Okay, now I am incredibly hungry.
Dawn: I thought you were adequate. Giles: And the accolades keep pouring in. I'd best take my leave before my head swells any larger. Good night.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Mayo is repulsive on all things, though can be made into an interesting sauce with the addition of other crap
Mayonnaise is an abomination. That's in Leviticus somewhere, I swear it.
Someday, I will make homemade mayonnaise for you two, and make you recant this heresy.
I've never tried strawberries and balsamic vinegar, but that just seems wrong to me.
That's because you're thinking of American grocery store balsamic vinegar. Real balsamic vinegar is a thick syrup, and faintly sweet. It's nothing at all like vinegar as this country knows it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hey, can you make it with pork fat? My problem with mayo is my increasing intolerance for vegetable oils.
That'd ROCK.

If you can figure out how to make pork fat stay liquid at room temperature, I will whisk it into an egg yolk for you with some salt and lemon juice (and just a pinch of powdered mustard) and call it mayonnaise.

my contribution to the crazy food talk is that San Fran likes carrots and I think there is a east coast/west coast and also a north/south us divide in many of these issues.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I've had homemade mayo plenty times (and for that matter, made a good bit of it myself.) It's tolerable in limited contexts, which puts it way above the jarred stuff, but still in the category of "more trouble than it's worth for something I don't actually like."

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
It's like if 6 different recurring natter conversations suddenly exploded around mayonnaise.
Ahahaha!!! I was just about to post something like "Here we go -- Buffista conversation #34, with a little #18 thrown in for good measure."

not my actual opinion David, just an observation.
