I learned of this aussie many years ago from some British acquaintances who toasted drinks to him (causing me to inquire). When I think of the word 'hero,' (an overused term IMO) his face is among the few that pop to mind. Seeing this meme made me remember that he passed away (made the news here in the States). While certainly not funny, I think everyone, no matter who you are, can and should appreciate just what a fantastic human being he was. His donation rate worked out to be once every three weeks I think.

Totally don't get it.

Please don't worry about it. I got used to it months ago. :tearsofjoy:

I keed. Kinda. Please don't call me brosuf/brochacho

Seriously though, it might depend on how granola your area is. There are some fervent, hardcore "food is medicine!" people who sell food (organic usually, of course) at farmers markets. They can be a little zealot like in their beliefs, knowledge of human physiology, ailments. I've run into a few juice weirdos, nothing too bad really. I actually expected worse, I usually get freebies.

Says spearfish but looks like a swordfish to me. I've heard big billfish can get pretty aggressive, I believe it more now. I bet the crew were glad he brought dinner. 0:15 wtf ahoy

Switzerland? Quebec? I can't tell, but it needs to catch on in the States. I'm slightly outraged to be living within the Cheddar Triangle yet have never encountered this hot wheel-to-table action. Give me that and Korean food and I am set.


That's Switzerland, and it's raclette, not cheddar.

You can find the home version of this locally:

https://www.amazon.com/NutriChef-Raclette-Countertop-Paddles-Skewers/dp/B01JIBOFQ6

Kinda of a common family meal growing up in Switzlerand--the French part, anyway--and most families will have these home electric ovens.


But yeah, the vendors that spike the wheels and shave off the top layer onto your bread slice is hard to beat. They mount the cheese wheel on this big thingy that looks like a spinning wheel, and it has a small flame at an angle over the exposed slice. You rotate it closer to the heat, using the turning wheel on the device, and the top layer melts, scrape it off onto the customer's plate. Often bread or pickled things, or potatoes like in that pic.

With the home ovens, you would use the top surface to grill the accompaniments, like the gherkins or veggies or small potatoes or whatever, and you put single slices of raclette in the trays beneath, that melt for each person to scrape off. Traditionally, you only eat fondue with bread, nothing else; but with a raclette, you eat the typical items that you will find Americans eating with Fondue. ...I think we just mashed the idea all together into one sub-par version. :D
