Pouring one out for all those misguided souls that apparently never saw a goulash. I know it's hard to acknowledge your grandma might have been wrong in kitchen, but a lecsó isn't made from vienna sausages either.

Rinkles posted:chlodnik's another one I had trouble overcoming my childhood prejudices with. It's pink! One of my favourite soups full stop, but only when it's hot outside. It's like a refreshing savoury milkshake you eat from a soup plate. But come winter, it immediately becomes kind of meh. And żurek is the opposite. When it's cold outside, it's the best thing ever.

Is that a Hungarian thing? I mean, it sounds like it but I also remember having it in Poland here and there (but you can get goulash here as well fairly often so gently caress it, who knows)

We do a fun, and pretty tasty, thing with tomato soup in Norway (and maybe the other two as well) though, which is we put hard boiled eggs in it A+ (and cheap) 2 course dinner is to open with tomato soup (served with buttered bread and hard boiled eggs, and typically macaroni in Norway), followed by pancakes with blueberry jam.

I also hated them as a kid, and yeah, without access to good sauces back in the day, it was whatever you could get in those 1 litre glass jars, which wasn't great. With better ingredients stuffed peppers are not too bad. Still not a fan, but I can tolerate them now. Same goes for golubtsy. When they aren't made with wilted cabbage and lovely tomato sauce, they are tolerable. Randarkman posted:We do a fun, and pretty tasty, thing with tomato soup in Norway (and maybe the other two as well) though, which is we put hard boiled eggs in it It is my belief that practically any soup can be improved by adding hard-boiled eggs to it. Haven't tried tomato soup with eggs, though. Looks good.

Soviet store bought sour cream was already pre diluted for you, so it’s more like a diet version of this salad. For best results go full mayo, make large volume ( half-bucket minimum ), and let it seat overnight in fridge to marinate.

Kind of minor in the context of the other events but the new Rosatom built belorussian nuclear power plant was officially launched by Luka and the next day promptly shut down because according to journalists some transformers blew out (up?) making Lithuania very nervous

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/nov/10/nagorno-karabakh-armenia-pm-signs-deal-to-end-war-with-azerbaijan-and-russia I'm probably naive, but this doesn't sound like a bad deal. I wasn't even aware Armenia was holding not just Nagorno Karabakh but some areas outside of it. They keep NK, turn those other areas to Azerbaijan, and both sides have corridors to their enclaves.

Doctor Malaver posted:https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/nov/10/nagorno-karabakh-armenia-pm-signs-deal-to-end-war-with-azerbaijan-and-russia There are obviously people in Armenia who see a complete military victory as the only way to resolve the conflict. Hard to say if that's something that the majority of people in Armenia think or just a small group who happen to have a lot of guns. I suppose it can be slightly similar to Ukraine, where the majority of Ukrainians (~40%) seem to be okay with Minsk agreements in principle, but are not politically active enough to try to pressure government into actually following them. Meanwhile the other side, while not as numerous (~20%), are much more active, so they organise protests every time there's even a hint of concessions to separatists/Russia as outlined in Minsk agreements. Now it all depends on how Pashinyan is going to handle these protests.

Now they are asking for recognition of Artsakh and recording videos of Armenian soldiers smiling, fighting, kissing crucifix etc. Brings me flashbacks from the 90s. Their first music in 15 years and it's nationalist propaganda. BTW the war is covered in more detail in the Middle East thread. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3839774&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=522

Yes, they were always very outspoken about it, especially Tankian. He even had a song about Nagorno-Karabakh in 2016 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttfk0QinrQk But I will also say that I was also slightly surprised by Protect The Land. Compare it with BYOB or any other song that dealt with wars thematically, and it's like a completely different band. Reminded me of one of those army propaganda rock ballads (only SOAD's song actually sounds good) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfVMV1yfU7E

I was a big fan 20 years ago and knew the first two albums by heart. Had the original CDs. There's no mention of Armenia in the lyrics or in the booklet in either album. I don't know the later albums that well but they were more about Hollywood, porn and drugs than Armenia, Nagorno Karabakh and pomegranates. Now I'm reading about it and yeah there's one song on the first album about genocide but it doesn't name the victims or the perpetrators. Their whole philosophy is anti-war and anti-establishment, so that song fit with the rest without drawing much attention. And there's another on the last album that actually mentions the river Aras and holy mountains. That's two songs from five albums, neither was a single or had a video. Quite a subtle treatment of the subject, incomparable to the vulgar turd they dropped now.
