And they only take cash. Definitely money laundering right? Probably not money laundering - food service has much higher overheads than other retail, and stock in- and outflow is much more tightly controlled, so it's harder to get away with. *Might* be some other shenanigans going on with business loans, taxes and bankruptcy but also might just be indecisive owners. Those serving cabinets and fryers really aren't cheap, so they might even just be moving them around a bit - my local chippy goes through weird cycles because the space is a little too small to allow dining in, but has a load of wasted space otherwise, so every year or two - generally when they're redecorating - they move the counter a metre forward or back to either gain more prep space behind the counter or more queueing space in front.

That's fair. I never quite understood why they didn't just move them - they definitely are taking out the equipment and reinstalling different equipment but they might just be moving it between sites. More fun to imagine crimes though, poo poo-all ever happens around here except that one bloke who lives in a tent on the roundabout and sometimes wanders around with a machete.

That sounds like a fairly major happening, given the clutching of pearls that goes on on the Isle of Dogs FB group about people doing nitrous and the jogger who tries to start fights on the Blue Bridge. I'd imagine that sort of thing would cause actual pitchfork-and-torches mobs to appear around here.

Guavanaut posted:Yes. She also doesn't like "middle class parents" which sounds very suspicious given her "tennis players are more aspirational for children than footballers" ideas (but it really just means anyone who rejects her odd Victorian ideas on instruction). This woman is literally insane and is destroying the mental health of the kids under her care and I have no idea how her school is even legal. If I had a kid that told me a teacher was carrying on like that I'd be in there yelling at her the same day. mediaphage posted:‘american cheese’ isn’t even the most popular cheese in america, lol Burgers too ofc ThomasPaine fucked around with this message at 17:49 on Feb 20, 2022 |

bump_fn posted:the only actual solution is to make it yourself. if pyou have a :good produce source a pick de gallo is trivial, more saucey ones you might want to follow specific recipes Oh believe me, I do! But what I miss is cheap, acceptable salsa. You just can't get it here. I grow my own chillis, have a lot of fun fermenting them in brine and trying lots of different blends. There's a farm near me that sells crates of jalapeños for very little in the summer so I've been making roasted green jalapeño and tomatillo salsa and a really nice apple cider vinegar jalapeño pickle too. However.  some days I just want chips and dip or dirty quick nachos and the americans have decently available supermarket salsa for dirt cheap.

It had the police helicopters out the one time he actually went into the estate agents and was aggressive about it. Mostly it's just Steve. He's more commonly to be seen with bows and arrows in military uniform he definitely should not be wearing. He needs help but he ain't going to get it. :/

Mebh posted:We actually buy our own cheese powder and add that to popcorn. Its loving insane. Way cheaper and less 50/50 chance its going to be utterly vile than buying the suspect bags of pre popped corn snacks from the american candy aisle. Where do you buy cheese powder from? Is it that weird hard cheese in a shaker you can get at the supermarket?

No mate that's probably parmesan. Cheese powder is a specific thing. You could mix up plain popcorn with Wotsits, I bet that'd be all right

Stuff like this. https://www.myamericanmarket.com/us...yRoCANgQAvD_BwE I had this before. I found you had to throw a LOT of it onto popcorn to get the smallest cheese buzz. And even then I felt it was just better and easier to buy some Manhattan Cheese flavoured popcorn. Or Tayto's cheese flavoured microwavable popcorn.

My son and I both like popcorn. It’s trivially easy to make it at home. Top tip: use ghee. It gives a delicious buttery flavour and has a high smoke point.

That's one of the things I love most about SA; you could use a random word generator to come up with a word like popcorn and still find someone who's spent the last five years exhaustively researching the best popcorn options and ranking them.
