Altered maps VIII: World borders just got garbage-dayed

[sophie]

What good food does America have?

 

[W|M]

A very scientific statement with plenty of examples.

Something about pork sausage that has been cooked for all of 20 seconds doesn't sound appetizing.

I don't see scientific examples of American goodness. And it's steak that's cooked for 20 seconds, not pork sausage.

Can someone explain what on earth that revolting-looking thing is in Owen's photo?

 

[Karalysia]

Corndog and funnel cake with powdered sugar on them. Its better than it looks.

 

[ZeletDude]

Actually I think that is a deep fried twinkie?

 

[amadeus]

I know it is 禁止されていて, verboten, and prohibited, but I need to post this game "result" (I'm not done yet) for Godwynn.

I defeated humiliated Austria to 9th place and SOI'd them, took Baden, Bavaria and Wurttemberg and then quickly defeated France and decimated their army. While Austria was annexed, I released Lombardia, Venice, Croatia, Hungary, and parts of the Ukraine (the Italian and Slavic untermensch have low literacy and thus negatively impact my research score.)

So there you go, Godwynn.

 

[Dachs]

Shoulda kept Venice, Slovenia, and Croatia, or at the very least Slovenia

Learn more about the Deutscher Bund pls plz plx pl0x

So what, you want me to turn Alsace-Lorraine back over to the French? How can I be expected to take such nonsense seriously?

Never said that, otherwise I'd harass you about westpreußen too

however there are good Germans that need liberating in Laibach and Triest

also Venice is pretty rich and fun to control

Spoiler :

Red: communists

Light red: will probably be absorbed by communists

Blood red: provinces of the Republic of China under rebel control

Light brown: ease up on the cheap cologne, buddy. If you can buy it in 64oz jugs, you're probably not getting the best stuff

Dark brown: a bunch of Peronist weirdos or something

Yellow: malaria -- don't touch

Light green: free labor, just pay S&H

Dark green: crazy Moslems

Teal: less crazy Moslems

Light blue: Americans living in denial

Blue: freedom, prosperity and good food

Pink: socialist welfare bums

Dark purple: future socialist welfare bums

Black: ANC communist terrorism

Grey: who the hell cares

My god. That is possibly THE nicest thing you have said about Poland!

Also, I agree with Dachs. Atleast get Marburg back.

The explanation is just as baffling as the photo. What's actually in it?

 

[sophie]

Actually I think that is a deep fried twinkie?

Correct.

The swirlie thingie is deep fried dough covered in powdered sugar, usually also has whipped cream and (occasionally fruit, such as strawberries or apples)

The other one is a deep fried twinkie...need I say more?

Both carnival staples.

 

[Mango Elephant]

Yeah, you don't eat that kinda of stuff every day, just once a year at the state fair (which is coming up!).

They're both really good, actually.

 

[Arakhor]

Oh, it's junk food. Bill Bryson said that the USA is the unparalleled master of producing sickly, fatty, zero-nutrition foods that actually don't taste too bad.

 

[sophie]

that actually don't taste too bad.

Too bad? or bloody delicious!

 

[Arakhor]

I'm sure they have nothing on Kendal mint cake, Eccles cake or the splendid Chelsea buns

 

[ZeletDude]

Funnel cakes are wonderful never had a deep fried twinkie though..

 

[Heretic_Cata]

There's meat in Brazil that's simply grilled for 10 seconds on each side, and served - If it were any more raw, you would get salmonella if you ate it!

Prolly not the intention, but this convinced me not to eat brazilian food ever.

Well, for most products, or beef at least, just searing the outside usually sufficient to kill teh dangerous bacteria. I personally find it disgusting, though.

Chicken I would be more worried with.

 

[Karalysia]

Have you never had sushi?
