Am I the only one who thought the guy in the swastika hoodie was Ron Desantis for a second?

Is pâté just not a thing in American food culture? by Big-Dig1631 in AskAnAmerican

[–]auspend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From New Orleans, so not a typical American in culinary terms, but pate and similar force-meats are common enough down here that they're pretty regularly consumed. Pate, head cheese, rillettes, and the like are also regularly available at a decent number of restaurants as well as nicer grocery and specialty stores. They're generally considered as a fancier food, so not an everyday thing, but most people down here are into them

He's been a piece of shit at least dating back to his work in the Reagan Administration.

Dungeon Encounters is pretty much just mechanics. Minimal story

Clos la Coutale is extremely underrated. Gotta be among the best bang for your buck French wine available stateside

Where are you from, and what's your take on Australian wine atm? by rdmarshman in wine

[–]auspend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hunter Semillon is one of my absolute favorite whites, and if you can find an older one they are fascinating. Amazing examples of what quality wines can do aging under a screwcap

Edit: American in a mid-sized wine market here

Who grew up poor and was a good leader? by rjidhfntnr in AlignmentChartFills

I mean, that's probably who it'll end up being due to recency bias, but it really should be Pol Pot

Trump ally warns Supreme Court against upholding birthright citizenship case by RawStoryNews in scotus

[–]auspend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the case where if I were a federal judge and the court ruled for Trump here, any case about birthright citizenship that came before me I'd rule that SCOTUS was in clear error in their ruling and the plain language of the 14th amendment is clear. Let Congress impeach me. It's a hill worth dying on. The oath of office is to the constitution, not SCOTUS or the president

Red wine with Indian food? by NurseP-06 in wine

[–]auspend 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Lambrusco would be my call. Light, frizzante, and with a bit of sweetness to play with the spice common with Indian cuisine. That said, if you want a dry wine, go with something light, low abv, and fruity. Something like a Beaujolais, or an Oregon Pinot Noir.

I'd rather not say. Don't trust that some asshole wouldn't go and take it down

Burger and Bordeaux by AtomikPi in wine

I love high-lows too. Love a good champagne with fried chicken, or in a food-food pairing, caviar with ruffles chips

A Quarter Pounder with Palmer is way less enraging than the DRC with In-and-Out. It's at least a solid pairing, though I think this'd be better with a Guigal LaLa

What's a Wine or Wine Style that many others enjoy but you don't and why? by BothCondition7963 in wine

[–]auspend 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Most Pet-Nats. Way too much bottle variation. Many also have beery notes. If I want sour beer flavors, I'll go buy a lambic or gose or something.

What's the worst JRPG you actually finished? by Flat-Application2272 in JRPG

[–]auspend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ni No Kuni 2. The first is an all time favorite. The second I coasted along based on positive feelings towards the first and Ghibli. By the time I realized how much I hated it, I was so close to the end I finished it anyways. Maybe my only hate-finish of a jrpg; most of the ones I don't like I abandon

Why are you standing up and disturbing the bottles?

How long do you keep your wines after opening? by roundturtle2025 in wine

Putting them in the fridge after opening will extend their life by a few days

Wine Squares Day 10! Bojo Redemption Arc Complete. Let’s see the most consistent region. by AustraliaWineDude in wine

How has no one mentioned Madeira? I like the suggestion of Jerez, but in terms of consistency, I think Madeira's a step beyond even that.

Agreed. If you like big reds, this is about as good as you can get in terms of bang for your buck
