the *I don't care Thread* for extreme uninteresting things

One day when my daughter was about 16 I ate lunch at a Korean restaurant with some guys from work.
On the menu was an item called "Be Bim Bop Bap" -- at least my memory includes the "Bop" -- but it is apparently unheard of. NARF!
It must have been BeBimBap

I found the name amusing.

When I got home and we were sitting down to a supper of beef stew, I told about the Bebimbap, and my daughter said, "I have the feeling that somewhere in Korea a family is discussing this really funny sounding Canadian dish called 'stew' and turning it into funny noises and laughing their butts off"

I can't remember if I had the bebimbap or not. NARF!

I know Lazza always found the name of the German town Mönchengladbach amusing.

I wonder how the old Christmas song called "Schneeflöckchen, Weißröckchen" sounds to non-German speakers.

Or if that's not good enough, there's another one called "Aber Heidschi Bumbeidschi Bum Bum".

Btw, none of these are technically really Christmas songs. The first one is a children's song about winter in general, the second one is a lullaby. But no one really cares, and they are both typically played around Christmas time, and strongly associated with that time of the year.

Breaking news!!!!

I was bitten by a mosquito- and the bite itches!

I know everybody is interested

I had to see the full lyrics since my German got as far as "Aber" then crashed.
I'll add this to the new folk song playlist I'm creating for the stream.

@Prim:
Here is a trick for mosquitoes:
Let them fully engorge themselves before killing them -- assuming you see them of course.
They inject a small amount of material when they bite, and as they fill up on your blood, they suck most of that back out.
If you kill them too early, there is a lot left in.

Vorpal, I hadn´t seen that beast! Just noticed the itch afterwards.

It seems impossible to find some sweet pickle relish in the stores around here these days...

I eventually decided to just import it.

As usual, I have plans...

I think you can get those at EDEKA, Harrier, not exactly sure but I thought that I saw those at EDEKA?

I definitely remember getting it a few years ago at the usual places, but recently, it was completely absent. None of the store staff had ever heard of it either (I'm used to this reaction).

Anyway, this was my plan:

Mix it up with some mayonnaise, French dressing, white vinegar and minced onions...

...and give it a good stir to turn it into homemade Big Mac sauce.

I then used some slider buns to make miniature versions of the famous Big Mac sandwich (though most of them are single-stacked).

I just had a huge bad beat recently: my screen fell off and broke. I had to order a new one

Gluten-free buns and I immediately eat those!!!!!!!

Big Mac sauce contains a small amount of horseradish -- or at least it used to.
Leave out the onion, and Mayo + Sweet Relish + a little dill +/- capers gives a good imitation of Tartar Sauce.
Some add Lemon or Worcestershire sauce.

We have no weather here today at all.
Except on TV.
They have lots of weather on TV

That's good to know, because I was desperately trying to locate tartar sauce as well earlier this year. Had to settle for some plain old remoulade...

This "proletariat"-Remoulade which I like so much?

I'm getting an edumacation -- I had never heard of remoulade before.
Sounds tasty though.

Btw, tartar sauce > remoulade.

Today: "Indian style" schnitzel.

With creamy curry sauce, bell peppers, mushrooms, tomatoes, onions and probably some other stuff. I noticed a couple jalapenos in there, for example.

Comes with a salad, as usual.

I would prefer it without the sweet corn, but whatever.

Some curries seem to go well with pretty much anything.

When I was a kid there was a light-yellow powder you could buy in the store called "curry powder".
My Mum made curried lamb, curried chicken and even on occasion curried shrimp.

Later there was a huge influx of people from India, Pakistan and Fiji that brought a vast number of different spice mixtures all called "curry" but now they had adjectives -- Masala, Korma, Vindaloo etc.

If the curry of my childhood has an adjective, I don't know it, and sometimes I miss it.

Never had it on schnitzel though.

The Japanese seem to have their own take on curry, and I've heard it's very popular over there.

Not only are Japanese grocery stores said to be packed with sauce mixes for that dish, but there have also been polls asking Japanese kids from the 1950's and 2014 about their favorite dishes, and despite the greater influence of "Western style" food in the 2014 list, curry remains in the #1 spot for both.

I'd love to make it myself some day to see what all the hype is about.

Btw, "banhauser" means バンハウサ in Japanese.

That is hilarious!

I did not realize that katakana was phonetic
