What? I absolutely my internal organs, including brains, well-cleaned before serving, and cottage cheese, while not my first choice of sides with organ meat, is perfectly adequate. See a [traditional fried brain sandwich](https://www.atlasobscura.com/foods/fried-brain-sandwich-indiana-missouri), absolutely looks like a bland (?) diner meal that would have cottage cheese as a side! 🤣 ---

> [@thorny\_locust](#): > > A lot of the Greek yogurt in the stores, at least around here, seems to have had assorted junk added to it to thicken the texture. Here in Europe, lots of regionally specific products are controlled in terms of where they originate and how they’re made. Champagne is the famous one; if it’s not from the Champagne region, made according to the Champagne method, then it’s not Champagne, it’s sparkling wine of some variety (usually cremant). Similarly, balsamic vinegar, parmagiano-reggiano, etc., have strict rules about what you can put on the label, based on where it came from and what’s in it. Greek yogurt is one of these. If it’s not from Greece, produced following the traditional process, then it can’t be called Greek yogurt. No carrageenan or xanthan gum to fake the texture, none of that stuff. Territories outside Europe frequently don’t respect these labeling rules, because the EU can’t enforce its rules beyond its own borders. It does mean those products can’t be imported into Europe, but elsewhere, companies commonly use otherwise controlled terms to describe their products. There are some mutual trademark treaties governing this, so in a few cases the EU rules for certain goods are honored outside Europe; also, California Champagne is **[famously a weird exception](https://vinepair.com/wine-blog/loophole-california-champagne-legal/).** But Greek yogurt is not (yet) one of these internationally recognized products, so what gets labeled Greek yogurt in the US is not what Greeks would consider Greek yogurt, and it can’t be sold in Europe as Greek yogurt. The more you know … 🙂 ---

Just call it strained yogurt and skip the regional appelation. Or any of the various regional names, like _labneh_, _skyr_, _ymer_ or _hangop_. Personally, I prefer Bulgarian to Greek yogurt, anyway. ---

Wow, I just banned a new use with the completely normal username **Massive\_Truth**. First post was a long diatribe about poor Epstein being innocent.

If they were capable of learning from experience, they probably wouldn’t be a RWNJ troll. I mean, nothing is impossible, and it’s a good idea regardless of the hypothetical teachability of said troll. But it strikes me as slightly unlikely. ---

It says so right on Wikipedia!! > **[Epstein didn't kill himself](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epstein_didn%27t_kill_himself)** > > "Epstein didn't kill himself" is a phrase referring to multiple conspiracy theories surrounding the death of Jeffrey Epstein that dispute the official ruling of suicide by hanging. Epstein was an American financier and convicted sex offender with connections to powerful and wealthy people, and his reported suicide led to numerous hypotheses about the nature and cause of his death. The phrase became a now very famous and widely accepted colloquialism as well as an internet meme, gaining traction... ---

Ah. I see what you mean. It does read rather as if they think they’re going to drop their “truth” on you with a thud, squashing the opposition (which, around here, has probably slid out of the way unsquashed. Though possibly while providing a recipe for squash. – never mind me, I’m in the middle of a market harvest.) ---
