Trolls R Us Resurrections

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, absolutely looks like a bland (?) diner meal that would have cottage cheese as a side!

:rofl:

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. 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 … :slight_smile:

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.

I do not like yogurt, sadly.

I do love me some roasted troll though. Slurp!

I make an excellent troll shawarma, but I marinate the chunks in yogurt. There’s a lovely flatbread I serve it in, but making it’s a pain in the ass.

Would it work with Onken strawberry yoghurt ?

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. Apparently there is an upswing in Jeffrey Epstein Conspiracy Theories.

So if any new users come in with an Epstein OP, please flag. The username might be more subtle next time.

lol.

(discourse)

Well you know the insta-ban will just make them believe you’re part of the conspiracy.

This conjecture is predicated on the idea that a RWNJ troll is capable of learning from experience.

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.

Could take a while.

#TheUnbearableWaitOfMassiveTruth

What_Exit does live in NJ, right across the bridge from where Epstein died…

You know he didn’t kill himself, right? It says so right on Wikipedia!!

Wow. Conspiracy theories about his death aren’t new, and perhaps they are plausible. But I wasn’t aware of any conspiracy theories that he was innocent.

OK, I’m clueless, and a fast google didn’t help. What does the phrase “massive truth” have to do with Jeffrey Epstein?

“Massive Truth” as a username just rings of Conspiracy Theory Nutter.

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.)

Puts me in mind of editors on Wikipedia trying make sure that the encyclopedia had “THE TRUTH”.

I dealt with them frequently as an admin. Some people really struggle with the idea that objective facts you can verify are more important than your beliefs.

That’s just, like, your opinion, man

Or the male star of an amateur porno. Same diff. in the end.
