Studied abroad in Greece in college. I took a cooking class while there too and man it is HARD to get certain ingredients for that in the US. Also, in the US, people make Tzaziki with sour cream not strained yogurt. Traditionally it is made with strained yogurt. Which means you take Greek yogurt and strain it (some people assume just using Greek yogurt is fine, nope it makes it way too watery). But yeah some people make it with sour cream which might be why depending where you get Greek food it might be great or not. Personally I find the sour cream version as okay. I prefer the strained yogurt version and I make it myself at home. Funny awkward story, my husband and I went to a new Greek restaurant in our area that proclaimed TRUE AUTHENTIC Greek food. Buuuut the tzatziki tasted like the sour cream version. So I asked the waitress how they make the tzatziki and she proclaimed quite proudly "the traditional way, with sour cream!" to which my dumb ass immediately said that's not the traditional way, in Greece they use strained yogurt. We both just kind of stared at each other for a moment before I snapped out of it and said "I mean, this is good too so no worries!" and yeah.

Part of Emirichu's lamb issue may be the sniffing every bite thing, like some foods smell poorly but taste amazing.

[@garettbutton6535]

Hey guys, I think I can weigh in here. Lamb has a very gamey flavor, but it also has a very grassy flavor, and while goat cheese can taste different however it's prepared/aged, the most common is Chevre, which also has a very grassy flavor as well as very tart. I can see how someone can say that lamb tastes like goat cheese, not because of the cheese flavor, but the grassy notes you get with both. When it come to pork, in recent years it's more and more common to be able to pick a temperature because the only worry previous was trichinosis which there hasn't been a case attributed to under cooked pork in quite some time, something like 30 years or so in many developed nations.

If a lamb is to old it can have a strong goat flavour similar to strong goat cheese. Maybe emirichu has only been to a few places that served older lamb meat and has developed a bad association with the taste. The best lamb meat I was told is suckling lamb, these are the baby ones that have not matured yet and don't have the sexual hormones giving it the gamey flavour.

Its not called lamb. Lamb is when the sheep is less than 1 year old. While "old lamb" is called mutton, harvested between 2 to 3 years old. I assume suckling lamb was young it haven't eaten grass yet, similar to a suckling pig.

[@SeMDesu]

The thing with lactose intolerance is that, first of all, there is some stuff (ferments or something) you can drink before eating food containing lactose and it will be ok, but the thing is it's different for different people, for example, for me, it's worse with milk, but with cheese, it's like 50/50 (or maybe even 70/30, 70 being I'm ok after eating it).

[@Bob-nc5hz]

"there is some stuff (ferments or something) you can drink before eating food containing lactose and it will be ok" it's literally capsules of lactase, the enzyme which splits lactose into simpler sugars. Lactase is produced in the gut, and lactose intolerance is really just that you stop producing lactase (or as much lactase) -- which is the normal thing, lactose persistents are the mutants. As a result you don't digest and absorb lacstose and all sorts of gut flora can make use of it instead, producing gases and the like. "for me, it's worse with milk, but with cheese, it's like 50/50 (or maybe even 70/30, 70 being I'm ok after eating it)" milk basically contains all of the lactose (around 5% by weight for cow milk), it can only go down from there, but depends on the cheesemaking process and thus type of cheese: hard and aged cheese tend to contain very little because the lactose is dissolved in the liquid, so when the milk solids get coagulated out the lactose stays in the whey, and the aging process then lowers that further as the lactic acid bacteria consume it. Meanwhile fresh and whey cheeses contain extreme amounts of lactose. Processed cheeses tend to contain a fair bit as well.

[@axolotllan]

Allergies: You can grow out of them through minute exposures over a long period of time provided the allergy is based wholly on immune reaction, people with excessive amounts of allergies often have something that has compromised their immune system like a system corruption- lyme disease can make someone allergic to the protein in red meats. For me I am allergic to Alpaca which was the most bizarre thing to realize but not worth trying to address.

As a Greek, I can agree that Greek Restaurants in the US are sometimes hit or miss and are indeed below what you expect as a Greek. They don’t make Gyros the same in the US like they do in Greece. In Greece, they put French fries inside the actual gyro while in the US they don’t. In Greece you can get a gyro for 3€ while one gyro is $9 in the US. The meat, tomato, and other ingredient quality isn’t as good in the US and it’s nearly 3x the price! All the meat in Greece is non gmo as most of it that people eat is from local farmers. I personally like to say there isn’t another restaurant in the world that provides as good quality greek food as this one in my uncles hometown in Kefalonia. My dads friends with the chef there and he makes the best bifteki in existence, it has homemade feta oozing out the inside of it and he has secret seasoning that makes the bifteki taste so good that you start licking the plate.

I won’t say beef alone is hard to mess up but there are parts of beef that take hours of cooking to get it tender enough to eat ground beef is easy because it’s already been broken down but brisket and steak completely different brisket requires hours of cooking at low temperature just to get the fat rendered enough so that way it completely flavors the meat and makes it tender you can’t do that in a instant pot steak depends on what cut of beef you got like if you need to have your steak cooked to well done just to render the fat then that means you’re eating meat from the ass part of the cow where the fat is more concentrated certain parts of cow has to be cooked at different times in order to be good it can’t be the same lamb has very little fat so all you need to do is add seasoning and cook how ever you want

I believe medium rare for pork isnt like how medium rare beef is. Correct me if im wrong but as long as the inside of the pork reach a certain temperature(i think its 145F degree) then its safe to eat even though its still has slight pinkness to it. Of course this still depends on the cuts, quality and freshness of the pork itself.

[@kgoblin5084]

Medium rare is medium rare no matter the kind of meat. Different kinds of meat need to be cooked to different amounts to be safe, in the case of pork for a long time it was strongly recommended to eat it basically well-done, to the point that many people just can't wrap their heads around eating it any other way. However food screening standards have improved where things are starting to get a bit more relaxed, & rare pork is making a slow comeback. It's still considered riskier than beef however. FYI - poultry is a different thing entirely, & you should never eat raw/rare chicken... basically the bird proteins are easier for microbes to penetrate so you should always cook it well-done.

I can actually confirm the lactose intolerance thing.

For now we switched to lactose-free milk and mom has to take lactase pills with anything else since her reaction is very strong and she already has so much trouble when it comes to digesting food.

[@gundalfthelost1624]

I'm in my 30's and have been lactose intolerant since I was a kid. Unfortunately for me it only gets worse when I consume dairy products. As a kid it was mostly discomfort. Cramps and bloating. I still liked cheese and stuff so I kept eating it even after I got diagnosed at age 7. In my teens it got a bit worse because I pretty much lived on grilled cheese sandwiches while playing Wow for days on end and drinking this sour milk drink that's popular in here in Sweden (Filmjölk). Then it turned into severe cramping, diarrhoea and so on. Still ate and drank dairy products pretty often because I'm an idiot. In my mid 20's though it reached the point where even a small amount of cheese or basically anything with dairy in it would put me on the toilet with cold sweats, nausea, horrible cramps and all the other stuff for a solid 5-10 HOURS. At one point, I shared a pizza with a friend while on his birthday and the following aftermath left me hospitalized with severe dehydration because my body just refused to accept any liquid (or food) without it going straight through me and out the other end in literally minutes. So I've become extremely careful now.

I think emily's comparison of lamb with goat's cheese has less to do with it being cheese and more of it having that kind of gamey, almost barnyardy taste goat products can have. Growing up in America, the standard meats are chicken, pork and beef which are all pretty ungamey meats so lamb is kind of unusual to the average american palette. I personally kinda like that gamey flavor in both lamb and goat's cheese but it definitely was a bit of an acquired taste as its just so out of the norm for the basic american diet.

Wow, a food issue I can agree with the boys on. For the medium rare pork issue though, I wouldn't be surprised in Japan where nobody bats an eye having raw egg over rice. It was only a few decades ago where people only trusted well-done steak for safety reasons and to this day, old people still order their steak well done out of habit. It's simply possible that Japan raises their livestock in pristine conditions compared to mass produced livestock raised in other places just so they can enjoy medium rare pork. And yes, drink enough milk and you'll eventually be intolerant to it. You've only got enough lactase in your body to break it down whoever you are.

For hours and hours. I was literally running around, scratching, and screaming. The only thing that helped was a scalding hot shower. The pain of burning was a relief in comparison. The first time it was so bad a whole layer of skin peeled off like I'd had a bad sunburn. But then after a few years it just went away... Stupid allergies.

[@moragodofthunder]

Only certain tonkatsu places in Japan do the "medium rare" pork and it's only for very specific cuts of pork and from specific farms. It's safe. Also the feta you get in Greece and Turkey is totally different than outside of those countries because the dairy comes from a different breed of cow. And can confirm lactose intolerance sucks. You definitely have to say "f*** it" some days. Especially for the gosh darn amazing Japanese desserts with whipped cream.

[@AlexGrom]

Speaking of allergies, I had a very strong pollen allergy back in high school. And then suddenly at first year I graduated from the school it went off. Three years later, I don't feel it at all yetI still carry meds just in case... I guess it is because your body still changes and adapts, but I am not a doctor to speculate about reasons

[@sloth8866]

I had hayfever too. It just disappeared one day, and I finally discovered what it was like breathing on both my nostrils. I felt like I beat cancer in that moment.

[@Ash_Wen-li]

Lactose intolerance isn't too bad for me. It's really just large amounts milk, ice cream and cheeses like fresh mozzarella that affect me. But most aged cheese, greek yoghurt and many desserts don't bother me. Plus if I do eat the above, all I need is a few extra strength Lactaid pills and I'm good

[@Kerubu]

I thought I was becoming lactose intolerant, but it turned out to just be Starbucks coffee.

[@IraFinn]

A lot of people overcook meat cause they don’t know cooking continues even after you take the meat off the heat. It’s called carryover- depending on the thickness of the food, the temp can go up by 10 or 20 degrees! Pork is way cleaner nowadays. Cook it to 140-150F and let it rest until it’s up to 155-160F. Perfect pork every time 👍

[@izzydarkhart4144]

The rare to well-done scale for pork is completely different then beef. Mid rare for pork is around 145-150 and beef is 130-140 some 145 and can be eaten as rare as 120.

[@kostaschaldaios5702]

As a Greek guy I would love to take you out when you come to Greece so that you can enjoy the BEST greek food. Yes, you too Conor

[@christiankim6864]

The fda determined a long ass time ago that medium rare pork is fine. But med rare doesn’t look like beef where it’s bright pink, it’s a very dim or lightly pink. That’s jus how it’ll look based on cooking temp that’s considered “medium rare”

[@mistertadakichi]

My friend’s sister found out she was allergic to onion in her 30s. I can’t even imagine dealing with that, but it’s better than the years beforehand where she didn’t know what it was and instead was stumbling in the dark with what seemed like a mystery illness.

[@dravorle]

Meanwhile in Germany: Raw Pork xD

[@PaulRitzkat]

and its soo good! to be fair, our food standards are a lot stricter as some other places... :D

[@onrev]

Pork has a bad wrap because years ago tricanosis(spelling) was a problem. In most of the developed world we have eradicated this problem In properly butchered pork, including your supermarket cuts not just high end butchers. Also you can pasteurize meats not only at a safe temperature instantly but also lower and slower. Both these things combined allow you to serve pink pork, or chicken and have it be safe. The textural difference is astounding

[@delicate_lace]

If I actually paid attention to my immunology lectures I could have answered the allergy questions.

[@Sacrypheyes]

i'm pretty sure many types of cheese are fine even if one is lactose intolerant, as they often contain far less lactose than, well, milk. many in my family are lactose intolerant and none of them rush to the toilets hours after having a decadent 4-cheese pizza or any kind of gratin with grilled cheese on top; but on the other hand, many of them still avoid having yogourt and milk to this day.

[@DementedAnimalz]

I was born lactose intolerant then it went away as I got older but randomly came back my senior year of high school and has stayed since. There are a lot of ways to eat dairy still with lactase supplements.

[@mogaming163]

It’s hard to find fresh lamb to cook so we usually buy a frozen lamb corpse and prep it ourselves or buy a lamb and kill it and prep it ourselves, this in my opinion is the best way to eat lamb when it isn’t common to find in your country (Canada in this case, im middle eastern).

[@thomaschristopherwhite9043]

Pork cooked pink is what you want. That's where it's the juiciest and the softest. A slow cooked pork belly braised in white wine cooked pink turns to juice in your mouth. There's nothing better.

[@DerBando]

Ahoy We do eat raw pork in germany regularly and I do love it. But there are a lot of regulation and laws for it to make it save. The ground pork can just be sold as bread spread called mett if the pork was butchered the same day sold. Sometimes it's still warm.

[@spreest9537]

I'm allergic to cinnamon and dust. Both are sooo uncomfortable, especially since I love pastries and soft, shaggy carpets. Total skill issue of my body of course, the boys are right.

[@TwilightLink338]

Good quality beef over lamb any day imo. The fat on lamb has this oily gamey taste im not a fan of. But for some reason i will def eat reindeer again. I feel like the gameyness is diff.

[@DaisukeRei]

My stepmother is deathly allergic to alcohol. Her throat swells and she starts suffering from asfixia.

[@lovelysan]

I love Emily, and I love her love of cute things, but.... her not liking lamb.... fills me with sadness ;__; . And I think she said she didn't like takoyaki either. So also ;_; .

[@willvermillion1025]

You’re eating a child and on top of that the cut is always like 60/40 meat to fat so you have to chop off literally half the food like ofc it’s a mediocre meal just eat goat meat…

[@346Yoman]

@@willvermillion1025 so is wagyu, but guess what? It's fucking delicious and goat does not taste anything close to lamb.

[@PuppyMonsters]

I have very few food allergies, milk, soy and strawberries, but I am allergic to like every friggen plant in North America. All trees, grasses, flowers, weeds, anything outdoors basically. I've lived with dogs all of my life and didn't find out a few years ago that I am allergic to them, but I don't care and still have two dogs and just deal with not being able to breath well. Cats however will send me straight to the emergency room. I can't even hug someone that has a cat without breaking out in hives and sleeping at someone's house that has a cat, even though they promised me their cat never went into that particular room, my lungs collapsed and I had to be given a shot of adrenaline. I felt that I could run home faster than the car ride after leaving the hospital.

[@uxiii9537]

Reincarnated to max out my dog petting skill tree only to find out im alergic to dogs - this has to be a light novel

[@Adclif]

Pork has been safe for medium rare since the 90s and the goat cheese flavor she is talking about is the gammyness

[@scotcheggable]

Can you eat pink pork? My dude Gammon

[@misunemagnus]

On that note for is anyone allergic to chicken. My roommate and friend is allergic to chicken and can’t even smell it without feeling ill. If I cook I have to cook with a window open or just Cook non chicken products.

[@autumnlove96able]

I don’t eat lamb because I can’t stand the thought of eating baby animals. I barely eat meat as it is. If someone made me eat lamb or tricked me into eating it I’d probably cry 😢

[@343JustMe]

The thing is I'd usually get super pissed at people with trash taste but it turns out some people's taste buds scientifically taste the same thing differently to other people. So I just always attribute their trash taste to their dysfunctional taste buds

[@chimeragenesis361]

Lamb Sarma Beyti is a dish I wish was more widely known, in general Turkish/ middle eastern lamb are the only lamb dishes I think taste good.

[@theprettypetard2524]

personally i heard that one of the best way to prevent food allergies is to feed babies or young kid (dunno what the age window is exactly) a very wide range of food so that their body can effectively add all the stuff to the list of safe to eat/won't kill you. apparently there is just a period in early life where the body just doesn't know shit about what is dangerous and what isn't so it test everything. so basically with that when the body is faced with something unusual that cause alergy to some it can just go "oh i've seen that thing before long ago and it didn't do anything bad".

[@Aman_Mondal]

So I am an Indian and as a Kid I had allergies to eggs, prawns and few other little stuff and also dust allergy and I didn't have any lactose issues used to drink milk based stuff quite often then at the age of 7 or 8 I kind of quit eating Goat and Beef meat probably cuz my taste buds had developed properly and could judge good and bad taste and my mother used to cook them like shit I would eat them if given outside but I kind of just didn't like the smell at times I also liked Prawn and eggs but couldn't eat them till the age of 12 and 17 eggs (12) and prawns (17) but after I turned 18 it turns out for some random reason I had lactose issues now which is kind of bs cuz I love Cheese and other dairy products these days I just eat them whenever I want if my intestines can't handle them I just poop it out but atleast I got to eat that good chesse

[@systemchris]

When you try new food. As long as it isn't bad tasting, try it again so you can appreciate the flavours after the initial "surprise"

[@Dunkle0steus]

my girlfriend has been allergic to her cat which has lived in her house for the entirety of its life. Her cat is 19 (and dying, RIP) and she sneezes CONSTANTLY whenever he's around.

[@redpandaproductions]

Emily is actually the secret 4th member of trash taste, she just doesn't know it yet 😂

[@magnagazoo4863]

We have not had trichinosis in pork since before WW2, I guess its the same in Japan. BUT people still have this thing that you have to cook it to death stuck in their minds.

[@1TakoyakiStore]

Both lamb and goat do have that strong musty flavor that can also be found in goats cheese. So Emily isn't wrong there.

[@HanGojira]

i dont know about allergies but for lactose intolerance its based on what your ancestors ate, for example im lactose intolerant which makes sense since im east asian and east asians consumed historically less milk than Europeans so genetically we havent built up the tolerance for it.
