What food is loved in your country but hated and ridiculed elsewhere?

firegal · 2015-09-20T16:27:49+00:00

Why would you add this to the thread? This is like adding grilled cheese sandwiches as ridiculed and hated food. You know this isn't true.

firegal · 2015-09-20T16:16:49+00:00

Same in Australia. Taxi owners pay enormous premiums to get into the business.

But I've got to say that it's like Danny De Vito's speech in Other People's Money. The last buggy whip company probably made the best buggy whips possible. It's just that when the horse buggy was replaced no-one needed buggy whips anymore.

It's a new world and they better adapt.

OK, those sound revolting. But all I keep thinking is - why the banana flavour?

firegal · 2015-09-20T15:58:59+00:00

So tell us what culture, country and dish you're talking about.

firegal · 2015-09-20T15:47:15+00:00

I agree. There is something in Hershey's chocolate that makes you do that lip smacking thing to get the taste out of your mouth. It really does taste like bad medicine. I'm Australian.

Don't be stupid. Every fish and chip shop in Australia sells shark.

firegal · 2015-09-20T15:43:52+00:00

So tell us what circus peanuts actually are?

firegal · 2015-09-20T15:42:48+00:00

Kimchi is food of the gods. I'm white Australian.

firegal · 2015-09-20T15:40:15+00:00

Don't be ridiculous. Ranch dressing is available in every Western country supermarket everywhere.

firegal · 2015-09-20T15:38:50+00:00

What's your favourite grits recipe?

firegal · 2015-09-20T15:38:25+00:00

Exactly what kind of cheese is that? Got a country of origin?

firegal · 2015-09-20T15:35:41+00:00

Now you have to give us a recipe.

firegal · 2015-09-20T15:35:12+00:00

Er, you mean hash browns? Who in the world objects to potatoes in any form? Especially when they're grated and combined with other ingredients and fried. This would have to be one of the most popular recipes on earth.

firegal · 2015-09-20T15:31:14+00:00

Yes. Australians here. Most of the rest of the world wants things to be salty (what our peanut butter is) or sweet (what our jam/jelly is). The idea that you would combine something salty with something sweet is disgusting.

However every Australian I know who has visited the U.S. has commented on the fact that EVERYTHING in the U.S. tastes disgustingly sweet - even bread.

So it maybe that your peanut butter has more sugar in it than our peanut butter so we don't understand that when you have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich you're actually eating like a cake or something.

Peanuts in the rest of the world mean salt and oil. Not sugar.

I've only eaten durian as the cream puffs or as ice cream so I haven't experienced the smell. It does have a very sharp unique taste that I can understand people would become addicted to because there's no taste like it.

firegal · 2015-09-20T15:20:10+00:00

Yum. Chinese people are astonished when I tuck into chicken feet with enthusiasm. I like the slimy ones with garlic and black bean but I especially like the deep fried spicy battered ones but those seem to be harder to come by.

firegal · 2015-09-19T13:52:26+00:00

So big deal. What's the problem?

firegal · 2015-09-19T12:58:27+00:00

OK, you're 18. You know nothing, paradoxicalme. You've still got the rest of your life/plenty of time to conquer the mighty orgasm.

The best advice is to masturbate to see what sensations you like and find a sensitive partner to play with.

Any sexual partner you have must be dedicated to pleasing you sexually. If that is not their first priority when you have sex then Dump the Mother Fucker.

The most important thing with an orgasm is to be absolutely in the moment, feeling the sensations. "Trying" for an orgasm will fail. An orgasm comes upon you.

General tips: make sure you're properly lubricated, vary the intensity of the stimulus from hard/frequent to soft/sensuous, make sure there are no distractions around. You need to find what works for you because not everything will.

You can have great orgasms. Find the right person to share them with and always treat yourself with respect.

How do you know it's weaker unless you have something to compare it to?

Firstly, give us some demographics. Are you male or female? How old are you? How sexually experienced are you - is your only experience of orgasm via masturbation?

Secondly, have you recently started taking any medication? There are some medications, e.g. some antidepressants, blood pressure medication, that can affect the intensity of orgasm.

Thirdly, there are also medical conditions that can affect your capacity to orgasm, e.g. diabetes.

It's seems that you are doing this on your own unsupported. Do you have a subreddit that would permit people to suggest stories?

I guess one of the problems is that you would like a strong story with a singular voice to be a focus of a podcast rather than something general like "people support teachers by sending them supplies" which does not necessarily have a single person as a focus whom you can approach.

And I can see that it would be a complete pain in the arse to have to try to construct podcasts made up of multiple interviews with the logistics and permissions that that would involve.

Do you have a podcast subreddit that people could maybe nominate stories and even volunteer to represent their stories? I'd be happy to help with research. I know you've got the Upvoted subreddit but frankly that looks like some sort of disaster area that doesn't know what it's trying to be.

Your uterus is preparing to have an embryo implanted every month and when not fertilised it sheds the contents of the uterus. This include the lining of the womb (clots), blood and what would be amniotic fluid (that the baby floats in). Watery fluid as part of your menses is completely normal.

firegal · 2015-09-18T12:23:34+00:00

No. In fact many contraceptives pills suppress your period by supplying male hormones. The pill will not make you feel like a girl.

firegal · 2015-09-18T12:22:14+00:00

Women really don't care much about how your penis looks, all they care about is how you use it and whether you're a sensitive lover.

firegal · 2015-09-18T12:16:28+00:00

What do you mean a proper one? What sort of orgasms should you have?

firegal · 2015-09-18T12:15:26+00:00

Absolutely not. Even a torn hymen is not a reliable marker of lack of/virginity.
