I agree about dress codes loosely but also acknowledge that if I go into a place of worship (even as a None who is a total heathen), I do respect the dress code out of respect for the place. That does not mean I go to religious places a lot.  But if a friend is getting married in a Muslim ceremony and everyone will be…

I’ve had real scrapple and I’ll say that it’s pretty good as long as you don’t think about what it’s made of. 

Hey I’ve had scrapple and it’s pretty good as long as you don’t think about what it’s made of.

My entire mom’s side is full Portuguese, mainland Portugal is full of very conservative and heavy drinking people. It's somehow become the Texas of the Iberian peninsula.

Scrapple. Chitlins. Ambrosia salad. Shots of wheat grass. Ham hocks. Rocky Mountain oysters. Caviar. Plenty of “gross” stuff that white people in various regions eat all the time, no need to add a layer of “ewww and it’s foreign!” to the bit.

“Gross” is in quotes because I’ve had a few of those and they’re perfectly…

“Jello" and "salad" are two words that do not belong together. 

Palau, Tuvalu and Nauru all have populations an order of magnitude smaller than Iceland, so it’s probably OK to call their food gross as well.

If he really wants those clicks and views, make Bud Light the punishment for one of the episodes.

Some of those weird jello dishes from the 60s.

If he wants to avoid controversy, he is English. He could offer a cold cut sandwich that's been sitting in the window of a shop for two days. Or spaghetti with marinara sauce that somehow contains vinegar but no salt. Or Carling. 

If he attempts to have corned beef with boiled cabbage and potatoes in the segment, there’s a 100% chance that the collective atmosphere nausea and despair will end the segment permanently. 

Murph! Sully! Fitz! Get Jimmy C and the rest of the Northeast Catholics who are now instantly enraged!

Plenty of disgusting white people food to pick from, and he didn’t even have to go American. For example, he could have used Hakarl, which is fermented shark meat that smells like dog piss. Can you imagine Icelandic people getting enough steam on social media to change that? No.

Lutefisk, it’s kinda Americanized in the Midwest at least.

Or Irish-American food?

Beer cheese and green bean casserole.

He can move to disgusting Western food. How about that Sardinian cheese with live maggots? Or Irish-American food?

Yep, and there’s a range in the Eileen Fisher—the natural fibres are just plain better quality than the viscose. So if you find linen or silk or wool, with a little care it’ll last.

That’s a good tip. There’s a tiny EF outlet not terribly far away but even there the prices are a little steep. I’ve found that I need to pay extra attention to caring for the knits because the elegant drape can easily turn into plain ol’ baggy if I treat them poorly. 

May I also add: actual Eileen Fisher is very available in second-hand stores and sites. I have amassed a small, happy core of the real deal.  Feels like pyjamas, looks like luxury (maybe the same thing).
