What's your secret ingredient that makes your version of a common dish better than anyone else's? (lemmy.world)

Mine probably isn't that secret these days, but almost every sauce I add nutritional yeast to. Curry, chilli, bolognese, it just makes them all better.

Admittedly, yeah. Technically in the USโ€™s stupid system that should be โ€œa half pinch.โ€

A pinch being 1/16 teaspoon.

Are all those recipes that call for a "pinch of this" or a "dash of that" suddenly making more sense to you?

[โ€“] MaggiWuerze@feddit.de 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I just thought it meant "a bit", and it basically does because noone can really measure a 16th of a teaspoon
