I want a parfleche. Sounds like what the Mongolians made their koumiss in too.
I was wondering if less airtight containers than mason jars might better mimic the natural containers (like grass-lined holes) that first nations people used to make high meats, but I suppose the problem in the modern world is that containers that aren't airtight would stink up the fridge.
I have poked holes in the top of a small mason jar to ferment a tiny portion of chicken. It was small enough, and the holes so tiny that it really didn't pose a problem. Having vegan friends over, any high meat in clear glass really freaks them out I imagine, but no one has said anything.
Why do Aajonus and his followers apparently suck eggs out of the shell instead of cracking them into a container? Less mess?
That's a requirement? I've more often heard him telling people to blend it into milk or kefir. I think he says if you crack it into a container and leave it that way in the fridge more than a day, it starts losing vitamins.
He says his family name means "from the planets." Does anyone know German who can confirm or deny that? Where does he claim this name came from?
From a town called Planitz.
Why does Aajonus refrigerate his high meats?
I wish he would say.
