Why does the republic of London not contain a fairly large portion of London?

While this is true it does downplay how loving awful the British empire was merely by warrant of being the biggest, baddest empire of all the European ones. Historically Britain does seem to be particularly cruel going all the way back to us inventing the chevauchee in the 1300s, everyone else was playing catch up Plus our specific brand of killing people and robbing them for Free Markets continues to this day pretty much unchanged at least ideologywise

I had a walk around Borough market yesterday afternoon (clearing the alcohol related anxiety from the weekend) and they have a decent selection of wild mushrooms but they are on the upper scale of prices I'm willing to pay, otoh I know I could learn to find them but I don't trust myself not to do a death...maybe there is a better/cheaper place to buy than in Borough market? (Might try my local east end one at the weekend) Also foraging chat while I know nothing about it really is way less stressful of the major chat groups going right now.

Hentai Jihadist posted:I'm thinking about breaking into the mushroom scene what are the best mushrooms? Mushrooms don't operate on the regular good<--->bad scale, you gotta narrow it down a bit The most beautiful mushroom, I would argue, is Gyromitra esculenta  look at it, it's amazing In Sweden at least, Cantharellus cibarius is commonly regarded as the tastiest mushroom  (among higher-brow mushroom people, it's got a slight hint of being a mushroom for people who don't know better, or who aren't really 4 real. not that we wouldn't pick it of course, it's just not the end of our ambitions) If you want to grow mushrooms at home, the Oyster Mushroom, Pleurotus ostreatus, is a good choice  You can get a kit you place in the cellar or something, not very labour intensive either. I'm not into cultivating shrooms though I've thought about it a lot. Something in me considers growing things to be foraging on cheat mode Craterellus Cornucopioides is a personal favourite. Both mild and spicy in taste, its colour provides contrast in any full pan of mixed mushroom happiness

even after the conscription crisis, even after the Easter Rising and the executions, as late as the 1918 GE and 1920 local elections there was still narrow net majority support in what would become the Irish Free State (i.e., excluding Ulster) for non-Sinn-Fein groupings favouring various degrees of incremental home rule or unionism; it was the outbreak of civil war itself and the ensuing heavy-handed, outstaying-their-welcome response by the British that would ensure the outcome was war and the Free State rather than something akin to Quebec this shouldn't be viewed as something unusual - in the first half of the 20th century, all across Europe there were many examples of governments forming by fait accompli. Stalin's famous remark about the pope's (lack of) divisions is only weird when removed from this historical context people don't really like violence, by both rebels and by legalist reaction; sneering about the Scots and £50 is a touch rude. If Southern Ireland had held an in-out referendum in 1919, there are good odds it would have voted for continued home rule under a British banner too. ronya fucked around with this message at 09:42 on Oct 22, 2019 |

You won't find anything very different from an Agaricus in a store I'm afraid, very few species are economically important other than very locally maybe

I've never heard chopping them might be bad, and I struggle to find a mechanism for how that might affect taste really. But that's how a lot of mushroom knowledge is, in general, while mushroom habits are often very firm and loudly proclaimed, they're not generally in agreement. It's fairly accepted that washing mushrooms lower their quality, certainly soaking them over time turns them into mush. I would argue that if you have very good quality shrooms, washing them will probably hurt them more than it helps, while, if they're damaged and dirty, dipping them or rinsing them shortly in cold water probably helps them.

Tijuana Bibliophile posted:Mushrooms don't operate on the regular good<--->bad scale, you gotta narrow it down a bit Oh the stenmurkla. Note to thread, this one is dangerous, a single mushroom is enough to kill you. Boiling (thrice) has been traditionally used to make it safe though lately many consider it simply inedible nowadays, because it has killed experienced people even though they prepared it correctly. I read a personal account of one who had eaten it for 30 years and still got poisoned one day, later he found out the toxin concentration can vary immensely between individual mushrooms and so some can be dangerous even though they have been treated. Even in non lethal doses the toxin is a carcinogen too.

You know, the funniest scenario is one in which the British Parliament ratifies the agreement but the European Parliament doesn't. Particularly if it's because the Brexit Party fails to show up as usual. Edit: ahahaha, Farage has just given a speech in the EP, and it might be that the Brexit Party votes it down because they're so pissed at Johnson.

It turns out that being bad is down to you being part of the ruling class and isn't connected to any specific nationality. Who knew?

Louisa was not so badly affected. In probably the most highly charged transaction of his life, Evans received a kidney from his only daughter, Lauren, last month because his heart was under strain from five hours of dialysis three times a week It's a good idea to go on a guided forage with someone that knows what they're doing. I've been on a couple in woods near me and they're good fun. There's only a couple of wild mushrooms that I trust myself to ID and eat though.

Honestly I'd be fine with that Scottish border, except for the facts that - 1) It runs through the centre of a national park, and administering a border there if required could be difficult. 2) I'd be much happier drawing the line just North of Wales instead. (Hell, if Wales like, they can have a poll to join Ireland.) That said, I feel like everyone except Catalonia would be upset by the mainland borders.

I can't help with that part though. Its nickname among market traders is 'Thorough Markup'.
