I'm clicking on the notification and saying "Mmhmm" before the video page even loads up lol. You got a stone cold brand Dawi! Plus I'm learning stuff I've NEVER heard before in this video. Plus them knife skills. This channel deserves more views than it gets.

First time I've ever seen anyone take the time to explain how to cut a cucumber with your fingers curled under. I think most of us know to keep our fingers curled under, but here we see how the knuckles are a guide and that is like mind-blowing for me because I have never seen it demonstrated or told. Thank you so much

nfn i thought that cucumber thing was hogwash when i saw it on twitter, glad you went the distance to figure out 'the why' and not leave it as a thing people say.

I've been canning pickles and they're wonderful but, the last batch was so bitter I tossed it. This helps and it'll be incorporated with each new batch. Great video thank you.

Thanks for this. I never knew this and I love cucumbers. Why vinegar in the chow?
@eatahfood Жыл бұрын
Adding an acid in chows helps to preserve the ingredients. It's a form of pickling. I use vinegar sometimes because it has a neutral taste as compared to lime or lemons

Maybe you can't taste the bitterness because you cut it away, it's suppose to be more bitter at the end & less in the rest.
