Food Theory: What Everyone MISSED About The Krabby Patty (SpongeBob)

that eating too many beans can be harmful to the fish. Sounds familiar? Maybe someone will get sick enough to die from consuming too many Krabby Patties against doctor's orders? However, this leaves us with an important question. How could the Krabby Patty be a plant-based burger and still contain a hint of chum? Those two facts seem directly contradictory, but they both come from irrefutable sources. Well, although the word chum refers to a mixture of fish guts, by definition it can also refer to chopped plant matter. Plant matter as the true secret ingredient in all this: Red Algae.

You see, one of the main problems with Krabby Patty being vegan is that plant-based patties lack the natural juices that come from meat patties and no added sugar. It's also a challenge to get those burgers to Brown. But both are well-established characteristics of the Krabby Patty. They are juicy. They brown well. So we know there has to be something else at play here, and that's where red algae comes in. Thanks to research from Yemoja, an Israel-based sea

startup, vegans can now experience all the crunchy, browned, bleeding goodness that makes meat lovers wow. Using a specific strain of Porphyridium, a type of red algae, Yemoja has created a plant-based meat substitute known as Ounje.

When cooked, Ounje changes color from red to brown, emits a meaty aroma, and has meat-like juices that not only freeze, but crunch. That is, the outside of the burger develops a nice, crispy texture when cooked, just like we see happen on the show. Additionally, this is far from the first time we've heard of red algae being consumed as

. If you're a sushi fan, you're probably familiar with nori, the thin black sheets of seaweed commonly used in sushi rolls. This algae is actually a type of red algae. In fact, in the episode Friend or Foe, they flat out confirmed that seaweed sauce is part of Patty's original recipe.

You're the one who put too much seaweed sauce on the burger. So why is Mr. Krabs so determined to keep Krabby Patty's secret formula a secret? Is it to avoid competition? Or is it because he is afraid of

what

his clients will think of him? Mr. Krabs is no fool when it comes to business and he knows that people are notoriously skeptical when it comes to plant-based meat products. He wants to make sure his burger remains the success he's always had all these years, so it's all a big secret. What they don't know won't stop them from buying burgers that, after all, taste delicious.

So the fact that his burgers are plant-based is something he would prefer to keep a secret. That's why he's not afraid to go all out if it means no one finds out Krabby Patty's juicy secret. But is it really necessary? I mean, could it be possible that fish really like red algae, and are therefore receptive, if they aren't intrigued by a burger containing it? Okay, yes. If they do it. Some fish are known to enjoy red algae as part of their daily diet. In fact, fish are known to enjoy and even benefit from many of the ingredients listed in the Krabby Patty: beans, chilies, and onions.

Even turmeric. They are all known to be foods that fish eat, so it's no surprise that they ended up in a successful formula for the Krabby Patty. There you have it, theorists. That's

what

's in a Krabby Patty. Four cups of beans, one chopped onion, enough breadcrumbs to bind the liquid smoke, chili, turmeric, a teaspoon of a calcium supplement, flour, salt, seaweed sauce and finally the big secret; red algae extract and of course, love. The love and pride that a yellow cake has for his little burgers. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to make a childhood fantasy come true by frying up a double Krabby Patty along with everything.
