Of course the obligatory ew tomatoes.

If you're ever in South East Asia yourself, then as a regular of the region I would be remiss not to promote the King of Fruits for you to taste.

The Durian is the quintessential South East Asian fruit, and my recommendation is to taste those from either Singapore, Malaysia or Indonesia; these variants are only harvested naturally as they fall off the tree because the people enjoy the highly alcoholic taste of the ripe fruit. The Thailand version, however, is harvested younger as their people enjoy less alcohol and a crunchy exterior.

That is cruel

My countries leader a few years ago thought that it would be a good idea for us to get independence from the rest of the UK. Thank God 55% of us voted not to do something so dumb.

Side note I agree with Fast's hatred of tomatoes.They are bloody evil.

To be honest, I've never known anyone who'd eat Durian Jam nor Pudding; I don't even know where they're sold in the countries I've lived in, so my condolences to them.
The only version of Preserved Durian that I recommend would be an Indonesian snack called Dodol.

That Fermented Durian doesn't look edible; South East Asians don't ferment the fruit because it ferments itself as it ripens.
Once the skin has cracked open by itself, the Durian is at full maturity and should be eaten that day.

As for the rest, the official Western category for Durian is an Acquired Taste, so I'm unsure of whether you'd enjoy it or not.
That said, my recommendation is to try the original fruit before any derivatives.

Well I'm British. Do I really need to say what dumb thing we've been obsessing over for the last four/five years? Half a decade of listening to insecure racist gammon-faced football hooligans play at international politics, with all the grace of a hippo trying to play Moonlight Sonata on a burning piano while being electrocuted.

Even before my years growing up in Australia there's always been a big difference between Tomato Sauce and Tomato Ketchup.

For those out of the loop, Tomato Sauce is runnier and sweeter, beloved by anyone who is a child at heart.
Like Vegemite, it can be applied to almost everything to make it taste divine, but my favourite has always been the School Lunch Meat Pies in Sydney, which were run with the Butcher's union of sorts when I was a child.

Tomato Ketchup is what everyone else has in the World, and it could be better.

So the Dumb Discussion I'm actually referring to is by the other Countries I've lived in, when they ask what the difference is and why they should care ...

Exactly you can apply this to mustard sauce.In my country México everyone likes the classic mustard(some bitternes).Recently some of my family likes the honey mustard in my opinion i dont like the taste.I taste the honey mustard in San Francisco,in México its uncommon to see the honey mustard in any dinner.

Ninja edit xD

Re Scottish Independence and Brexit. Are they dumb discussions in the spirit of the thread or just discussions made dumb because politicos got involved? I read it more as wacky news story that most others would point at and go "eh?". I know taxis losing their monopoly is the subject of hot debate in many places, indeed basically everywhere the "ride sharing" services pop up, and even more so where they enjoyed a monopoly in years prior and grew fat and uncompetitive on that.

Mustard varies dramatically between places/countries of origin.

French and English, though grained and not is also a further subdivision, is the main option here. When talking about the American mustard (which technically does exist but I have never found it in the cupboard of any house I have been in) is usually just said to be yellow, and it is often quite amusing to see American tourists wander over and slather their food in it like they might the American effort before getting a spicy surprise.

Too many to list, and I can't stand listening to those incompetents (whom make decisions whether people agree or don't).

Democracy.

Agreed, here's a pic of my favorite mustard

I find that in areas bordering the south and midwest of the United States there are heated debates on whether tea should have 50 gallons of sugar in it or not

tabzer · Jan 9, 2021

Since we are posting photos of mustard. Japanese mustard tends to be more dry and pasty compared to American counterparts. It's also very spicy, like wasabi is, but it is a whole different kind of spice. It's used very sparingly as it's very easy to overwhelm the taste of whatever you dip into it.

Two spoonfuls of sugars at most and no milk should be put in it lol.

See some people would kill you for that opinion, it's a rough and lawless world out there among tea fans

I'm not a tea drinker, but milk tea is very popular here, and I prefer it sweet. In the states, the south has their famous concoction of sweat tea which uses sooo much sugar but no milk.

I second that opinion on milk tea, we make boba tea at the place I work and I love making it. Of course, I'll still take some stronger herbal tea on occasion if I want to feel posh or whatever

"Put your money into the ashtray and peacefully leave, before I must call the police."

In Japan, we have a popular actor who was caught cheating on his wife in very obscene ways. The wife apologized for him. People argue over this. I suppose she must be blamed for choosing a bad mate. I guess that makes sense, if she was a gold digger, maybe she is getting the embarrassment that she deserves. It's a luxury, to be able to argue about such things. Both of them must be spoiled.

WOW. So the only logic I can come to is that this custom was made by a man. End O' story :rofl2:

In Scotland milk tea is called baby tea :rofl2:

Japan is very patriarchal--but everybody, as a society, tend to be very submissive.

i personally find myself putting between 4 or 6 depending on the type of sugar, though in the past i've put up to 10 (like i said previously, i'm fully aware i'm weird)

I can't blame you - I have a preference for Tomatoes myself and a quintessentially Australian lunch is the Salad Sandwich, which is basically a sandwich comprised of Tomatoes, Carrots, Alfalfa Sprouts and Beetroot; I ate many of them for school lunch, whenever I couldn't get my Meat Pies.

It's always interesting to taste local flavours and I hope to one day visit your neck of the woods and taste some unique cuisine.
If you're ever in South East Asia yourself, then as a regular of the region I would be remiss not to promote the King of Fruits for you to taste.

The Thailand version, however, is harvested younger as their people enjoy less alcohol and a crunchy exterior.

The quintessential South East Asian fruit for me is Mangosteen. Durians you can find across the world because it's such a famous fruit. Mangosteen is a lot more unique, because it spoils incredibly quickly, so you can only get it straight from the source and if you find it in a country which is far away from the source it's probably already rotten.
But when they are fresh they are *so* tasty. Super sweet, sweeter than even ripe mangos.

isn't the wife the offended part who shall receive the apologize? instead she apologized for his husband for cheating on her?

why is this story sounds so weird and twisted?

I think "sexist" is the word you're looking for.
