Let me guess, this week's episode to be called 'the super cycle continues' šŸ‘Œ

Wow, that looks amazing šŸ‘. Scollop as well! Yum yum

Emma says she loves everything you cook, but is hoping there maybe spring lamb on the menu.... I also love your food so just want the biggest portions šŸ˜‹

Brilliant. Just booked 4 tickets. It's for Emma's birthday and really looking forward to it. Hope the menu is coming along nicely šŸ˜‹

Yeah, it's on my list to sort! Hopefully coming to April feast - just confirming if it will be 2 or 4 of us šŸ‘

I’m on a bit of a mission to remove all seed oils and ultra-processed foods (UPFs) from our baked goods at my family bakery.

Back in the 1960s (before I was born!), lard was the go-to fat—great for baking, readily available, and widely used. Then vegetarianism gained popularity, so we switched to palm oil, which, at the time, seemed like a perfect alternative due to its similarity to lard. However, concerns about deforestation and the impact on orangutans led us to adopt ā€œsustainably sourcedā€ palm oil—whatever that really means. It made us and our customers feel better, at least for a while.

As the movement to remove palm oil gathered pace, new products emerged, including palm-free baking fat, which is essentially a mix of rapeseed oil and emulsifiers. We transitioned a lot of our bread recipes that contained fat to this new product. Then I discovered Bitcoin, and from there, fell down the rabbit hole of learning about everything—including seed oils!

So now, we’re making the shift away from seed oil-based fats toward something better. We already use a lot of butter, but since we also cater to vegans, it’s not always a viable option. Olive oil, while great, can be too strong for certain breads. That led us to testing coconut fat, and I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how well it works—it doesn’t make everything taste like a piƱa colada! It’s a single-origin ingredient, and hopefully, a step up from rapeseed oil.

My hunch is that, in time, the market will shift again, and we’ll find ourselves back at lard. That might be a step too soon for our customers right now, but it’s where I see the best long-term solution.

The food industry is a fascinating place to work, but it has its fair share of bad practices that don’t always put customers first. At our bakery, we’ve always tried to go against the grain (pun intended!), and I’m incredibly grateful to the Bitcoiners who opened my eyes to better alternatives. I’ll do my best to steer our family business in this direction! 🫔

And your sourdough is top notch!

Cheers, that's defo some food for thought, and a few things we could change. Surprised getting rid of a microwave wasn't in the top 4. What's your view on them?

Isn't the sun only strong enough from march to October time in the UK for us to get vitamin D from it. Sure I read that somewhere. Funnily enough I don't wear sun glasses as much as I used to.

Interesting, I do think i have a little stronger trial hand grip

The answer maybe all of it, but you have to appreciate it takes time for people to get there. And where there is luck, is the price you make your first purchase. Some unfortunate person could read this at the top this year and put all their money in. If we then have an 80% drawdown they will likely very not survive. If someone went all in after FTX blow up, then yeah, great. Let's have some more education about individual investment choices and risk management as well as bitcoin. We want those who make the move into bitcoin to be here for the long term

Yeah, it's all gone wrong since alby wallet changed. I'll have to have another look, thanks

Another great chat I had with nostr:npub1vq9nwyrt8e8dpysjqn8g94zck30qq2pz3evd75kmtcfr3zpqpauqv2k2jp from nostr:npub1zxsucpq7g3a9m4dzlgqc69rwc7pra5nz0hsgrnya5wg46nuatj5qus2knw on all things self-custody and how you can make sure you will never lose access to your Bitcoin.

Highly recommended! Very high signal and practical advice.

Really interesting stuff and nice to have a guest different to the usual suspects (as great as they are)
