DID SOMEONE JUST TRASHTALK PEPPERONI?
Pizza heathen!

[Bassy]

I prefer just plain cheese nowadays. I do like pepperoni though.

Or how about pineapple on pizza? That is actually good.

[galled]

I like pepperoni, but I can't have it very often. I prefer plain cheese although ham and pineapple is good now and again. I love mushrooms pizza tho and can have that anytime! (But the carbs are killing me!)

[ShiroGEM]

Yes mur, fite me. c: <

Pineapple is alright on a classic Hawaiian pizza but I hate eating it on its own. Though pineapple cakes in Taiwan are really good as well. Sometimes I feel like pizza is an overrated food because everyone wants it at all time of the day. |D

[Lemon Cheesecake]

'm not a pepperoni fan myself, too greasy, but I will eat a piece now and again. I do like pineapple on my pizza and I like pineapple upside down cake (which has nothing to do with pizza - just cooked pineapple)

[ShiroGEM]

Cooked pineapple? I've never heard of upside down cake, is it popular where you are? Well it probably tastes better than raw pineapple lol. Processed meat in general is pretty greasy though >_>

[Diana]

Turkey and swiss has deli turkey, swiss cheese, and veggies. I like it with lettuce and onions only. Usually people eat it with mustard and mayo, but mustard makes my mouth feel funny so I don't use it.
Tritip is a very delicious cut of beef that doesn't seem to exist outside central california. It's a triangular meat that comes from the cow butt. It is usually pretty lean and when cooked right is so soft! It should be smoked or barbecued. It is then sliced thin for sandwiches on garlic bread.
PB and J are peanut butter and jelly sandwiches lol. I would die if I were you, peanut butter is amazing, I love it so much. I especially like the super chunky variations with pieces of peanuts in them. I didn't know peanut butter was bad for your skin? It hasn't done mine any harm. I have the best and softest skin out of anyone I know It is really calorie dense though.

Pickled garlic is about as half as spicy as raw garlic, and tastes salty and vinegary. About what you would expect from it lol.

Sausages are nasty. Have you had haagis? Talk about scary!

Ooh! Your french toast doesn't look that different from ours. We might put milk or sugar in the eggs before washing the toast maybe? I like the idea of making a sandwich before cooking the toast and having a yummy surprise center. Looks like the inventor's name was French: http://www.neatorama.com/neatolicious/2 ... -Its-Name/
And for french fries, looks like it is the language french that gave it the name and they are actually from belgium http://wonderopolis.org/wonder/belgian-fries
Snickerdhttp://wonderopolis.org/wonder/ ... riesoodles are amazing cinnamon cookies. Making bread is too much of a struggle because the yeast likes to be difficult. Cookies are much easier!

When it comes to superheroes, I like DC more than marvel. Spiderman is my favourite comic book hero. The Iron Giant is the #1 superhero though.
I wasnt a huge fan of pacific rim to be honest. It felt kind of funky, like it was a good effort but something big was missing and I have no idea what it was. It is interesting to see it cross the different cultures sci fi though, and I did appreciate actual asian actors for once lol. Pacific rim has a lot of "hey humans are the best" attitude, like american superhero movies. I had to look it up and it was written by a white guy. I wonder how different it would be if it were written by a japanese person?

We were only allowed to water our plants or wash our cars on certain days of the week, but I think that ban has been revoked. I don't really garden so I dont know. We had a ton of flooding when it rained last month, so I think the government is afraid to call it a drought anymore lol. When you have to move cities of people because a dam overflowed, I think you have enough water lol.
There is a ton of huge fires right now though. I think we actually have more regulations on fire than on water. Fireworks are a nono, so are campfires, and smoking outside... Doesn't stop anyone though :c

[ShiroGEM]

That sounds so delicious!! *p* I really like deli turkey but it's expensive. I don't like mustard much either, it tastes weird. Mayo is alright though.
No wonder i've never heard of Tritip, I don't think i've heard of meats made from cow butts either. xD It must taste very nice though, my mom doesn't really let me eat beef often.
I love peanut butter too! I think the "bad for skin" thing is a thing Chinese people say. I wished I could eat it anytime I want though. The chunky bits are alright but the smooth creamy ones are my favourite. What kind of jam do you put with yours? Can we trade skins? I have pimples often... goddamn puberty. >_>;;

Hmm if you put garlic in vinegar would it taste the same? We do that as meat dip too as opposed to soy sauce.

I actually wouldn't mind trying some haggis. I'm only scared of sausages and ham because it's so processed it doesn't even look like meat anymore. I've read haggis just tastes like any other kind of meat, what does it taste like to you?

Who has the last name of "French"... I would be so tired of French puns. It's weird that fries were named by soldiers though, as it was first made by the villagers. I wonder what they would've named it.
Omg yes bread is so difficult! My first batch tasted fine but the presentation was a disaster. ;; Cookies are really sweet though so I don't want to make them too often. Ughhh I want to give snickernoodles a try!

I was sure Spiderman was a Marvel hero? I need to read the comics but the DC movies just aren't as good. I feel like the character dynamics don't match up much and they need to build more on their traits overall. Well i've only watched the movies and i've heard the comics are better. Do you have any recommendations on where to start?
Pacific Rim wasn't the best but at least they tried. c': I'm sick of whitewashing. Have you heard that the Mulan live action cast had to be debated over whether it would be all asian?? And there isn't going to be any singing and the director wants to take up a "chick flick" approach. Literally pulling my hair out.
Well anime and mangas are usually written by Japanese people. From what I've seen they don't usually go for "superheroes amongst normal people" approach often. Actually ironically the most popular superhero animes all mock the nature of being "super."

I didn't know they regulated those. I only thought they would rake up the water prices or something. Yea I heard they also have a lot of fires. o-o Stay safe! There was a National Geographic documentary my dad recommended me to watch about how the water in California was being controlled. I'm not sure if you know anything about it, makes sense since water is a dire need for us humans though.

[Lemon Cheesecake]

water is such a necessity, you would think that we would take better care not to pollute our drinking water.

I found that the same cuts of meat can be named differently depending on where you live.

I knew someone with the last name French.

[galled]

I can't help but feel that water is being used to stick it to everyone. It's only a matter of time before this "model" is used around the world to extract more wealth from everyone. Next to health care, water and air are the ultimate monopolies...

[ShiroGEM]

@Lemon
I think people thought "if we don't dump stuff directly in the water it'll be fine" but nah c': it soaks up the toxins in the soil too. We don't usually specify the type of beef used because beef is beef? xD Oo is it a common last name?

galled
Air is technically already monopolised in China since people produce cheap things at the cost of the people's health. I believe water is already monopolised but in a more subtle unnoticed way. It's not hard to do so to be honest since large corporations already can decide where resources are allocated. >_>

[Lemon Cheesecake]

toxins in the soil that leak into the ground water is becoming more noticed now and unfortunately because of illness and deformities in the towns people affected by it. But you are correct, toxins in the air go into our water as well as what medications and chemicals are flushed down the waste system and although there are filters available for drinking water I don't think that they are able to remove all toxins.

[dragoness129]

-snuggles everyone and keeps it active- ^_^

[ShiroGEM]

Ugh yea that's an issue too! I remember a report about rice in China bioaccumulating lead that was in the soil and now I avoid eating anything grown in China. c';
Thanks Dragon!! Sometimes I miss the notifs about my own hangout what is this |D

[murmurlade]

1/5th or more of the land in China is contaminated and almost 8 million acres is supposed to be so bad it's completely unusable.

Man, that toucan pun of the summer event...
