Heyyyyy Everyone! Thanks for watching! Who keeps some powdered acids in their pantry? Who is going to go pick some up now? Love to see the interest in vinegar and lactic acid fermentation in the comments. If there are other topics you'd like to me cover, let me know!
-
we want more acid episodes!
-
We absolutely need vinegar and fermentation episodes Dan!! Wonderful work.
-
Yes! More stuff about acids, and vastly more about fermentation, please! 🎉
-
Vinegar and fermentation episodes would be amazing!
-
Even with the insane amount of competition, and my admiration for many other creators, America's Test Kitchen stands at the peak of my favorite culinary content.
-
Yes to the vinegar and lactic acid fermentation videos!
-
Yes, please do more episodes on the ones you mentioned in the video. This was very informative. Will keep watching!
-
Learn from my mistake, LABEL YOUR ACIDS. Citric acid looks incredibly close to granulated sugar. For months, I thought I had somehow forgotten how to bake and was slowly losing my mind. My poor husband’s birthday cheesecake was absolutely awful. 😅
-
Yes. Please do episodes on lactic and acetic acids. Your short bites (see what I did there?) on various ingredients are interesting and very informative. Keep up the good work!
-
Just fascinating. I love watching Dan, he teaches well without "talking down" to the viewer.
-
Yes, further episodes on other acids and fermentation! I have to watch this again to really learn it. Thanks!
-
I am all for the Acetic acid & Lactic acid episodes. Vinegar & fermentation are totally worth the time! 8)
-
‘Taste of Acid’ followed by a wink is Classic Dan.
-
Yes please enlighten us regarding vinegar and lactic acid!
-
The concept of lime-strength orange (et al.) juice has expanded my brain like a dune guild navigator. This is a life-changing video.
-
I’d been waiting for this breakdown my whole life, but never bothered to look into it Tysm!
-
Hi Dan, yes pls on the other videos....loving your stuff! Thank you ❣

I've read that sour taste is the oldest taste we've identified in the genomic record, going back millions of years and developing before any other taste. The theory I read was that it allowed ancient organisms to identify when they swam into low oxygen/high CO2 water, which would be more sour due to the carbonic acid formed.
-
Sour is my favourite taste. I love limes, grapes, oranges (among other citrus fruits) and lemons.
