food

Telling my family here in China of what the western diet is is always fun.

"So the working class would often go to a petrol station, known as a "servo" to the locals, and purchase something called a "sausage roll", which is sausage mince wrapped in high fat pastry."

"As the whole lunch? There are no other dishes?"

"No, it's basically entirely unseasoned except for a small amount of salt. It is often paired with a miniscule amount of tomato sauce, though. They would then also drink a sweetened iced coffee or a soda. The Anglo Australian has meat consumption rates rivaling that of a Mongol, but with a fraction of the exercise or excuse"

Oh god I watched a few of these and they were kinda sad and depressing. Like this old bloke in a threadbare jumper scraping margarine onto a digestive and calling it a meal

Distraught at the knowledge that I like ham and cheese sandwiches.

intriguing

The lunch of suffering.

I really hope we get reliably good ubiquitous translation, because I really want to lurk Chinese social media.
