Spoken like a true Frenchman.

I’m not going to get into the whole “real bagel” debate, but I will say that as someone who has worked in a bagelry and someone who lives in New York, I don’t think ANY sandwich should be served on a bagel, unless it’s open face.* Bagels are not good sandwich bread; they are too dense on the outside for good…

Wait, that’s what you take away from this article?

In the immortal words of Mark Knopfler, “You know it may be a game, but I won’t play to lose.”

Fair ‘nuf. 

It’s a good question. I’m not sure the Corvette brand was positioned for the “$150k luxury chariot for the rich” move, and Cadillac has always struggled to really compete there too. Tesla had the advantage of not being saddled with a lot of baggage, and obviously being treated more as a dotcom startup rather than a…

I wasn’t aware of that connection but thanks for pointing that out. I researched it here; https://www.autoweek.com/car-life/classic-cars/a35673804/tesla-before-it-was-tesla/

EV1 ended only a few years before Tesla started. The tech was there, it just needed to be developed. GM and Tesla did the same SWOT analysis, and they just came to different conclusions. One of them turned out to be right.

Tesla’s smartest move was not focusing on the environmental benefits or cost-savings that come from trading ICE for electric power, but instead focusing on the performance advantages and exclusivity. GM was never going to be able to make that leap because GM was never going to be performance or luxury in a really…

Criticizing the CRV for its looks just to rile rile up the faithful pitchfork wielding Jalops is weak. It’s the journalistic equivalent of being a playground bully.

Allrecipes review; “I love this recipe! I didn’t use a pickle though, instead I substituted a poblano pepper. Also, I swapped the peanut sauce out and used a chipotle aioli instead. Delicious!”

New York’s favorite Easter candy? Chocolate Cuomo bunnies!

I just want to chime in with a pet-peeve of mine; the idea that being a “tax-payer” has anything to do with one’s right to enjoy life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, or the use of public lands, facilities or services. This is language that actually makes the problem worse; the more people think that being a…

No because focaccia is just the type of bread. Focaccia can be topped with any number of ingredients, from a simple rosemary to something that starts to approach pizza, but that’s a whole ‘nother can of worms (which btw is not a good topping for either).

Garlic bread isn’t a bread, it’s a preparation of a bread. Typically, I suppose, on a baguette or ciabatta. Point is, it’s bread with something on it, not the bread itself.

I think this list has far too many white breads on it - a serious lack of darker breads and ethnic breads; white sandwich bread, yeast roll, Japanese milk bread, Hawaiian bread, Potato bread, Brioche, even Hallah, are all very similar breads.

I get that these are shelf stable and probably pretty easily portable for taking to work, so there’s a convenience factor, but I don’t know what this really achieves that a good vegetarian chili or similar dish wouldn’t. Seems like it would be easy enough to make a pots of chili on a sunday afternoon, put it in…

Why would anyone ask a seventh grader anything? They are literally at the worst time of their lives, knowing nothing and not even confident about what they don’t know - they are worse than the “wise fools” Sophomores they will become only a few years later.

Is a sausage sandwich, aka Italian sausage on a hoagie, not a sandwich? Is a hotdog not a kind of a sausage?

Except this wasn’t a jury trial, this was the DA dropping charges. And this wasn’t a plea deal - just dropped, no consequences to Chen.
