately, and noticing how much anchovy paste he goes through. I'm certain that 100 years ago, people were smoking so many cigarettes they had no sense of tastes except for the strongest concentrates.

[-] Drusas@fedia.io 2 points 10 months ago

Anchovy paste makes sense, much like using soy sauce or fish sauce or miso paste or even tomato paste does. You just don't use a ton of it. It doesn't necessarily taste fishy, but it adds a lot of umami and salt. It improves most soups, for example.

No butter or margarine maybe?
