going to a place that has unrecognisable street food and then not eating as much of it as possible is a sin against the lord

kinda surprising; indian food usually isn't that bad for fat and all that what with no beef and usually no pork except in a few specific regions for things like vindaloo. unless you keep going for the butter chicken and curies with cream-based sauces i guess

a carb rich diet that also tastes good so it’s hard to stop eating?

i’ve got a question that’s simply a curiosity, and I’m curious if this is a cultural thing or not


at work we have a staff kitchen, and when it comes to cleaning it and putting on the dishwasher (and fixing the forks that have been put spike end down so it stops the spinny part from spinning :argh:) etc, there is quite a disparity where some people do the work and pitch in and others just ignore it completely all the time

generally the people who pitch in are people who grew up in nz, and the people who don’t are people who have come here from china (we have almost a half and half mix of those two groups and almost no one else)

no judgement from me, I’m just curious if someone who has more experience of cultures if there’s something like a “if it’s not my responsibility it’s not my responsibility”? and if not, perhaps that’s a ignorant way to look at it. any insight would be interesting

idk I mean I don’t really care, I don’t mind cleaning it’s not a bad way to spend my time at work.

my experience is that its often a gender thing and that women will generally clean up the break room and men will use dirty coffee cups until mold grows in them over a long weekend and then throw them out


ew lol


my work environment is about 3:1 women to dudes, and maybe that’s why the standard is quite high, but over half of everyone do nothing to contribute to overall communal duty. it’s the bag room too so everyone has to pass through it, see that it’s a mess, and do nothing to tidy up spontaneously

real chinese fermentheads go for fermented bamboo shoots

I bought this insane packet of noodles (I think I already mentioned) to make and I had no idea what it was and I took it to work and the chinese girls were like woah you won’t like that and they said it’s river snail and fermented bamboo.

I opened the outer bag and there is ten (10) individual bags of things.

I am not brave enough to try :qq:
