Hopefully not, in the sense that slaving needed no help, even food.

A terrible chapter in this planet.

Btw, jerk seasoning originated from the Arawaks Indians, made then into
slaves.

The New Mexico troll would consider it a positive utopia. The "meat" sold
to the masses is grown in a factory. Heck, that makes SPAM look decent by
comparison.

"Scum-skimming wasn't hard to learn. You got up at dawn. You gulped a breakfast sliced not long ago from Chicken Little and washed it down with Coffiest. You put on your coveralls and took the cargo net up to your tier. In blazing noon from sunrise to sunset you walked your acres of shallow tanks crusted with algae. If you walked slowly, every thirty seconds or so you spotted a patch at maturity, bursting with yummy carbohydrates. You skimmed the patch with your skimmer and slung it down the well, where it would be baled, or processed into glucose to feed Chicken Little, who would be sliced and packed to feed people from Baffinland to Little America."

That's a good question - I don't know. I don't care for the trapezoidal
corned beef these days because it's mostly a gritty paste. It used to be
better but these days it's disgusting. The round can corned beef is a
lot better but it wasn't carried in stores when I was growing up.

Because of the growing Samoan/Tongan/Pacific-region population, we now
have round can corned beef! We also have canned wahoo, which used to be
available only in Samoa. Life is good.

Those canned stews never made much of a splash over here. I can't say
why - we probably got too many food choices. I've seen the Mary Kitchen
Hash but have never tried it. I'll have to buy a can and check it out.

I bet tinned wahoo tastes a lot like albacree, yes?

It's really not bad at all.

If you like Spam fried up it's comparable as a basic breakfast item, and
with two sunny side eggs on top and maybe a sprinkling of fresh chives,
nothing to pass by.

That said, fresh cooked corned beef that's been chunked and fried up
with cubed spuds and onions rules always!

I haven't had poi in a year nor am I big on canned meats. You must be
imagining that we're living and eating like it's 1940. You probably
think we're living in grass shacks and dance the hula-hula all day. The
truth is that you have no idea what we're eating here. Making comments
about things you have no idea about is just about as ignorant as one can
get.

We got American food, we got Pacific islands food, and we have Asian
foods. The best stuff is food that's a fusion of everything in the Asia
Pacific region. Any new food trends from Asia pretty much goes through
us first before it gets to you guys. What the heck is this Spam and poi
nonsense?

I'll have me some of that please!

Our little group was going to make and sell Jerk chicken because we have
a new member from Jamaica. Hopefully, this will come to pass. I'm not
sure where we're going to get pimento wood for the fire though. We got a
lot of kiawe aka mesquite over here but no green pimento. You'd think
we'd be able to get jerked chicken here since Jamaican reggae pretty
much destroyed contemporary Hawaiian music.

I think the kiawe will do a really nice job.

I like the round can best, the ones from New Zealand. It is actual
corned beef in there not a ground up paste.

Per week? That's a LOT of milk for one adult or even two.

I love cornstarch puddings, haven't made it in a while (chocolate is
the family fav but I also make butterscotch).

One adult. Milk in my coffee, milk with my oatmeal, milk with
breakfast for dinner, milk with a BLT (not that I eat a BLT every
week), occasionally another glass with a protein-light meal. It
adds up pretty quickly.

No lactose problems here.

I go through about a half a gallon of milk per week. I drink milk. I
cook with milk.

OTOH, canned milk has a lot of associations with race and class: Mexicans, latin Americans, low-class cooking, cheap cooking, dirt poor folk, the depression, people without refrigeration, white-trash cooking. Making snide remarks and letting innuendo do your dirty work is fairly cowardly. Saying you don't like canned milk because it's low-class or Mexican is reprehensible but at least it ain't cowardly.

Kiawe would be very good but it's probably more important that it taste authentic. We got to make the Jamaicans happy or they be disappointed and we be embarrassed - a serious loss of face. OTOH, there's not that many Jamaicans here. Hee hee.

Between my wife, son and myself, we use about 5 gallons of whole milk a week.
Yesterday, the supermarket had quarts of 40% cream nearing last sale date
marked down to $1.99. I bought 3, and took one to work for coffee. This
morning with breakfast (leftover beef stew) I had a large cafe au lait.
Now I'm having a second one. Day off today. I've been working late shifts
the past several weeks, and that's about over. My old person brain needs to
be asleep at midnight.

http://www.npr.org/sections/health-s...er-may-kick-in

I REALLY like my job these days, but late evenings are a deal breaker. One
good thing about working for a fairly low wage is that I could easily make a
lateral move without taking a big money hit.

Me either, but if I go through a gallon of milk/cream (combined) a
month, that would be a lot.

Last glass of milk I has was when I was about 15. Never like it but my
mother made us drink it when we were kids.
OTOH, I like every milk product made. I eat cheese, yogurt, sour cream,
ice cream, and even a good milkshake.

Likewise. I stopped drinking regular milk at an earlier age than you.
I drank buttermilk. Milk is something that I use for cooking.

Everybody's different. I enjoy a glass of milk, but I'm not one of
those people who thinks cheese makes everything better. I use cheese
as a convenient source of protein, but generally only with a meal
that is otherwise lacking. The only time I eat cheese on a burger
is my roughly decennial, desperation-driven visit to McDonald's.

I've never been able to fit milkshakes in. Too much for a beverage,
not enough for a meal, and I prefer salty snacks. Nowadays I try
to buffer sugar consumption with a balanced meal. If I yield to
temptation when someone brings treats into the break room, I'm sleepy
an hour later when the sugar rush is over.

<shrug> I like milk. I drink it all the time. At one point a doctor
tried to prescribe something for me and said you can't drink milk when
you're taking this. Then give me something else. I drink a glass of
milk at least once a day.

Yeah right. I'll bet you go there often but you are, for some reason,
ashamed to admit it. lol..

I do McDonalds maybe 2-4 times a year. I'll do Burger King Whoppers a
bit more often. I do NOT care if it's crap food or not. I like the
stuff and I'm not embarrassed to say it. YMMV.

Whenever I finally keel over and die, I seriously doubt it will be
because of fast food.

Wasn't it Andy-Panda that always ended his posts with....chased down
with a tall glass of cold milk?

I rarely drink milk these days but I do wonder if maybe I should? Does
anyone know here? I've always enjoyed cold milk with home meals but I
just drink water anymore. Milk for me lately, is just for coffee and
cooking.

If I were ashamed to admit I go there every 10 years, I'd be ashamed
to admit I go there at all.

I don't like fast food. It tastes bland and overcooked. The best thing
about Wendy's is you can get some hot sauce to disguise the taste of
the burgers.

My husband and I will stop at Wendy's if we're traveling and need a quick
lunch, and I'll go to McDonalds by myself. The last time I was on my way
home from visiting my mother in the hospital. I realized dinnertime was
closer than lunchtime, and my last meal had been breakfast at 6 am. A quick
Big Mac later and I was back on the freeway.
