Down the rabbit hole

No beans. Add black pudding.

This makes me think of Spam.

Nooooo. It is a spreadable meat paste. Like pate

Like liverwurst?

And “meat paste” - this is why you use the French words. “Pate” sounds refined. Meat paste sounds nauseating.

Says the man from the country that has grits

 

[Apisto42]

Grits is better than “corn meal mush” you have to admit.

Too far. You took it too far.

What are the two burned things?

And why is the bacon always semi-cooked and . . . floppy looking?

What she said!

 

[Wand3rlust]

Corn meal mush?

Seriously???

What even IS cornmeal?...

Alas, you can tell @Apisto42 is not from the south.

Grits and cornmeal mush are not, in fact, the same. Grits are made from hominy.

What even IS cornmeal?...

Cornmeal - a coarse flour made from grinding corn kernels.

I feel like that should not be confusing.

As in 'hominy hominy '?

I don't think we have cornmeal here.

For reasons.

But I will check.

 

[Wand3rlust]

Ah. Polenta.

 

[Qky75]

Ah. Polenta.

Close
...but no

I prefer polenta to grits

Polenta is the only ground cornmeal we have over here, unless we import from you lot.

 

[Qky75]

For the nerdy and although nobody will care

Polenta comes from flint corn...different taste, texture, color and starch level. It is coarse ground.

Grits are from different varieties of dried hominy...corn treated with lye and dehusked. Grits are fine ground

They taste similar but polenta is more delicate I think.

 

[Apisto42]

What are the two burned things?

The round all black thing is black pudding. It was soft and delicious. The other dark thing is a mushroom cap. Also delicious.

And why is the bacon always semi-cooked and . . . floppy looking?

It was more cooked than it looks, and it’s really ham, not bacon.

You did previously?

*note: wand3r is not as smart as she comes across.

I don't know that your life is any worse off for not having various corn products available lolol

 

[Wand3rlust]

Wow.

That wasn't a complaint. More an observation...

Really? I think of this as the other way around.

Why am I having such an issue recognizing mushrooms?

That is just not typically how we serve them here, I guess.

I said the same thing. And why only one? Wth? I love shrooms!

It looks like a fried portobello mushroom to me. They can come whole like that or sliced with a fry up.
Also common to have button mushrooms too.
