The liquid off beans (aquafaba) like chickpeas will make meringue candy. Learn what can be substituted. Look for odd recipes like that and those that don’t require many ingredients. Learn what can be substituted. I recently learned all varieties (sweet or hot) fresh pepper stems and be use as yogurt starter. Make yogurt as you normally would but instead of store bought starter, use about 6 pepper stems (can have caps attached but no flesh) per quart of the heated/cooled milk. I don’t care for the bell pepper flavor but do like the jalapeno slightly warm spicy flavor in the first batch. The chained batches taste like plain yogurt without any spiciness. The first jalapeno batch can be baked into a cheesecake or veggie dip. The pepper starter incubates quicker than the regular starter and produces less whey. Yes, the stems can be frozen to be used at a later date.
I’ve only had one batch of the bell pepper sort of fail but that was my fault. I set it back in to incubate a couple days later and bam! it was done a short time later so a success.
Very interesting on the yogurt. Do you think in survival times, yogurt would have a bigger place than milk?
