Miso comparison

I ordered four one-pound jars of miso for my sister-in-law but I'm uncertain she even knows what it is. I'm depending on her food-elitism to be willing to learn if she doesn't already know.

The South River website publishes its shipping schedule and now is the time that they're shipping but not to Concord California because the weather is still warm there. Historically. Apparently they've had problems shipping live culture in warm weather. So they're holding the order until November.

What a bummer.

Gawl!

Oh well, that gives them time to watch the videos. I've already shown the 2001 South River video by Martha Stewart before.

He's such a hippy.

Hippy dippy.

In another video, wearing his customary handkerchief headband and unusual long organic cotton socks that he uses to stomp the warm cooked miso beans, he says, "I feel like singing This Land is Your Land."

Oh Jeeze. He must not know Woody Guthrie was straight up racist. Along with a bunch of other unsavory predilections. There was something not right with that man. Or else the miso guy wouldn't be inclined to sing that stupid song.

Wait a minute.

Hum hummy hum-hum.
Hum hummy hum-hum.
Hummy hummy hum hum
Hum hummy hum-hum.

Oh damn. now I got it stuck in my brain. Sure is a catchy tune. Especially if you go way southern on it. Totally exaggerate the hillbilly in it. Then it's really fun.

And that just goes to show you that crackpots can write great tunes. Credit where it's due, that's a catchy tune.

The miso guy says the mold inoculation helps digestion. But what does that mean? What does that look like? It's like little bugs chewing away at the food that you've already eaten, inside of you, that makes your body processing the food easier. But so what.

If the inoculation liquifies the mixture then your body can absorb the nutrients more easily. Let's watch.
