Probably. I mean, ambrosia fruit salad exists.

Now THAT is a great story. This should be out of the greys.

I don’t live in France or a French speaking area, so that might have been a bit confusing. To clarify— I would definitely eat tartare at a well-respected French restaurant in France.

I would like to nominate Shaolin vs. Evil Dead. Both batshit parts.

Understandable, but we are now all the poorer for her sensible decision making skills.

Technically paleodumbass’ story included both elements, just off-stage.

Beef tartare is the one local food I can’t wrap my head around here, but partially that’s because I’m skeptical of Slavic treatments of meat, in general.

Steak tartare is a thing. A gross gross thing. But it exists. And people love it here in Central Europe. Go figure.

I am sorry for your poor mother. But because I am in a foul mood (syllabus creation is the worst), I am also consumed with the desire to hear her stories about them.

Of course the founder came from Stanford/Carnegie Mellon.

What the fuck was the mochta dude even trying to order? A mocha? A mojito? Mock turtle soup? I’m totally lost here (not by the server’s story, but just what the hell is this dude trying to get at an amusement park)?

Paleo is the absolute worst diet fad of the last 30 years and the amount cult-thinking and junk science used to prop it up is absolutely staggering. And I say that having had conversations with “breatharians” who come off as way more logical and amenable to reason than the paleo fanatics*.

This is the Moral Majority in action, folks.

This is nice and all, but I wish they’d do more insane weird Lovecraftian space god/occult stuff like the Jack Kirby used to write. I want to read about weirdo sentient energy beings battling implacable natural forces instead of super-powered Mary Sues and teenage wish-fulfillment.

I just thought it was darkly funny given the insane entitled assholery that the American Taliban has been waging for the last few months.

“What are they going to, cause a scene?”

It’s really cute when Americans think they know about totalitarianism. People don’t even joke about that shit here in the former Warsaw Pact because everyone knows someone of who was born in the 60s or 70s who got beaten or harassed or imprisoned.

I haven’t been to a Portillo’s in about 4 or 5 years but from the stories I heard during my decade+ in Chicago, I doubt it. But good on you for surviving it and fuck his bullshit.

Portillo’s?

Please don’t. Give them life skills before you send them abroad.
