fishposting
What's going on here?
I'm writing about preserved fish---the edible kind, not the mercantile kind. That means tinned fish, canned fish, fish in vacuum-sealed bags, dried fish.
But, like, why would you do that?
I really like both fish and food preservation, and I want to share my joy and knowledge with the world.
This is one of the most embarrassing things you could be a know-it-all about, by the way.
That's not a question.
Why the "macros"/nutritional information?
There are many reasons to eat tinned fish, and their nutritional value---high protein, low/no carbohydrates, moderate/low fat---is one of them. I liked tinned fish before I started lifting weights, but I started caring about macros to manage recovery (protein makes you feel less sore!) and bodyweight (I don't want to gain weight and hurt my climbing).
What's with the "Dearest Edwina" thing?
It's from my lifting discord: when I came home with some nice whelks from an event that was giving them away (I know, right?), I asked folks what they thought I should do with them. The post started, "I have come into possession of four large whelks", and I was lambasted for my ridiculous language choices. Someone wrote the opening lines of an 18th Century Letter:
My Dearest Edwina,
I have come into possession of four large whelks.
...
I was trolled so hard I couldn't nap, because I kept repeating the line to myself and laughing.
