My ethnic heritage is mainly Norwegian, Polish, Slovak, and Welsh. I was born and raised in the upper Midwest of the United States. It makes no sense that I believe the spicier the better, always always always. Anyone else?
Title may be confusing, couldn’t think of a more articulate way to phrase it. I’ll explain it by giving my example: Phnom Penh, Cambodia. We spent a day going to Tuol Sleng, which was a Khmer Rouge prison and torture center, now a museum. From there we went to Choeng Ek, the largest of Cambodia’s many killing fields, and now a national park. I studied history in college, I’m a history nerd. I was horrified by everything I saw and learned that day, but I can’t say it wasn’t super interesting. This was in 2004, which means it was only 25 years after the fall of the Khmer Rouge. Which added an extra degree of horror.
Full disclosure: I’m an American who loves shitty light American beer. I’m just curious if anyone from countries like Germany, Czechia, and the UK also developed a taste for it?
And a quick, halfhearted defense of what we have the nerve to call light“pilsner” beer: When it’s ice cold, it’s amazing with really spicy food. Some people say seafood as well.
Someone recently asked about percolator coffee, which I’ve never had, but it reminded me of this picture I took in an antique/vintage store. I’m wondering if anyone here has tried it.
