What's your secret ingredient that makes your version of a common dish better than anyone else's?

Mine probably isn't that secret these days, but almost every sauce I add nutritional yeast to. Curry, chilli, bolognese, it just makes them all better.

Admittedly, yeah. Technically in the US’s stupid system that should be “a half pinch.”

A pinch being 1/16 teaspoon.

Lol, of course they have a name for it

Are all those recipes that call for a "pinch of this" or a "dash of that" suddenly making more sense to you?

I just thought it meant "a bit", and it basically does because noone can really measure a 16th of a teaspoon

I knew dash and pinch, I didn’t know tad, smidgen, or drop. Fascinating.

That's not a teaspoon. I didn't say you couldn_t measure arbritrary amounts of stuff, just eyeballing a 16th of a teaspoon is not something you can do accurately

Look i don't know what your dumb ass is on about, you can't eyeball the amount if you use milliliters either.
