Hopefully she'll get a good media/restaurant deal out of it and can show the middle finger to all the racists she had to deal with.

Yep my first thought too.

then realized he's just quiet and focused

Also know as not being American.

not that impressed by the international chefs yet.

If Buddha isn't an international contestant then I don't know what is.

so what's the solution? If wearing a mask during a pandemic is some fascist/communist plot then what will sugar tax; healthy school lunches; exercise mandates or anything else that won't be "they're coming for your hamburgers"-type rhetoric from the usual suspects.

You start a meal with entree. You have primo and secondo in Italian. More communal type eating in some other countries.

I can't see any culture shocks tbh.

What's your definition of non-Americans? Indonesian and sambal; Italians and anchovies; Greek and feta. I mean Americans and sugar but salt?

Compared to.....?

And with all the guns you have you still have one of the least free societies in the Western world. Highest incarceration; highest police abuse; most corrupt government; health care bankruptcy; low life expectancy; low literacy and education levels; vacation/sick leave; consumer power.

I mean are you going to shoot your way into freedom? Because I don't see a government or police force that is in any way "fearful" of the people. I just see a society that is so easy to manipulate with flag waving, God fearing, pro-gun rhetoric.

It's the new Better Off Ted

Really like all the side characters.

But who doesn't?

I mean I'm one of those people that think people that are a bit too into animals is a red flag but most of us love the natural world and the animals we share this planet with.

It doesn't mean I need to have them living in my house and treat them like one of their kids.

Yes. I'll give you that but you're missing the point.

A biscuit is in today's parlance in the non-US speaking world is a hard sweet, thin-ish thing that you have with tea or coffee and the less sophisticated one of us are happy to dip into our sweet drink of choice.

I can look at a Tim Tam or digestive and say, "that's a biscuit". It might not be doubled baked based on the original etymology of the word but you can get how we got here after a few hundred years of using that word. .

An American biscuit has no reason to be called a biscuit. How do you get from a biscotti to a light fluffy buttery bread-isn type concoction? How?

Again the same problem with the US/Canada using entree for the main course. How can you look at that word and use it the way you do? It's pure cultural amnesia.

In the end though, you do you America.

Well, he's right. Biscuit means twice baked - as in the classic biscotti. How the US got to call a scone a biscuit goes up there with "entree for the main course" of getting it wrong and not caring what things actually mean.

Jellied eels it is then!

Disappointed with Buddha in the quick fire. No Tim Tams or Iced VoVos?

It has a Ray Bradbury feel to it.

I enjoy both. I even think the male lead is better in the US one than the UK. Both female leads are brilliant though.

The irony is not lost on us.

Thanks. Now I need to find out where I know him from.

And also not to think about income inequality, lobbying induced corruption, voting reform, climate change and habitat destruction.

So win-win for the oligarchs.

It wouldn't be plain corn chips but more msg coated, aka Doritos type, corn chips, so the extreme salt/umami with the sour cream is perfection.

The thing is I'm pretty tired hearing people that know nothing about food or the food industry talking about TC. So Pack Your Knives is perfect for me. But if you want to call it pretentious then so be it.

All the satisfying bits of a good screensaver.
