Are you Jamaican? My family is.

Used to have a friend at work from Trinidad. They like their pasties. Fair warning though they like it spicy.....they burn going in and coming out.....

Omfg… are “burned goats feet” something that is a recognizable ingredient in your culture?

I didn’t even know it was a “thing” until my most recent grocery shopping. And? There. They. Were. Sold in 40lb / 20kg boxes. Also? “Regular” goats feet, both skin on & skin off. But burned goats feet seem to be more/the most popular?!? How is this a food? It must be. I’ve just never heard of it. Burned Goats Feet. Okay!

There’s mild version at least for Jamaican patties.

@Givrali do people in Switzerland generally feel proud of or connected to Carl Jung? Is he celebrated?

As someone who didn't keep studying after obligatory school I never heard of him. I'm going to ask people I know in Switzerland and keep you informed when I got enough answers

 

[Givrali]

So from people I know, Carl Jung isn't knew and when knew not liked a lot because his link to psychanalysm. In a general way I think it's mostly famous athelets like Roger Federer who are well knew by french part of Switzerland rather than scientists. So very few nationnality pride amond our people

Americans, am watching My lottery Dream House and they keep mentioning stand up showers. But are there any other kind? Surely all showers you stand up in?

 

[somerandomguy]

I think they mean a shower stall without a bathtub attached (as most home showers tend to be here).

What @somerandomguy said.

Also, if they’re luxury homes? You’ll be looking at stall-less or glass-less or enclosure-free or walk-in or infinity or fully enveloped or immersive or, or, or (whatever the sexy term this week is; where the entire bathroom is waterproofed, instead of just the shower enclosure; usually with a textured stone floor, stone or mosaic walls, etc.); rain showers, waterfall showers, 7+ headed showers, etc. <<< MOST of these bathrooms will also contain a free standing tub or plunge. At least in the master suite.

Less-Lux, disability access showers are built to be sat in, although some can be stood in also, most cannot.

Thanks guys, @Friday I think we call the showers without any kind of cubicle a wet room.

Anyway have to say, I love the mundane differences between cultures, always have done, and don't get to travel really nowadays so telly is my travel.

Also, just learned about the mesh cages on houses in Florida, surrounding the pool, Linai? Speaking as a gourmet meal to all insects, it seems a great idea
