Here be the twitter thread, the thread where we discuss the continued degradation and rot of everyone’s… favorite(???) bird themed social media platform after it became privately owned by everyone’s (least) favorite apartheid emerald failson (and certain financial partners with a penchant for having people literally hacked into parts when said backers feel wronged by them).


It’s also where we talk about national and global events of some import, in which case I would like to present Yamamoto Taro of the Reiwa party Having A Day in the diet as the LDP attempted to pass a law that would fuck over refugees applicants in Japan:


Reiwa Party leader Yamamoto Taro is facing punishment after he tried to use physical force to prevent the Upper House Judiciary Committee from approving revisions to immigration law that will make it easier for the govt to deport refugee applicants.

Two LDP lawmakers, Nagai Manabu and Wakabayashi Yōhei, are claiming to have suffered bruises/minor injuries in the scuffle. The revision easily passed the Committee with majority support from the LDP, Komeito, DPP, and Ishin parties:

    it's not cheddar nor is it trying to be

    it was originally basically cheese hotdog using trimmings of other cheeses, now it's a basic soft cowsmilk that melts easily

    american cheddar is a foul and fetid mockery of cheddars, though.

    Look. We know American cheese isn’t good. But it’s a fantastic compliment to other cheeses for meltitude on a burger or grilled cheese.

    You’d be hard pressed to find any current or former line cook who doesn’t count a simple grilled cheese with one slice of cheddar and one slice of American among their favorite meals.

    It’s a little bit trash, it’s slightly too greasy, but it puts in work.

    Ah, it stinks, it sucks, it's anthropologically unjust

    anyway, both cabot and cracker barrel make extremely 7/10 cheeses with some really legit exceptional ones for very cheap compared to imports

    are they 'good'? no absolutely not

    do they taste like childhood and melt perfectly? absolutely

    I've had some of the best food I've ever had in Cincinnati, but that's only because my cousin lives there and went to culinary school. I sure as shit won't check out any local "delicacies" like Skyline Chili

    Cincinnati‘s got some weird local food, but I think the weird local food champion is Utica (and most of Central NY, more or less). Except they don’t actually have weird local food. They just have regular food you can find anywhere that they give dumb names to and claim it’s a local thing you can only find there.

    During the couple of years I lived there, I was told with zero irony by locals that the following foods were invented and only found there:

    Stuffed rigatoni
    Focaccia
    Pizza without cheese
    Pan pizza in a rectangular pan
    Salad on top of pizza
    Fried ravioli
    Cherry coke
    Ham, egg, and cheese sandwiches
    Mint chocolate chip ice cream

    personally i never get a hankering for plain cheese, like string cheese or those babybel things

    i only ever want cheesy pastas, mac and cheese, alfredo linguini, cacio e pepe, all things that are like 2000 calories on a single plate

    I think you should give em the fried ravioli thing cause someone has to take the blame and it sounds like they're asking for it.

    There are varying degrees of juiciness, depending on taste. Nomenclature varies from stand to stand, but wet or dipped means the bread is quickly dunked in the juice; juicy even wetter; and soaked is dripping wet.

    I've had some of these where the bread is falling apart by the end of eating the sandwich, the original picture was just a promo shot from some restaurant

    Cornbread works, too! That’s my other favorite way to eat chili.

    St. Louis is also, kinda, the home of cotton candy (wasn't invented there, but the inventor first sold it at the St louis world's fair and counting for inflation, made literally a million dollars selling cotton candy)
