Food

Hello again!

So we, the food and cooking community mods, have been discussing merging a few of the communities together. We're pretty fractured at the moment and we don't really have the userbase to support so many niche communities so we're looking at merging some. We previously pinned a post asking users to cross-post to relevant communities and some of the feedback we received is some don't like this as it can clutter their feeds. Also there were many suggestions of merging until we get more growth and can support more nice communities.

So the plan would be to merge !askculinary, !bbq, !cooking, !food, and !recipes. This would combine a lot of the more general food communities into one and hopefully we reduce cross posting as well as grow users and content. Later, if we have a larger userbase that can support more niche communities, we can spin them off again. So, before moving forward with the merge, we wanted to make sure you all are aware of the plans as well as get some feedback on this decision. So please let us know what you think. We look forward to hearing your thoughts! Thanks!

EDIT: To explain how this would work, we have a couple options:

1. Lock all the niche communities and leave a pinned post pointing to the main Food community. Later we may reopen them once the userbase grows to support them.

2. Leave all communities open and cross post from the niche communities to the main one. So when you post a recipe to !recpies@lemmy.world, it would get crossposted to !food@lemmy.world. !food@emmy.world would be a catch all if you wanted the "fire hose" approach. Or you can sub to the niche communities you want.

Still experimenting with multiple images here.. anyway..

After having some delicious pinwheels at some social event, my girlfriend and I have been on a kick making these.

Ingredients are, in order:

• Wrap
• Sauce mix of truffle mayo, grain mustard, and for me - some hot sauce
• Lettuce
• Turkey slices, and ham slices
• White cheddar
• ROLL!

We're still working on ways to make this process easier. She tends to just cut hers in half and eat it as a wrap. The pre-chopped lettuce probably makes this harder to roll instead of using large leafs.

This one fell apart as I was rotating the wheels sideways for photos (hence the attempt!). I ate the evidence before the shot.

I have a theory that there is a impossible trinity (like in economics), where a food cannot be delicious, cheap and healthy at the same time. At maximum 2 of the 3 can be achieved.

Is there any food that breaks this theory?

Edit: I was thinking more about dishes (or something you put in your mouth) than the raw substances

Some popular suggestions include

• fruits (in season)
• lentils, beans
• rice
• mushrooms
