Yeah true, anything you have to grab whole, i think I’d rather use chopsticks. The only thing they really suck for is rice imo, ironically

E^ oh come on, at least it’s not midwestern drainage infrastructure discussion or someshit I mean I’m able to eat rice with chopsticks, I just think a fork works better. Or spoon; Koreans supplement the chopsticks with them today but apparently way back when, Japanese and Chinese people used to as well, but dropped them for reasons that are inexplicable to me. Chopsticks + spoon can conquer almost any dish, I’d maybe even take it over a knife and fork if it wouldn’t make me look like a massive idiot.

When I'm eating at my place I use chopsticks all the time. You can actually use the chopsticks to pin down a piece of meat while using a knife to cut it. e: ^^^ they look fine to me? Count Roland fucked around with this message at 21:43 on Jun 7, 2018 |

Time to remind people that the entirety of Northern Europe has fewer people than some German sub-states, so maybe that region isn't all that representative of anything.

True, but German food is also crap, aside from some cured meats that are still inferior to Polish, let alone Spanish efforts. Benelux, Germany, UK, Ireland, all trash cuisines unfit for human consumption.

I assume you've never seen German food in your life. Also heat is not a universal positive, it's just something goons love to emphasize as they have destroyed their taste buds.

icantfindaname posted:The internal provincial borders are weird squiggly lines and clearly not accurate Everything I see is more or less accurate? Like edges are rounded and tapered more and don't represent the exact boundary, but literally every country in the entire world is drawn like that so it's internally consistent. I don't think it's meant to be a map so precise that you could set national borders based on it. I think people's eyes are just drawn to it as an error because all the "straight line" divisions look fine, and straight line division provinces tend to be the biggest ones in the world thanks to US/Canada/Australia/Sahara/Greenland. If you zoom in really far, you'll notice the borders in Europe are just as wonky as the ones in DRC and China. I don't know enough about SVGs to know if there is some technical reason (e.g. hard to open a map if it has 1000000000 anchor points for every border precisely drawn) or if it was just done for the sake of time and simplicity. I mean, the country borders are also approximated and simplified. If you zoom in on the SVG 10000x on the north Bangladesh-India border, you don't see the nightmare patchwork chessboard that it actually is in real life, but instead you see something kind of sane.

System Metternich posted:Potatoes and cabbage are veggies too Don't forget beetroot and miscellaneous steamed vegetables like carrots and onions. German food is certainly "filling" but there's a reason you never see German cuisine restaurants outside of Germany, unless they're themed restaurants where the waiters wear lederhosen and dirndls and serve you large beer steins. Mediterranean European traditional food sure has a gently caress-ton more variety than anything north of the Alps (minus France).
