I've read that penguin eggs are actually pretty gross, because they're fishy; because penguins exist mostly on fish.

That might be the worst take on pigs in a blanket or it could be a take on corndogs so awful that the human mind can't fully grasp it.

Those are 'toad-in-the-hole', sausages in Yorkshire pudding batter, but they're not really supposed to look like that...

Is anything supposed to look like this? Anything at all? I'll accept 'daddy has the bad thoughts again' as an answer.

HelloIAmYourHeart posted:Antarctic explorers and shipwrecked sailors There actually was a disastrous antarctic expedition to retrieve penguin eggs. It was believed that penguins was a primitive bird and the missing link between reptiles. The penguin embryos were supposed to prove this link. Two of the three members of the expedition died to retrieve eggs that didn't prove anything.

And from what I heard so far of doomed expeditions I can guess that wasn't anywhere near the dumbest reason to send people to die in the Antarctic.

HelloIAmYourHeart posted:The Worst Journey in the World https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Worst_Journey_in_the_World I have this book, and have never read it, though I am a great reader of early 20th century antarctic exploration. I've read all of Shackleton's expeditions, plus Douglas Mawson's, but the Scott stuff is so depressingly, obviously doomed to failure, I could never enjoy any of it. Compared to Shackleton, who never lost a man, Scott seems to have positively revelled in dying for a stupid "Noble Cause" Edit: Shackletons accounts are incredible. They well written, funny, absorbing, and you just know no one is going to die of something stupid because Ernest was a crazy good and devoted leader. I remember reading the last part of one of the later explorations, when the crew had to be rescued from an antarctic island. Shackleton spent months trying to get back to that island, finally got there and, when he arrived, a few dishevelled men got down to the beach. Shackleton asked tentatively "all well?" They answered "All well" I cried like a baby when I read that. Pookah has a new favorite as of 21:22 on Nov 27, 2022 |

It's kinda funny that Shackleton's expedition was the most successfull british polar expedition simply because no one died.

I feel like every time I hear about a polar expedition its something along the line of: "Food ran out after only two weeks because expedition leader Percy Montague Arthur George Maria Featherstonehaugh 7th earl of Scunthorpe, a hemophiliac who had never seen a boat before, insisted that he needed to bring his collection of 43 antique grandfather clocks leaving little space in the hold for food. The earl died shortly after from exposure as he forgot to bring a coat."

My favourite thing about Arctic exploration is how long it took them to figure out what causes scurvy.

I'm not sure but it might be that the expeditions to Australia and New Zealand were the dumbest, Full on let's ignore what the helpful natives are trying to tell us about edible plants and also let's scare them off with gunshots because.

This year my spouse volunteered to make the green bean casserole for Thanksgiving. I hate green bean casserole, because it is objectively disgusting. But my spouse made the casserole from scratch, and it was actually delicious. Hardly anyone ate it because it wasn't bad enough.

I don't like green bean casserole, so I just make southern green beans (green beans with bacon and onions)

Being British I'd never experienced thanksgiving until last year when my American friend invited me to her place along with her parents vising from the US I specifically asked if they'd have green bean casserole because of hearing about it here, and they made it and I thought it was great. Probably they used fresh beans though. My friend said they'd never cooked it during her childhood but her dad was happy because he used to have it on the thanksgiving table growing up. Seems a dish that's much more than the sum of the parts

I guarantee that if they were using fresh beans it wasn't no church potluck version.

I will admit to liking the full can version of green bean casserole, although I am fully aware that it fits within a very specific garbage comfort food niche on account of growing up in the midwest.
