My ancestors are smiling at me, Imperial. Can you say the same?

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I do not have nearly enough Mormon blood on my hands for my ancestors to like me.

i think eating fried butter is the usual penance for that

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago (3 children)

The fuck region are you from where they fry butter?

[–] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I, too, need this information. I now know how and when I'm going to die, I just need to know where.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

i was under the impression it was standard united states midwest fair food. freeze the butter, beer batter, fry.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Course it's the fucken Midwest, love em but I swear those lands have the same properties as the Black Forest or the bogs of Scotland. Which is to say the region is collectively insane in a very particular way.

Kinda, but it's also just an area in which Scots and Germans intermarried and built a culture together.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago

That's what I was referencing just as a joke about the environment driving them nuts. I'm descended from Scots who were hanging the frontier until the 1870-1880s so our family recipes are a bit unhinged on first glance since they are meant to be filling Incase you don't get to eat for the rest of the day, for example chili and rice with a bit of corn bread mixed in.

I'm pretty sure that's Scots.

Same place that gives you fried coke

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Why would you fry the cocaine?!

[–] faythofdragons@slrpnk.net 3 points 4 months ago

because it's delicious

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Yeah, German ancestors get really happy when you endure pain for the pleasure of it
