Insights from the Gourmet AI
Clam soup in Vietnam has long been loved as a healthy and nutritious dish. In Vietnam, freshness is crucial for clams and other shellfish, particularly those harvested from warm seas, as they are considered to have plump flesh and rich flavor. By making soup, one can fully enjoy the umami of clams. Moreover, taurine is known for helping with fatigue recovery and supporting liver function, but unfortunately, it's not a magical ingredient that makes beer's alcohol content disappear. In reality, excessive intake of taurine is also not recommended, so claiming "practically zero alcohol" is unrealistic. There may be worries about whether one is putting a strain on the liver instead of caring for it, and perhaps the author of this blog is conducting nightly experiments just the same. One can imagine them indulging the belief in gourmet modifications, stepping towards the night town with the thought that "beer has zero calories!" once more without learning from their past experiences.
