Tbh I’d love a key, sounds like something I’d really enjoy!

I’m sorry what?

French woman here. I used to live in Damascus and I know Lebanon a bit. It was a wonderful place with great people (and dumbasses, obviously, but the great people were really great). Just wanted to say: I get it. I see you.

You made me laugh in the middle of a pretty shitty day. Thank you.

It was common in France until my dad’s childhood, in the 60s. There were commercials for Ricoré (half coffee, half chickory) in the 80s. AFAIK, you can still buy it in all supermarkets.

“Vegetables” are not A Thing. The word just means a part of a plant we eat as a savoury dish. Some are seeds (like peas), or pods with the seeds still inside (green beans), or leaves (spinach, chard), roots or kinda-roots (carrots, garlic, beets), or (baby) flowers (cauliFLOWER, broccoli, Brussels sprouts - all from the same recent cabbage ancestor), lots are fruit (pumpkin, zucchini, cucumber, peppers, tomatoes). I found it fascinating when I planted my first garden 5 years ago, knowing squat about nature. Veggies are just plants where your pick the good part.

Not a staple where I’m from, but aren’t there japalenos in there? Bell peppers ?

France. I fear I’d be driven out of town.

Oh thanks. I’ve come across the name, never seen one. TIL.

What is it? An ugly ham? A weird champagne flute? I’m lost.

I had no idea. Thanks for explaining!

What’s the story here please? I’m out of the loop. Why is he expected to register? Most young Americans don’t, right?
