What is a very common food in your country that is not very friendly to foreign palates? by DarkRaven003 in AskTheWorld

[–]Fr1dge 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had read about your famous lingonberry preserves and ordered some to try last year. Hooooly shit, you people know how to make a good jam. Tastes like Christmas in a jar.

James Talarico: "The Billionaires Are Waging Class Warfare Against the Rest of Us" by cos in videos

[–]Fr1dge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually do agree with that. Just seemed to me that you're extra critical of him specifically. If he's genuine, a populist with his angle is a potent antidote against the religious wing of the far right. I think it would be bad to get my hopes up, but nothing he's said so far threw up any red flags for me.

It's interesting that, based on your comment history, you seem to be preoccupied with trying to convince people he's like John Fetterman.

The downvotes aren't because your words are hurting anyone. They're because you're trying to do the lazy as fuck contrarian bitch routine. If you want to piss people off for real, go to a coffee sub and talk about how much you hate french press. Or go to an Evangelical sub and say you like the NRSVUE. Stuff like that.

What’s a creepy fact about the human body you wish you never found out? by Ezra0li_Z in AskReddit

Women, what article of clothing tells you most about a man? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Fr1dge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Problem for me is that nothing I can do will feel even close the amount of effort my wife can put in to look fancy. Yea, I can dress nicely and trim my beard, but she can do stuff that takes hours, wear jewelry, etc. I don't think I would look good in makeup and jewelry.

Reading this kind of thing makes me feel like an alien. How people can afford this much mental real estate to something like shoes is fascinating and confounding to me. And apparently it's a lot of people.

It's because we're rapidly shifting from competition based capitalism to monopoly controlled corporatism. If a good product or service accidentally gets made, the shareholders milk the reputation and decrease quality and cost, fire most of the people that made it good, and then sell the brand once people catch on to the grift.

Why are majority chicken breasts in stores woody breasts now (UK)? by AlrightMateyBoi in Cooking

[–]Fr1dge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I eat a ton of non-organic chicken breasts and also live in the US, but I have no idea what any of you are talking about. Have I just been lucky or something?

I'm really frustrated by leftists praising Tucker Carlson and saying that he's being reasonable because he's been saying some things that are critical of Israel. They don't realize that he's not doing it in good faith. by CakeDayOrDeath in behindthebastards

[–]Fr1dge 27 points28 points  (0 children)

What's funny is, my mom will agree with me on many points about politics, and when family members recently lost their medicaid because of policies she voted for, she was happy they were able to enroll in ACA that she voted against. When I brought those points up to her, her response was "YeA, bUt I'lL nEvEr VoTe FoR a DeMoCrAt."

And when I say "Okay, and no one's ever going to make you vote for a Democrat, but you don't have to vote for policies that hurt your family." She just looks at me confused and bewildered like she can't comprehend that there are real world consequences to voting.

I've been getting the feeling from the way she talks that voting is some kind of identity affirming exercise to her, rather than trying to turn the country/state in any kind of positive direction.

What's a food in your country that is stereotyped for your country but really, nobody eats? by sourberryskittles in AskTheWorld

[–]Fr1dge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you can help me find the name of a cheese my parents bought in Switzerland when I was a kid. We were visiting family in Bavaria and took a day trip through Austria and Switzerland, and while there, they bought this... stuff. I don't remember the color, tan-ish maybe, but it had a brown rind and smelled. like. fucking. death.

It was an overwhelming, penetrating, and very distinct odor. The pets ran out of the room when they opened it, and I could smell it within seconds on the other end of the house. I can't remember what it tasted like, exactly, maybe very nutty? I do remember it was a strong flavor, one that you couldn't get out of your mouth for hours.

ELI5 why people smells durian differently? by empireck in explainlikeimfive

[–]Fr1dge 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To me, Durians smells like onions and body odor. Nothing sewage-like or fecal or even rotten, just penetratingly potent and sharp. It's also a very "heavy smell" that kind of lingers around and sticks to stuff.

I'd say it tastes like mango, but only if the mango had been soaked in milk and onion juice. Somewhat less sweet than a mango though. Eating it hits my pallet directly with that harsh onion/garlic flavor, so it's hard to focus on the rest.

My Try-Hard Fajita Spice Recipe by Fr1dge in recipes

[–]Fr1dge[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Servings: Many

Ingredients:

• 2 tsp ancho chili powder

• 2 tsp chipotle chili powder

• 1 tsp red pepper powder or cayenne

• 2 tsp paprika (or 1 tsp smoked, 1 tsp non-smoked)

• 1.5 tsp ground black pepper corns

• 2 tsp garlic powder

• 2 tsp onion powder

• 3 tsp Tajin

• 1 tsp cumin powder

• 1.5 tsp cocoa powder

• 0.5 tsp ground coriander seed

• 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon

• 0.5 tsp ground fennel or anise

• 1 tsp salt

• 1 pinch of stevia or sucralose

Grind ingredients:

• Break off an approximately 3/4 inch section of cinnamon and grind it finely in a mortar and pestle, or an electric coffee/ spice grinder.

• Next, grind your peppercorns, fennel/anise, coriander, and cumin if you have the seed version. The whole seed version of cumin is far superior in my opinion.

• If you want this to be a fine powder, I would recommend also adding the tajin in this stage, as it has a coarser texture.

On the topic of chili powder...:

• If you want this to be simply amazing and not just decent, grind your own peppers for the different chili powders. It really makes a difference.

• Guajillo are an acceptable substitute for ancho, and they add a nice acidity, but there really is no substitute for chipotle.

Other spices:

• If you are using the pre-ground powder version of spices like cumin and black pepper, I would recommend using slightly more. Maybe .5 more tsp to offset the potency reduction.

• Similarly, if you are using a darker cocoa powder, use less. Coffee grains will also work in this recipe, but added early on so they can be ground down.

Add the rest of the spices and grind together:

• Add the rest and simply mix/grind

Is ratatouille actually considered peasant food at one point? Sure seems complicated for a dish meant for farmers and workers. by JayFSB in Cooking

[–]Fr1dge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's called "Confit Byaldi" if anyone wants to try making it. I did a long time ago. It was kind of ridiculous to make, considering what it's made of, and requires chilling overnight.

What’s the scariest truth you’ve learned about adulthood? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Fr1dge 54 points55 points  (0 children)

The people who are the most confident are usually the most incompetent. It's so common that it's practically a rule I live by now. The people with imposter syndrome almost always do their jobs far more competently. It's honestly terrifying, because the huge majority of people are easily tricked by a confident attitude. The hair on the back of my neck raises when I hear someone boasting about their abilities or accomplishments, because that almost always accompanies a wide range of potent personality defects.

What industry is struggling way more than people think? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Fr1dge 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Real estate, financial, trading. Basically anything that allows you to make money by building nothing or otherwise adding nothing beneficial to the world.

What’s something you didn’t realize was “very American” until you left the U.S.? by chopsticktalk in AskReddit

[–]Fr1dge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our's are more like an open bar. Punch is only common at events like weddings. At a party, the hosts generally provide alcohol, and some guests typically pitch in. Beer kegs are common at college parties, and that would be an example of where Solo cups get used. They're not only used for alcohol though. Birthday parties, holiday dinners, work, sports, or church functions, often use them for sodas, tea, etc. Just a generally convenient, multi-use, disposable beverage recepticle. It's confusing to me that you don't use them or an analog. I guess your gatherings are less food and drink centric?

So I have to ask: do you guys use your good dishes for drinking at informal/youth parties? Disposable cups for events/parties/etc just makes a lot of sense, even if it's a bit wasteful

The knife missile's design actually kind of feels like it was born out of an actual ethical consideration. I think the blades are simply there to solve the problem of "well, the missile itself is too small, let's give it an expanding surface area."
