YANKEE BEETLES ARE SUPPOSED TO DESTROY OUR HARVEST. THEREBY THEY ALSO THREATEN YOUR LIVELIHOOD! Destroying the potato beetles means fighting against the plans of the warmongering imperialists. Your fight against the ruinous pest from the USA is a FIGHT FOR PEACE!

Orange Devil posted:Like for instance, why did they skip Denmark? Looking it up, we've had a few minor invasions of it in Southern Denmark but they always die out. They can't handle the constantly shifting temperatures during our winters and end up getting fungal infections. Our winters are getting milder and milder though, so they might become a more permanent fixture soon

the weirdest food local to here is probably burnt ends, not because they're weird, but because we don't really have a lot of weird foods in kansas bierocks?? they're russian/german pasties/pierogies/runzas tho google is schooling me that while the Nebraska runza is always rectangular, the Kansas bierock is usually round, and it's that sort of meaningless distinction that powers the entire flat part of the country

I just learned about bierocks recently on the Burger Show. There's a whole lot of weird specific regional variants of food that you'd never really expect.

Honestly the weirdest thing about a lot of these is their names, many of which are completely off-putting. Yeah I'm just gonna call my delicious plate of hearty food "scrambled oxturds".

Peanut Butler posted:the weirdest food local to here is probably burnt ends, not because they're weird, but because we don't really have a lot of weird foods in kansas The US is like a vault experiment where you draw completely arbitrary lines on the map (half the states are just basic geometrical shapes), but then you give these entities enough powers that the people in them actually start diverging from each other, and identifying a certain way. Well, that's basically the entirety of human cultural history, but nowhere is it as clean and obvious as in the US. It's a really clever form of federalism, the states have far-reaching powers, but the borders mostly have no meaning whatsoever and are usually just straight lines, so local identities will still never become strong enough for people to want to seriously secede based on them. The regional identities that people might actually feel strongly about (Southern, etc.) don't correspond to anything within America's federal structure.

Coloroado beetles are also notoriously resistant to several pesticides, both due to historically bad synchronization of pesticide use with associated selection for resistance, and preadaptions for pesticide resistances from consuming plants with toxic glykoalkaloids for a living. High fecundity, coupled with bethedging propensities (good dispersal and diapause strategies) also add to making this species a pain in the rear end to deal with in agriculture. Potatoes are not even the beetles original food source, as they are native to North America (west and southwest), and potato being a south american Andean plant. Its massive expansion across the US and later Eurasia was made possible by a host shift to potatoes as late as the 19th century. Pretty neat how it adapted to this new toxic plant these people were suddenly planting all over the place. Its free real estate. Dont remember which the original native host plants were, but it was also toxic in a similar way to the potato plant. Probably the world champion of pesticide resistance, this beetle,  Falukorv fucked around with this message at 18:47 on May 16, 2020 |

It’s almost always the reverse. Usually the pest hails from the crop’s homeland and follows it to new continents (with no predators), or is at least something of a generalist.

Alaois posted:as a lifelong resident of new jersey can someone please inform me what a new jersey style sloppy joe is According to the Washington Post https://www.washingtonpost.com/recipes/new-jersey-sloppy-joes/14457/ "In certain parts of the Garden State, the term "sloppy Joe" refers not to the ground-beef-and-tomato-sauce sandwich but to a no-cook deli classic. The double-decker sandwich combines two meats, Swiss cheese, coleslaw and Russian dressing on rye bread. This recipe pays homage to the Town Hall Delicatessen in South Orange, N.J., which claims to be the originator of the sandwich in this form."
