it throws me when every food item that goes between two other food items is collectively called a sandwich, including burgers, french sticks and baps

and the kfc double down, which frankly is genius

reverse-periscoping (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 27 February 2018 06:09 (six years ago) link

Americans are preoccupied to the point of derangement with the ontology and, indeed, teleology of sandwiches

Are breakfast sandwiches an American thing? They surely would never be invented anywhere that already has sausage rolls

direct to consumer online mattress brand (silby), Tuesday, 27 February 2018 06:29 (six years ago) link

i don’t know what constitutes a breakfast sandwich in america, but we do indeed have sandwiches which are specifically for breakfast (bacon, eggs &c.)

....silby do you kno what a sausage roll is for real

it might be much better than you imagine

Haribo Hancock (sic), Tuesday, 27 February 2018 08:15 (six years ago) link

ooh that reminds me. breakfast tacos are definitely an American thing

I do know! I daydream about them every so often. That’s what I’m saying, breakfast sandwiches are good but sausage rolls would seem to fill the evolutionary niche.

I googled for photos of the sausage rolls at the bakery near my old house and found an internetful of people trying to recreate them at home

Haribo Hancock (sic), Tuesday, 27 February 2018 19:22 (six years ago) link

important to note that sausage rolls and flavoured milk is the breakfast of choice for the australian tradie (working man)

(their selection ain't as gourmet as the wonders from bourke street bakery but)

milquetoast malone (King Boy Pato), Tuesday, 27 February 2018 20:31 (six years ago) link

there's a bourke street bakery?

reverse-periscoping (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 27 February 2018 20:37 (six years ago) link

click the link

Haribo Hancock (sic), Tuesday, 27 February 2018 20:52 (six years ago) link

(there are now eleven!!1 locations, only one is on Bourke St)

Haribo Hancock (sic), Tuesday, 27 February 2018 20:54 (six years ago) link

properly hilarious since the only bakeries i know of on bourke street are kenny’s and bread top, the latter of which puts a sausage in a roll but has somehow created an entirely unique monster

afaik the Bourke St in Sydney is a couple of years older than the Melbourne one, though they were both named for the NSW governor of the time

Haribo Hancock (sic), Tuesday, 27 February 2018 22:24 (six years ago) link

Objection overruled - Americans have no idea what to do with Trump. And yet he's yours. Maybe smash 'im?

my wife roasts the seeds after carving them for halloween but the rest gets chucked out. one of my cats will sometimes eat the pulp but other years isn't interested at all. he's obviously a pumpkin connoisseur.

Colonel Poo, Wednesday, 28 February 2018 22:25 (six years ago) link

My dog ate one I'd carved once.

Referring to women as 'guys'.

Buff Jeckley (Tom D.), Friday, 2 March 2018 02:03 (six years ago) link

I worked with electronic hardware and software engineers for a decade. They called electronic components and software modules "guys". I have little doubt that civil engineers call the high tensile strength fasteners in highway bridges and ten story steel skeleton buildings "guys".

Grumble. Have to use an API (served by a British company!) and the fucking wankers are using US date formats. WTF is wrong with these people. Anyone not using YYYY-MM-DD to represent date values in datasets should be sent to the gulag.

The belief that 7 vacation days and 3 sick days a year is not only reasonable but very generous.
