For the record, Chez Zmayhem not only drinks root beer, but we drink a wide variety of them and rate them and prefer the fancy ones.
You know, this does not suprise me in the least. What are your favorites? What makes them stand out to you?
Oh, my god. I scare me.
You don't scare me. You reassure me that some of my, ummmm, proclivities are quite normal. AIFG!
Bacon pancakes, people. Burrell had some. I had a taste. OMG. It's heavenly heart horror.
I'm really craving pizza right now. I have no pizza. Instead, I'm eating chickpeas sprinkled with nutritional yeast. Which are good, but not pizza. But I'm being good B-12 girl with the yeast, so at least there's that.
I like cilantro, red and yellow grapefruit, green and black olives, root beer, and yes, bacon. I'm easy that way.
I interrupt this food discussion with a question that's unabashedly, well, gross. I'd ask on my main writing list, but all my CPs are there, and I want them to come to this scene virgin, all the better to gauge if it's as horrifying and traumatic as I'm trying to make it. Whitefonted for the squeamish:
Seagulls eat carrion, right? So if there were a bunch of unburied bodies on a beach, it'd be a feast for them?
I don't understand the vegan cheese recipes where the flavorings are just nutritional yeast, mustard, and garlic. I mean, I can see how a sauce with those flavors would taste good, I just don't see how anyone would put that together and think "tastes like cheese."
Though, granted, I've never tried it.
Susan,
as far as I've seen, seagulls will eat just about anything. I've seen them eat hot dogs, so I'm sure they'd eat carrion, too. The only thing I've ever seen a seagull take a bite of and then walk away from was a pickle.
Susan, sailors who survived shipwrecks at sea were often attacked while they floated, still living. Like any other opportunist, gulls went for the eyes first, to incapacitate their victims. Yes, they'd feast on carrion. why are we whitefonting?
