do you know what a mortar and a pestle are, individually?

@Felthry I own a mortar and pestle, so I definitely learned it at some point : :breadthink:

@GreySleeves well, you could absolutely own a set without knowing which name goes to which part, or even really realizing that they have individual names!

@Felthry Definitely, but I usually identify what things before buying them. Usually. Can't say I did the same for my car, though :breadthink:

@GreySleeves We purchased some food today without knowing what it was! or rather, we thought we knew what it was (chocolate cake with mousse icing) and were wrong (it was chocolate cake with cheesecake)

fortunately it was still very tasty

@Felthry it occurs to me that I tend to examine the ingredients of anything that I haven't tried before, (I've experimented with different diets, so I'm used to looking at the labels)

I've been trying to find more veggies that I'm down with lately e.g. Shiitake and lotus roots are some of my favorite stir-fry ingredients that I've only just discovered probably within the past year :3
