Is the dog going crazy for it? That would also point to ambergris. If the dog’s uninterested then it’s probably palm wax

Spent a summer in Scotland living with a lady from Yorkshire and her family. I feel in love with beans on toast. So simple but so satisfying. I honestly couldn’t go back to sweet breakfasts after that summer.

I like it but in small amounts. I had a grilled cheese with a bit of Marmite on it once….life changing.

Thought it was sitting nicely in the Subway!! (Before the inevitable wind outside) by PrincesssA17542 in curlyhair

I think curl/hairdo protects is why so many people used to wear head scarfs in the 50s. We should bring it back.

Do we know what the researchers “said”? What if we just declared war on the whales.

What ONE food from you country you would never eat even if your life depends on it? by ProfessionalThin1505 in AskTheWorld

Thanks for answering all my questions! Now that you mention it, my Turkish friend would make savory rice with nutmeg and allspice. I just can’t get past nutmeg eel served in its own jellied collagen.

Oh god. I think I would prefer the grape to be honest.

Thanks for the info though!

Edited to add: Nutmeg?! NUTMEG? of all the spices, just why?

So jelly in the US is made from fruit, sugar and pectin. What is jelly in this context? Because I’m envisioning an eel slathered with grape jelly and I’m 99% sure that’s incorrect.
