And “Texan” is not quite the same as “Quebecois” they’re more like...hm. Cajun or Creole, I think, would be a more direct comparison than any state-based one.

Chili is also easily traceable to one specific group of Americans. :P Depending on who you believe it was made by coowboys in Texas, prisoners in Texas, or DeWitt Clinton Pendery. There are a number of other origin stories argued about,but literally every one of them takes place in Texas (except for one about a nun…

Cincinnati chili is really bad if you think it is attempting to be chili. It does TASTE good though! It’s a very finely ground meat, more the texture of American bolognese sauce, slightly sweet and has a good bit of cinnamon in it. If you are expecting a Texas chili, you will be very disappointed when you take your…

As in my reply to KateFromIowa, the places it is eaten is not what I am getting at. Just as poutine is eaten all over Canada, but Quebec still feels a claim of ownership for it, so do I for chili.

And people eat poutine all over Canada. Chili gets eaten all over the states, but the origin is a point of pride for Texas, and to us is inherent in its identity. To us it is not an American dish, it is a Texas dish. I am not saying that this is correct taxonomy from a food classification perspective, but, it is what…

Orangette is (are?) awesome! Thank you for spreading the gospel!

I was thinking this way too until I put myself in their position with something I personally care about. If someone from Europe called Chili an “American food” I would 10000% say “Nah man, it’s a TEXAS food.”

You could then spend your time making Youtube videos showing off all of your awesome cars and houses, while telling people that they just need to keep working hard at their shitty retail job.

If you hadn’t spent so much money on lunches (which I assume were all avocado toast), you could have afforded a new iPhone, which you should not have bought, then you would have enough for a house right now!

He called her a “Trump Voter”?

This makes me so sad. I actually like some Ed Sheeran songs, but Shape of You is just.. The Worst. I could not escape it this summer, and I just cannot fathom how anyone could like it.

35 grinds for half a teaspoon?!? You have GOTTA get a Unicorn Magnum! It may sound like a disturbing sex toy, but it is actually the best pepper grinder ever made. It shoots out more, perfectly ground (variable size) pepper than anything else that I have used. It’s incredible.

It has nothing to do with them being fans. New Yorkers are the worst people, and thus, New Yorkers who are fans will also be the worst fans by virtue of their inherent terribleness.

Hope you are ready for a drastic increase is fatalities and health care expenses. In 2013 (latest year I can find NHTSA numbers for), motorcycles accounted for approximately 20x more fatalities per mile traveled. Motorcycles were 22.92 fatalities per 100 mil vehicle miles traveled, compared to 1.09 fatalities per 100…

I dunno man... I may have to test this out this weekend. Given the lower moisture content, I would still be inclined to not cook the cakies well done.

I wasn’t satisfied until 13 minutes and a clean toothpick

Sure. This absolutely happens. But the people making that additional content in tandem with the base game are paid with money budgeted for that purpose. If they were not making that additional content, they would be making nothing at all, because the budget would not have been increased to pay for it.

You seem to have this image of good guy devs, slaving away, and then the cackling publisher swoops down moments before the master gets printed, stealing chunks of the game and ransoming it as DLC.

How much money did Big Avocado Oil pay you for this article?!?!
