Lockdown era sweaty wild mane and beard Jay x Hot Off The Presses Autumn 2024 Finally Gracefully Aging Greying Buzz Cut Jay please

the UK apparently is using the Malaysian/Hong Kong type of plugs which are annoying as shit. every time you go to HK (and Malaysia) you have to remember to bring the stupid converter because they insist on using stupid special sockets. the plugs are fucking huge and bulky and annoying.

unlimited on ranchers, being both landowners and animal torturers/murderers (of cows, of natural predators, and now also of penguins)

Kevin Costner: I’m a little fancy bowtie boy! Stay away from the Terrible Bear* *(an american cryptid, a myth created by landowners)

Normal non-USians: Chill, we’re just taking photos. That’s just a normal bear. Terrible Bears don’t exist

Kevin Costner: NOooo, the Terrible bear wants to eat you, it can smell you’re working class. I’m safe. By the way I own all the land and I’m a special fancy boy. The special fences show that I own the land

Normal people: 我不相信. 滚

Kevin Costner: shoots his pew pew guns and yells incomprehensible anglo grunts

Bear:

vote for Harris now

nowhere did she imply that

thanks for the effortreply. i spent a lot of my life in the nordics and while everyone makes fun of british and midwestern american food for being bland and boring, scandinavian food deserves that reputation. obviously the bland food has a material reason behind it, because it’s subarctic and dark, so most of the food is based on salty pork, taters and onions, heavy enough to last you through a cold day. if you like slight variations on that theme then great.

it’s probably my least favourite food region in the world, and it feels weird to call potato and meat home cooking as a “regional cuisine” but i guess it is in a way. not being nationalistic, just not a fan of the style. same goes for most northeastern european food but i think northern slavic food has some more creativity to it and more varied flavors.

which is why my original post was that salty licorice is one of the few flavors out of the nordics which is actually interesting

edit, i also kinda like hasselback potatoes, seafood salad with dill, and swedish sandwich cake which is such a ridiculous thing that it should only be served at funerals so that people have something to ponder. COME TO THINK OF IT dill might be the other cool thing north/northeast europe does that is underused in the rest of the world

lol

salty licorice is a very rare example of an interesting flavor to come out of north europe. pickled herring was certainly an aquired taste before I was but in hindsight it kinda just tastes like every other white-vinegar+sugar pickled food which is fine i guess, nothing extraordinary

smoked paprika and garlic powder are so epic, but so is whatever is the Next Thing (in 2010 it was sriracha, in 2020 it was gochujang, now it’s za’atar maybe? though that’s too difficult to source for your average foodbro)

a USian with bleached teeth when they see a normal mouth:

this looks like garbage but might actually taste good, and might be vegan. crispy potatoes in spiced goop is usually good. the classic chinese night market fare is wolftooth potatoes (slightly underdone wavy cut fries) in spicy gravy and pickled green beans. since i absolutely love that garbage, I would eat this anglo garbage.

So many of the people who dunk on food just reveal themselves to have the palette of a baby.

First bite i had of aforementioned wolftooth taters i thought “this is not great, the potatoes are not even soft and the sauce tastes sour and weird” but a few bites in you start to love it for just that. people need to try weird shit once in a while, and try it twice if they don’t really like it first time around. aquired tastes have almost always become my favourites while simple things i enjoyed as a kid (ketchup, oven fries, etc) have taken their proper place as being just acceptable.

adult baby palates (people with sensory issues aside) feel like the food version of adults that only read harry potter

when i want to get that nicotine high but i also want my mouth and clothes to smell like burnt cat food

maybe i only had shit cigars because the only times i had them were when old dudes gave me cheap cigarillos playing pool.

i like burmese cheroots though, you can get them in yunnan for very cheap and they’re smooth and funky
