StephanieL Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 The original shipment of Passover goods I'd ordered got damaged by UPS so badly that they discarded it. Hoping the replacement shipment gets here in time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sneakeater Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 (edited) What's the big deal about fish milt? When they serve it in a Japanese restaurant, no one makes a stink about it. I remember one week I had cod milt in a Japanese restaurant one night and cod roe in an Italian restaurant the next. I thought I'd give birth to a cod.

Orik Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 I just finished curing cod roe as if it's karasumi (as the actual karasumi is running out) And the best and most ridiculously sized thing ever is fugu milt. It's like the fish version of quail testicles. eta: like - 1 pound fish vs cod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

small h Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I keep emailing them to complain that various words (like "bended" and "unindicted") are not allowed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't make heads or tails out of what food items they accept and which ones they don't. Same with dog breeds. And they don't accept MAZEL either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sneakeater Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Years ago I was playing Scrabble with some friends and whatever trumped-up dictionary they were using as an umpire didn't have "nonet". I mean like what the fuck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

small h Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 (edited) Spelling Bee also does not recognize certain dicey words like nappy and bimbo (gigolo is fine, though). And the other day I learned that this 100% legit (albeit unpleasant) word is verboten as well. Edited April 16 by small h Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
