I’ve often wondered if it came about because the crown prince of France was called “the Dauphin” (which is the Old French for “dolphin”), and his heraldic badge was a dolphin. But in heraldic art, a “dolphin” does not look like a naturalistic drawing of the marine mammal. It has scales like a fish and it is often (in…
(While this both has little chance of making it out of the greys, and also comes late and thus would be read by few people, I feel compelled to post out of a sense of completion.)
OMG I can order both flavors by Walkers Crisps through Amazon...
You bet they do. Ships in the U.S., anyway. You have to order by the case... but IIRC, you can mix and match flavors? So say you want a case of “family size” bags of chips — you have to order 9 bags, but you can order 3 of this flavor and 6 of that flavor, and so on.
Hmmmm. I wonder if Snyders was the brand I was trying to remember upthread, which used to make a Steak flavored chip that was the best thing I ever tasted, but could never find again.
(Off to see if one can order these through the Herrs website...)
WHY LIMITED EDITION WHYYYYYYYYYYY
Oh god. I want both Prawn Flavored and Roast Chicken chips to be sold in the U.S. SO BAD.
Huh. You are reminding me that at some point, somewhere, I have tried “chicken and thyme” flavored chips, that were super good. But now I don’t remember where I got them. Could’ve been the U.K. (I must have forgotten them in order to protect my mind from the disappointment of not being able to get them in the U.S.)
Herrs Chips in the Philadelphia area makes a “Baby-Back Ribs BBQ” chip, that is amazing. But I don’t really include it in the “great meat-tasting chips” category, because honestly, it’s just a really, really on-point rendition of BBQ sauce, to the Nth degree better than any other BBQ-flavored chip I have ever had.
That sounds awesome, I would try that immediately.
He’s right, it just isn’t that popular. It’s a damned shame. I would kill for Worcestershire chips.
In terms of “a bike designed for those who can’t ride a bike”, the obvious answer is an adult tricycle. Just plug those words into Google or Amazon.
My best Friendly’s memory is the time a whole bunch of us went for dinner (I think it was after a movie), and as we’re going around the table ordering, one of my friends (mid-20s male) just looks up from the menu and says “You know what? I want a large deluxe sundae.” That was it, that was his dinner. It came out with…
I just got done reading a long website post about the search for a family of 4 German tourists who disappeared on the west edge of Death Valley NP in 1996.
The description of the second dish is carpaccio, which was invented in Venice, Italy.
I have to admit, I haven’t seen a Tatum movie, except for Jupiter Ascending (which is totally batshit and I found it very enjoyable, but I’d never write home about anyone’s performance in it; except Eddie Redmayne’s, purely to marvel at that level of scenery chewing). So I had kind of been dismissing him as “that…
I went through a form of that. When I was in college, if you were on financial aid, as I was, and got work-study jobs, the rule was that as a freshman, you had to work dining services. As an upperclassperson you could get some other kind of job, like (at the time) running the slide projectors for art-history classes,…
Honestly... I didn’t want to be “that guy” making excuses for horrible customers, and I know very well that there are sometimes people who are just THAT AWFUL. But I read that anecdote and thought to myself... it kind of sounds like there is something involuntary maybe going on there with Caramel Lady. Maybe. Maybe…
I get that, and I agree it’s counter-intuitive. But multiple sources seem to agreed that Man o’ War was sometimes held back when a race was substantially won.
