If there's organic flour, what is anorganic flour made of?
Anorganic wheat,
In principle, Flour made from wheat grown using in inputs produced from inorganic sources. In practice the “organic” term in the US is fairly complex set of standards designed to maximize long term soil health and minimize use of pest/fung/herbicides that could linger long term in the environment around a farm.
So "organic" is a US food label, like Bio?
Yes pretty much exactly. Organic is the US equivalent of Bio in the EU. There are differences in the specifics of what the standards are, some looser, some tighter. The goals of the standards are also a bit different, with the organic label in the US being more focused on soil health, land management and environmental impact, less focused on the “healthiness” of the final product for the consumer. Although lots of people in the US take the label organic to mean “healthy” despite that not really being the goal.
Wtf is that "sourdough loaf"? That shit looks disgusting. Fits more into shitposting.
Here a fresh loaf for your viewing pleasure:
I thought the one in the OP was a breaded chicken breast...
but is it sour?
The post had such a miserable excuse for bread in the pic.
Thank you for the nice bread pic. It looks lovely.
This has to be fake, no way people are paying significantly more than a restaurant just to get food thats Facebook marketplace quality
This post is just a joke made by OP. Notice how it's posted to funny and OP hasn't commented. A single time and is just sitting back and enjoying the show.
Ok yeah I checked, this is 100% fake
Satire. This is satire.
Food with no particular assertions about safety or hygiene either.
Just slap in "made with raw milk and gmo free" and you have a whole set of demographics buying it up and none to complain about it.
Any details on this? Is the plan to just let anyone sell whatever food they damn well please? Commercial kitchen licensing and safe food handling licenses exist for a damn good reason. These regulations were written in bloody diarrhea.
I mean during COVID as a nurse I paid for my neighbor's groceries in exchange for meal prep (they were single with no kids so it was still cheaper than getting takeout all the time) but that's a highly personal deal to cut. Incidentally though I told one of my coworkers about the deal and they were like "wait my neighbor has kids but I could probably still net positive on like half their groceries..." There were some good human moments during that time. I also promoted that neighbor who cooked for me to husband but that's a different story.
You fool, you fell for the classic blunder

Where did the can come from? Does this require soup?
🤮
:(
There is already a massive difference between my coocking for myself and for guests. And my guest cooking wouldnt survive a health inspection. On the other hand do i know enough restutanz kitchens that are worse. So much...
restutanz
They should add a bid option. Then watch people snipe your lunch the last second.
"Hey kids, we are eating tonight! Outbid? Oh no.... sorry kids, its starvation again."
This is a food safety disaster, lmao
You don't want overpriced home cooked food from complete strangers on the internet?
Does the "Hot item" indicator go away after a while? Or are they keeping it hot?
i'm trying to remember how much it cost to get my food handlers permit back when. if i could get my kitchen "home certified" or whatever that means (it's totally a thing shut up) i could be a tamale mama or get back into the ice cream game. i might even be able to compete with our local legend of a tamale mama who started a tamale factory
Your kitchen doesn't need to be certified.
Google Cottage Food Regulations, along with your state, and you'll see the rules for cooking food for sale in your home kitchen. The rules are constantly evolving, especially during Covid, when people weren't working, and needed to make money selling at farmers markets and such. But the rules generally aren't that complicated, which is nice for a government thing, for a change.
Usually it can't be stuff with meat or dairy that has to be kept hot or cold. Baked goods like breads/ cakes/ cookies, candies, jarred stuff like jellies, etc. Basically think room temperature/shelf stable.
There are also rules about labeling, font size, specific disclaimers, etc.
Looking at this, the brownies and bread would be legal in my state, but serving hot soup, especially with meat in it, would be more of a restaurant item, and would be prohibited as a cottage food offering.
I used to own an ice cream shop, and we tapped into the Cottage Food laws a bit. We made our own caramel and fudge (oh yeah, every bit as delicious as you're thinking), and brownies and cookie dough (meh) but we didn't have a stove at the store, so we made them at home. We didn't sell them to the public, we just used them in our ice cream.
That's another issue with Cottage Foods. The cook can sell them themselves, but they can't wholesale it to someone else, and at the time, they couldn't sell it online. Again, the rules are constantly evolving, and every state is different, so YMMV. For instance, another poster mentioned getting a Cottage Food license, but that isn't necessary in my state. You could bake a bunch of brownies, and sell them at your lemonade stand in front of your house today.
In all my limited experience in the Cottage Food world, not once did any authority, food safety inspector, etc. ever ask a word about it. They have these rules, but I'm not sure who would be in charge of enforcing them, and I doubt they even know, so you're pretty much free to do whatever you want - until someone gets sick. Then you're screwed.
So stick to the rules, avoid meat, and you'll be fine.
it is weird that there is bidding for this instead of just all being "buy it now". Who wants to plan several hours ahead for probabilistic takeout you probably won't even get, to maybe hypothetically save several dollars?
Bidding on food? What??
Was there something wrong with the way we have been selling food for like 3000+years?
I want one of these where I just give it away
Lol this is the innovative capitalism brings. People sell food on Facebook and that doesn't seem to go anywhere. Sounds like eBay just desperate for revenue streams
