The Food Discussion Thread I

Mm, I had salmon last night. But, I gotta say, forks go through salmon quicker than a hot knife through butter. It’s crazy how much gravity salmon on a fork has.

For your lobster argument...no. They’re both arthropods, but arthropods are, like, the largest phylum of animals. Plus, lobsters aren’t venomous, and they’re not as high as the Dropbear tier on the Australian danger list.

They’re also quite delicious, and lobster rolls are divine.

The flesh is soft indeed

A good salmon steak is excellent though. Especially if you add a good amount of salt.

Many of the fish we eat however eat other fish. Tuna and salmon both eat other fish

Tuna and salmon: two of my favourite fish.

I love salmon in something simple, like baked with lemon and thyme and served with potatoes and asparagus.

I like puffer fish,one of my favorite fish.It impressed me. At my cousin's wedding, there were three different dishes made with puffer fish.Its skin has a lot of small spines, and it doesn't feel comfortable when eat.

No great whites near Scandinavia.

Besides, experience shows that Vikings don't wrestle sharks. We turn them into horrible food.

Dammit Another kind of stink bomb from northern Europe

You understand now why we had to conquer all of you guys for your spices.

I never understood this. The Netherlands is full of Dunes.

[Infected Mushroom]

I’ve just realized I haven’t eaten a nice roast ham with potatoes for a long time. I’m starting to salivate for the taste...

[Katganistan]

Including the Vikings from the north?

And here I thought lutefisk was an aberration.

Never had that

How is it?

[Infected Mushroom]

Do you guys say “soda,” “soft drink,” “pop,” “fizzy pop,” or “pop soda?”

I lean towards saying soda

Frisdrank.

I guess I would say soft drink when speaking English.

Honestly, I don't know. They lose me at "salt cod pickled in lye" and "gelatinous."

[Katganistan]

Soda.

[Nevertopia]

i say soda, but the farther east you go in my country the more likely people will say pop instead.

[Glenbrook]

I say soda, but the more south you get I think you say coke

[Thepeopl]

Fris.
I think it's a corruption of fizz.
Lit. Translation would be chilly or fresh.

So, Blaat says: chillydrink. And I say Chilly. Or if you follow the English language:
Fizzy drink, and I, Fizzy.

Honestly, I don't know. They lose me at "salt cod pickled in lye" and "gelatinous."

The only redeeming quality it has, is that it doesn't go bad.

Which is another way of saying that not even bacteria will eat it.

Is that a good thing?

[Minskiev]

Well, for honey, yes. For fermented and dried shark, probably not.

Personally, I say soda, and I understand soft drink or fizzy drink. Coke is a little weird, since not all sodas are Cokes, but Pop? I know those Midwest weirdos call it it pop, but why? It doesn’t pop. It’s a liquid.

How about sandwiches? Is it sub, hero, hoagie, or other?

It is if you're on a long sea voyage, and don't want to worry about your food going off. Which is what lutefisk is for.

Under all other circumstances, no.

Which explains why the Norse colonies in North America didn't prosper. They got settled and started making a batch of lutefisk for the journey back to collect more settlers and the Native Americans slaughtered them. It took a hundred years to get the smell out of Newfoundland.

[Aclion]

Important to remember that bacteria eat in significantly different ways from us, so just because they can't eat something doesn't mean it's bad for us.
For example cheese is more resistant to spoilage then milk because it has a lower moisture content, and bacteria, unlike us, can't pair it with wine.

[La Xinga]

Indeed. That is why I upgraded the amount needed for a new poll where one option is allowed to be picked per nation from 60 to 70.

I like how we’re establishing Presence

105 votes in...2 days?! Only 4 options, and most of them are not checked by every player.

That’s pretty astonishing

Congratulations
