chitoryu12 posted:Also real Spam is actually relatively high quality and uses decent meat. A lot of its bad reputation comes from cheap clones during and around WW2 that used stuff like pig cheeks to pad it out. But pig cheeks are delicious and good. If you go to a pig roast and the cheeks aren't the first thing you go for you're doing it wrong. It's this great combination of lean and moist. If you give it a fancy name like 'guanciale' people will pay top dollar for it.

I haven't eaten it in years but I love Spam. Probably like many others, it's only because my grandmother gave it to me as a kid. I absolutely understand that it's loving gross. To stay on topic, the marketing push in the mid 2000s had some good commercials, though. The guy's over the top angry scream makes me laugh every time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhmCVzrDmBU

My wife makes a killer spam fried rice that's a quick cheap way to fill your belly on those slum days where you feel creative enough to make something unembarrassing and don't have enough papa John's points to get the free pizza yet. It's probably a once every couple of months type thing but I love it.

The Bloop posted:You are eating cat food, maybe. Learning that there is a difference between “Chunk Light Tuna” (.50¢ a can, and almost literally cat food,) and “Solid White Tuna” (~1-4 dollars a can, actually fit for human consumption,) has turned several of my formerly non-tuna-eating friends around.

Eh. Ann Frank is a historical figure and someone a lot of people admire and young ladies can relate to. She died under terrible circumstances. A lot of historical figures died horribly. I don’t see any protests over Amelia Earhart costumes and we’re pretty sure she was either eaten or starved to death. Not a great costume. I probably wouldn’t want to go to a Halloween party with someone in an Anne Frank costume. But it’s not horrible.

Costume's fine unless you're wearing/modifying it with the intent of being an rear end in a top hat. edit: also quote:He explained that the company sells costumes for activities other than Halloween, like “school projects and plays.” Grey Fox has a new favorite as of 23:40 on Oct 16, 2017 |

It tasted like such an extreme level of pork that I could smell it in my mouth, if that makes any sense. Like it was fuming pork.

Albacore is better than both; way less 'fishy', plus albacore is line-caught, they don't use nets.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forty_acres_and_a_mule Forty acres and a mule refers to a promise made in the United States for agrarian reform for former enslaved black farmers by Union General William Tecumseh Sherman on January 16, 1865. It followed a series of conversations between Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton and Radical Republican abolitionists Charles Sumner and Thaddeus Stevens[1] following disruptions to the institution of slavery provoked by the American Civil War. Many freedmen believed and were told by various political figures that they had a right to own the land they had long worked as slaves, and were eager to control their own property
