You may fascinate a woman with a piece of cheese 🧀

[–] rockerface@lemm.ee 28 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I am not a woman, but I would be fascinated too

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 23 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

Fun fact: if you are ever on a plane with a crying baby take a slice of cheese and carefully place it on the babies face. The parents will be so happy with you for calming the baby.

I read that on Reddit at some point. It seems like solid advise.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Roquefort works best.

I'm a man, but... what kind of cheese?

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)
[–] RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Tempting, yes. Add some variety and I'm in. I didn't have Epoisses in a while, and I'd love a good Brie. Taleggio! Oh god, I'm so hungry :-(

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 5 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Époisses is really good with a tawny port. At first glance it seems like a flavor mismatch as the port is quite strong, but it conjures up a magical honey like aroma, which is uncanny.

[–] RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Bank holiday in Germany prevents me from buying more cheese right now. All I have left is some Appenzell and Gorgonzola. Sheep's or goat's cheese as well. I have to check, but I think there's some port in my poison vault as well.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Ah, us swamp Germans don't let ~~bank~~ Christian holidays interfere with capitalism that often :p.

Another cheese tip, but one that's hard to get outside of burgundy, is Cîteaux. A really unique take on reblochon, that has a sharp, tangy note in it. I always pick that up when travelling through there.

[–] RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Labor Day, so no labor at all.

I think I had Cîteaux before, but I'm not sure. Whenever I'm in France I throw idiotic amounts of money at their dairy industry. And buy all the Belgian beer I can carry.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Your a person of great taste. If you read a bit of Dutch, I'd recommend this book:

💖 The bit I can read is just the overlap and similarity. But it seems there's an English version I have to check out. Thanks for the recommendation!

But the chicken looks like shit in a vase after like 1 day whether you water it or not.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 16 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Rookie mistake, you forgot to take the meat off and bleach the bones. Sure, it's a lot of work, but a glass vase full of chicken bones is a time-honored legacy.

[–] JoShmoe@ani.social 33 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Don’t you mean get “Us” a rotisserie chicken?

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 43 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You stay away from my chicken!

[–] JoShmoe@ani.social 18 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Just hear me out, what if instead it was our chicken?

[–] RejZoR@lemmy.ml 25 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Problem is, she's vegan, so she's against picking flowers and against eating chicken.

It's best you just save the money for a month or several and buy her LEGO.

[–] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 29 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Get out of here oligarch. No working man has LEGO money in 2025.

[–] epicstove@lemmy.ca 11 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Lego is like the modern version of roman families handing down their armor and weapons to future generations BC ain't no fucking way they affording a whole new set each damn time the Gauls start acting up.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 months ago

If they'd had Lego they could build fresh armor to fit

And no oligarch will spend 500€ on a crap LEGO car when a real (used) one costs less. And while Cada has much better ones for 200€.

[–] chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (5 children)

Wait, why are vegans against picking flowers? Broccoli is a flower! It needs to be picked before eating!

[–] flicker@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 10 months ago

Lots of vegans, and non-vegans, are anti-picking-of-flowers, because if you leave them to live, they live longer and look prettier, instead of wilting sadly in a vase until they're fully dead.

So for some people, it's better to give them a live plant, so they can kill it by accident on their own time.

I’d be picking them bones, know what I’m saying?

[–] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Or you can get her a hotdog combo and still have $3.50 left to spend for yourself.

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Three fiddy?

[–] FiskFisk33@startrek.website 12 points 10 months ago

or, like, a whole egg

[–] tang999@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

Just don't eat the chicken on the way home. You're asking for trouble.

[–] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 10 months ago

As an AroAce women I think the choice is very obvious :3

(Especially if garlic bread is a side dish with the chicken and maybe a salad)

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I can go out into a field and pick a whole cute looking bucket of flowers. Chicken it is.

The flowers?

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Also those Costco chickens are way better than regular grocery store chickens from like Safeway or whatever. They’re way bigger and juicier, I think they’re brined or something. It’s like other stores aren’t even trying.

Or get a chicken bake, a hot dog and a soda and still have money left over.

Edit: I just went to costco and their chicken bakes are 3.99 not 2.99 😭

[–] CleoTheWizard@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Do the flowers also contain concentrated microplastics?

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

Of course! What doesn’t nowadays…

[–] breakingcups@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Those are complimentary

[–] RedFrank24@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

The closest thing to flowers I ever received was a cactus. It died.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I like how this users history is just animal communities and shit posting.

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

What can I say, that’s all I’m good at 🤷‍♀️

[–] WereHacker@lemmy.ml 4 points 10 months ago

It is mayday after all. The theme should be bread and roses. You should have your chicken and the flowers too.

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 4 points 10 months ago (3 children)

LPT: If you want to keep her, you get her both at the same time.
