[@LordAziki]

I would expect the xylem to be the easiest part of the tree to find recipes for. Just look at how many foods contain cellulose or cellulose gum, which is often made from sawdust. If they don't know or care what they're eating, it's common for people to actually prefer cake made with a batter which is about 1/3 cellulose.

[@thepigvillage1197]

Next year I want to see Theorist actually buy the right kind of Christmas tree and then make this food from it to tell us DEFINITIVELY how much food you can make from your Christmas tree and whether it would be reasonable to eat it all before it expires

[@benwagner5089]

That is my biggest concern. How much actual tree is used to produce the "ingredients" in a tree-course meal? When I google it, I'm seeing that 6% of the log's volume becomes sawdust at a sawmill, so we'd be dealing with 3 pounds of sawdust from a 50-lb tree. That leaves 47 pounds of needles, branches, and trunk to cook up as well.

[@mongoose9851]

Honestly, I think the best way to "eat" a Christmas tree is to grind it up into mulch, mix it with mycelium, and use it to grow edible mushrooms.

[@Finnythefox]

"If you were snowed in, how long could you last on eating your Christmas tree alone?"

[@TheRawrnstuff]

@@benwagner5089 Your math needs some revisiting. Volume measures volume, not mass. Also, the sawdust _is_ branches and trunk. Stopping the blade at 3 lbs sawdust seems real arbitrary. Grind it, dry it, and a 50 lb tree should net you about 20 lbs of sawdust. Maybe that's 6% of the volume, I've no idea.

[@Hecilo]

Good point on the self-made. Buying tree-based ingredients/compounds is intriguing, but I'd also like to see options for an actual tree.

[@samuelezichella4098]

Glad to see this theory wasn't all *Bark* and no bite. A well deserved win for Food Theory. Now we just need a restaurant that would offer this *Tree* course meal for the Christmas season. I wonder what will be the next Christmas special, but I hope it'll be something as over the top as a pine tree. Hope to see these recipes and have a chance to try them: the "Fa-la-la-lafel" sounds really great. (I'm really sorry for the puns. I felt inspired)

The leaves are also good when put into a schnapps. Its actually a common christmas time tradition in my wife's family (who has a long history in distillery)

They made that ice cream look pretty good. I can imagine seeing that as a baskin robbins holiday exclusive flavor. Kinda like pumpkin spice or peppermint.

Having been here from the beginning, this episode makes me unreasonably happy.

This was the catalyst for the countdown

Ah yes, nothing more festive than watching a Food Theory episode dedicated to Matpat eating his christmas tree once again, a few days before christmas.

After the sawdust cookies, I'm sure Steph kept a closer watch over the food she accepted from Matt...

"Hey, all this christmas food is good! All you need is a christmas tree in your house to make it more festive, y'know?" "Yeah, yeah..." "Speaking of, why do you not have a christmas tree?" "...We do have one. its in your hand." "What? I'm holding a cooki-.."

''Hello, my name is Matthew Patrick, and I'm addicted to eating my Christmas tree.'' ''NO! MATTHEW NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!'' best thing I've heard all year

can confirm that the pinecone jam/jelly is a common staple in eastern european households; I recognized that jar as soon as I laid eyes upon it. I've never dared to try it, but my mom's a fan. Last place I ever expected to see it featured was here, but I'm strangely honored!

I honestly could just watch Matt and Steph just being themselves they are absolutely adorable together and I love the fact that they have been together so long that little things like sharing the same spoon or even doing crazy stuff together just seems normal to them ❤❤❤

Little detail: just because something is edible doesn't mean that is nutritious. So don't eat christmas trees on moments of hunger. You will starve anyway

[@lordwillibur438]

I really hope they do a Christmas tree episode every Christmas from now on😊
