dear artists, wannabees and office-hunks: STOP GROWING BEARDS AND MOUSTACHES! they looked shit on most of the men in the last century. maybe you're too young to remember, but they were just plain ugly. really. and if you mix them with fancy neon 80ies couture remakes, please please hide in the dark.
- I have to agree that unless you're des lynam you're exactly half as attractive with facial hair as without.shitehawke
- then again my facial hair resembles a twelve year olds first attempt at the bum fluff tache.shitehawke
- I disagree. A well-kept beard can look fierce on the right face.gramme
- I have to disagree with a mustache done right. Hipster beards are a different story..cotton

Goretex hiking boots.
No matter what the marketing says, that material heats up like a bitch, trapping in sweat and making a perfect little environment for gnarly blisters. No thanks.

- Not 27 club worthy in my opinion, she is there solely because she died at 27 years of age, musically -- comparable with lots of other artistsdrgs
- If she died at 28, none of us would know who Janis Joplin isdrgs
- We know who Duane Allman and Gram Parsons are and they were younger.CyBrainX
- No idea who they aredrgs

Spicy food, hot peppers etc
Never understood how its supposed to make the food tastierDiscuss
- Clearly three quarters of the world has it wrong whilst you're knee-deep in Rømmegrøt.Nairn
- Not because of the taste
https://socialscienc…drgs - In our part of the world people only pretend to like itdrgs
- I'm never going for dinner at yours LOLnecromation
- You wouldn't go for dinner at my place for other reasons, but by spicy I mean hot (capsaicin), which does not add anything to either taste or aromadrgs
- Only makes your heat sensors burn. I do enjoy the occasional horse radish or mustard, spices with a bite to the olfactory, not heatdrgs
- Chillies have flavour, you know! I can't stand really hot food—i don't see the point in a chemically-burnt tongue, but I love a bit of heat on most of my food.Nairn
- Asian countries were adding pepper-based heat to their food waaay before chillies from South America appeared on the sceneNairn

- It may well be a culture partly-borne of hiding past-best meat, but that doesn't explain its use in vegetarian or fresh fish meals. *shrug*Nairn
- Also, herb spices were originally used to mask the taste of bad meat in the middle ages. It has become a part of our food culture, but in 90% of the cases herbsdrgs
- drown out the taste of meat completely. I despise the use of rosemary in the Italian cuisinedrgs
- That's not really true. Spices HAVE been used for that, especially in Medieval Europe, but we've been flavouring food to make it taste better forever.Nairn
- You're like my friend who rages against the use of Parsley as "It dusn't taste of nuffink, *grouch*" whereas I can't get enough of that shit.Nairn
- I'm with you on excess of rosemary though, although I don't see that as a particularly Italian problem. It's a herb that's very easy to overdo.Nairn
- I like dilldrgs
- Of course, because you're a Scandi.
I've actually only very recently developed a love for Dill - a friend made a simple salad with it recently and I was in aweNairn - People who put rosemary on an otherwise perfectly decent steak should be taken out back and shot, imho. I appreciate this is a bit of an extremist position.Nairn
- I've just realised - of course - Dill Salad friend is Swedish, lolNairn
- I'd accuse garlic more of covering over the flavour and reducing the impact of old meat, over chillies.Nairn
- lol, -7. Peeps be real protective of they heatNairn
- This isn't discord. shut up, nairn.Nairn
- I had an idea for a cooking show where all contestants are given a minimal set of ingredients (identical chunks of meat and a little bit of salt)drgs
- And they compete in bringing out the best flavor,
Not seasoning/combining different aromasdrgs - *slapNairn
- I'm not saying that zero spices is better. For amateur cooks seasoning is primary (and they use a lot of it), and the main ingredient is secondarydrgs
- Shots firedNairn
- It's more than just flavor, the heart rate goes up & stimulates different parts of the brain, shit is healthy yoYakuZoku
