Tesseraction posted:I don't normally like Turkish Delight but I had a Turkish colleague who would bring Turkish Delight back from Turkey (I think they're officially Turkiye now) and that poo poo was incredible. Yeah, real Turkish delight is amazing, and has nothing in common with that purple jelly poo poo Cadburys sell that tastes like petrol.

And so I've gotten back into Refreshers and now I bet Tesco will jack the price back up

Animals bleed when slaughtered, it's nutritious but spoils quickly so combine it with suet, some oats, maybe some onion & assorted seasonings, all things your peasant is likely to have ready access to. Otherwise the blood is just wasted and your peasant cannot really afford that

OwlFancier posted:Also while doing mild wikipedia diving I found: I remember reading somewhere that the company that owns Fisherman's Friends actually gives a lot of money to the local community in Fleetwood(?). You can see how well I've researched this post. I was going to make a "Like most coastal communities, Fleetwood voted hugely in favour of Brexit" comment, but it seems they were only slightly above the national average. So maybe sucking Fisherman's Friends actually provides some sort of prophylactic against fascism?

This prompted me to look up the Balkan tradition (from 15th century) of burnesha 'sworn virgins', women who take an oath in front of village elders to live their lives as men and are treated as men and refer to themselves as 'he'. Tradition now dying out given increased women's rights. Ed: I do realize that most of these women are not 'transgender' in the modern sense of the word. https://www.rferl.org/a/25087412.html One of the images:  Graun article: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/aug/05/women-celibacy-oath-men-rights-albania Jane Clare Jones has privatised her twitter.

Short of any scientific literature to clarify the situation, I'm going to assume that zombies' indefinite existence is fueled purely by neutrons, so the nom-nom-nom is their way of trying to reduce any substance down to an edible state. That they go after living flesh is merely due to the gas exuded by exposed skin that reminds them of the possibility of neutron-goodiness. The best way to protect yourself from zombies - and Thatcher - is to coat every cm2 with a substance that is repulsive to anything with functioning olfactory glands. Basically, spray yourself with Lynx Africa, goons, and you'll be safe from zombies and Thatcher, and your taint shall forever be safe from humankind.

Nothing truly possessed of a will to life is worth following after a direct hit by Lynx or Right Guard or Wetherspoons, which is enough sign of purpose. Next step is avoiding below ground shelters that have spent years advertising themselves as below ground shelters to the point of uselessness, so there's no point in sheltering.

big scary monsters posted:Parma violets are mostly baffling to me. They aren't even that unpleasant, it's just confusing why anybody would choose to eat them over literally any other sweet. It is decades since I ate a Parma violet, but I loved them as a child because of their texture, smooth and slightly concave against the tongue, and the mild, peaceful calm of their smell and flavour. As for tasting of perfume, I can't really answer that since I detest Earl Grey for smelling and tasting of soap, so all I can say is that it's possible I'd like drinking violet perfume.

OwlFancier posted:Also while doing mild wikipedia diving I found: Fisherman Friends were a big sweet in my childhood. By which I mean, in 4th-6th class a big deal was two kids challenging each other to see who could stomach a Fisherman's Friend the longest before spitting it out. There were rumours of Extra Strong flavours as being a whole other level of pain. Re: Black Pudding. I was always more of a fan of White Pudding over Black. But recently my wife got me this really fancy sausage/white pudding/black pudding roulade which was amazing. I have since gotten the commercially available white and black pudding roulade. It's really good.

Fisherman's Friends are actually pretty drat good, especially if you're out at sea for a while and need something that comes in a small tin and clears your sinuses. I'd happily have a Fishy Friend today, if I could.

Bounties are great but all dark chocolate is rank. Parma Violets are vile, and Turkish Delight from Turkey or in a hexagon box is great but wrapped in chocolate is horrific. Correct food opinions are now established. Edit: I haven't had a Fisherman's Friend since I was a child but something to blast the sinuses clear is definitely tempting now.
