I wish more of Hollywood understood how much keeping things unsaid increases engagement with a story, by leaving room for imagination to take over.

The Average American Hero - sounds about right.

That symbol on his costume is identical to the Chinese character zhong [中] (central/middle), as in Zhongguo [中國] (central state/Middle Kingdom) - i.e. China. 

I wish you weren’t in the grays. This is more informative than the article itself. 

There’s something about beans that pairs so well with pork. There are endless iterations of this combination - cassoulet, chili con carne, the classic English fry-up, split pea soup with ham - uh - pork and beans. If you need to make your legumes more appealing, chances are you just need to add a little oink oink to…

Why not try to start a fresh trend instead?

Damn my eyes for reading this. 

OK, but does it run DCS?

This sounds just like fried shallots, which is a very common ingredient in Southeast Asian cuisines. You can buy them in Asian groceries pre-made in bags, or in jars packed with fat they were fried in. Chinese folks add them to light broths, stir-fried greens, meats braised in soy sauce, but the uses are endless.

Chances are her doctor put it in denatured alcohol, so she’s probably lucky she didn’t poison herself. But I guess that’s the level of intelligence we’re talking about here.

Five minutes was how long it took them to do it.

Stuff like that is why I don’t find Jamie Oliver credible as an authority on taste. Anything fried is good, odd bits doubly so. That reminds me of the best thing about carp. For people that like roe, carps have huge, huge sacs of roe. Delicious pan-fried, with no bones. If people only knew, there would be no invasive…

Well even the ones you get in Chinese places taste muddy to some degree, but that’s not the same as bad. Remediable by methods of preparation, and probably an acquired taste.

What about something like this:

Carp tastes fine. It’s widely used in Chinese cuisine. The bones are more of a problem, but you could make fish paste. Why Americans choose to poison them instead I’ll never understand.

Onion, garlic, chives etc. are really pretty, and you eat them all the time. 

Grant and Truman are among my favorite presidents, being partial to folks with middle initial Ss that stand for nothing.

Wheat gluten. You didn’t even know it was a food, did you?

as for the opening any of the following are acceptable: “hello” “hullo” “ahoy-hoy”
