I miss the cajun flavored Ruffles, almost as much as I miss the ads with the cajun guy talking about cajun flavored Ruffles. I garrrrrontee it.
Oh, so pinto beans and greens ain’t good enough for your multi-cultural ass, huh? How long you been livin’ in Austin? And lambs? Ain’t that pretty much like sheep?
Under-age sheep, which makes them more or less attractive, depending.
Austin, schmaustin. I am a proud Houstonian. Do like my food cute though.

I’m beginning to feel that we may have strayed slightly from the serious Habakkuk questioning promised in the OP.
Truly, the thread has been greatly improved upon by switching to a far more interesting topic. Really, you pick anything, and it would be more interesting.
Next up: watching paint dry. The Drylympics are this summer. I’m betting heavily on 16 hours, 12 minutes, and 33 seconds.
OOC- if the troll in question were more creative, it could be amusing to pit him. But I’ve never seen a more dull or transparent one.
It wants attention. I say anything else deserves more attention. Let’s talk about the health of our colons for a while.
No, let’s not.

Parcheesi strategy, then?
Why? They’re just an alternative version of hush puppies, aren’t they?
You just made Texans’ heads explode all over the state.
Based on this pic, they sure look like hushpuppies.
Look. Let me help you and PizzaGuy out. You make your parsnip salad, with the 8 carrots and the head of cabbage and the celery/cucumber (my gf hates celery) and the lemon juice. Keep in mind this is, like, 4-8 servings. Two of you wouldn’t eat it all at once.
Then
You take some Peri Peri (or if you can’t find that, cayenne), taco seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, SUGAR, and play around until you approximate the Doritos dust. You sprinkle it liberally on the parsnip salad, and now it tastes like Doritos only it is actually something your body needs if you have literally never consumed one single parnsip in your entire life.
I expect the Doritos dust recipe is mostly taco seasoning. You can do it. If it took WD 40 tries, you can give Doritos dust a dozen whirls. You said you’d snort it, so give it a go!
Or, you make the salad, blend it into a paste, and use it as a dip for your Doritos. It’s a win-win situation.
Well, lose-lose, really, but I am assured that this is mathematically the same.
And “radish” is totally rad!
Phoenicia offers exotic foods–raw or prepared. The Downtown location is really handy for those wishing to avoid an expedition to arthest Westheimer.
Sometimes, shawarma really hits the spot…
Hint 1: don’t play with Abuelita. Yes, I know she’s dead. Doesn’t matter. I once saw the woman eat five other pieces from a single throw of the dice (are they called pieces in English or do they get a more specific name?). She was superb at teaching people how to play, she taught us many games, but none brought out her inner barracuda the way parcheesi did.
Damn, I miss those games, on that round table covered in pictures of her children and grandchildren…
It is kinda of sad that hummus itself, however, has a name like a sex act from the seedier sections of the Kama Sutra that only gets talked about in hushed, ashaned tones.
Ummm, by “eat” did you mean to convey that Abuelita would “capture” those pieces,* or that she literally consumed them?
Forgive me for being dense, but from some of the things I’ve read from you about your family, something as terrifying as that doesn’t seem entirely implausible…
*(yes, that is the common term, although I think I may have come across the term “pawns” some time in my misspent youth)
