Yeah really I think it’s not good that this cuisine that’s so meat/diary focused is elevated to this status of being sort of revered. Like conceptually I think French food is all about taking these base flavors that were available in the west and figuring out how to dial them up to a 10, and you can still keep that spirit, but the sort of reverence for how is it has to be done “right” keeps people from experimenting.

And yeah people also just suck. I did a French night at my house with my roommates and decided to do ratatouille in the style of the movie and I had one friend just fucking hate it and shit on it. And then he said he hated French food and I told him I could’ve easily just done meat in a wine sauce and you’d love it but you’re not even giving this a fair chance. Like try not to be pissy because we didn’t have some stereotypical meat centerpiece

Out of like classic western foods it’s pretty good, lots of focus on fresh bread, wine, and cream. Personally I think it’s pretty overrated but I think a lot of westerners with underdeveloped palates are happy to land on the sort of rich and creamy bases that a lot of French food has. I do think that it really has created a concept of high-class dining that seems to preclude the use of animal product (I love cooking and it wasn’t until I start cooking more Indian and Asian food that I realized that a lot of my ideas of incorporating meat and animal product into my diet was simply due to this).

Last time I helped a friend move he was unconscious on his floor from a seizure, and definitely nothing had been packed lol. I was so unsettled (and made it clear to him he should’ve informed me about his health issues), and had him chill out while I called more friends and gave them the real lowdown so we could actually band together and help him out.

But yeah, they’re never ready lol.

It has its uses, but shouldn’t be used regularly. I guess if you wanna slowly acidify your soil that is one way to do it lol. Hydrolyzed is safer but like twice the cost, which is a factor for many Edit: ah sorry maybe my ADHD kicked in, realized this is a vegan space. My bad

Supposed to start feeding when it warms up. You can start feeding them with liquid nutrients asap and get some growth before summer ends. I would use something synthetic if you want quickest results, nonorganic liquid is also beneficial here bc you can be sure that it’ll get in fast and get used up quickly so you can stop feeding towards the tail end of summer where I think you want to let it hunker down.

5-5-5 or 10-10-10 fert may be fine. You may have better luck with something geared towards tomatoes at this point, since you’re looking to grow fruiting bodies? If you want to stay organic I’d stay away from fish emulsion tho, too much nitrogen, unless you mix it with other organic solubles
