Stupid thread but I can see the need for it after trying to wade through the other threads here this morning.
Some people need to grow thicker skin around here or start using the ignore feature.
Why should one be obligated to ignore?
For thread integrity, and my sanity.
Thank you. I keep mistakenly opening the Democratic candidate thread thinking I'm actually going to learn something about the candidates. After scrolling through a page of the Swedish wars, I went straight to the last page, only to see the discussion has turned the improved manufacturing of SUVs.
Then Sweden should be focused on making Sweden great again. Manufacture some hats that say MAKE SWEDEN GREAT AGAIN
Herring for the masses!
Herring makes my eyes water just like chopped raw onions. Here's a song for y'all To tie this thread all togethe. It doesn't have to necessarily make sense.... such as a toon called WBPT https://youtu.be/NkfiOoQSRY0 Enjoy, please do not slice it and dice it SC

Never tried herring, but you guys are definitely talking me into it, lol

Pickled herring for the masses!
My dad loved that stuff - on brown rye, with butter. Same with sardines. Nasty to me, but he asked me to at least try something before declaring it was nasty.
So I did try it and made my proclamation. He was proud of me for making an informed decision
That song up there is a good reminder that I need to get back to listening to The Highwaymen again. "But I am still alive" - fuckin' A.
Great piece about how the song itself came to be. This part made me smile:
"Eight years later, Glen played it for Johnny Cash. He was making a quartet album with Willie, Waylon and Kris Kristofferson. There were four verses to “The Highwayman.” Talk about predestination. I don’t know how they decided who would take which verse, but having Johnny last was like having God singing your song (laughs)."

So what's that herring dish that's in a white sauce called? A long time ago I went to a buffet for dinner and I saw thing yummy looking stuff that I assumed was a marshmallow cream kind of dish, so I took a bunch of that. That was the first thing I dug into, expecting something sweet and delicious. And then-- WHAM!-- this overpowering salty fish flavor hits my palate and I nearly lost it all, right there!

Denmark has been named the world’s best country to live in, according to the statistical analysis (2019 ) by the CEOWORLD magazine, with Switzerland Finland, Australia, and Austria rounding off the top five. The ranking looks at 70 countries around the world. As for European countries, they occupy 8 of the top 10 spots in this year’s ranking.
Egypt, ranked last, while Iran, Kazakhstan, and Vietnam were also rated near the bottom. Despite still featuring at the bottom of the quality of the living list, the Philippines and Vietnam have witnessed significant improvements related to both safety and health services.
In its Quality of Life Rankings For 2019, CEOWORLD magazine analyzed more than 70 countries to determine which ones are the absolute best to live in for both business and life.
The magazine has also compiled a ranking based on personal safety, which named Qatar as the safest country to live in, followed by Japan, the United Arab Emirates, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. According to the personal safety ranking, South Africa ranked bottom in 70th place, and Brazil scored second lowest in 69th place.
Quality of Life Rankings for 2019, evaluated 70 countries and surveyed more than 120,000 people from four regions (the Americas, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East and Africa); places were graded on eight attributes.

Look at the rest of the article for descriptions of each column but the US does beat Sweden in Quailty of Life: 179.2 to 178.67. And even with all our crazy guns here we have a better "Personal Safety" number than Sweden.
I do believe this is the "I hate Americans" thread Part Two, even though Meltdown didn't intend for it to be.
You are correct, I never intended it to be a hate America thread...but if someone wants to hate on America in this thread...let them. I certainly do not have a hatred of America...

@brianlux 🤣 Herring in cream sauce (sour cream). I grew up with it, my mom would serve it for the holidays (Jewish).
Love it, so good!!! We put apples in it though
That it, JPP. Enjoy!
(And pass the marshmallows, please )
I'll bet most of you have never had Zepalini. Its awsome. Very hardy but wounderful. I certainly would never have the patience to make it myself. https://youtu.be/wrdQZGkgaws

I love how this thread has now become the Food Network. It is delicious it's ground pork and ground beef in the center of a potato mash that they make into like a football (zepilini means blimp in Lithuanian so it's like a potato blimp with the meat in the center and then they dribble bacon gravy on top of it with some sour cream. BAM!! lol... It's awesome. It is classic to Lithuania as the cheeseburger is to the U.S. But much harder to make than the cheeseburger.

Its always about food!
Oh Great Chef Of The Future 👩🍳 I don’t cook so that’s out of the question of me attempting this dish.
Bacon gravy- dear gawd, that must be fantastic!
I looked up Lithuanian restaurants and what came up were Ukrainian or Polish restaurants that I have been to and they serve pierogis. I want the real deal. I’ll continue searching.

My mom's side of the family is 100% Lithuanian and I have never had the privilege to try this dish. I am going to have to do a little research and give it a go.

Then your mom and her side will know what it is. My wife's mom makes it for us when we visit LT. every 2 years. And that's about as often as she makes it. Every 2 years lol.because whatever they do to those potatos (run through a grinder, remove moisture, stuff the meat in the center of those things & then boil them in big pot. is a lengthy process. Nothing easy about it it takes her all day pretty much. Cold beet soup is another good one my wife makes once in a while. Not nearly as hard to make.

Denmark is very interesting.
You're correct, mrussell shouldn't have been speaking for you all when he said that no one cares about data. Presumably some of you do.
Absolutely! But still, the discussion goes as it does.
I would say that’s surprisingly good statistics!
