What the fuck do people mean when they say a meal doesn't have enough acid in it? Some girl I met on tinder said this about my home made lasagna.

your food lacked acidity.

I don't understand if thats a bad or good thing though?

Bad if your food needs acidity.

It's like if your cookies lack sugar.

>> No.11985081

Dumb Op it literally means that it's not enough acidic for a savoury flavor, did you add good tomato sauce or did you put in something very basic ?

>Why does food need acidity
Depends on the food in question. Some foods don't taste right without the acidic component. Acid (sourness) is one of the fundamental tastes. Acid is commonly added to dishes to offset rich or fatty meats--that's why there's vinegar in BBQ sauce and ketchup, or why roast ducks or geese are commonly served with fruit.

>> No.11985210

The only reason to add acid is to counter foods that are too fatty or sweet. Lasagna doesn't need acid. The girl sounds like a tastelet moron.

I don't see how that could be possible for a dish so heavy in tomato.

Lasagna does need acid you dip. This is why tomato sauce is such a large portion of it. Lasagna has a ton of cheese, which is fatty.

>Why does food need acidity?
It's a component of food, considered pleasant by many. It's a basic flavor, think of it like a seasoning. In Thailand for instance, there are 5 flavors that need to be balanced; salt, sweet, bitter, sour, and spicy. Vinegar is a sour of course.

Use better sauce, op. Ragu is meh at best.

>> No.11985655

>>11985089
Acidity cuts fat. You have a dish with a bunch of meat and either cheese or a bechamel, it needs acid to cut it. Usually tomato sauce will do it but Ragu is trash, too sweet to accomplish the task
