Yes! I learned about this recently and to be honest, I was outraged haha. How I wish I could find a nice coeur de boeuf tomato for example…

You should do that both in times of peace, and in times of war.

I’ve had some once at a restaurant in Amsterdam that was grown in Brabant, the sommelier said with climate change it was similar conditions to Burgundy in the 70s, but I certainly couldn’t taste that hahaha.

Cheese wise, I like them a lot but indeed they feel maybe a bit more utilitarian than a delicacy (like a lot of Dutch food actually), I would say that some of the ones with more age are tough.

I like to say, the Dutch eat to live, the French live to eat ;)

Hey this cheese isn’t yours, it’s nacho cheese.

France agrees with you but also looks down on your cheeses and calls all of them “Gouda” even if not from Gouda haha

I’ve never tried Focal headphones but can confirm the speakers are the real deal 👌

Turkey has ton of cheap tourism coming from Europe I hear, but they basically just take you from the airport to the hotel and you don’t move from it.

Can’t right now but might check this out later, sounds fun haha.

In the end there’s just a massive mountain of empty wrappers on the couch, they stay there until the next morning.

Same in the Netherlands you need to take vitamin D tablets to survive the winter.

Europe has the gulf stream keeping it warmer, you can also compare latitudes of eastern Canadian parts that get -30°c in the winter and they’re like the same latitude as Paris (which clearly doesn’t get that cold).

Not every day you see a casual “cromulent” being thrown around.

Much appreciated.

Please link to some good metalpunk, if that exists.

If you order the legendary steak instead of the burger, they give you Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker to cut it.

It’s the XcQ that tips me off, personally (and, well, in this case, the thumbnail).

Bit off to call Heineken a “brewer”, they’re a massive multinational corporation that owns a huge chunk of the alcohol market.

These puretech engines are pure trash, like most of these modern combustion engines that use all kinds of tricks to lower emissions, totally unreliable. I have a Peugeot but it’s the electric version.

Next week, let’s bring back Ventrilo!

I think it’s mostly plasma actually.
