"Here's our guest, and they've died" is potentially funny the first time you see it, and because they had a different audience each time who'd never seen it before, they got the false impression that it was really funny and not tedious. Repeat for every tepid running gag

Dear diary, today I

I've just been asked to make a comic page about Camille Jenatzy for a local festival here in Brussels.

This engineer/entrepreneur/fils à papa/lunatic broke the 100 k speed record for the first time in his electric "la jamais contente".

Anyway, I thought an image of a massive electric suppository on wheels was fitting for this thread:

It's not hard to get good food, I just don't get that "well gently caress it, it cost a dollar" mentality. Like you don't have to eat lovely deep fried garbage in the States any more than you have to eat bland, textureless poo poo in England. It's a conscious decision to do either. :shrug:

I get what you're saying but on the other hand I literally don't get a hard on over constantly eating good food and just eat cheap as gently caress. I usually try to eat a few good meals every week but my lunch most days usually is whatever bread I can find cheapest and deli meat that is on sale that week.

I get what you're saying though, I know some people who will be getting fast food almost every day of the week and I really don't understand that.

You may be on to something as this is certainly true in our house, we have some form of roasted animal at least 3 times a week because that's the only thing I know how to cook really well.

E: try pork fillet Theophany, it's coming back in vogue so easy to find, dirt cheap, and delicious.

I will, I've been going through pork chops like mad recently - quick sear and 90 mins in the oven at like 100 degrees and they're tender as you like. My local butcher is selling tenderloins at something like £10 a kilo so very reasonable too!

The UK also has curry and kebabs on every corner, so if you're drunk and hungry you're not suck with mcdonalds.

And if there's one thing brits know how to do, it's being drunk and hungry.

My girlfriend is Iranian, so when I come home I get the familiar Italian poo poo of an angry girl yelling at me unintelligibly for being drunk and hungry but the added benefit of a kebab too.

Euro food history bit

British food has always had very little distance to travel between farm and plate, so it stands up on its own without the need for sauces or being covered in herbs. France has always had a problem with so much if it's farmland, especially the champagne region near Paris, being used for grapes. This meant that in the olden days, when food had to be transported long distances by cart it was well past its prime, and in the summer often rotten by the time it reached Paris. (This was a contributing factor to the revolution). They invented things like sauces and roux to cover up the bad. Britain didn't need to do that.

In modern times processed food tastes exactly the same everywhere, the only real difference is how fresh it is.
