The not eating the pie crust actually surprises me. Apparently my 7-year-old had it right all along. It's also kinda cool how pie crust went from "throw it away, we don't eat it" to "gotta make sure I perfect the crust on my pie this year, it has to be nice and flaky."

[@weckar]

Flakey? Ugh. The best crust is rock solid, doesn't everyone know that?

[@Commy01]

Early curses (such as the standing crust) were typically hard and tough. Average people aren't going to have ready access to servingwear all the time like we do today, so they needed something that was cheap, easy to make (realtively), and disposable; while also standing up to movement.

[@fealubryne]

@@Commy01 That's really cool, I love learning about how things became the way they are, especially when they come to food. If you (or anybody) happens to have some reading on the topic I'd love to see it. Especially on when the crust went from storage to pastry.

[@Commy01]

@@fealubryne reading I do not have, but there is a channel called James Townsend and Son on KZbin that covers history (mostly food) of the late 17th, all of the 18th, and very early 19th century. The main host tries to keep it as authentic as possible. He cooks in a German kitchen with a hearth, has an indoor and outdoor earthen oven, and uses many of the same utensils that the average person would have used. He goes into the history of the recipe, the ingredients (and why some are no longer available), and tries to fill in gaps from things left out that would have been common knowledge to people in that century. Some basic things: Cornmeal became popular in the Americans colonies partially because corn was so easy to grow, but also because most of the wheat was shipped back to Europe. The salt pork you can buy in the grocery store today is not like the old salt pork of the past, which required a great deal of rinsing and soaking before use to try and draw out some of that salt content. Pickled eggs got their color originally came from carmine that was mixed with the pickling solution. Carmine being the crushed shells of a central American bug. Brick dust and various sands were used for cleaning dish, and they could really remove some build up. Eggs were stored in salt, ash, saw dust, barley, and slaked lime.

[@eating-rocks]

Yeah. Apple pie is a traditional desert in most north European countries but for some reason, blueberry pie isn't even if it grows here (ish, it's not the same as american blueberries)

[@Ezullof]

There are also european blueberries (which is why it has many vernacular in Europe) that became popular during the middle ages. It's true it's more popualr as a meal in the US today than anywhere else in the world, but originally the Ardennes are the "heart" of the "blueberries" culture.

The cake mix thing is true, but not for the reasons Adam said. The first mixtures were so easy that they were unpopular with housewives because it felt like they had to put in no effort of their own. By making the recipe more complicated, people felt like the result was a bigger achievement. This is also called the Ikea-effect, because it was proven in a study where people had to compare the value of furniture they built themselves with that of pre-assembled furniture. It turned out people valued things higher when they had to put in effort to get it.

The thing about the eggs was kinda right and kinda wrong. It wasn't some weird freudian thing about wanting to "offer her egg to her husband." It was because the marketer thought that women felt it was too self-indulgent and therefore not fulfilling. In truth the actual problem was there were cake mixes which included dried egg in the mix and those that didn't (those require an egg to be added). The ones with dried egg in the mix were dry, stuck to the pan, did not keep as long, tasted too eggy, and other myriad of issues. The mixes that required an egg to be added did much better because the cake made from it was better. Don't try to not add an egg to your cake mix. It won't come out right.

Joshua Fahrney raptors wouldn’t be as effective as the movies make them appear to be. While they’d be faster, their less thick skin wouldn’t be able to repel bullets of a semi substantial size. Also, fighter jets are equipped with guns as well. Pterodactyls don’t have a body structure and anatomy to be able to take bullets. Birds, like pterodactyls, have weaker bones and less heavy meat and skin in order to fly. I doubt it could survive bullets. And raptors still don’t solve the problem for tanks, tanks use massive balls of steel as ammunition that explodes upon impact, causing shrapnel to explode everywhere. The raptors wouldn’t get out of the way in time.

Good job dropping the numbers from Lost in that fortune cookie 😉

I dislike when people suggest that because something originated outside of these United States that thing isn't American. The truth is most things originated outside the United States. What makes America thrive and prosper isn't forcing things to be American or only accepting what originated here, it's taking things from all over and using those things to strengthen the whole, welcoming change and accepting it as a means of strengthening what we started with. The worst episodes in American history have been when we've tried to resist, change, oppress, or eradicate cultural differences. In this context apple pie is very much American. It's an import we've embraced as a part of our own culture, and we're better for it.

[@bigchezzy8989]

Everyone in Britain loves apple pie. But you damn Americans have claimed it as your own. Well we have the Sunday roast, apple crumble and tea so I think I can deal with it

[@ArchonPook]

@@water2160 Not really. I'm saying that America is a melting pot of different cultures. Even if something originates in these United States it's still heavily influenced by immigrants. The UK, France, China, Korea, Nigeria, The UAE, and every other nation in the world should be proud of their culture. These United States of America should also be proud of those cultures, because those cultures are what helped build ours.

[@ArchonPook]

@@zpardus It kind of is. People say cultural appropriation like it's a bad thing. But embracing other cultures is how we grow and avoid jingoistic or isolationist segregation and oppression. Saying"this is ours and you're wrong to try being a part of it" is just another form of prejudice. That said, don't be a jerk and use other cultures to be an offensive prat.

So.... then the Mexican illegal immigrants that work hard in the fields to grow a majority of the country's food; they're American?

[@ArchonPook]

@@JITCompilation We really should have a better system of welcoming immigrants and ensuring field workers get a decent wage for the work.

Pies are from Northern Europe. Apples??? Well the UK hadn't heard of them before Romans brought them from... wherever they brought them from... (will have to look it up)

[@elaineb7065]

@@corynetherwood4406 My question is where did the trees originally grow??? And good old Wiki has the answer here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple

Adam Conover: the only honest man that wears a suit

[@JoveJoved]

Treat yourself and watch the Crowder video where he rips Adam's "electoral college" video apart in roughly 8 minutes. Science facts are fun, but anything Adam says that he expects you to be upset about has an extremely high chance of being presented out of context or only giving you a fraction of the full picture.

[@jordanmon15]

He has a video about what the show is suppose to be it's used to challenge some of are ways of thinking and start discussion about things we thought were true

Um Actually, Vomitorium is an entrance/exit ramp for the audience; our stadiums still have them today. We just call them entrance/exit ramps. "Vomit" because they can spew forth large crowds.

Cultural appropriation is as American as apple pie

[@lune2206]

So not at all? Cause there's nothing about apple pie native to the us-

[@cowbless]

But the whole cultural appropriation concept doesn't matter one bit, so who cares.

[@Grim_Beard]

@@lune2206 That was the joke.

Podcactus unless its the chinese stealing us intellectual property and using it to undermine USA business wealth. Appropriation is theft and fraud. Impostering
