I guess that is the exception for the Netherlands.

I'm not familiar with the Netherlands politics but I know how great the bicycle infrastructure is and when people got infrastructure that make life better they don't want to go back that's true for everyone. The issue in most places is building the infrastructure in the first place to make people get used to not use the car... that usually take a left wing gov that force it on the people until the people actually see the benefit so it takes a large majority and a lot of investments for at least 10-20 years.

That's why it is so difficult to do.

In Italy I never, in my lifetime at least, saw a stable left wing gov, the few times we won it was a really tiny majority that could not last more then a few years... never enough to get things done.

For example the last gov actually made a law to allow the use of electric scooters and pushed for the use of alternative means of transportation to the cars... but now we got Salvini and he made sure to make electric scooters not usable without many extra cost like an insurance and a plaque... basically those that don't use it everyday will go back to using a car (at least for the most part... I'm using a kick scooter since that's a loophole in the law. I'm also thinking about buying a good foldable bike but I need something light and it need to be foldable because I want to bring it inside building to avoid thieves), he also cut funds for public transit and bike lines.

People using a car are not used to share the road, the infrastructures is still a work in progress and of course there are always young stupid people that will make something that make no sense like going on the highway with a modified scooter (and obviously the traffic police, instead of enforcing the law regardless of the presence of a license plate, justified themselves with its absence in order to do nothing).

In short, political continuity is needed to change things. Otherwise, the left builds and the right dismantles. The Netherlands are in that sweet spot where the right wing cannot dismantle what the people actually like and want, that's the only reason why they are not against bicycles... they actually are (after all rich people want to move in a car like they own the street) but they cannot do anything about that anymore. They need the majority of the people on their side... they need the poor to vote for them against their own interests, so they just don't touch what most people like.

PS. To be clear I'll make another example... In Italy nobody (not even the right wing) can say "let's cut public healthcare and public school". Because most people like and want those things... But they can just say they are in favor of them and little by little cut/not fix things.

It is no coincidence that during the years of right-wing government, services have slowly worsened and many now rely either on employment insurance (a scam to avoid giving workers a raise) or give up on medical care altogether because it has simply become difficult to book a medical appointment.

There are those who pay directly for a medical appointment in the private sector... and those who wait even 1 year or more to have these medical visits

Obviously, having a public service still works for emergencies, and in theory there's a way to get reimbursed by the state if it takes too long to book an appointment in the public sector.

In practice, however, the system has been calibrated by the right to make everything much more difficult.

Doctors are allowed to work in both the public and private sectors in public hospitals... but this leaves some doctors who dedicate much more time to the private sector than the public, and they do so in public facilities.

All these various privileges that right-wing governments have gradually inserted into various laws, which by themselves didn't mean much, but over time have caused damage.

After all the right want people to pay for healthcare, they want the same thing as US, because rich people got the money to pay for healthcare.

Right wing will always be like that, people just need to understand that and stop voting for them, even when they hate immigrants.

Yet many people in EU still would vote for the same things here in EU.

Right wing is basically the same everywhere in the world, pro fossil fuel, pro wars, pro rich people, against welfare, against bicicles, pro cars, against immigrants, against LGBTQ+, against everyone that's different.

Tax the poors to make them richer, that's the right wing agenda, yet so many people that just hate immigrants or gays vote for them because people prefer to hate instead of trying to solve issues and make everything better for everyone.

Some right wing is against trump just because he act like he said he would act... like a selfish person... People knew it from the start yet Meloni, Salvini etc were happy that he was elected... until he decided to just be selfish on right wing in Italy too.

People that hate trump should not vote right wing, if you are, you are basically the same as maga supporters just in Europe.

Not true at all. The Pharaoh's Memories saga is awesome.

I agree.

Orihime doesn't deserve anything bad.

I just think Ichigo and Rukia were a good match, but the main reason is that I don't think Orihime is as interesting as Rukia as a character and as a girl (I like strong willed woman), not because I dislike Inoue.

I actually think Inoue started strong but end up a little bit forgotten together with Chad, and I'm glad she actually did something cool in the new anime (I prefer the anime to the manga for that reason).

The main issue that I see with Orihime and Ichigo as a couple is that they are not fun together, while I really love how Ichigo react everytime he is with Rukia.

Still I don't hate Orihime at all, she is a nice girl and deserve happiness.

Gou and sotsu are shit. Aside from that Higurashi is an amazing characters story not a good mystery. That's why the spoilers actually don't really matter at all. I would not have liked higurashi based on the mystery and I would not have played it 3 times if only the mystery was good

Don't worry. I played the VN 3 times already. Higurashi is not a story that relay on the mistery... It's a characters story. You can enjoy it multiple times just because living with the characters is fun. The anime does that in a decent way, the VN is superior on basically everything (you also got more openings too in the VN) 

I played the VN 3 times already. People takes spoilers way too seriously this days. A piece of art mean you can experience it even the 2nd, 3rd and so on time not just once. Higurashi shock value is a weak reason to actually experience the story because the mystery in Higurashi is not something you can figure it out, it is a mix of elements that can be supernatural or ground in reality so much that some people actually don't like the answer at all... But that's not the point of the experience in higurashi, the point is living with characters that actually feel real, I actually feel bad for them when things don't work out. I actually want to help them. So much that I don't like that the anime (especially gou/sotsu) relay way too much on the shock horror thing. For me higurashi horror is a really small element, confined within psychologic of each characters and should not be the focus at all because even in the most horror of the VN everything is actually more a drama then an horror. Basically what you got is just the answer to a mystery that was never a mystery for you to solve to begin with, you tried to find horror and shock value in a show that's way too mature for such kid stuff. Start from scratch and actually experience the characters, play all the VN. Do not try to reach the goal, enjoy the journey. 

Maybe it's a pun but since I'm not an English native speaker to be honest I didn't understand it

ti capisco ma poterla mangiare più spesso se poi non è più buona tanto vale.

La quantità di lardelli che ho usato io in realtà è inferiore a quella della ricetta ufficiale. 300g di lardelli erano quelli necessari, io ho preso solo 500g di pancetta e ho ricavato alla fin fine solo 220g di lardelli.

Nella ricetta li ho scritti giusti ma nel mio caso ne ho usati quasi 1/3 in meno (non come scelta programmata ma perché quelli avevo in quel momento).

Insomma... sì si può fare con meno grasso ma il grasso contribuisce al sapore, metterne troppo poco significa fare una specie di wurstel molto meno saporito quindi non lo consiglio.

A mio parere i lardelli in quelle quantità sono giusti e andrebbero usati.

La mortadella d'altronde non è un cibo magro quindi non vedo logica nel diminuire la quantità di grasso.

Beh se chiedi a me ovvio XD.

Ma ad essere onesto, la mortadella per me è sempre super buona (a meno che non sia proprio di bassissima qualità, tipo le mini mortadelline che si trovano nei frighi del supermercato le ho assaggiate una volta e non sono granché, ma quelle alla gastronomia sono ottime).

Se mi stai chiedendo se val la pena farla in casa per averla più buona direi di no. A livello di gusto sono più o meno equivalenti.

A livello di costi il macinato di maiale è economico (anche se dipende pure dal pezzo che si va ad usare, ma in generale non è caro) e costituisce la stragrande maggioranza del costo. Il costo dell'energia nonostante le tante ore di forno è molto basso perché la temperatura è estremamente bassa.

Però non ho fatto una comparazione precisa. La prima volta che l'avevo fatta però avevo calcolato un certo risparmio in particolare dopo che è aumentata da meno di 10€/kg a quasi 15.

Sicuramente c'è il vantaggio di poter scegliere le spezie (ad esempio di poter evitare il pepe in grani). Questo penso non sia da sottovalutare.

Non è così in tutte le fette a dirla tutta, è più un caso che si sia agglomerato in quel punto specifico. Il pepe lungo poi è più grosso del pepe normale in grani quindi è più visibile. La distribuzione in generale è venuta uniforme (ho tagliato già altre fette sia per pranzo sia da distribuire a parenti).

Premesso che ho usato spezie leggermente diverse quindi non è identico, resta comunque è molto simile.

Son sicuramente di parte ma penso che se la facessi assaggiare a qualcuno che non lo sa la scambierebbe per una mortadella acquistata... anche perché le mortadelle non sono proprio tutte identiche come gusto..

That's an idea, maybe I will try it next time. But I would also like to get better at tying it because I like the round traditional shape. Still I will keep it in mind for an experiment

vero, avevo scordato di scrivere forno statico ora correggo.

Non è importante sia appesa in realtà... potevo metterla sopra la griglia, ho semplicemente voluto provare mentre c'ero perché tradizionalmente viene cotta appesa (anche se in realtà viene appesa solo da una parte). Non fa differenza a quella temperatura, non dovrebbe lasciar segni la griglia.

I pezzi interi di prosciutto/mortadella ecc... in realtà si conservano molto più a lungo in frigo rispetto alle loro versioni già affettate (questo l'ho già testato diverse volte anche in piena estate). Se però pensi di non poterla consumare in 2-3 settimane conviene metterla sottovuoto.

Ovviamente va mantenuta comunque sempre in frigo coperta e lo strato più esterno tenderà comunque ad ossidarsi ma non dovrebbe andar a male. A maggior ragione aggiungendo la pasta di salsiccia che un minimo di conservanti li ha.

Ovviamente dipende anche dalla temperatura del frigo e da mille altri fattori... se si vedono muffe/sentono sapori strani in generale buttare è meglio che prendersi un'infezione. Però in generale la mortadella non mi è mai andata a male nel mio frigo a 4°C, né il prosciutto cotto (neanche quello fatto in casa). Una cosa certa è che non c'è rischio botulino, se la carne è fresca infatti viene poi cotta quindi non ha residui di tossina né di batteri al suo interno.

PS. I forgot to add, if you use lemon juice 7,5 ml are ok, if you use citric acid just pay attention, the video say 5g but in the description it say 1.5g because he got confused when he made the video.

So 1.5g of citric acid is the correct amount to make mascarpone. I suggest lemon juice, it still works fine I never failed with lemon juice

I'm glad it was helpful.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm actually helping someone or just wasting time expecially after getting answer like OP in this same thread did that time, but if other could benefit it was worth it.

that's not real pumpernickel since the ingredients are not just cracked rye, water and salt.

la gallina in brodo è uno dei piatti più assurdamente buoni ed economici che ci siano

Un paio di consigli da parte mia

L'equazione 1 uovo 100g di farina nella mia esperienza non è buona, porta ad un impasto spesso fin troppo idratato poco lavorabile a cui bisogna aggiungere tanta farina di spolvero. Dalle foto non sembra il tuo caso ma personalmente parlando consiglio sempre di usare metà farina di semola, metà farina 00, e sostituire metà delle uova con 3 tuorli/100g. Il che significa 1 uovo = 100g di semola, 3 tuorli = 100g di farina 00.

L'impasto così è molto più difficile da incorporare all'inizio ma dopo resta decisamente più semplice da lavorare in macchina.

Penso che il motivo per cui tu abbia dovuto cuocerle così a lungo è che sembrano molto spesso quelle tagliatelle, che per quanto mi riguarda non è neanche un vero e proprio difetto.

L'altro consiglio che ti do invece è di fare il ragù in anticipo, magari in grandi quantità da congelare in mono porzioni, per dar modo al ragù di sciogliere il collagene con una lunga cottura. Ho fatto parecchi ragù in questi anni e i migliori hanno tutti cotto sopra le 2-3 ore.

Non do giudizi sull'ultima foto.

Detto questo non so il tuo livello di esperienza, dalle foto mi pare comunque un buon lavoro.

Non penso... Il nome pumpernickel è tedesco. Inoltre non ha un gusto così forte da far venire gli incubi... È abbastanza delicato come gusto, ha un profumo molto buono ed è vagamente dolcino 

For what I understand historically speaking it was made in the oven after all other bread type so I don't think you actually need to maintain 105°C all the time, it could be an option to start high and let the oven cool down in the next 24 hours while the bread cooks. But of course this need experimentation. I don't have a wood oven so I cannot do it
