    These Meanwhile segments are one of my favorite parts of your show.
    Very mentally-stimulating.
    Downright poetic, at times.
    And it seems like it would require considerable practice in order to master the delivery
    in the way that you deliver it.
    This alone gives meanwhile an impressive factor that any artist is going to respect.
    Some of the segments seem to have an encyclopedia of research behind them.
    You have elevated the crafting of Meanwhile to an artform.
    This one here is short. But you have done some that are much longer.
    Some just seemed to keep going on-n-on.
    You are a national treasure.
    These are dark days we are living through right now,
    and you somehow find a way to make us laugh about it.
    Laughter is therapeutic, you know.
    I always feel better after watching your clips.

      As an American, I'm saying I am truly jealous of this ketchup flavored popsicle. I have done some time in Canada and certainly have come to enjoy ketchup flavored chips.
      But having lived in Southern California for several decades, I have recognized a lot of similarities between ketchup chips and Latino based chip products ...even the ones from Lays chips (my favorite being the 'Chilé Limon' flavored Lay's chips).
      Street food in Southern California is incomparable to any of the place in the US, let alone Canada (except for poutine although that's not street food).
      And all this to say that there are similar items here in SoCal (although not in the popsicle form), and so I'm thinking you should perhaps maybe give it a chance....
      or come down here to LA, and enjoy fresh fruit sprinkled with Tajin and/or Chamoy. You'll find it anywhere in the streets of L.A., and certainly in Mexico.
      I really wish I could get one of those popsicles to taste, but I have to think there's no way for me to get one down here without it being a liquid mess.

    The seeds for Dijon mustard come from all over the world. The seeds from the Burgundy itself play nearly no role in the mass production since decades. It can be called "Moutarde de Dijon" if only the end product was manufactured there - with ingredients from wherever.

    • @nco1970
      @nco1970 2 года назад +6

      It can also be produced elsewhere. 'Dijon Mustard' name is not protected, no AOP, no IGP, only the recipe is protected whereas the Burgundy Mustard is protected, IGP. Which means that Dijon Mustard could contain ingredients produced anywhere but also be manufactured anywhere, as long as the recipe is followed. Whereas the ingredients of the Burgundy Mustard must have been produced in Burgundy and it must have been manufactured in Burgundy.

    Fun fact, here in France, the Mustard Shortage began about a month ago with shelves being empty regularly. I was in the aisle with the condiments and I overheard a rather amusing conversation between an older French Lady and a retail worker. The lady asked when they would be getting in more mustard and the worker explained that due to a drought in Canada there was a rupture in stock. The old woman said incredulously 'You mean France doesn't make its own Mustard???'. Bless that lady's little heart, she does not understand Globalization very well.

      it is basically the same for all of europe. A mustard producer nearby only got about 3 tons of seed when needed 300 tons to keep all of its production lines alive. The so called medium spicy mustard is sold out for Months now for most of the original branches with only one branch left that basically paid higher prices to get enough seeds for production.
      Also as mustard seeds are an ingredient of many German recipies of sausages and different dishes as well it is not only mustard itself which is hitted by this shortages

    If Kraft wants the name to reflect what people call it, they should name it "Mac and... what the Hell is that powder? No, that's not cheese, that's powder. That powder is as much cheese as Cheez Whiz" (which, unironically, is also a Kraft product).

    I can't stand that yellow acid thing that is called "mustard" in America. Growing up I didn't know any other, so I thought I simply didn't like mustard. Then I moved to Europe in my thirties, and man, the mustards here in Germany are great! Texture, taste, aroma... some more spicy, some less, some with honey... In other words, a whole new world of tastes for me to discover and enjoy. But I still can't stand that American yellow artificial acid stuff 😅

      I hear you, even MD hamburgers had that yellow mustard ketchup pickle mixture which is a gross combination of flavors. Even hotdogs taste better with ketchup alone. But Dijon mustard is great in many different varieties, love a touch of horseradish on roast beef, brings the heat. Dijon mustard is just better and thought it came from France too.

      I was once faced with a condiment labeled ketchup that was brown and somewhat chunky, next to one that looked like soy. The first was mushroom ketchup, the second a thick, sweet, soy. There's a reason, I learned, that US ketchup was traditionally labeled "Tomato ketchup."

    Actually, since colonial days, whether or not to carry a pregnancy to term was a matter between a woman and her midwife. It is only since the mid-nineteen hundreds that abortion has become a public issue. Male physicians then began agitating against abortion as part of their efforts to drive midwives out and "professionalize" health care for women by making it a male discipline. I read this either in Washington Post or NYT.
