The idea that blood pudding is seen as disgusting by so many is really funny to me, because 95% of meat eaters who think so would love it if they just weren’t told what it was. Texture- and flavor-wise it’s very much in the mainstream of Western food.
Same thing with horse meat.

You have to eat one European culinary horror. Which one are you choosing? 🤔

@AlexEthridge it's not quite the same, but BeetBox has excellent shawarma and a hummus plate to die for.

I am devastated to learn that my beloved Coffee Zone is no more, & replaced by some yuppie BS brunch place called Sage that looks like it'll care more about the marketing than quality food. I don't want $15 avocado toast — I want incredible gyros served to me by a friendly face.

@stinkyboyphil Thanks for the kind words, but the 40-odd of us who are not our Autobot are humans …

@robweir No, on Market St. I think the one you're thinking of was Pizza Bistro

Good news about a classic Wilmington restaurant potentially reopening. And you know the StarNews file photo is also a classic when @robweir has the credit.

@JohnStatonSN Lol. This wasn’t the pizza place in the Cotton Exchange, right, unless I have my geography all wrong?

@robweir I think it was a review? It's also possible it's the most recent pic of Elizabeth's we have 😂

I did not know there was an earthquake in Almaty, but I respect the hell out of “I want to sleep”
Aigerim Toleukhanova@aygeryma
Waking up in the middle of the night as things start falling from the shelves. It felt like magnitude 5-6. Outside is -15C. Some small pushes are still felt even now. But I remain in bed because I want to sleep 😴 #Almaty #earthquake

In the Trump immunity case, Judge Pan says Trump lawyer Dean Sauer has conceded that there's no "absolute Immunity" because Sauer's actually arguing prosecution after impeachment and conviction is permissible.  This concession, Judge Pan notes, invalidates one of the main arguments Sauer raised in favor of immunity before the hearing: that the doctrine of separation of powers means the judicial branch can never sit in judgment of the executive branch.

For my english speaking buds in here, to let y'all know what's happening in my country:
At 9 PM today Javier Milei came in via national broadcast to announce the nullifying, by a DNU ("Necessity & Urgency Decree" - so a presidential edict), of around 300 laws, featuring...

@ClarkMyWords @FriendOfThurlow @InezFeltscher There wasn’t a coordinated national party organization in the way we’d think of it today. Rather, local printers/publishers/leaders had a diffused sort of leadership that culminated in national conventions, but only once every four years.

@ClarkMyWords @FriendOfThurlow @InezFeltscher It had been born out of what Lynn Marshall called “the strange stillbirth of the Whig party” (AHR Jan. 1967, v. 72 no.2) which is still a good framework for understanding the party. While local Republican leaders worked to build support for the antislavery platform 2/?

Amazing to watch this country remove a presidential candidate from the ballot. And these people imagine themselves the great protectors of democracy.

The Colorado Supreme Court just removed Donald Trump from the ballot under the 14th amendment. Even after a lower court judge in Denver who was a longtime Democrat donor ruled against. Because "Democracy" is when a handful of partisan judges prevent people from being able to vote for who they want.
