Mine probably isn't that secret these days, but almost every sauce I add nutritional yeast to. Curry, chilli, bolognese, it just makes them all better.

A (1) teaspoon might be used as a measurement. 1/32 of a Teaspoon is asinine.

Admittedly, yeah. Technically in the USโ€™s stupid system that should be โ€œa half pinch.โ€

A pinch being 1/16 teaspoon.

Lol, of course they have a name for it

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Are all those recipes that call for a "pinch of this" or a "dash of that" suddenly making more sense to you?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I just thought it meant "a bit", and it basically does because noone can really measure a 16th of a teaspoon

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

They literally make the spoons for measuring it.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

what the fuck are you talking about? They didn't make teaspoons for measurement purposes... It's right there in the name.
