It'll feel less horrifying if you know how you can make lye B^). Lye can be made by heating up baking soda to a good heat. This turns it into sodium oxide which will react with water(and produce a lot of heat, so be careful) to make sodium hydroxide or lye. You can also take regular salt and do some electrochemistry iirc to get things like hydrochloric acid and lye. Lye is a really old cleaner though and was used to bleach things or to make soap. If you expose it to fatty acids, like lard or vegetable fats, then you get soaps via saponification( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saponification ). Also you can take baking soda and mix it with vinegar(like those old volcano projects for science classes) and you'll get sodium acetate which is what salt and vinegar chips use to flavor them.
The beer flavor I think was just the yeast, it had no bitterness. My grandpa didn't approve and he thought it was beer and told me that he made better beers in college B^). Also, I see. Mac and cheese is great. What's wrong with meat though? Like does it have some kind of off taste or is it because you don't like the idea of eating animals?
>isnt that just most cooking in general? lmao
True, I guess it'd be better to say that I haven't baked much. Also freshly caught and cooked catfish was nice -- but I don't know how much you'd approve of that. For me though, meats are the one thing that I can eat without a problem. It's basically just breads and meats but sandwiches are a no go.
