On the contrary, I'd welcome calm logical refutation, if anyone can muster it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3PJF0YE-x4

I don't think I can successfully help you, since you appear to be using your emotions rather than your brain here. However, others will eventually read this, so, for the benefit of a hopefully calmer and more rational posterity: First of all, your implication is ridiculous and misleading...

There is a good reason to use any and all terms: freedom trumps feelings in importance and value. Something is "hurtful" or "offensive" only if a person CHOOSES to be hurt or offended by it. It is literally impossible to speak without what you say bothering SOMEONE. An example: "It's...

I seem to remember large hunks of salt being sold in a boutique for big money as an "all natural underarm antiperspirant/deodorant"

Nothing is petty My perspective is, too much of life is "death by a thousand cuts". The chinese torture, not the idiotic song. My observations: Most people assume that bad things are inevitable, simply because they are common and longstanding.....therefore they conclude these things are...

Yes, likely among my mistakes, I did not use bottled juice, I squeezed an orange, an another mistake, I put in the pulpy interior as well as the juice. The prunes were my idea, sort of. I think there is a sort of special jar or can stuff the original recipe calls for. I used a rather tart...

Thank you so much for sharing those recipes. My perpetual challenge is scaling down recipes to serve one, and when it comes to things I've never made before, making smaller amounts in case of accident. For example, one fourth of a liter should make about one cup, right? nope, cutting the...

It was amusing to learn that a strictly traditional English breakfast calls for American beans, Heinz, and that Americans almost never eat that particular blue label variety. I live in Washington DC, so people from all over the world live here. As you might expect, a large percentage of...

Like most dishes, the classic English breakfast evidently has regional variants. It was my understanding that American rasher bacon is NOT liked or used in Britain, but rather something we in the USA might call a thin ham steak, or maybe we would refer to it as Canadian Bacon. From what I've...

Yes, I think one of my errors was I did not use plums. Can't recall what the original recipe said. I used a couple dried prunes. If I had it to do over, I think maybe I'd use raisins instead. I'm somewhat guilty of being a hasty and inattentive cook, so my failure at this should not...

Yes, I have heard about HP sauce being somewhat common in Canada. I may indeed have cooked it too long on too high a heat. The spices are indeed somewhat old, and the original recipe instructions mention spices that are not in the ingredients list. I may have simply put too many spices in...

I suspect I put in too much Tamarind paste. I completely concur, this stuff is obviously pureed chutney. Yes, it does sound really stupid to attempt an imitation of something you've never tasted. I'm sort of irrational in a lot of ways, I all too often let my feelings take over my logical...

It is a challenge, isn't it? The cliche of every strange meat: tastes like chicken. I'd like to try rattlesnake and maybe alligator some day. Back during a meat famine, there was a plan to import Hippos to America for food. Sort of absurdly, there are a lot of YouTube videos on perfume...

The username comes from when it was tough to register a username for an email address years ago, and that handle just popped into my mind. I think the inspiration was the sports car named the Stutz Bearcat, not that I know very much about cars or jet aircraft. I do feel the swing wing Tomcat...

Well, after sitting in the fridge overnight, the copycat HP is starting to mellow. Once you know the bitter will be there, it's less unpleasant. I will say, a complex flavor. Some people say it's the same as the American steak sauce A1, but I strongly disagree. I don't know if I am Irish or...

What I was hoping to hear was someone describing the taste of the real thing. Remember, I've never tasted the real HP sauce. That cash sum for the real thing was just too much for me to take a risk; what if it turned out I don't like the taste? So, I launched a copycat recipe project, that...

I am trying to make a sauce that is very expensive to purchase where I live. I've never tasted it. I found various Copycat recipes on the internet and chose one to scale down. It says it makes One Liter, too much for one person, so I tried to reduce the amounts by 75 per cent. My math skills...
