Food Thread: The Labor Theory Of Value And Fast Food
Bennigan's CEO Paul Mangiamele said in a recent interview that McDonald's kiosks -- as well as self-service technologies at other chains like Panera and TGI Fridays -- are a direct response to rising labor costs and calls for a higher minimum wage.No! Say it ain't so! The McDonald's spokeswoman responded with a marvelous piece of non-denial denial, and clearly didn't shoot down any such fear that the company will try to...you know...make money for its stockholders and try not to price itself out of business by overpaying for labor.
I eat fast food rarely, and when I do I am extremely price sensitive, or in Econ-speak, my price sensitivity is extremely elastic, as, I am confident, are most of yours.
Entry level jobs are, by definition, for people who are just entering the work force and who have no marketable skills. My first real job was shoveling dirt. Lots of it. If my employer's cost to hire me approached the cost of renting a small backhoe, What would he have done?
Chicken Fingers. Yup..I love 'em. And don't lie....so do you. And if Ace tried mine he would happily give up his GAINNZZ for the week. But they do require frying. I don't really deep-fry them; I flip them halfway through cooking, but really, it's a quantitative, not qualitative difference. And in fact some frying techniques call for intermittent frying, so it's pretty much just frying. So when I saw this recipe I had to chuckle, because there are 83,000 recipes on the web for ersatz fried food that the cook fakes by baking. And they all suck. But this one comes from somebody who really does like to eat, so I will give it a shot. Oh, I made a sort of dipping sauce for my last batch of fried chicken fingers that I modeled after a sauce I had in San Francisco at a spectacular neighborhood restaurant called Out The Door. It's complicated, but I think it's worth the effort. Butter + Sriracha Sauce + Microwave until melted. Whisk. Dip. Enjoy.
Everyone cooks tomato sauce to death. Stop.
- 28 ounce can of good quality crushed tomatoes
- Basil
- Thyme
- Oregano
- Pepper
- Olive Oil
- Sugar
Add a small pinch of the herbs, and salt and pepper to taste. If the tomatoes are not very slightly sweet, add a small pinch of sugar. Add one ounce of olive oil and stir. Use in place of those silly cooked sauces that take way too much time. Recipe can be doubled or tripled or quadrupled or quintupled or..... Tips to cbd dot aoshq at gee mail dot com

I made a recipe somebody gave in last week's thread for a creamy beet sauce over pappardelle (I used mafaldine). It had a nice earthy taste and made a wild pink color when pulsed.
Also, I'm not a wild gadget girl but the mini Cuisinart that SMFH recommended ages ago has made my life much easier It's fantastic for whipping up pestos and such. Plus, it has *two* buttons. I hate overthought devices and "feature creatures".

As for the kitchen gadgets, my favorite is a set of digital scales. I weigh everything. When a recipe calls for a cup of something, I always weigh that cup the first time and add that to the recipe. It is much easier and results in less mess and dirty dished to wash.

This is exactly the way the county next to mine decided whether to give credit for an algebra course to a homeschooled boy I know. It was an online course, and evidently you work at your own pace, and the program keeps track of the number of hours you put into it. They gave this boy credit for algebra 1, whereas another boy who did the same program but got much farther along in less time, did not get the credit.
OT, I know, but at least related to what was in the post!

When I want uniform pieces and I am cutting a lot, I use the onion chopper. For instance, when I make braised lamb shanks or short ribs I use it, because it's a lot of chopping and I often don't decide whether to blend the sauce or leave it rustic until the last minute, and if I leave it rustic the pieces have to be uniform or the obsessive-compulsive police will come and arrest me.
But your three are pretty much the trinity for most serious home cooks.

Srsly, a pothole filled with teaspoons of asphalt is more valuable than one filled by a skiploader?
Also, how does the buyer know how much labor went into something? All he sees is the final product.
The very notion of the labor theory of value is risible and sophomoric. It speaks volumes about Marxists that they didn't burst out laughing when they read it.

There are different models, but this is the one I have:

You put water in the little steamer bowl, crack an egg into the tray, slap some Canadian bacon on the grid above it, and put on the lid. Stick an English muffin in the slots, kick it off, go take a quick shower, and come back to a toasty egg muffin, some assembly required.
That one also steams hard-boiled eggs, but I've never done it because I don't really like them.

Well, if yer gonna add some stewing meat for a Sunday dinner gravy, you'll need a few hours.
For just plain gravy pasta, i dig the on-the-hob italian style. When your pasta is nearly done, get a saute pan up to medium, add termater paste, garlic, oil.
Add some fresh sliced roma termaters.
Stir until fragrant , then grab a single serving of the cooking pasta dripping wet and add to skillet. Stir until thickened, then add shredded basil and SnP. Serve immediately.

Before I continue, I want to say this about the "Crap Tree" on the sidebar. Wife is wrong. Yes, I understand where she's coming from, but she's wrong. Hubby better make it clear that it's in her best interest to see to it that no more of his favorite decorations disappear.
I make my own chicken wings and nuggets. They're connected because I use the same fat for both. I melt 3 1-lb boxes of lard to deep fry chicken wings, separated into drumettes and flats, dusted lightly with corn starch and deep-fried at 360F (starting temp, it drops when you add the chicken) for 12-15 minutes. I can usually fit about 14 pieces at a time with this amount of fat. Fried pieces can be kept warm in the oven at 200F for 2 hours. Serve with ready made buffalo sauce - I use Wegmans. This is a great recipe for Super Bowl parties. The corn starch crisps the wings nicely without breading. Relatively paleo-friendly.
I then strain the fat, cool and store for reuse. The chicken fat on the wings renders into the pork fat and makes a delicious combo.
This is the fat I use to fry my chicken nuggets. Cut boneless breasts into whatever sizes please you. Dust with corn starch, dip into egg beaten with a little water, then dip into a combo of plain and panko bread crumbs. Sometimes I sprinkle the raw chicken pieces with cayenne or other pepper first, but since I'm addicted to buffalo sauce for dipping, it's kind of pointless.

Yes, a store needs 50 or so people on its payroll, and some of these places operate at 50% of that, or less.
Why?

Eric, I just counted, and I have 9 (gulp) cutting boards of various sizes, 4 of which are wood. I just hand wash them with the hottest water I can, and lots of dish soap. Same with the plastic ones.
I remember reading an article a while back, where they actually tested wood vs. plastic cutting boards, and surprisingly the wooden ones turned out to be less of a problem as far as contamination goes.
Posted by: bluebell at December 04, 2016 04:41 PM (Zokmo)
Posted by: All Hail Eris,
Vinegar solution or even a light bleach solution won't harm the wood.
When you get a new board, wash it with hot soapy water, let dry thoroughly (I stick ours in an *off* gas oven overnight) then oil it up with mineral oil.
Re-apply the oil every week or two and the board should maintain a good surface.
If it starts to get real rough or shredded, you'll need to do the sanding 3-step; 120 grit, 200 grit, then a 400 grit. Wipe clean, and oil thoroughly.

As for cutting boards I had read somewhere long ago that they were actually better for germ free than plastic and that was because of the tanic acid in the wood. The article also said to always wash them in cold water with no soap to retain that benefit.
And finally yes, you need a good set of knives but I don't know that I would call them a "gadget".

Wustof or Henkels? Try to find the ones made in Deutshland not the chinese versions.
Also, hit up some estate sales. Sometimes you can find bad-ass old knives.
Posted by: weft cut-loop at December 04, 2016 04:49 PM (1G5R8)
I also love my Breville food processor. However, I do find myself doing more prep by hand since I bought the ATK-recommended Victorinox chef's and Wustof paring knives, which are sharpened at the Asian angle (15 degrees, I think?) They're not terribly expensive and they just sail through whatever needs cutting.
I also bought the knife sharpener they recommended. Kind of pricy, but I used it to re-do the angle on all the kitchen knives at Granny's ranch, which formerly was home to the World's Dullest Knives. This is where we all gather to cook and eat for certain holidays, so my popularity went up.

No joke, go to a decent Oriental market if there's one in your area and go nuts. Aside from the Sabatier santoku, my two go-to prep knives are a sort of generic chef's knife and a big f-off Chinese-style cleaver, both from the Honolulu Chinatown over 10 years ago for less than $30 each. Both carbon steel, both hone well and keep an edge.

My favorite knives are the ceramic ones. Sharpest knives around.
I bought one just to try it out.
No doubt they're sharp -- I sliced my hand open cleaning one. My fault as I was careless. But that's when I knew my new ceramic knife hated me.
Then, one day when I was stirring my peanut butter (what a pain in the ass), I snapped the knife-blade in half.
So that's the major disadvantage of ceramic knives versus steel knives: They can break...because they're ceramic and shit.
Never again will I own ceramic cutlery.

Think of a local burger joint that sells great burgers, home style fires, etc. Likely, it costs a bit more to eat there than McDonald's. But, you may be willing to pay that extra little bit because of how much better the food is.
McDonald's can afford to design, patent, and mass produce their kiosks. They can have crews roll through the country installing them everywhere. They will have a vendor develop the software that runs on them and to troubleshoot when problems develop.
The local guy is going to be even harder pressed than before when it comes to competing with McDonald's. Sure, he can still keep putting out the same great burger. But, his labor costs relative to McDonald's are going to be even more of a factor. And the extra amount you will have to pay to eat at his joint compared to McDonald's is going to higher.
The increasing minimum wage movement helps the big corporations like McDonald's.

Many Americans and Britishers who visit the country never quite adjust to this, and the idea persists that the natives speak the language just to show off or be difficult."

Go into most any commercial kitchen, and you'll see 'em using Forshner knives, almost exclusively.
Economical, sharpen-able, but yet holds that sharp edge a good long while. Nearly endless variety of shapes and sizes.
Available with ugly, but grippable white or black molded nylon handles.
Most all of the Heinkels and Wurstoff knives are overpriced, designer-centric kitchen counter jewelry. Certainly, they do the job and do it well, and look good in the process.
But why pay 3x or more per blade?
A better investment is in good sharpening systems, and gaining the knowledge and skill to use 'em quickly, accurately and safely.
Discussing those of course, would be a good Sunday thread of it's own, I think?

I've picked up decent knives at a local restaurant supply store. The all purpose knife I have works great and it cost me $30. I can't get real spendy with the knives but I don't want to slice a finger off because of cheap dull ones...

That sounds a lot better than one my kid made in school, a Pringles lid covered with glitter.
Yes, I still hang it, and all the other ones he made, and even a couple I've had since my childhood. The best one (and I know it all depends on the teacher's skills) is a whip-sitiched felt star with his photo in the middle. Whip-stitching for the crafty win!
That's the only way for me. I think Christmas is way overdone and kind of a PITA, but I do enjoy putting out the decorations that have some memories attached to them.

I swear - I used to have a chopping block very similar, only it was used for 70 years in a local butcher shop, so the four sides were worn down beautifully.
I paid for a storage unit to hold only that chopping block for over a year for an old girlfriend.
Then, her cousin got married, and we gave her Gramma & Grampa's block...

The Aviation
2 oz gin
1/2 oz fresh lemon juice
1/4 oz Luxardo Maraschino liqueur
1/4 oz Creme de Violette
Shake with ice. Strain into cocktail glass. Garnish with maraschino cherry (Luxardo if you can get them)
It's a great tasting, great looking cocktail. and it's really too bad it's not more popular and served more often than it is.
I suppose the rather high hurdle of buying the Luxardo Maraschino liqueur and the Creme de Violette just to be able to make the Aviation accounts for that,
The Creme de Violette's the real sticking point. I only think of two other cocktails which use it: The Blue Sky and the Moonlight (delish!)
CdV isn't too expensive but yeah, one bottle of the stuff will probably carry you to your grave.
If you're ever in a really great bar, which specializes in classic cocktails give it a whirl-
or buy the fixings and make it yourself!

True story. i once decided that i would create the ultimate 'manly cooking show'. Everything was chopped with a razor sharp cleaver. 'cooking with a cleaver' or some title. So i started practicing. Everything, veggies, meats, cheese, butter...f*cking everything was chopped with a cleaver. I thought I'd go viral.
It came to an abrupt halt one day. i consider myself lucky.
Pro Tip. keep your other hand behind your back when chopping. Trust me.

This is my mom, she cooked for me for my entire childhood, learned to cook at the apron strings of the legendary Grammy... how do I tell her that most of her knives are a dull puddle of piss?

I like Rothman and Winter Creme de Violette. Looks good and tastes good in a drink.
Hey, I'm glad you tried the beet pasta dish. The color really brings the excitement any plate it's on.
The beautiful and tasteful Mrs naturalfake decided she would try adding just a pinch or two of oregano next time she makes it. She thinks that funky edge that oregano brings would kick up the flavor a notch.

The tip of the thumb stayed on thankfully, through the nail ,probably could use stitches but didn't want to explain, so wrapped it tight, taped it and the show idea went in the can.
But now that I've thought of it again, don't they have those chain mail cut proof gloves?

If you're using a cake mix, probably not. If you're making it from scratch, probably so. You don't need a big stand mixer, but I would get a hand mixer if I were you. Especially if you do things like meringue or whipping cream - it will save your arm from whisking like a madwoman.

I do. I mix by hand good and hard for maybe 4 minutes. I only have a hand-mixer but the dumb thing only has one speed - - - high (even though it says it has low-med-high). Needless to say when I do use it, it sprays whatever I am mixing all over the counter, walls, etc.

This is my go-to saute pan from T-fal. The coating is robust, and it is oven safe, which is important for me. Plus the handle is comfortable.
On the downside, it is slightly convex, which is a style I do not like.
But all in all it is the best reasonably priced pan I have found.

I'm thinking if I'm too retarded to handle a microplane I should go back to using the food processor for grating. I prefer the food processor to a mandolin for the same reason.

I was hit on my feet (they were bare) and my calves. I hopped around in agony for a few minutes and then found out the hard way that the old wives tale of putting butter on a burn doesn't work at all. God, that hurt....
And yeah, I've barked my knuckles grating cheese too...
All sorts of hazards in the kitchen...

Ceramic.
Sure, you can't use a fork in it, but same for Teflon.
Had mine for a couple years and even though it was cheap, it's still near perfect, and the fastest-cleaning pan I've ever had.
It's one of those white ceramic coatings. I know someone who says they won't last that long, but basically she treats all her pans like cast iron, so nothing else is going to last more than a few months of forks and brillo pads.
Use silicone implements and wash it like glass instead of iron.

My BIL was down here a couple of weeks ago for a family event, and he stayed with us. At 8:00 in the morning he knocked on my son's door and asked him to take him to Chick-Fil-A after he worked out, since they don't have one where he lives. He had been to one once and couldn't wait to get back.

I've made a radicchio and fingertip topping for a salad with a mandoline slicer before. It was not delicious and my blood just would not stay in, which is why I now always use the guard.
My GF in high school (who actually worked in a Chinese restaurant) fried some egg rolls or crab rangoon at home and then poured the 'cooled' oil into a plastic container to stick in the refrigerator. That netted her about two weeks in a wheelchair and some Vicodin.

precision cooker, which I ordered last Sunday on the rec from a 'ron

that you need a pot at least 6 inches tall to clamp the thing onto. I
used to have one, but then I got 2 Dutch ovens which are wide but not
that deep. I've found them perfectly adequate for cooking pasta and
stocks, but apparently they won't work for this. So now I have to go
out and get a damn stockpot. I suppose I'll go to Aldis or even
Goodwill to see if I can pick up one on the cheap...

Favorite cooking utensil? My Smart Pot. When I was a kid, my folks scraped dinner off the ceiling a couple of times, so I refused to even think about a pressure cooker. But I read about the Smart Pot and bought one. I've been real happy with it. Meat doesn't dry out and turn tough in it. Pot roast done in it is just wonderful. And Himself uses it to can a couple pints of this and that when he doesn't have enough to justify dragging out the whole canning paraphernalia.

What is the internal temperature? If it is anywhere near 125 degrees, take it off and let it rest while you preheat your oven to 550 degrees.
Then just brown the roast in the oven.

The roast is currently a ruddy mahogany color.
I let it get a touch higher than 125 because last time I cooked prime rib to 125, my family was afraid to eat it. Phooey on them; it was the best prime rib I had ever had. It just looked scary because the low and slow cooking method leaves the interior of the roast evenly pink instead of a pink island in a sea of grey.

Pouring concrete over it won't kill bamboo. You have to dig out all the roots. If you miss even one, you have to start over.
But it does make nice cutting boards.

it sounds like you nailed it. Just be aware of carryover. That 125+ degrees will become 135 degrees. So when you brown it, do it quickly, and don't keep the roast on the fire for even a few seconds longer than necessary to give it a nice color and crust.
What should I bring? I have a nice Zinfandel that should go well ....

Second place, other than the usual stuff like tongs and timers, is a rice washer, a plastic tub with nubs on the bottom and slits cut in the pouring spout. It costs just a few bucks, and is intended for washing the outer starch coat off of rice, but it is perfect for really cleaning veggies. When I use it to clean cilantro by immersion and sloshing, or radishes by letting them rub along the plastic nubs in the water, I'm amazed at how much dirt I used to eat.
Finally -- a pepper grinder. Went through a lot of them before I found one I really liked. This one is Greek; it's called Atlas, and it produces a good volume of pepper and is very friendly to the hand.
One more note: if you've never been able to get a mortar and pestle that you can actually use to grind things, rather than sort of oppress them a little, including the words "Thai" and "Granite" in your mortar search will work wonders. Watch out for shipping costs. These suckers are the best because they have serious weight.

Bamboo spreads by runners about 16" below the surface. You have to dig it all up, sift the dirt and remove anything that looks like a root. You can rig a blow torch to a propane tank and burn everything you turn over too.

Dunno what a smart pot is. Instant Pot is a "7-in-1" pot, does rice, slow cooking, pressure cooking, etc. One of the 7 is yogurt making, which probably isn't used very often, and another is sauteeing, which I'm not sure how you manage in an enclosed vessel, but people seem to like them.

Last year, we visited a McDonalds in Normandy near the Canadian cemetery
- it was almost fully automated. After placing your order at a kiosk
and one of the staff members (polite young kids who reminded me more of
Chik Fil A workers than McD's - at least around here) brought the food
to the table. Seemed like a great system and I wondered how long it
would take to implement it here.

I went to a McDonald's at the Munich airport. 2 employees -- one cook and one guy at the window who handed out orders. You ordered and paid on the kiosk, got a number, and picked your order up at the window when your number came up on the screen.

Japan Woodworker has a line of cheap Japanese kitchen knives made in the traditional Japanese fashion -- bargain basement Damascus, one layer of fine steel hand-hammered between two layers of soft durable iron. You can get one for under $30 there. I have one and it's a pip.
The "better" ginsu knives, with the metal handle, are the best tomato knife I've ever used. Not as good for bread, but, serviceable. My bread knife is from France, because (pace Gracie Allen) French bread.

Then he arranged those like roses in the pie shell, added caramel and baked.

There are multiple styles of Chinese cleavers for different tasks. The one used to chop through bones is very different from the one used to thin-slice vegetables. There's even a short-height one that is perfect for separating the skin of the Peking Duck from the fat and meat below.

I've been sharpening knines on a stone for four decades - since I got my first pocket knife.
I recently whittled a hatchet handle from a pecan branch - I can shave with that hatchet blade if I chose to. But I can't fix those beat- up knives.

I don't know how you could have worked that into the screenplay, but it explains the title and accounts for the missing Regan. So, if you'd read the book, a lot of the movie was a real hoot. Without, kind of an odd story.

I have eaten at Buca di Beppo restaurants in LA, San Diego, Chicago, San Francisco and Seattle. They were all alike, and not in a good way. I used to work for a corporation run by Irishmen and Germans and their Polish secretaries, that had a morbid fascination with scheduling group events at BdB. Ugh. Mass-produced, overcooked glop.
My mother-in-law (born in Lucca) was a great Italian chef, and I learned a lot from her. It's like BdB took all of her recipes and figured out how to do them in a slow cooker a week in advance.
I can, off the top of my head, name 25 great Italian restaurants in the U.S., some mediocre ones, and a few that must, like the planet Earth under attack by the whale messenger probe in Star Trek IV, be avoided at all costs. BdB falls into that last category.

My wife has a recipe from her Grandma forStanding Rib Roast rib in the oven, it's good.
First you bring it to room temp, season. Bake it for 1 hr at 375. Leave the oven shut and turn it off for at least 2 hours. Then finish it off at
375 for 35 min for rare, 45 for med.
It allows you to get it done earlier before all the later work before guests arrive and other dinner prep. Time tested recipe, maybe from the 50s or 60s.

Welcome to the club. Any cook who has never ruined an expensive ingredient is not experimenting enough.
Read an interesting article in which the author tried various techniques for making the perfect prime rib. Conclusion was: A really long time at a very low temperature (200?) until done internally (130?), then a stint in a superhot oven, to build the crust.
Keeping a charcoal grill at 200 for hours requires a lot of vigilance, though less so if you have one of those ceramic ones.

For awesome chicken fingers/nuggets, try the gluten -free breadcrumb by 4C. They're made from rice and have no crappy chemical ingredients. You can season them any way you want when you make chicken nuggets.
I read the recipe and don't agree on skipping the initial flouring before dipping the pieces into the egg mixture.
Don't use flour, though, use potato starch instead.
Then when you put the coated chicken pieces on the oiled tray, sprinkle a little more oil on top of the pieces.
Sometimes I make a big batch and put some away in the freezer. I don't know how these rice breadcrumbs would be in other recipes, but for chicken fingers and rice balls, they are amazing!

I got some Weston thing that attaches to the counter with suction cups that works really well. Didn't know that the Ronco would do that.

Kitchen Aid mixer, immersion blender, and a Furi knife I use to chop
everything. I would love any recommendations y'all have for a mid-level
set of knives.

I am a bit of a kitchen whore, and luckily my man indulges my love of cooking, (as he says, he loves to eat so it works out well). The last few years I've gotten into ceramic knives, particularly from Kyocera. They are light, keep their edge amazingly well, and I am in love with my tomato knife, which slices through skin so smoothly! I still have my Henckels and ceramic isn't good for prying or frozen/hard cutting, but for clean, consistent cuts I love them - plus, they're not that expensive and if you're into colours, the blades are usually black or white, and the handles come in blue, green, etc. I think having good knives is an important 'gadget'.
As for 'traditional' gadgets, I love getting kitchen stuff for Christmas. I don't use my pressure cooker often enough, although I'm getting back into a kick with it. Corned beef and cabbage and veg, done in record time, as well as fried chicken, without the splatter. I don't like the slip handle versions, I found a nice old school one I liked and the amazing BF got it for me. The brand is Magefesa and I love it - sturdy, well made, had it for about eight years, has worked great.
I also want to echo the scale and immersion blender suggestions - the latter is a Kitchen Aid in red; don't get a rechargeable one, because the electric ones have better power. Instead of using a tedious food mill this year we tried the immersion blender on the cooked pumpkin in a large pot and the consistency was beautiful and smooth and made wonderful pie.
I also suggest investing in a Le Creuset dutch oven. I make braises, osso buco, spaghetti sauces, baked beans and everything in between, and the oven to stovetop feature is wonderful. The cast iron core retains heat and the enamel is easy to clean. Plus there are purdy colours and it is an investment.
I also am very big on mise en place when I cook, and a little set of prep bowls in glass is great, plus you can use them for other things like holding dipping sauces.

10" Victorinox chef's knife. VERY affordable.
8" Global chef's knife. Pricey, but worth it if you're handling it all day.
8" Global vegetable cleaver. Again, pricey, but essential if you're tackling 20 lbs of potatoes.
7" serrated Victorinox. Affordable & incredibly sharp.
I find the German knives too heavy since I lost my pinky finger in a gardening accident--no knives were involved! Now, losing a pinky isn't that big a deal but I do drop the soap in the shower. A lot.
Favorite gadget (defined as something I don't use every day because it's so specialized): Oxo's cherry pitter. It also pits olives, which I think taste better than commercially pre-pitted olives. Plus, it shoots the pit a good distance so you can have some fun aiming for the trash can from across the room.

Once (maybe twice) each year, I take my knives to a professional who uses various methods to sharpen them, as well as to repair minor nicks. He can look at a blade and know if it's been washed in a dishwasher, and if the owner uses one of those home electric sharpeners that often destroy the edge. He actually uses a strop. He charges me $3/knife and it's well worth it.
Then I use a steel to refresh the blade as needed.
Don't let them rattle around in a drawer. Give them a proper home: a knife block or a magnetic strip. And if you transport them (like I do to work), use a knife safe (a plastic sheath).
Dull knives are bloody accidents waiting to happen. Don't let anyone use your knives...I once let a friend use my very sharp knife and she got cut. She wasn't used to handling a sharp knife and applied too much muscle. (She keeps her knives rattling in a drawer with her serving spoons and can openers.)
ANOTHER favorite gadget: a tomato fork. It's incredibly cheap ($1-$2). Cores tomatoes, scrapes the seeds from cukes and zucchini. A must-have for gazpacho.
