But I *neeeeeed* to have locally sourced oranges in Nunavut!

The US has a shitty food culture in general.

I was that odd kid without a sweet tooth - but I could absolutely slaughter a bag of salt and vinegar potato chips! It makes being diabetic a hell of a lot easier, I don't have to do the whole I gotta have dessert with every meal thing that is what can get you in trouble. In our family, dessert was for highly special…

Hell, my best friends son Alan was raised from carseat on the bench and waving around a chicken foot at the local Chinese place to adulthood. He would try anything once, and I can remember seeing him gleefully going around mooching fish eyes from other diners.

I have a picture of the first brick of tofu I ever made =)

How nice. I also guarantee that if our lily white Christian asses were currently in Syria ISIS would cheerfully kill us without a second thought. [Same goes if we were black, brown or yellow. If you are not ISIS, or willing to instantly convert you are dead. Hells bells, they are willing to kill other muslims if they…

There were actually a fair amount of sites online that had decent info, but some of them lacked updating after the planetary goodies came out. I suppose that someone should consider scrounging them up and updating. Eve University has some interesting resources.

I agree, though you can just sit in high sec space and run missions [quests in normal game terms] that gets pretty damned boring. One of the things I always liked about EO was the ability to get into a newbie frigate and see how fast and far you can make it into low security space before getting ganked. Though back…

LOL minecraft work ... try EVE Online if you want work. I used to help build capital and supercap ships, I introduced my corp to Dropbox and excel spreadsheets.... but that is what you get when you have an accountant playing a sandbox game like EVE Online where you can have a manufacturing corporation in a game.

Done it for years - though I never removed anything. All I use my phone for is calls and ebooks. In a pinch I will use it for a GPS if I am going somewhere I have never been previously, and when on a road trip I used the browser to find a hotel and restaurants when in strange places [not that Iowa isn't nice, mind…

Probably. A black silkie tastes the same as a white skinned Rhodes Island Red. Though for eating, a nice plump free ranged White Hall Cross can't be beat. Nice solid meat, good flavor - not fluffy and bland like battery chicken that has been raised in a restricted area and fed nothing but grain mash. And eggs laid the…

Because you buy it and they kill it for you there in the market, typically. At a restaurant you have to take the cooks word for it [and it probably isn't a black dog. At least with a black chicken you can see the color for yourself!] Actually silkies are fairly cute chickens, too.

LOL.

Thanks =) I was raised to eat anything I am not actually allergic to to be polite.

I like Ivan Day's blog for pictures of Georgian through Edwardian foods, and Lost Past Remembered does all sorts of different era foods, she takes a good picture as well.

I was served dog [stringy, like cheap pork. Greasy, like lamb. Too much garlic and chili for my taste.] The Koreans who did it waited until I was done with my portion and then told me it was dog. I shrugged and asked for more [best way to deflate a prankster is to ignore the prank.] And back when I first moved to…

I am broke ass myself - however as an option may I point out that Amazon has *groceries* and other online shopping opportunities that sell food ... back when I was working and had the money to spare I shipped someone a whole smithfield ham and a 10 pound bag each of [heirloom] jasmine rice and great northern beans.

LOL a ferret ball pit!

Rob is good about letting me know what will be happy together. Heck, he got a date palm to grow from a pit he spit out ... I can just about manage a good mold culture on a forgotten sandwich!

Not a problem for me - I have all sorts of recipes that I can make, I prefer to know people can actually eat in comfort at my house. After being fed mushrooms and taking a festive ambulance ride just so someone could prove I wasn't allergic to mushrooms cemented the need to deal with food issues in an upfront manner.
