Thanks a bunchas tribute to the thread here's my attempt at heating frozen croissants on the grill after one of many fruitless attempts at finding bagels.



It was a failed experiment but not as bad as I first thought. Mostly because as they melted in my not sufficiently cooled cooler they congealed into one big dough chunk resulting in the mess you see.

When I'm in a tent with no other cooking equipment other than a travel grill it's a bit tricky.

Probably possible though.

Taco Bell would do gangbusters in Sweden and I’m floored as to why they aren’t in the Nordics. Svennetacos are not good.

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

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.

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."

Much like how so many people eat uncooked egg and are fine despite the government's recommendations.
