The talk of finger injuries reminded me of a Rick Stein program from years ago when he was slicing garlic with a mandoline. Just as he mentioned how careful you have to be there was an 'aaahhh beeep'. Cut to Rick with a blue plaster on one finger saying 'I am chopping the garlic. If you hear a noise in the background it is the sound of a mandoline being thrown in the skip'

By reconstituted you mean stuff like this, mostly industrial in there. It's too bad how stuff like this has become more prevalent even acceptable in top cooking competition shows. That was one of my reasons for going a little sour on David Chang's show he did an episode with lots of apologism for highly processed food additives. Alton Brown even raved up surimi Rangoon pizza (please pass the pineapple one to me).
I don't mean to comment on what works for anyone else.

I watched the series and grew increasingly annoyed with David Chang. He reminded me of a 6th grade class clown who never grew up.
Remember that A. Bourdain repeatedly and pointedly skewered Sandra Lee / "Semi Homemade" cooking and took quite a bit of return fire from her domestic partner Andrew Cuomo, the governor of New York state (where Bourdain lived).

I missed her but 30sec. of any of her youtubes says it all. I went to a listening session at the home of a guy with an incredible LP collection and his wife made her "special" mousse recipe for us, Cool-whip and instant chocolate pudding.
It's a concentrate, not a powder. Something like this I assume but on an industrial scale.

Same old crap, natural flavor is one the food industry got in it's a catchall for any highly processed flavor element derived originally from any "natural" source, yeast extract = MSG, unusual to see unspecified "sugar".
PC and mutton

In the 1970's CBC Radio personality Peter Gzowski had a late night television show for a very brief period (he was notoriously "radio-handsome"). On a New Year's Eve show he was joined by well known Canadian author and broadcaster Pierre Berton, who was very excited about his new food processor. They were drinking eggnog liberally spiked with rum on live television and obviously getting a bit snockered when Pierre started to demo his new Cuisinart and promptly severed the tip of his finger. Again, live TV, now with much blood and cursing. That may have been Gzowski's last episode on TV.
Best part of that show was John Candy's remotes.
Perhaps, I don't know. That was something I cherry picked from Google. I could find out for you. We do have 3 restaurants serving Phở in the family. Two are Phở houses.
Please no offense intended, just musing about the general erosion of standards in the food industry overall.
I've tried numerous boxed broths and concentrates they are far from scratch made in general. In fact the most expensive demiglace packaged for the trade might have as well have been Vegemite. I realize people have to make a living and support their families in many cases, life is full of compromise.
Oh Bill, do you really have to post negative comments about everything....or is it just everything that I post ???.
Less than 10 minutes spent perusing the link I posted before responding in such negative way indicates strongly that you have not digested nor comprehended any of the far reaching ramifications of what this truth platform is designed to deliver.
The honey project featured is the first industry pilot project that is set to prove and cement the way of the future by digitally guaranteeing provenance, quality, ownership, liability and dispute resolution of goods and services, a concept that until now has been essentially unavailable to the consumer the likes of you and me.
If you are interested to know more, much more or know of another industry that wishes to trade with China into the future just let me know.
Dan.
Certainly none taken. I hadn't bothered to look at the ingredients of the concentrate so I fully understand your 'crap' comment. Looks like that concentrate might as well be powder. I am guessing if they used that they would be inclined to use what we call 'the bag 'o' pho' also.

Can't disagree there.
Indeed. Mind you, I'm not sure if I were to dehydrate my stock and reconstitute it that it would be in the same light as fresh. Any experience?
