Yeah the rye bread which is like eating carpet tiles isn't great (it's actually quite pleasant if you're expecting it, but is extremely bad for making sandwiches or really anything other than just putting butter or cheese on it and then jamming it into your face) but regular bread with some rye in it is delicious. But I generally prefer coarser bread anyway, the only type of bread I really hate is the very soft, airy kind. Proper bread shouldn't get dented if you give the loaf a gentle squeeze.

Urgh christ that Danish stuff is absolutely inedible. Is that actually what bread is like in Denmark because how can one country get half the basis for a bacon sandwich so right and the other half so utterly, earth shatteringly wrong if so?

So Mr LC is a pig farmer and like shooting things so clearly I’m not a friend of peta, and even I have to say “stop eating veal you utter bastards”

They are stuck in crates so small they can’t even turn round in them, in the dark, and fed milk for the entirety of their sad pitiful lives while they piss and poo poo all over their own feet and legs which often burns through to the bone. It is cruel and wrong, just like battery farmed anything is cruel and wrong.

The best thing to do with rye bread is to cut it into soldiers, fry it in some oil, rub garlic into them, and lightly salt. They're called grenki and they're delicious.

That seems to me to be more of a point about eating habits in general than being a vegan or a vegetarian though. Nothing to stop them binging on crisps etc etc.

Coohoolin posted:

Could be many things from access to cooking options to not having enough time to shop more frequently for food that doesn't keep as long.

Still seems a weak argument. A lot of vegetables keep at least as long if not longer than meat or dairy. And there's tons of ready meals for vegetarians on the shelves (maybe many are vegan friendly too?) so it's not like you can't be a 'lazy' vegetarian in modern Britain.

I suspect the apparent class divide is more to do with being exposed to these ideas/trends and/or some virtue signalling element.

The MPs are going to vote soon on a plan regarding the refurbishment of Westminster Palace.

The options are;
  • Parliament business conducted in another building - lowest cost estimate £3.5 billion, taking about six years.
  • Staying in Westminster, rennovating sections at a time - lowest cost estimate £6 billion, over about thirty years.
  • Bulldoze the entire site, install plastic chairs - lowest cost estimate £6000 for diggers, + £600 for plastic chairs (might be able to get cheaper), over three months.

MPs have vote by 236 votes to 220 to press ahead with a “full decant”, would involve moving out of the Commons fully during the renovation. That’s a majority of 16.

Now MPs are voting on the motion as amended, which will probably get passed.

How much rye bread have you tried? I'm definitely not the biggest fan of it, in general, but the taste and feel of it can vary enormously. On one end, you have bread that's somehow dry and mushy at the same time, and tastes like cardboard, on the other you have nice and solid textured bread that complements meaty flavors much better than white bread - and supports a proper stack of toppings without falling apart when cut.

Basically, if you use rye bread as simply a stand in for white bread, you're probably not gonna get much out of it - white bread sandwiches were designed with white bread in mind, so of course changing the bread will impact your enjoyment! What you need to do is built a(n openfaced) sandwich around the characteristics of rye instead, and make sure you buy some proper rye with seeds and poo poo instead of the bread that looks like white bread except browner.

It's not rye bread it's just white bread but mostly air, it's usually sold as weight loss bread.
