Random Raves 49: Cats Can Have Little a Salami

[Farm Boy]

That sounds vaguely nauseating.

We'll have to see. Chicken and waffles sounded good too.

 

[Takhisis]

That makes the most sense to me, it's something that didn't translate well originally because I don't have that background like you say Thank you kindly for breaking things down, I have an idea now why some British people would feel negatively if that's what "posh" means.

Look, in both cases the racial thing is an explanation made up on the spot for ‘why are we conquering these people and taking away their wealth’, whether it be Ireland (Catholics must be punished, since the 16th century, and before that it was because the one English Pope in history had neutrally sanctified the Norman English conquest of Ireland) or Scotland, or Africa, or various Native Americans and Mexicans, or so on. As well as keeping one's own race under control

It always boils down to some sort of ‘we deserve it/they deserve it’, like General Lee stating that he fought for the Confederation because slavery bettered Negroes' lives and brought them culture and civilisation, even if it was illegal (and enforced!) for said Negroes to learn how to read and write.

@MaryKB is absolutely and objectively correct in this. The only permissible addition would be some butter.

PoE stands for Pillars of Eternity.

My contribution is that the style of pancake sold in most restaurants and diners is bad. The thickness can't be redeemed by any amount of syrup. Dutch/crepe pancakes are superior in all ways.

Indeed. Pancakes ought to be about 5 millimetres thick unless you were baking the topping into them as is good and proper.

Oh my. In my search for things to taunt Bird with, I'm going to have to consider a goodness I never considered but just stumbled across. Sauerkraut pancakes!

Pancakes go well with a quite wide assortment of savoury toppings so I definitely think I'll try this.

It is good, what are you on about?

@Takhisis Pancakes should be between 5-10 mm thick, anything thinner is unacceptable as a pancake and is just some frilly pastry pretending to be something of substance

 

[Farm Boy]

They may have been bad chicken and waffles.

I like sweet and savory. But, much as I can handle a peanut butter/cheese/marshmallow sandwich, I can't quite swing full syrup on fried chicken.

 

[cardgame]

you put syrupt!

onn chicken! no! that's not how it works, that's not how any of this works

 

[Farm Boy]

Well, then what's the point?

I didn't make it, I think it was IHOP. The chicken is on the plate, the syrup and waffles are right there...

I mean, you can dip fried chicken in ranch, you can dip it in cheese, you can dip it in coffee, you can dip it in gravy, you can dip it in potatoes, why wouldn't you try dipping it in the syrup that came with it it. Did they serve me some sort of abomination combination?

 

[Synobun]

Syrup on chicken doesn't seem any more egregious than some of the more flavourful sauces you can get on wings these days.

I like wings plain or with a honey garlic glaze. I could do without BBQ, sweet/sour, etc.

 

[Farm Boy]

Hear hear.

Actually the very thin ones can be used to make lasagna. As well as crêpes being awesome in their own right, but not being pancakes.

 

[cardgame]

The waffles should be sweet enough without syrup and give you a perfect 50/50 between sweet waffle and savory chicken, for that sweet/savory combo, instead of 95% sweet and overpowering and gross

 

[MaryKB]

Maple syup goes with everything.

It's OK, he's Belgian so he knows better about the various fruits of the pan.

So, like, you rip the waffle in half and use it as a bun?

Do we butter the waffle before tearing it or after?

Ooooohh. Or do we spread the butter on the chicken? The whipped kind would probably be easier.

 

[cardgame]

I don't know tbh, it's been too long since I had it. I just know that there is no syrup involved.

 

[Takhisis]

I need a waffle-making device.

 

[Farm Boy]

Well, I was grievously mislead then. I may try again sometime with no syrup on the fried chicken. Was ick that way.

I need a waffle-making device.

I've been putting it off. There's the temptation to fill every square half full with butter, the rest of the way with tree guts, and then eat more than one.

When you put it that way I really don't see why you are putting it off...

 

[Farm Boy]

Gotta leave at least the pretense of room for the other vices.

Perfect and no reason to add chicken at all.

I decided to set regular phone alarms to remind me to take antibiotics at the right time each day. As I easily lose track of time, I'm surprised by how well it's worked so far.
