  • Super interesting. Didn't know that. Thanks.

  • Sure but calling them Americans is likely, mostly, sorta true but also ignores an important fact... They were Europeans (or near descendants of) calling the places that. Often a place was named that place because it reminded them of home / to honor their parents home.

    Some other notable examples: New Zealand

    São Carlos, Brazil

    Munich, Saskatchewan

    Liverpool, New South Wales

    Nueva York, Colombia

  • Tipping

  • Country dependant. Some places it's highly common some with up to 50/50 split, where I am 2% pay out to the kitchen is typical / required, other places it is illegal as management to even ask the server to split tips.

    I've worked as a chef many places.

  • I can chime in here (I work in plant based meat). It should be but it's not. Why... Lots of reasons. But basicly it's split between animal based meat is artificially cheap and plant based meat costs a lot to make. A lot of the costs (for the good brands) are in the flavorings.

  • That was simply a average. But the shop does matter, being why averages help.

  • I had the same thought. Wallow Whitman National forest? North Matthieu Lake?

    What was your guess?

  • I'm not in the UK but in Germany. That seems low and Germans are cheap AF. I usually expect things to be more expensive there. I don't know about Googles overview, but this is what Google has to say.

    The average price of beef in the UK varies significantly by cut, with current retail prices for primary cuts typically ranging between £9.00 and £19.00 per kg. As of April 2026, retail beef prices have seen a sharp increase of approximately 16.4% year-on-year due to supply shortages

    The average price of ground beef (mince) in the UK has risen significantly, with retail prices typically ranging from £6.18 to £11.00 per kg as of April 2026

  • Meh. I saw someone being interviewed who didn't know who hilter was. Apparently genuine. They even gave hints. When the interviewer told her who he is, she wasn't even shocked or just having a brain fart. She blamed it on her history teacher...

  • Pud

  • PUD - Polly under distress?

  • Don't.

  • Yes. Thank you. When I was a bee keeper I learned some about the things. Do honey bees have various issues and struggles ... Sure. Are the large varieties of native wild bees soooo much more fucked - yep. Yes they are.

  • Tune a fish

  • Tuna was not always popular and when people didn't know what it was it helped people know what they are buying. The US also having a large portion of bilingual people with a Spanish base, this helps it not get confused with cactus fruit (apparently tuna in Spanish)

  • Nooooo

  • I've seen this many many times before but usually someone comments with links that this never actually happened. Apparently it's just made up?

  • Why is it soooo tempting to do?! Everytime I see one that voice in the back of my head says to take it... They won't notice...

  • *sous chef. Sous is French for under. So the person directly under the chef is the sous chef.

  • Sorry! Copy paste

  • No, but that's interesting and worth a try.

  • Dogs @lemmy.world

    Snapping issue. Need some advice

  • The big problem is that they know. They know they are making the violence, and unfairly complaining about it. Pointing it out changes nothing for them.

    They know and they say it anyways and don't care if they are wrong because it works. It is unfortunately working.

  • I mean... If that is your explanation of yeah yeah I know... You have some things to learn about curry. It starts shortly with curry is not simply one thing, and it ends with it is a cooking style as much as anything.
