The downvotes imply many people don't know about the Maillard Reaction.

Thanks for the explainer!

Shame on me for expecting people to know basic food science. 🤦

Is the Maillard Reaction basic food science? Few people are creating recipes, and if you're just following them, you don't need to know it to produced good food. Heck, people cooked for millennium before Maillard identified the reaction.

Still, it had a "moment" a couple of years ago when it seems as if I saw it everywhere. Maybe the downvotes are just from fans of uncertainty.

He didn’t need a name that declared he made meth, he needed a name that distinguished him from other meth makers.

Then why not just keep his regular name? Was there already a meth dealer going by "Walter White?" 🤔
