I genuinely wonder if no toasted spider in the beans will subtly affect the flavour of the coffee.I find it hard to believe there could be a sufficient number of spiders roosting in the roaster to make any difference, making the assumption its used on a daily basis.
aaaaand I've lost my taste for coffee now...
I hope Hanners captured the spiders, and released them outside.She did, just in time for the orbital strike. Dora wouldn't let her hit CoD from space.
I've spent several years living in a place where the distinct flavor of stew was given by a rotting horse in the water source, so I could believe that 1: the flavor is indeed changed and 2: not necessarily for the better.*endless internal screaming*

Elliott does fit into the body type that Hannelore finds attractive (large, muscular and heroic-seeming).
Fun fact: during the 1854 Broad Street cholera outbreak in London (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1854_Broad_Street_cholera_outbreak), several people who lived far from the poisoned well died from cholera and it turned out it was because they preferred the taste of the water from the cholera-tainted well. The source of the outbreak turned out to be from dirty diapers used by a baby that suffered from cholera.
So, uh, I guess the moral of the story is that if the most you have to worry about is spiders in your coffee, things aren't that bad? :psyduck:
Long-time residents of Pittsburgh complained that Iron City beer lost much of its flavor after the city cleaned up the rivers.Yeesh. Pretty sure I wouldn't want to drink anything made with water one could easily set on fire.
On the other hand the rivers are no longer health and fire hazards, so it may be a fair trade-off.

But it was tasty. And once you get it into a stew it's already boiled so not hazardous.Not quite as simple as that. Whilst boiling will kill off bacteria, it may not have any effect at all on toxic chemicals the bacteria have already produced.

I can't find anything about it (most results are for Whistlepig whiskey). Care to PM me the vineyard?
The delicious chemicals, you mean. :mrgreen:
I'm always amazed and impressed (sorry if I've posted this before) when I think about the first people who looked at mushrooms, or blue vein cheese, and thought to themselves "mannn, I bet that is delicious."

I remember someone saying that the person who ate the first oyster must have been SOME Hungry.
Extra Credits did a 5 part installment on the Broad Street Pump (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLpzHHbFrHY) for their 'Extra History' series.I studied Messrs. Snow and Whitehead in Maths!
Then I recommend not looking up the story behind why one wine company now seals a whole pig in their wine casks.In China there is 蛇酒 (shéjiǔ or "snake wine") which is a big bottle of baijiu (https://chinaculturecorner.com/2015/01/12/drink-baijiu-and-do-business-in-china/) with a dead snake in it. If your wallet (and stomach) can stand it, there is also snake-blood cocktail, where the bartender kills a live snake in front of you :-(, and mixes its blood with your drink. Nope, nope, nope...
CHRISTMAS IS COMING
:-D

I'm sorry Hanners, it's detritus and organic matter all the way down.
Turtles are organic matter, and they're bound to shed dead skin cells. So you're both right?I'm sorry Hanners, it's detritus and organic matter all the way down.
And here I thought that it was turtles all the way down.

That is how I feel about all animal products. Mushrooms look mighty tasty to me, but eating a corpse? How does that ever seem like a good idea?
It was a case of eat to survive or die.

Fair enough, but that exact same argument applies to nearly every thing humans eat, so I guess we have our answer to every iteration of "why did people first eat...?" It applies equally to corpses and mushrooms.
Plus it's not like we just started eating corpses and mushrooms as modern humans; our pre-human ancestors ate them too. There wasn't exactly a moment of "Hey, Caveman Bob found a dead thing, let's see if it's tasty!"

Obsessive-compulsive, neurotic, anxiety-ridden, surprisingly adorable.
Everythings here today. But there´s one thing more that should be added to the cast description:

My wife told me to take a spider out instead of killing it.
We went and had drinks. Pretty cool guy, wants to be a web designer.
Not to mention that humans are fairly smart and can learn what generally is and isn't safe to eat by observing not only other humans, but other animals.It was a case of eat to survive or die.

Although I do imagine there was some sort of natural selection in the process. Or the Jackass Effect came into play...

I don't see a difference between a dead human body and a dead body of any other animal. Dead is dead, a corpse is a corpse, meat is meat.
Dead is dead, a corpse is a corpse, meat is meat.
More to the point, plate glass windows are extremely expensive. Throw a customer through one and generate that big a bill and you're probably looking for a new job.
Dead is dead, a corpse is a corpse, meat is meat.A corpse is a corpse, of corpse, of corpse!
I would have thought that this was something Brun would have been well aware of working in the kind of Bar she was working in before it burnt down.
And no one can talk to a corpse, of corpse ...

I'm fairly certain that a quite a few bio-chemists and cooks will disagree with you on that. Especially when it comes to arthropods.
So being a bouncer isn't like it was in Roadhouse? I won't be having a very Patrick Swayze Christmas knowing that now.

"You have to be nice, until it's time to be not nice, and then you have to be nice again."Film company stuff again. The most important time to be nice is when, for example, you are physically assisting someone to leave the building. Because if you are nice, however socially compromised the ejectee may be, at least some of his/her companions may support or at least not oppose you. If you are nasty then the situation may deteriorate further. This is an ideal of course, but the nearer its approached the better for everyone.
"Making friends is confusing."Preach it, sistah! Preach it!

I'm talking, of course, about Robot Hand. :roll:
Damn. He must be really shy.
Either that or it's his shyness + Brun's stare (ᓀ_ᓂ), and he's trying not to hut her feelings.

I've punched through a window before, albeit a pretty thin pane.

I was pushed through an old window when I was 19. 37 stitches across my arm, shoulder and back and two days in hospital, though I do know how lucky I could have been considering it was a leadlight. There's no joke there...
She's singing a Sami folk song....
Not for the first time, I find myself wondering just who Fairy Girl might actually be! Maybe she's an actress advertising the local Dysknee Store (not to be confused with the Disney Store for copyright reasons)? Maybe she's an advanced synthetic who has been tasked with bring cheer into people's lives?
Meanwhile, Hannelore just keeps getting cuter in every strip. It's actually getting to be a problem for me. What do I do if I'm struck by a sudden need to hug my screen? :-P
She's singing a Sami folk song. In my head canon, anyway. The Sami people are the indigenous inhabitants of Lappland and cool with reindeer.
I have been to enough funerals in my time to not see the body as anything special. Once brain activity ceases, the person I love no longer exists. When I look at a corpse at a viewing, I don't get the emotive response that I am looking at the person, I just see an inanimate object.
You might be misunderstanding my position. My position isn't that human meat is okay to eat because other species meat is. My position is that it is all gross. Not immoral, in my opinion, just gross.
My question is is where the FRAK did she get a REINDEER in NORTHAMPTON???!!!!!
And yes Hanners, Emily will be jealous.

Nah, she's a fan of Metal Gear Solid 2
Who knows, maybe she's going to make some poronkäristys - a little lingonberry, some mashed potatoes. Tasty!It is, too! When stewing you also need generous amounts of pepper. Old recipes also call for beer to be used in place of water. My experience is that the hops/malt create a bit too bitter a taste to it and, uncharacteristically nowadays opt to not use beer.

I've only had it a couple of times, but the way it was prepared used a very dry white wine in place of water.

Taking this moment to cherish that Finland's (Sami's actually) contribution to world cuisine is a way to cook Dasher, Dancer and the gang (not forgetting Rudolph)
In fact, having some Mämmi after that over an Easter weekend made for quite a tasty experience.Since you asked so nicely...
I am kinda hardcore fan of mämmi, so I used to cook some myself annually around Easter. But, it is a lot of work and nowadays I usually just buy it:

Well, I don't know if it was meant to be, but it pretty much is yoiking (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSWIBRpN8T8).
And here's me chowing down on plain ol' Spaghetti on Toast.
...why would you put spaghetti on toast?

Spelled "joik", but pronounced "yoik". (Don't ask how "Y" is pronounced)

I know that the idea of taking a carb and serving it with another sounds weird, but it's one of those things you grow up with and never question until you're much older.
Brown sauce is gravy, right?
I'll be over here in the corner quietly munching on cream cheese and cucumber sandwiches.
I've put fries/chips on hamburgers/sandwiches, but a sandwich only made of fries/chips?For sure. crusty roll with butter, salt and vinegar on the chips.
We've already seen Hanner's twin... She's unlikely to be hanging around with reindeer. Unless she was leaving the head of one in someone's bed.....???

I'm assuming modern Italian doesn't have the letter, continuing the tradition of the Latin language?AIUI theoretically modern Italian lacks J, K, W, X and Y. In practice I think there are plenty of loan words with them in, and I believe computer keyboards in Italy include them.
It's also why Jesus's cross had INRI. The Is stood for Jesus and Jews.
Saturday morning, go to a local bakery, get a freshly baked demi-baguette. Then its down to a nearby butcher for get some bacon or on-site made sausages.
Go home, cook up the sausage or bacon and have it in the demi-baguette, now that's comfort food.
