Food Lab Wants us to Eat Shit for Brains to save the planet!

Insects, blood and faeces may not sound particularly appetitising, but they are among the produce we should consider eating if we want our food to be sustainable and healthy, according to a team of chefs and scientists in Denmark.

The Nordic Food Lab was set up on a boat in the Danish capital of Copenhagen in 2008 by Michelin-starred Noma head chef René Redzepi and culinary entrepreneur Claus Mayer to better understand the flavours and the gastronomic potential of Scandinavia.

But in almost a decade – and now based at a laboratory at the University of Copenhagen – its researchers are travelling the world to piece together a holistic approach to eating. Scientists, artists chefs, designers and specialists in education are all rolling their sleeves up and getting stuck in to the cause.

“We try to work with every type of produce. Insects, blood, jelly fish, fermented products that sometimes smell and develop mould, and the products look rotten,” explains Roberto Flore, Head of Culinary Research and Development at the lab. “It's about giving people more confidence with different produce and reconnecting with process of producing food."

[highlight=#ffff00]“One of the main problems with sustainability is we are completely disconnected to food," he argues. [/highlight]"We don't know how it is produced or to how handle certain products. That is a huge problem, and we risk losing knowledge collected over thousands of years in the next few decades. It's important for us to document this knowledge and make it available to the world.”

Currently, researchers are working on how to make edible insects – from ants to larvae – more appetising to the uninitiated.

Other experiments have explored how animal blood, and its coagulating properties, could be used as an egg substitute as intolerance to the kitchen staple is one of the most common among child in Europe. (The result of that test were not entirely disgusting-looking blood pancakes and meringues, and an arguably more appealing black forest gateaux.)

[highlight=#ffff00]Its members never shy of controversy, one recently argued in a Munchies article that faeces should be explored as a source of food. [/highlight]After all, young elephants, hippos, koalas, rabbits and pandas eat their mother's faeces to introduce useful microbes into their digestive systems. And evidence shows that a diverse microbiome in the gut is vital for our health.
While the prospect may sound appalling, similar techniques are already being harnessed. [highlight=#ffff00]Caterpillar faeces is fermented and used to flavour rice in Japan, says Flore, and kopi lowak, which is digested by the civet, is the most expensive coffee in the world.[/highlight]

“At the moment, gastronomy that is high-quality and sustainable is only available for people who are in the position to buy luxury produce. We want good food available for everyone. That is our main goal.”

Aren't these researchers wonderful, Comrades?

Comrades,

We should delight with this 4,777th way to save the world! While we are spending all our money on these invaluable delicacies, a huge comet from the other side of the galaxy obliterates earth and does not even slow down.
Poof, all gone!

(This is a collection of thoughts, written down as I perused the article. Not in sequential order, I went up and down the article looking for things to expound upon.)

High-quality and sustainable food has been around for centuries, even millennia. If it wasn't we wouldn't be here.

If you want to learn how to handle produce and meat, go to culinary school or watch Alton Brown's Good Eats. Don't listen to a bunch of Danish river rats that think that eating scheisse (They ARE European, after all) is an acceptable thing to do just because animals do it. Guess what Mr. Danish Went-along-wth-the-nazis? We aren't animals! And I noticed that monkeys aren't on their little list of animals with scheisse-eating grins. Monkeys are the smartest of all animals, they're considered by scientists to be in the stone age. I think they have it figured out that scheisse=bad.

If you want your food to be healthy, lay off the TV dinners and mcdonalds and start cooking for yourself.

Trust me, you'll lay off the fried foods when you see how much of a pain in the ass it is to set up a fryer (or cast iron dutch oven or skillet, as is the Stierlitz way), get the oil heated, monitor the temperature to prevent smoke or fire, let the oil cool down, and then carefully pour the oil in and filter it. And the cooking oil prices! Those might just convince you to never have fried food again!

I think that these schmucks would be against normal ways of "connecting with food, like growing some lettuce or cabbage or shooting a deer. These kinds of people don't want self-sufficiency, they want dependency, either on the government or on the dollar.

"Diverse microbiome" my ass! This is like the Euro-refugee form of diversity, you let a bunch of horrible, terrible bacteria in but you define them as good bacteria and turn your nose up while you go into septic shock or just plain start puking out the scheisse! And the only reason you advocate it is because other countries (in this case, creatures) are doing it. If you wouldn't want it on your shoe, I don't think you'd want it in your stomach.

"More open to other people's cultures" Yep, that's what these sick, twisted freaks want: multiculturalism. Instead of having many unique, proud, fierce, civilized cultures with traditions, these leftists and globalists just want a single, grey, docile, self-hating borg culture with no sense of tradition or direction.

If you think that blood pancakes don't look "not entirely disgusting-looking", look up this phrase: "period blood pancakes". Get the kids out of the room. You'll be so sick and disgusted you might feel like you need to take a shower.

Geez, it used to be that only vampires ate blood and were to be feared and you had to stick a cross in their chest to kill them. Now, people love to dress up and pretend to be vampires and these idiots are trying to find ways to eating blood. Heck, some people think they ARE vampires. I may or may not want to jam a cross in their chests. I'd say it all started with The Count: "One! One pint of blood, AH AH AH! Two! Two pints of blood, AH AH AH!" I think only savage and otherwise inferior cultures and religions, the dross of the world, ate blood, NOT DECENT, UPSTANDING, FIRST-WORLD TECHNOLOGICAL MARVELS OF CIVILIZATION!

I think this Michelin-star chef "Rene" should have his stars taken away. I think it's a good rule of thumb that if you start cooking insects, you don't deserve any Michelin stars.

When I think of mold, jelly fish, and rotten food, I don't think "MMM! That's a tasty, wholesome meal!" I think that I'm gonna throw up.

I think that if your cooking methods involve liquid nitrogen, they're neither sustainable nor accessible.

The last quote in the article tells all you need to know. AHEM, Mr. Danish Went-along-wth-the-nazis, I'm an AMERICAN citizen, born and bred, NOT A WORLD CITIZEN! I'll have my burgers and chocolate milk, and you can have your caterpillar salad with a sauteed scheisse garnish and blood-brain smoothie. And just because we have international trade doesn't mean we're international citizens. International trade has been going on for centuries, look at the Silk Road and spice trade routes, but Genghis Khan didn't think that the people he slaughtered were the same as him nor did the British think that the savages of the US, Africa, Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore, the Middle East, and India were the same as them.

I'm glad a giant, rolling ocean separates America and Europe, their little riverboat wouldn't last the trip over.

Hmmm -- Blood, brainz, bugz and even faeces --

This is starting to sound like Spirit Cooking!

Are any of these forward-looking chefs offering all of this in...

PIZZA?

Yep, you can get it extra-cheesy too!

Isn't it interesting what politics will do to you? I don't think I'll be able to eat another pizza ever again without thinking of kiddie-fiddlers. Oh well, most pizza's greasy anyhow. And the places I go to offer hoagies on the menu, and hoagies taste better anyhow.

love that interdisciplinary fervor... in truth, only that way can Human Knowledge progress!

That's catastrophic.
When finally anybody can afford to eat shit, rot & Co, how is the more equal status of our top apparatchiks - here, in matters of Haute cuisine - to be maintained? and manifested?

There is a 97% consensus among Schmeißfliegen (Calliphoridae) that Scheiße=gut! And in a world of Diversity, we have to affirmatively embrace any opinion!

Wow, Comrades! I had misgivings about posting such a scatalogical title, so much so that I resisted observing the responses you have provided. I thought of replacing it with:
Food Lab Wants us to Eat Feces for/or Brains to save the planet.

But thanks to you, I didn't have to do this. As usual, you never cease to amaze me. You always do. Always. XXX!

Genosse, You have supplied us with a clear picture of what a midden is. Thanks! I love learning new words.
