Carbonara or vegetarianonara or veganonara. Ramen. Orzo with eggplant and tomato sauce. Avocado and egg on toasted rye

Its not toxic but I personally find it cringey. Spice tolerance varies and that's fine. One can train themselves if they wish to experience spicy flavors. Making something incredibly spicy for no reason (artificial capsaicin) doesn't do a lot for flavor and is weird. Its a sort of wannabe machismo I see.

I was just about to call the vegan police on you

The 3x ones ARE tasty. I just need to add a bunch of fat to the broth to deal with the spicyness

Smørrebrød isn't just cold cuts on bread. It really is a whole dish and it is really quite good. It saddens me when people meme it to be "lmao bread lol". I also think it's sad that we don't give baking the credit it deserves. Danish bread is fantastic, it's some of the best in the world. Is it a hot meal? Kind of, you can put warm stuff on top, but no it is not a large stew. It's supposed to be a really nice lunch, and lunch in Denmark is generally cold.

Oh yeah no worries and no need to apologise. Its a pet peeve of mine and it's really just me being a crotchety old complainer. It doesn't have anything to do with Denmark it's just more general a thing about people mocking culinary traditions they don't really know or understand. But I get why it's done and it's completely fair, it's really just me being negative, so no need to apologise. But thanks

I gotta be honest, this is the one bit I just find plain boring and disappointing. It stems from being misinformed and incurious about other places and cuisine. I don't mean to denigrate you, I'm trying to explain why I'm not really playing along.

Individual, otherwise it would be chilipaste

That's Sweden, you're thinking of Sweden.
The slander of Smørrebrød I saw in the other thread did get under my nerves though

(approvingly) Saturday morning cartoon villain telephone. The type of phone you use to order henchmen or blackmail the UN or get bad news and then crush the globe that holds the rotary

lmao I never thought of that. It's a portmanteau of danish and english, it's how we describe when danes speak broken english
