The scaffolding of your level is rickety and not constructed to code.

You don't have the time.

Stop liking or doing stuff just because a marketer told you to.

Ya, cause Virgil's has an insane marketing budget. You're an idiot.

**Frownland** · 05-16-2018, 04:29 PM

I'm a marketer, Chula. I was being ironic.

Also you don't need a big budget to market something successfully. In a lot of cases it comes down to branding.

15 Gross Medieval Foods That People Actually Ate In The Middle Ages

Quote:

Medieval dinner parties were spectacles in themselves. People liked to be amused at the table and so medieval chefs came up with the idea of serving live animals that appeared to be dead at first glance but that would then run off once served at the table. Take the live chicken for example – a chicken was plucked alive in boiling water and glazed which gave it the appearance of it having been roasted. When the chicken fell asleep in the kitchen, it was brought out onto the table along with other dishes. But just as the chicken was about to be carved it would make off down the table, leaving chaos in its wake. Similarly, live frogs would often be placed inside a pie. When the top of the pie was cut open, the frogs would leap out and spring down the table, causing as much alarm as laughter among the guests.

That's hilarious, we have to bring this back.

I would try all of them tbh. Lamprey looks a lot more appetizing than they make out.

If cooked right, eel is awesome.

A love for eel and squid makes me a little less predisposed to being grossed out by it I think. Eel can be some next level **** man, I'd eat it a few times a week if I could afford it. Never prepared it myself though, it's a bit intimidating.

You need a license to eel?

Had it in a big tomato based stew that was obviously really slow cooked cause the veggies and potatoes were totally broken down. Was intimidated at first but it ended up being amazingly delicious. Next to Peking Duck, maybe the best thing I've ever eaten in China.
