macaroni & cheese on bar menus


Honestly it should be required to be available everywhere. Even at the ER. Public restrooms....

Omg the most am thing in my eurotrash opinion: cheese cans. The fuck

nathom, Sunday, 3 November 2019 17:55 (six years ago)

If it makes you feel any better, the section of my supermarket that sells genuine cheese is approximately 100 times larger than the square footage where canned 'cheese' is displayed for sale.

different cheese sections for proles and bourgies, with the latter over by the salami: an american thing?

(i'm a tillamook man and they have the right idea working both sides of the street: motorcycle battery of cheddar over here, "we stuck some peppercorns into an ounce of also-cheddar and left out the food coloring, give us $9.50" over there)

sometimes mac and cheese is the only good thing on a bar menu.

Cricket is much better for ridiculous double entendres.

Tell it to Meatloaf!

Really though is there a Brit equivalent to president progressive sexual “scoring” i.e. first base, second base etc.?

Suggest Banshee (Hadrian VIII), Wednesday, 4 December 2019 12:34 (six years ago)

disregard “president” damn thumb

Suggest Banshee (Hadrian VIII), Wednesday, 4 December 2019 12:37 (six years ago)

No, rounders isn't that popular.

You can actually bowl a maiden over in cricket!

people don't get hives outside the USA?

weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Wednesday, 4 December 2019 16:13 (six years ago)

nah there are beekeepers all around the world

"Big Joe Fuck and the Bogalusa Maniac" (bizarro gazzara), Wednesday, 4 December 2019 16:15 (six years ago)

I meant skin hives — itchy welts caused by allergy or stress

weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Wednesday, 4 December 2019 16:34 (six years ago)

the bee population is in global decline, i imagine beekeeping must be pretty stressful

"Big Joe Fuck and the Bogalusa Maniac" (bizarro gazzara), Wednesday, 4 December 2019 16:40 (six years ago)

bees live in "tower blocks" in the UK

i think in british english they just call that a rash?

#FBPIRA (jim in vancouver), Wednesday, 4 December 2019 18:54 (six years ago)

Ha, that's right!

I've Got A Ron Wood Solo Album To Listen To (Tom D.), Wednesday, 4 December 2019 18:55 (six years ago)

A rash is different than hives. Hives ime are like individual welts whereas a rash is more diffuse and has more points of irritation (many small bumps, for example). You can get them both from contact with an irritant or from mental stressors, but they are not the same thing. ime.

Maybe in BrE the technical term “urticaria” is in common parlance

Swilling Ambergris, Esq. (silby), Wednesday, 4 December 2019 19:49 (six years ago)

(Australia has the skin version of hives too ftr. "Hickeys" started to take over from "love bites" in the '90s afaik, as with many other slang terms in Hollywood teen movies. no idea what #youths today call them)

insecurity bear (sic), Wednesday, 4 December 2019 19:50 (six years ago)

We're lessy fussy about stuff like that over here. I'm sure there are regional names for hives, though I still don't really know what hives are... or is.

I've Got A Ron Wood Solo Album To Listen To (Tom D.), Wednesday, 4 December 2019 19:51 (six years ago)

Lucky you who have never had a hive! They are utterly unrelated to hickeys aside from being skin welts visible to the naked eye.

weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Wednesday, 4 December 2019 19:53 (six years ago)

I'm sure I have had a hive and I'm sure I just called it a rash!

I've Got A Ron Wood Solo Album To Listen To (Tom D.), Wednesday, 4 December 2019 19:54 (six years ago)

The NHS apparently calls them hives but I've never heard anyone use that word irl.

I suppose we should mention zits here as well.

plukes

insecurity bear (sic), Wednesday, 4 December 2019 19:58 (six years ago)

Exactly.

I've Got A Ron Wood Solo Album To Listen To (Tom D.), Wednesday, 4 December 2019 19:58 (six years ago)

so this is a list of colloquial names for skin problems?

weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Wednesday, 4 December 2019 20:00 (six years ago)

i had a period of acute urticaria with some angioedema of the eyes and lips recently. lasted for about 4 weeks, responded to antihistamines, was (seemingly) idiopathic.

hive are not fun

#FBPIRA (jim in vancouver), Wednesday, 4 December 2019 20:00 (six years ago)

(xp) American names for skin problems.

Why is the song "Please Mr. Postman" and not "Please Mr. Mailman"?

I've Got A Ron Wood Solo Album To Listen To (Tom D.), Friday, 6 December 2019 20:05 (six years ago)

Good question.

having A/C on 24/7 but keeping the butter in the fridge 24/7 anyway

Li'l Brexit (Tracer Hand), Friday, 22 May 2020 16:10 (six years ago)

People keep butter in the fridge? (Assuming you mean butter that is in the butter dish to be used soon, not backup butter)

Je55e, Friday, 22 May 2020 16:17 (six years ago)

oh yes!

Li'l Brexit (Tracer Hand), Friday, 22 May 2020 16:17 (six years ago)

I don’t know if people who do that. It would make the butter hard to spread.

Je55e, Friday, 22 May 2020 16:18 (six years ago)

yes, yes it does!

Li'l Brexit (Tracer Hand), Friday, 22 May 2020 16:18 (six years ago)

Wait, Je55e?!! Hello!

silby, Friday, 22 May 2020 16:19 (six years ago)

we keep butter in the fridge and I don't really know why. I personally never spread it on anything and only use it for cooking.
