Have Dale and Marigold had any interactions more than one page long?

Longest I can recall was #2356 through #2358.

I work at Nando's, so I am (probably not) contractually obliged to vote for Pitas. Because seriously, pitas are amazing.
Close second place goes to Crumpets though, which can be equally as awesome, but in fewer ways (melted butter).

I know, this seems kind of forced, but I'm okay with it. Maybe we'll actually get to see Dale's eyes for a change. Cause we haven't seen them since... I think since he was reprimanding Dora for not telling Marten about the Secret Menu. Someone with superior archive-fu please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

I guess pork scratchings would be the more common opposite of beef jerky in the UK... although biltong is becoming increasingly common here too.

Does this mean that in a way Momo is shipping Dale and Marigold?

She is shipping them both with a healthy diet.

Shipping? Or gunboat diplomacy?

Oh Momo, little thunder goddess, zap some sense enough to eat actual vegetables on them!

Don't make Momo angry. You wouldn't like her when she's angry.

Vegetables? Marten at least knows how to set realistic goals for himself.

I'm kind of surprised nobody has complained about Momo being a busybody. I like her too and she's acting for their good without benefit to herself, but she's in real buttinsky territory.

quix0te · « **Reply #57 on:** 08 Jul 2013, 09:29 »

Well, I might actually enjoy this arc. I rather like Marigold and Dale. As a bonus, pretty much any time Marten is on screen, he's going to be abused, so if this is a chance for him to take a hiatus from Demiurgos/Jeph, good for him. Perhaps Marigold/Hanners/Dora subplots will become so successful Marten will be allowed to sneak under the concertina wire and escape to self actualization in California.
On an unrelated note, actually had a friend who was diagnosed with scurvy. Twice. He had a diet more or less on par with Marigolds (pizza and burgers).

You don't say that to or about a woman with that level of voltage at her command.

Zebediah · « **Reply #59 on:** 08 Jul 2013, 10:15 »

Besides, I've offered up the opinion before that this is exactly why Momo was paired with Marigold in the first place. Who's going to look out for Marigold if Momo doesn't? Marigold certainly can't do it herself, at least not yet.

Sidhekin · « **Reply #60 on:** 08 Jul 2013, 10:20 »

Marigold, fair enough. Momo's her companion.

But Dale????? I don't think her social protocol covers ordering him about.

Perhaps Momo's going for the "companions in woe" angle?

Is beef jerky something very specific to the US? [...] What do the other Europeans say? Have you ever eaten it/ seen it in a shop in Europe?

I've seen it in supermarkets in the UK. However, that's only been in the last couple of years or so.

Sidhekin, I think that she's trying to surruptitiously matchmake as well as act as a parent.

vforvancouver · « **Reply #62 on:** 08 Jul 2013, 11:07 »

In Mexico we have a certain comfort food which is very similar to beef jerky, named cecina. There are a lot of varieties, and you can even find it in a lot of convenience stores all around the country. You eat it with lemon and hot sauce, and it usually is thinner and drier than US and Canadian jerky.

I miss buffalo jerky. I used to eat it as a snack in Vancouver.

Just like lactose free ice cream or anything sugar free - passable, but the second it hits your tongue you know there’s something very... off about it.

Not always - the lactose free chocolate yogurt and milkshakes you can get in the UK are delicious. I don't have a lot of sugar free stuff because the sweeteners are just as bad/worse, so can't comment there. I've discovered recently that I can't really digest fat and sugar very well, so that makes my diet interesting...

Momo is definitely attempting to force them to interact. I'm not sure she's hoping for a date situation, just a conversation.

Buffalo meat or buffalo sauce? Two very different things that require specifying.

In this case buffalo meat, but honestly? I love both.

Clearly Momo considers beef jerky revolting. At least that's her current attitude. Something must explain her resistance, and why she was so amped up about it.

Interesting that her social protocol database suggested a diner. Cooking at home would be cheaper, and Momo presumably can invite guests over on her own authority.

St.Clair · « **Reply #72 on:** 08 Jul 2013, 16:04 »

A diner is a neutral space. Marigold (and Momo)'s home is not.

Presumably that would require shopping for ingredients. Can you imagine what Marigold's kitchen cupboards are like?

Your jokes have the potential to spark a joule of puns that could last faraday or two.

Currently Momo needs a voltage regulator on her temper. Perhaps she could perform a relaxing "Ohm" chant.

Momo offered to start cooking almost as soon as she got her current chassis. It's possible that there are healthy food precursors in stock at Marigold's, even assuming she and Angus don't share food shopping.

Momo even tried to help with food preparation in her old chassis.

I couldn't possibly include every type of bread, so I just wrote off of the top of my head, stopped when I hit 12, and added a catchall. The difference between wheat and whole wheat is whether there's intact grain in it or if it's been pulverized.

Everything gluten free I've had was good. Apples in particular. Seriously though, the gluten free pizza I had once was delicious, and I haven't had a bad experience.

Jerky is something that every country has had at some point, being lean, marinated, and dried meat, resistant to spoiling which is all kinds of useful when you keep losing neighbors to salmonella. If you've had dried meat, you've likely had jerky, whether or not you called it that.

As for Dale and Marigold, Momo is likely not shipping them, yet. I'm pretty positive. I'm not surprised they're going along with her demands though, that arcing looks like it Hertz.

She lives with another human, who presumably consumes a larger variety of food.

Going back to jerky, I had bacon jerky recently. It was basically just, well...overpriced non-crispy bacon. It was still kind of good, because it was still bacon, but...non-crispy.
