For the majority of human history, we’ve eaten around wood (around a campfire, a hearth, etc), it makes sense it would become intertwined with our food palette

Willdrick ,

That’s what whiskey is for

Muscar ,

And smoking anything, it’s definitely part of food as a taste just not the wood it self as an ingredient.

nomous ,

Being used to make the fire/smoke that cooks the food is a really good point, wood is definitely food adjacent even if it’s not strictly edible.

aphlamingphoenix ,

Cinnamon and sumac are two common spices that are made from grinding up tree bark.

echodot ,

Also ginger.

And technically wormwood too, although that’s more you drinking water that is soaked into wood.

die444die ,

Ginger is a root, maybe you’re thinking of something else?

Silentiea ,
@Silentiea@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I think most would consider most tree roots to be “woody”

die444die ,

It’s not a tree root.

Silentiea ,
@Silentiea@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Is it woody?

die444die ,

It is not.

creditCrazy ,
@creditCrazy@lemmy.world avatar

Eh what is a root if not wood that is covered in dirt

die444die ,

So is a potato wood? A carrot?

Ginger is not a tree. It’s a flowering plant.

echodot ,

A potato is not a flowering plant it’s a tuba, such as an onion. Totally different thing entirely to a bit of wood attached to a tree.

die444die ,

And potato is a tuber but an onion is not. Both are flowering plants. So is ginger.

Ginger has nothing to do with ‘a bit of wood attached to a tree’ which is exactly my point.

Don’t be bringing brass instruments into this…

anindefinitearticle ,

Potato plants absolutely have flowers. Have you ever grown one? Be careful with the potato flowers and fruits. They are poisonous nightshade.

echodot ,

The root of a tree. Made of wood.

die444die ,

No, ginger is not a tree.

pbbananaman ,

You using a different kind of sumac than the rest of us? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumac#In_food

aphlamingphoenix ,

I stand corrected on that one. I assumed it was sumac bark, and you know what they say about assumption. It makes an ass out of u and mption.

Fermion ,

The bit about powdered sumac (bark?) being a powerful dye for marble is pretty interesting. I wish there was an example photo.

Thorny_Insight ,

You can. I know a guy who eats a birch log every year. He literally sits on the couch pulling splinters from the log and chews on them while watching tv. He also grinds his egg shells and mixes with oatmeal.

This sounds like a terrible idea in the long-term.

intensely_human ,

Wood is a renewable resource

zaphod ,

Why? It’s basically just fiber.

Pandantic ,
@Pandantic@midwest.social avatar

Is this a thing? Why does he do it?

Thorny_Insight ,

He believes there’s some health benefits to it

OutlierBlue ,

Why wood he do such a thing?

ThrowawaySobriquet ,

Are you sure your friend isn’t just three beavers in a long coat?

DrSteveBrule ,

A friend of mine doesn’t peel shrimp tails

NotMyOldRedditName ,

🤢

intensely_human ,

I don’t peel shrimp tails either. I don’t eat shrimp.

GraniteM ,

There are plenty alcohols, like whiskey and wine, that are supposed to have “oaky” flavors due to the barrels they’re kept in.

is your pizza made of… wood?

OP confirmed for beaver with dental issues.

It might interest you to know that we do eat wood when we eat that sprinkled parmesan or romano cheese in the plastic containers: It contains wood to prevent the cheese from clumping (and it counts as fiber)

Cosmonaut_Collin ,
@Cosmonaut_Collin@lemmy.world avatar

Thank God I can eat cheese to get my fill of wood for the day.

FartsWithAnAccent ,
@FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io avatar

Mmm, anti caking agents...

intensely_human ,

I just call it laxative

Pandantic ,
@Pandantic@midwest.social avatar

All shredded cheeses, I believe.

scutiger ,

Many shredded cheeses are mixed with corn and/or potato starches rather than cellulose (which is not wood either)

Pandantic ,
@Pandantic@midwest.social avatar

Thanks for the info!

scutiger ,

If you consider cellulose to be wood, sure. They don’t put actual wood in there.

XTL ,

What cellulose do they use then?

scutiger ,

Cellulose can come from just about any type of plant. Cotton is almost entirely cellulose, for example.

I don’t know what their cellulose comes from, but saying cellulose is trees is like saying milk is cheese.

rozodru ,

who smells wood and thinks “you know what? I want to slap that pine tree on my pancake”?

FartsWithAnAccent ,
@FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io avatar

Beavers.

NABDad ,

Maybe not a pine tree, but I love birch beer. My parents cut down an old birch tree years ago, and it smelled AWESOME!

hperrin OP ,

I’m not a huge fan of pine, but maple smells delicious.

too_high_for_this ,

You mean like maple syrup?

Lexam ,

If you’ve eaten shredded cheese from the store, then you’ve eaten wood.

Aurenkin ,

Eating shredded cheese and wood is certainly a lifestyle

abbadon420 ,

Wood is notoriously hard to digest. After wood evolved, it took millions of years before funghi and bacteria evolved the ability to decompose it. And that’s why we have oil now.

AnyOldName3 ,
@AnyOldName3@lemmy.world avatar

Coal, not oil, but it’s still an interesting fact.

magikmw ,

Wood is the reason for climate change!

intensely_human ,

And now these hippies want to plant even more trees.

XTL ,

Who are they to stand in the way of climate change‽

ripcord ,
@ripcord@lemmy.world avatar

There was a point during that millions of years where there were areas of thousands of feet deep layers of dead trees. It still boggles my mind.

Amanduh ,

Would you be willing to find a good article explaining this further? This sounds really neat and I’d like to know how scientists figured this out :O

intensely_human ,

(the oil helps us digest wood)

ascense ,

This comes to mind: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bark_bread

systemglitch ,

This should be an unpopular opinion instead, because almost no one associates the smell with a desire to eat it.
