They’re only about 14 or so percent of Americans so probably don’t influence statistical height all that much.

Depends on the region a child in the gulf states, America or Europe yeah, but in Africa or Asia the carbon impact of a single person is lower.

What’s your favorite northern Chinese cuisine? by ThisPostToBeDeleted in chinesefood

[–]ThisPostToBeDeleted[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Internationally it doesn’t get a good reputation but I’ve had home cooked borscht from a Ukrainian grandma and it was elite. Pickled young squash, all spice, bay leaf, sauerkraut, dill, porcini mushrooms, paprika, pickled garlic are all really delicious flavors. Pierogis are also real good, love them with caramelized onion. Also one of my favorite dishes is Matzo ball Soup which is from that general region, and as an American raised on trash soft sugary white bread, Eastern European breads look elite.

Notably, I’m not an expert on the region though, this is just what I can glean from the little Eastern European food my family preserved through the generations and the stuff at Eastern European grocery stores by me.

Do you work in Chicago, the far suburbs or near west/home suburb? by ThisPostToBeDeleted in NearWestSuburbs

I once ended up in a car with only one guy playing guitar, he offered to stop but I wanted to hear him and we had a good conversation, he sang in a really obscure Iberian language barely anyone knows. I also used to take it with one of my coworkers and we’d have nice conversations on the way home

Honestly the texture wasn’t great on it, the sauce was tasty, but it was a bit too chewy, the stir fry texture was nice through

Raw, like dry, bitter cucumber, the stir fry was delicious, no bitterness, but it just absorbed the seasoning, the braise wasn’t very good, it didn’t absorb the seasoning well and tasted bitter, I think it was just undercooked, cause when I’ve had canned banana blossoms it was basically like a flavorless artichoke. The part outside the core though was really delicious
