The related questions there are mostly pretty reasonable, but someone asked "What is the difference between peanut butter and jam?" and another "What are the differences between whipped cream and cream cheese?" :stare:

Following the links results in more great questions:

When someone mentions a "peanut butter sandwich" do they really mean a peanut butter and jelly sandwich?

The yellow color in butter comes from beta-carotene that varies in amount based on what the cow eats, so you can find both white and gold yellow at most supermarkets. Alternatively the color balance is off in the photo.

I feel like eating fish with a lot of small bones is a differentiator between west and east. I had some freshwater eel(?) noodles in China once where the eel was chopped up with the bones still in, and it was all mixed together in a sort of slurry. The actual noodles themselves were great but I definitely don't like having a mouthful of bones in every bite? It's common in China to steam a freshwater fish like carp and then pick it apart, but you have to constantly spit out small bones with every bite. This really turns me off, but billions of Chinese people seem to have no issue with it?

Somehow yeah, it seems to be just an Australian thing. Seems like something kids would make themselves in American trailer parks to me.

Also aww, you call them "lollies"

I like to bake a fresh-caught trout or freshwater bass in a salt dome. No scaling or skinning required, just gut them and remove the gills, stuff the body cavity with some aromatics, bed them down on a baking pan covered in a half-inch of salt and lid it with a couple more pounds of slightly moistened salt. Thirty minutes or so at 450 degrees, the skin slides right off and the fish is delicious.

If you made the mistake of scaling and skinning it first, enjoy your salt lick.


Nothing AFP about two eggs easy over with nice runny yolks and a slab of fried ham. Only thing off about it is the beans.

Goddamn I want some breakfast now.

I was in a real life security training once that was being given by a very serious roided out Aussie dude with wraparound shades and a crew cut (the official uniform of PMCs/Security Pros who take themselves way too seriously) and he got furious at us because we kept laughing as he described his work with the Australian police fighting "bikie gangs". Seriously; Bikie gangs. It sounds like a bunch of lil 5 year olds riding big wheels around shootin' stuff with Nerf guns.

They've put way too much butter, and the bread's not supposed to be toasted. Also, not nearly enough hundreds-and-thousands and they didn't cut it into triangles. Those aren't even the right sort of hundreds-and-thousands. You're supposed to use the round ones. Utter failure in every respect.

It looks like your roommate is either an idiot, either he was making a fool of you. French use both knives or spoons to spread things on bread depending on the product and what's available. Spoons are OK for jam and knifes are definitely better for something as sticky as nutella.

She was very convinced that you needed to dirty two utensils to make nutella on toast: one to spread and one to cut it in half. 5 people in the house meant there was never a clean tiny spoon.
