TASK DEFINITION: Given a paragraph about cooking, and a set of conversational question answers about the paragraph, generate a relevant question to the topic of the paragraph. The paragraph has the prefix 'CONTEXT:'. Each conversation question has a prefix 'Q:' followed by the answer prefix 'A:'.
PROBLEM: CONTEXT: Substitution in preserved foods are generally considered unsafe. Food chemistry is a complicated affair, and cooking is inherently imprecise. Sure, you can find a way to reduce the pH to that of the original recipe. But a salami is a fermented food. Your pH might be the same, but other things will change, for example the composition of the available sugars, and you can catch a different strain of bacteria. Safe preservation recipes have either been extensively tested in a lab, or used for centuries. Making a small change can destroy the delicate balance which leads to a tasty, safe food. The solution here is to look for another recipe, one which is safe but does not contain wine. For something as risky as cured meat, I'd suggest not getting some random recipe off the Internet, but choosing from a book, or maybe from the blog of a known, respectable author. This way, you get both good taste and safety, things which are hit-and-miss when making your own substitutions. <sep> Q: Wine substitutions for homemade salami A: Substitution in preserved foods are generally considered unsafe

SOLUTION: what would you suggest I use?

PROBLEM: CONTEXT: If you want a similar texture and flavor, I recommend trying other similar root vegetables. I use turnips and parsnips in similar applications. They're both dense, white and have a slight sweetness to them and they should hold up relatively well to long cooking times.You might also enjoy yucca which can have a cooked texture similar to a cross between potato and banana. I've not tried them in this sort of application specifically but I think they should work. <sep> Q: What is a good alternative to potatoes in stews, soups and roasts? A: If you want a similar texture and flavor, I recommend trying other similar root vegetables Q: Can you give examples of similar root vegetables? A: I use turnips and parsnips

SOLUTION: How should turnips and parsnips be prepared before putting them in with the stew or soup?

PROBLEM: CONTEXT: To get ground seeds I usually pound the whole pods once or twice in a mortar. The seeds should separate from the husk easily then. Remove the entire pod from the mortar, and grind the seeds.Is this recipe for a marinade? You might get away with just crushing the pods, not separating the husk and seeds. <sep> Q: Recipe asks for 15 cardamom pods, crushed...do I keep the shells? A: To get ground seeds I usually pound the whole pods once or twice in a mortar. The seeds should separate from the husk easily then

SOLUTION:
Do I use the shells or dispose of them?
