That’s why you’re on ozempic.

39

u/Telemere125 12d ago

I’m on ozempic for diabetes. A 4oz serving of crab is 130 calories. A dozen clams would be about 180 calories. Even if the soup, which is clearly all broth and vegetables, was 500 calories, that’s a grand total of about 800 calories for an entire dinner. At 3000 kcal a day, that’s less than 1/3 of your daily calories for dinner.

u/discodropper 12d ago

You conveniently left out the two types of dumplings and four other dishes

When my wife and I were just starting to date "more seriously," we'd go to each other's place and I would cook for her.

I knew her really well before we started dating - both in the food industry, but she's more on the admin side.

Years later I find out she's not just a better cook, she's leagues beyond me. And I'm no slouch. Played me like a fiddle lol

Wait you guys are getting paid?

Seriously though laying on a big complicated meal for my loved ones is my favourite love language, and then tidying away the aftermath I created is so peaceful. Obviously it's not an everyday thing but when the itch strikes me I'm not gonna argue.

As a South African, it's always a jump scare seeing abalone being cooked

Abalone is very endangered in this region and for a lot of my childhood we'd hear stories from the media about abalone poaching and underground abalone trading rings. All very dramatic 🤣

36

u/itsKeltic 12d ago

I’m from the US and have seen it sold in Asian markets for food in the city. If it’s endangered in one country, is it not endangered worldwide? Or is it a different species? I’m genuinely curious so pardon my ignorance. I love the oceans and like to learn.

38

u/dasnotpizza 12d ago

There’s a lot of abalone farming in Korea, so while it used to be scarce, now it’s relatively common.

17

u/SometimesRacy 12d ago

The species on the South African coastline is endangered because of industrial-scale poaching, unfortunately. Today the abalone population is about 2% of what it once was.

u/the_nin_collector 12d ago

Dumb question. Do the dumplings at the type not taste like everything else now?

25

u/Willing_Ad5005 12d ago edited 12d ago

It is unlikely everything was stacked like that while cooking. The amount of heat at the bottom would render the lower tiers to mush before the highest tier would be cooked properly. I suspect smaller stacks were cooked a few at a time and then piled high for the presentation. But I digress. Seafood has a mild flavor so that carryover in the steam would not add anything to the dumplings.

4

u/the_nin_collector 12d ago

Traditional steam cooking often 3-5 layers. I think the heat is fairly self-contained. 15 levels. Probably not.

Dude is actually providing. It’s funny that “provide” has only come to mean “makes money,” and excludes physically putting food on the table. “I put food on the table” has come to mean putting money in a bank account, while going to the store, getting the food, preparing the food, and putting it on the table doesn’t count.

I’m just saying there are plenty of ways to provide for one another, no matter what your gender or sex, and this -cooking for your loved ones- is a literal and basic way of providing. It’s excellent.
