I once went to church potluck and got some noodle salad and took one bite and thought it tasted like menthol cigarettes. My mother in law thought I was full of poo poo and took a bite and spit it up on the table.

Very satisfying to be so incredibly right for once.

Hell, half the time you don't even get your ticket checked on the way into the theater. Or at least they don't seem to look at it for more than 0.5 seconds to make sure you have a ticket.

Yeah, here they're common in places that want a fruit option but also want to spend the least amount possible on it(schools, etc) so a bunch of us get exposed to them and learn to hate them.

Red delicious apples are available seasonally here, usually grown in france and other parts of europe, never seen an amerian red del in stores. I actually like them, and we have a selection of apple trees cultivars in my family, every year we get about 200-300kg of our own apples of various kinds. So I have tried a lot of apples in my life and don't get the red delicious hate, it's just an apple, mild in flavour making it good for straight eating, a lot of other apples are very strong flavoured and better suited for cooking or juicing (we juice 90% of our harvest). The mild flavor also IMO makes an apple kids tend to like, as they don't tend to like strongly flavors. The size and shape of store bought red delicious apples can vary a lot though, as can the taste, some red dels have been cloyingly sweet. Right now I'm eating a cultivar called Ida Red.

The earliest known use of the word was as "catchup" :eng101:. "Ketchup" is also almost certainly a romanisation of a word from an Asian language from a time before romanisation was standardised so really anything goes.

Yeah, that's the disconnect. Red Delicious in the US tastes approximately like cardboard, and is generally dry and mealy.

I've never had a problem with red deliciouses, but they were never my favourite. Golden delicious is where it's at for me. However, that may just be because it's the most pear-like of the apples.

Hey, remember how a while back there was a mention of the family going to church for Easter? And I said "I think this is the only mention of religion in the strip"? Well I was clearly wrong and had forgot all about this storyline!

So... Apparently Christianity is a thing in this universe? With distinct denominations and stuff?

I'm not even going to begin thinking about the implications. If y'all want to, go ahead and have fun.

That was a nativity story Kevin & Kell told Coney, to "teach her the true spirit of Christmas." At the time, I didn't think it was meant to be taken as gospel. (Pun fully intended.)

First page of the next Steeple storyline, which will be the first of a four part story lasting for the rest of the year. I'v never seen the characters in this page, which makes me think it's a TV show that members of the actual Steeple cast are watching

Of course, if you are one of Allison's Patreon supporters at $3 or more, you can get this complete story as a pdf download. I got it, but I want to see how the story unfolds with the rest of this thread.
