It's derived from a mayan dish and the modern form is from Juarez/El Paso. The first famous restaurant was in LA.

The Scottish, not the English, invented Haggis, Battered Mars Bars, etc. And basically all the bad food (think of Kay's Cooking) pics come from England. Wales has like, soup. Sometimes lamb soup. And tiny little "welshcakes" that are difficult to find a proper version of outside of Wales, I think(?). Uhhh. The Irish have potatoes but like they really know how ta cook em

Everything good to come from the UK was from Scotland, Wales, or N. Ireland. England itself has done nothing of value.

I was born and raised in the south and don't like tea of any kind - sweet, unsweet, hot, cold. In these parts I'm considered an apostate.

Sweet tea is good once in a while and iced tea is good but I never really seek them out or order it at restaurants. It is pretty refreshing on really hot days but usually if i have a choice I'd rather just have some water or diet coke.

Just water or beer. Everything else is too hot and isn't actually refreshing.

I don't like hot tea, but love iced tea. I love hot coffee, but hate iced coffee. I also like my coffee with chicory in it. And brandy. Spanish coffee is the superior choice to Irish coffee.

I accidentally drank bleach once and it was frankly easier on the mouth than liquor. I mean I spit it out, I don't recommend it, but it tasted almost exactly how it smells. My assumption was that it would burn or something. Nope. It feels less gross than taking a big swig of soda.

Can't say I've tried bleach, but when I clean my bathroom I can't be bothered with diluting it and just splash it around like i'm cleaning a murder scene. It definitely hurts to breathe. More than once I had to leave the room and painfully wheeze for non-bleach-breath. The way I see it though, that's how you know it's working.

I never got how people say that vodka tastes like nothing No, it tastes like ethanol which has a very distinct taste. I chalk it up to problem alcoholism, like the people who have convinced themselves they're fooling anyone with the "lemon water" in their water bottle or that their breath smells normal

I always figured people meant it doesn’t add any flavors to a mixed drink. Like a vodka soda after a minute or so just tastes like drinking slightly tingly fizzy water.

While there isn't much ammonia in pee, it can still cause damage that adds up.

Manager Hoyden posted:I never got how people say that vodka tastes like nothing I think it's just one of those things that became a saying despite not being accurate. My taste buds aren't in the greatest shape and even I can usually taste the difference between brands. It might be hard to do a blind taste test and tell which is which, but they usually have at least some distinct flavor/aftertaste that sets them apart from each other.
