What bits do you save that most people throw out? Besides the obvious like bones for stock.
>potato skins
>shrimp peels
>cabbage stumps
>orange peels
>cheese rinds

if i think a fruit or vegetable tastes good, i'll save all the seeds and plant them.

i call that food piracy

I will almost eat the whole chicken bone, ALL of it

>>21447248
I give the chicken bones to my dog.

people say its dangerous, but that's an old wives tale.

>>21447264
Same. Never had an issue.

>>21447098 (OP)
>watermelons
>a rare treat
This is what happens when you live on volcano-mountain-earthquake island I suppose

>>21447098 (OP)
What would you do with freshly bought watermelon rinds? All they're good for is composting.

>>21447248
i make broth with it

>>21447377
Pickling eh

>>21447377
Soak in sake

It can be used in pickles and as food for bell crickets.

>>21447377
Put in ass

>>21447697
In Japan, it is seen as disrespectful to whoever prepared the meal to cram less desirable parts such as the watermelon rind. Japanese etiquette demands that only the finest single piece of each meal be crammed.

it's more that they can choke if they eat them too fast or are startled while chewing, there's a risk but it's overstated, dogs exist because wolves would eat the bones and garbage humans threw away outside their camp

I personally don't consider it worth it but it's not the big deal people think

>>21447717
>it's more that they can choke if they eat them too fast or are startled while chewing
It's a self perpetuating hysteria. The dog will only choke if you freak out and try to steal their bone, forcing them to try and swallow it before they're done chewing.

superior nippon melon asscrammed over won mirrion time

>all this plastic for a few grams of edible matter

Nuke Japan AGAIN.

>>21448162
The by far largest portion of mikro plastics everywhere come from burning tires, which country has the most vroom vroom again?

>>21447237
Sure bud, how many fruits and vegetables habe you pirated so far?

>>21447717
>>21447726
you're retarded. its cooked bones they cant have because it makes them brittle and will splinter which will damage the digestive tract. fresh raw bones are ok as long as they havent been cut(fragments).

>>21448200

tyres are made of rubber you retard

>>21448200
tyres are made of rubber, not plastic

>>21447366
isnt there quite a big poverty problem in japon?

>>21447377
uzbekis make candy of it in cute shapes

>>21448406
the japanese government actively tries to hide poverty for tourism reasons so it's probably "higher than you'd think."

japan also has a weird "homeless" situation where people sleep in those pod hotels or internet cafes or karaoke bars so on paper they have almost no homeless but in reality it's substantial

>>21447366
volcanic sites are great for growing things though. And it gets hot there. They should have no trouble planting melons.

>>21447098 (OP)
>watermellon too expensive
nigga it says right there the precut watermelon slices are 298 yen...

ffs tik tokers are brain dead. The reason those are sold is because most people use that part for decorations on dishes. A whole watermelon costs about 2000 yen at AEON if you buy it during peak season.

>>21448447

lmao 13 dollars for a watermelon. what a shit tier country. You get them for like €2 here

>>21448472
>here

>>21447098 (OP)
>tiktok

>>21447237
Keep in mind most fruits only reproduce (effectively) through grafting.
Planting an appleseed will grow an apple tree, and in 10 or 15 years time it will probably produce some apples but they won't be the same type you got the seed from and are unlikely to even taste edible.
