I grew these beans and the onions.

It feels REALLY GOOD to make food with food you’ve grown.

saw something about how people are (illegally) using american paddlefish for caviar and got so angry i felt lightheaded

[superiorsturgeon]

out of curiosity, why do you like sturgeons so much?

A chance to info dump about my favorite fish…?!

I grew up in the Great Lakes area of North America, where fishing is pretty popular but everyone knows that fish populations aren’t anything like “the good old days” when people took out huge numbers of fish while messing up their spawning sites. I got pretty into fishing when I found out that I could catch bluegill in the surrounding farm ponds, and once in a while my family took me to an isolated fishing cabin for vacation, but for years I never encountered a wild fish bigger than a kilogram or two.

BUT THEN…

I found out about sturgeon! They were HUGE fish that had once lived in the rivers and lakes all around my home, and better yet, fish almost exactly like modern sturgeon had existed all the way back in the Cretaceous period alongside the dinosaurs, and they STILL EXIST TODAY!!! The fact that small numbers of these huge dinosaur fish still existed made them seem almost like a real-life lake monster/cryptid, except that we had proof of their existence!

Furthermore, there’s just nothing else like them. Sturgeon get big. Like, REALLY big. The record for the largest sturgeon was almost 11 meters/24 feet long, which is colossal for freshwater animals. They have armor plates of bone running down their sides, and at the same time they don’t have bony skeletons. They also have a crazy mouth structure, which allows them to actually pop their jaws out like a tube and suck up food. And on top of all of this, the adults are absolute tanks. I’ve seen skin nearly 8mm thick, and it’s so tough that people make leather out of it, and they occasionally lose fins or even entire gill plates and just keep on swimming! (I found out about that last one when I tried to wrestle a big female out of a river and my hand went straight into her gills. She didn’t seem that bothered by it!)

For a long time I filed sturgeon along with Alligator Gar, Giant Mekong catfish, and Yangtze paddlefish as a semi-legendary fish that may still exist, but I was never going to see except possibly in an aquarium, until I enrolled in graduate school. For those unfamiliar with grad school in the US, it typically involves both high-level classes as well as an independent research project the student designs and carries out with help from an experienced professor. When my mentor asked what kind of thing I wanted to study, I tossed out “sturgeon” as one such possibility, expecting to hear that I would probably have to limit myself to more common/accessible species.

I was blown away when she said “Actually, I think I know a guy…”

For the next several years, I got to ride along collecting wild adult sturgeon, gathering eggs, and raising the baby fish in a lab and in a hatchery. I was holding something that I had thought of as a semi-mythical lake/river monster in my own hands! I got to see a river choked with giants as big as 2 meters long, and I got to hold a 5-centimeters mottled baby whose armored scutes were still sharp and possessed the little arrowhead shape and big black pectoral fins that remind me of Mickey Mouse ears! In the video below you can even see a little heartbeat! (Don’t worry, this little guy was returned to the tank soon after to recover from his anesthesia!)

Sadly, I didn’t find anything super groundbreaking in my research, but my experience DID land me a job working in sturgeon aquaculture! If you’ve ever had caviar that wasn’t poached, it probably came from a sturgeon farm, and if you want to see a lot of big fish up close, this is a good place to do it! I probably personally handled more individual sturgeon than there are wild fish in several sturgeon species. In addition, while the wild broodstock I mentioned above might reach 2 meters and over 50kg, the sturgeon I dealt with at the farm would easily double that, and there were a LOT of them! I got to see sturgeon behavior that had never been recorded in field guides, and even a few crazy one-in-a-million mutations like the infamous “ghost” sturgeon!

I even got the opportunity to cook my own sturgeon meat (Yeah, I basically turned into the Touden siblings from Dungeon Meshi except for sturgeon instead of RPG monsters). I got pretty good at making smoked sturgeon, but the meat is also good on the grill or baked, and people have been cooking them in various ways for centuries.

My favorite part of the job was physically wrestling the big fish! Sturgeon are easier to grab than other fish with the right know-how, but a human-sized fish often has its own plans for the day and won’t always cooperate. I was pretty good at moving the adults by the time I left that job, but it was still a wild rodeo every time!

Even more exciting was how we spawned each new generation of sturgeon. In the wild, they form massive spawning runs in big rivers that in the past would be enough to tip small boats, but in a lab or farm we have to use other means. I’ll spare you the details, but I am one of a small number of people who have surgically extracted eggs from a live sturgeon and sutured them back up to swim another day.

The tldr of this essay is that sturgeon are a big, crazy-unique fish that have been around a long time, and I’ve spent a lot of my career handling and working with them. There’s just nothing like them for a fish nerd and they’re damn cool!

(Clip art not mine, I think @sturgeonposting drew or shared it!)

England doesn’t have a North-South divide. But if it did have one, Cornwall would be in the North.

Now I’m not saying there isn’t a big geographical divide between like, Manchester and Canterbury, or that the country’s a homogeneous patchwork, what I’m saying is this divide isn’t north-south and thinking about it as such masks a lot of things.

Oh, and I am, for necessity of discussing this divide, going to be ignoring the Midlands. I hope you forgive me ignoring the deep cultural ties between Birmingham and Rutland.

Map Men made a video about the North-South divide in England (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENeCYwms-Cc&ab_channel=JayForeman), which focused on the line determined by Danny Dorling in 2008.

… Which isn’t a north-south divide. It’s a northwest-southeast divide, going up at more than 45 degrees – it’s more an east-west divide than it is a north-south. It also includes Wales in “the North” but we’ll get to that.

But it was a north-south divide he set out to find, so a north-south divide he sort of drew, excluding exclaves and enclaves where the metrics he was looking at would make that not a north-south divide.

Notably, several would seem to put the west country peninsula in “the North”… So what’s up with that?

(Dorling's full paper is here, and I recommend looking through the whole thing to see how he arrived at the divide he eventually concluded: https://www.dannydorling.org/wp-content/files/dannydorling_publication_id2938.pdf)

Anyway. This is what’s up with that:

This is a geological map of Great Britain (and the Isle of Man, which isn’t actually part of the UK or any of its constituent countries but I guess it’s here anyway.)

Here again, in the boundary between Jurassic and Triassic geology, is that diagonal line from the Humber to the Severn, but continuing past both. For convenience, here are those two lines superimposed on one another.

With Danny Dorling’s line (frequently following county boundaries or other administrative boundaries) in blue, and the geological divide in red.

One line was drawn in 2008, the other has existed over 200 million years.

This isn’t a coincidence – it’s the reason for the divide.

What made “the North” is the industrial revolution. And one thing that drove the industrial revolution was the mines: coal, iron, silver, tin, the rocks beneath our feet and the people who dreamed they were worth more than the people they sent into the dark to bring it into the light.

Towns grew around mines, from Walker to South Crofty, and more than just the mines defining them, it was the mines closing that would cement the divide.

“Byker Hill and Walker Shore, collier lads forever more”

“Cornish lads are fishermen and Cornish lads are miners too”

- Two folk songs about regional identity’s roots in its industry, from opposite ends of this dividing line

In the West Midlands, the Black Country didn’t earn that name with caviar; it, like Manchester and Leeds, reinvented itself when the industry collapsed: cities built in the brick ruins of the temples built to the exploitation of the workers, blackened by the smokes of the cremation of its labour industry. When the light catches the steel and glass just right, you can still see the ghosts.

Even the country life outside the cities is shaped by this geology: the terrain north-west of this line doesn’t lend itself to large, flat expanses of land for arable farming, and the divide is visible again when looking at agriculture:

With the majority of land south of the Jurassic-Triassic line being arable, mixed and market gardening, with a fair amount of cattle in the Cotswolds and Chilterns and along the north side of the Thames, and the majority north-west of it being cattle and sheep – which are almost absent from the south side of the divide with the exception of the Isle of Wight and therefore, ironically, Cowes.

Not all farming is the same, the yearly flow of labour and of marketable goods between livestock and arable having little in common beyond being intensive work out-of-doors and taking huge amounts of land to accomplish.

But one thing that also goes hand in hand with this is that sheep aren’t mostly farmed for their meat but for their wool, and what drove industrialisation in the Pennines was the steam-loom: the mechanisation and mass-production of wool.

(Incidentally, on this map arable farming and market gardening also correlate with several types of English traditional dance: Molly, Border an East Midlands and East Riding plough dances, which began as a way for seasonal farmhands to make ends meet by busking with menaces in the winter off-season, but that’s for a later Morris ramble).

But hang on, that puts Hull on the same side of the divide as Kent, not, for example, Liverpool. So what gives there?

The East Riding isn’t built on mining - a kid with a bucket and spade could find the water table in most of the county.

Hull, and other ports of Yorkshire with it, was built on whaling – and not many industries have collapsed harder than whaling. For once, the geography of the land has little impact on this, but the geography of the sea does:

Between England and the European continent is a shallower stretch of sea called Dogger Bank – named for the Dutch cod-fishing boats known as Doggers which fished on it. But shallow water isn’t great for whales. So where is there water good for whales?

Well, whalers from Great Britain would venture as far as the Antarctic ocean in search of whales, and often hunted off Greenland – but there was water closer to home where whales did and still do frequent:

(There is still whaling in the North Sea. Around 500 minke whales are killed by Norwegian whalers each year “in objection to” the global ban on commercial whaling.)

Outside of this, there’s also a divide between port cities dealing primarily in cargo or primarily in passengers, something which is somewhat evening out by one means or another, but here’s a current map of UK passenger ports and their passenger numbers:

Or at least circles sized to correspond to their passenger numbers - source with stats: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/sea-passenger-statistics-all-routes-2021/sea-passenger-statistics-all-routes-2021

Compare this with a map of cargo ports by load:

Source with numbers: https://safety4sea.com/uk-ports-record-steady-performance-during-2018/

Generally showing passenger numbers getting lower the further you get from Dover, but not the same correlation with cargo (Plymouth and Holyhead both bucking this trend at a glance).

So, if not “The North” and “The South”, what name does make sense for this divide?

I propose “the South” be known as Lloegyr.

These names still exist: Domnonea still exists in Brittany both as a name for that same region from which Brittonic settlers came to Brittany and an area of Brittany named for them, and in Welsh, yr Alban is Scotland, Cymru is Wales and Lloegr is England.

Wales isn’t part of “the North”. “The North” is part of Wales.

Hc that Jesper brings Wylan his lunch every time he has to physically go in to the Merchant Council meetings, and every time it’s something completely different, like ranging from home cooked Zemeni biscuits and gravy, to scallion pancakes he picked up in the Shu Han district, to black pudding from Jesper’s last visit to his father’s farm. And Jesper sits in a chair he’s pulled up to face Wylan’s and lets his legs rest on his boyfriend’s lap, and they share a lunch.

and the rest of the council, who all have their like fancy turkey and gravy with potatoes and caviar just eat grumpily.

idk I love the idea of Jesper being the best trophy spouse of them all

Camping

From the mouth of The Pest Experts of Ayrshire, Scotland:

[Source, ROFLMAO: https://thepestexpertsayrshire.co.uk/how-to-avoid-midges-when-camping-in-scotland/]

Clearly not the best background for a lewd, Harlequinesque intermezzo. Unless you are a parochial fuckwit, who cannot help but see sex all over the place - tells me more unsavory things about you than I would ever need to know.

From this ex-Scout chieftain to you: the best one could achieve, in terms of debauchery, in one of those 2 minute tents people generally use when camping (ignoring the thick midge curtain, if at all possible), is probably some mild petting, circa 1953 style. Got that T-shirt and I have no damn problem admitting this, in this slightly awkward confessional. So, next time you think of lying through your teeth, just in order to remain relevant, I'd suggest you make a better script out of it. Speaking of 'behavior', or whatnot.

Also, always remember (LOOOOOOOOOOL) the hills are alive with the sound of music and probably also with dozens of other summer campers, undeterred by above midges. Unless we see remnants of shared truffle caviar parritch (yup, that exists, believe it or not), Lady & the Tramp style, in some unsufferable aluminum camping crockery (or a classy pair of plastic champagne flutes, ROFLMAO), there is no way to substantiate anything. So, don't go insinuating and spreading questionable, harmful bullshit about S, just because someone finally perhaps stepped in and probably told you to stop whatever it is you think you are doing.

I'd bet the farm it's not that pubescent athlete, either. FFS. Who cares about August Calendar Girl, at all? It's just another poorly cobbled fanfic, for the use of an aging, but obsessed cluster of fans. Who, yes, could all be his mum. Shame on you. All of you.

Siberian Sturgeon

Acipenser baerii, commonly known as the Siberian sturgeon, is native to the Siberian River and its surrounding basins, as well as the East Siberian Seas. Though today this sturgeon is widely considered monotypic, it was once divided into three subspecies: A. b. baerii, which accounts for 80% of the population and is native to the Ob river in Russia, migrating its 400+ kilometer length with the changing seasons; A. b. baicalensis, which resides primarily in Lake Baikal and migrates up the Selenga River during spawning season; and A. b. stenorrhynchus, a species native to the eastern Siberian rivers. Some members of A. b. stenorrhynchus are migratory, swimming upstream to spawn, while other members of the population are non-migratory. DNA testing has revealed that these three subspecies are actually genetically connected, and are merely separated by location and have thus adapted. Siberian sturgeon dine on crustaceans and larvae, the classic sturgeon diet. They are currently critically endangered in the wild, but an extensive population exists in captive-breeding programs and sturgeon farms for meat and caviar.

A cook of a Sh'Czekl merchant family at work in an outdoor kitchen, preparing a holiday dinner.

---

Sh'Czekl are the people of the coastal Czekl region, culturally related to other Czekl but having ancestry further west down the inner seas. Most of the population is clustered in a modest trading hub where the Longhorn River meets the sea, seeing the comings and goings of traders from all ends of the inner seaways. 

The region has few mining operations, and natively-made metal implements are typically rare and costly. The most common (and cost effective) option for big pots, pans, and grates such as these are mostly acquired in trade, and often made by and for humans.

The Sh'Czekl diet consists mostly of farmed arthropods, invertebrates foraged from shorelines and tidal pools, and hunted shorebirds. Fish play little to no role in the diet. It is forbidden for Sh'Czekl to eat anything that lives permanently in the sea, as all sea-life belongs to the god Si (who is known to send storms and tidal waves when insulted). 

Their location along major sea trade routes also grants significant access to spices non-native to the region (such as cumin, imported primarily from southern Wardin) alongside regional flavoring (such as firebug, a key export from the region- a strong flavored stinkbug dried and crushed as seasoning).

---

What this guy's cooking: A stew of caviar ant eggs/larvae and nuts in a shellfish broth with pepper and firebug, grub and locust kebabs, daggerclams rolled in cumin and fried in lard, and an inner sea tiviit spiced with pepper, firebug and honey and grilled over hot coals.

I'm interested on your Will's time period theorie. Can you explain more?

Hello anon! I'm glad you found interest in my time period theory, so I drafted this up-- it took quite a bit, so I hope you enjoy it! And anyone else reading!

Hi everyone! For a little background info about me before I begin: I'm Canadian, and the region I live around was heavily affected by the Great Depression so I have my fair share of knowledge about it! Also I have family that live out on a farm/middle of nowhere.

As we know, we have little to no information about William, and while understanding it is the first season, he is the only one we don't know anything about; everyone else we know some information about. This is purely theories, but what I piece together.

(The only thing I have to go off on is his final meal so bare with me!)

I theorize William is from the Dust Bowl/Great Depression era, narrowed down to somewhere in the US.

Will's final meal is peaches and water.

Peaches were a common and popular fruit in Georgia, USA. You can easily farm them and pick their fruit, storing them in a bowl and leaving them in a dining room. Georgia in the 1930s was a state heavily affected by the Dust Bowl. A glass of water is also an interesting choice, because why not try anything else if you've never seen or had it?

Implied in the final dinner episode (38), you can choose your final meals because it's what you would have wanted. (ex. Ada chose beluga caviar even if she never had it.) Everyone around William has full meals:

Montresor with beans, cornbread & meat,

Prospero with espresso & cannoli, and Annabel with tea and scones, and so on.

All of these are curated, expensive meals viewing their time periods.

So why the basic meal? Why does everyone else have full meals?

Well, in the 1930s, these things weren't readily available. Additionally, William didn't see higher delicacies like scones or caffeine, and the resources were not possible to make such a thing (also flour & sugar were like $2.00 and it was very expensive) so he chose something simple but filling, like a fresh peach and water.

Canned foods were popular in the 1930s! So him choosing a fresh peach over canned fruit is a possibility.

(But wait, he saw meat! Couldn't he tried that?)

Livestock in the 1930s was valuable, so selling cows, pigs and even sheep for meat would guarantee good money, but knowing Will's ethos he would pick something that wouldn't be an inconvenience; accommodating to those around him.

An extra theory as well! Had this bouncing around my head since my social studies class when we learned about the 1930s

Would it be an odd theory to say that he could have worked on a farm, or even travelled around?

Young men would travel farm-to-farm, looking to work there in exchange for shelter, food, and maybe some pay. (even though they were paid pennies and nickels, it was enough for them.) Maybe William travelled and met someone while out there, a partner, like an "Of Mice and Men" type of scenario. Being alone in the Dust Bowl is pretty exhausting, so pairing up with someone increases your chances of survival.

Perhaps his partner left him to starve in the middle of nowhere, left him behind in a storm, and so you're alone with your thoughts, you'd be confused: What did I do wrong? Did I take something that I wasn't supposed to?

And what's the first thing you'd like to do when you get home? Have clean water and a nice fruit you'd picked yourself, your own treat.

If you made it to the end, thank you so much! This will likely be edited/revised as more ideas enter my head.

Thank you for the ask, anon!

[maddisandy]

we're going to be bringing our magnum of champagne we won from the competition to dinner because there's no way we're drinking that by ourself, so we need to think of something that we could pair with that as a hor douevre. probably will see about making some southern yeast rolls too and freeze the dough ahead of time or even bake them and freeze the rolls ahead of time (less day of prep the better). obviously we have to make sweet potato casserole and then idk maybe we'll see about making our mac n cheese everyone loves and just make the pasta and mornay a day ahead of time and heat them to service at the actual dinner. maybe our cranberry sauce too. our grandpa is going to want to do all things meat so we just have to coordinate with everyone else what we'll make

oh just got reminded thanksgiving is coming up.. i really don't like to celebrate but i know our family will be expecting us to cook so i'm going to have to come up with some recipes

[ofmermaidstories]

one of my cows in my game gave birth and now i have three generations of cows that i chase around with my chickens and ducks in their nice big grassy paddock by the sea. 🥹 there’s gremique, she was one of my first cows, then her daughter ca-bell and now the grandbaby, milly. 🥺 and then we have the aunts: kisi and luna lmao. i love my farm. 😌 we just hang out and make cheese and duck mayonnaise and wine. and when i finally manage to catch a sturgeon i will finally be able to make caviar and be an artisanal QUEEN.

Hell’s Greatest Spouse

Lucifer: ha-ha alright then,

Lucifer slides right up with a huge grin on his face as he comes in between them. Eve has an enraged look on her face while Adam merely gives a questioning one.

Lucifer: You seem like you're ready for love let me show you all I can sweet dove! Check my amazing views on Grinder, five star, flawless, greater than great!

Adam blushes and tries to turn away, but Lucifer grabs his arm.

Lucifer: with a punch of a pentagram, a warp-bam-boom-alakazam, usually for this I charge a sacrificial lamb, but you get the spouse rate

Adam: uh thanks Lu

Adam is suddenly sitting at a table Lucifer wearing a high-class chef's outfit while Eve is wearing a diner waitress uniform. Lucifer presented him with an entire buffet full of high-end food.

Lucifer: who needs a waitress now that you've got the chef, Michelin-tasting free ala carte! I'll give you anything because I love you! champagne fountains, caviar mountains that's just a start!

Lucifer looks back to Adam after conjuring up all the gifts expecting excitement and adoration to appear in his eyes but only finds Adam with an uncomfortable look on his face, lamb ears pinned back, arms hugging himself, and eyes looking anywhere but Lucifer. Suddenly Eve appears behind Adam and gently places a hand on his shoulder while giving Lucifer a nasty glare

Eve: I’m sorry but who was there since out of Eden day 1, who was faithful to you as a nun? Who’s always made you smile with one of my famous puns, the first homemaker! Adam laughs a genuine smile gracing his lips

Adam: that’s true!

Eve: I’m your gal, your day to day, your chum, your steadfast best woman in anyway, hey remember when I killed that snake in our farm that day?

Adam: it was poisonous, thanks for the help!

Eve: I’m truly honored that we built such a bond! You’re like the sibling that I wish I had, I care for you just like a brother of mine, though it’s a little funny since you used to call me, WIFE! (Eve turns slightly giving Lucifer a shit eating grin, Lucifer fed up with her starts to battle it out on his fiddle while Eve strums on the lute, all the while Adam looks on awkwardly)

Modern Humans AU - CR:K

OKAY SO, me and a friend have been working (on and off) on a Cookie Run: Modern Humans AU ever since summer of last year.'

While the AU takes place in an alternate reality of ours (America, France, etc etc) do exist, but other fictional countries like Estuilor do! This is where the AU mainly takes place in, particularly in Holmur County that is located in the largest region (Jouhun) of Estuilor.

The country itself has French as a second language while its main language is Estuilsur. This is the entire list of Cookies we have included so far, including OCs!

White Lily Pure Vanilla Wildberry Crunchy Chip Sea Bunny (OC) Snow Leopard (OC) Moonflower (OC) Dark Cacao Dark Choco Royalberry Moonlight Stardust Sea Fairy Sorbet Shark Herb Sparkling Mojito (OC) Herbling (OC) Basil (OC) Golden Cheese Rich Cheese Sweet Dream (OC) Cloudy Pyrite (OC) Oat Milk (OC) Ristretto (OC) Latte Cashew (OC) Rose Champagne (OC) Pecan (OC) Marzipan (OC) Blanc de Noirs (OC) Blueberry Pie Blueberry Eclair Eclair Grand Madeleine Teacake (OC?) Sea Salt Madeleine Glazed Madeleine Honey Madeleine Financier Madeleine Espresso Macchiato (OC) Chouquette (OC) Strawberry Crepe Affogato Roguefort Black Pearl Captain Caviar Squid Ink Larimar (OC) Coral (OC) Pastry Red Velvet

Pure Vanilla is currently a retired ER Nurse and is now a Botanist, White Lily works in pathology, Espresso is a former Math Teacher now Chemist (he subs in sometimes), Madeleine is a military general of the army, Dark Cacao is a former military general, Wildberry and Crunchy Chip run a massive sheep farm (with Snow Leopard as their recon / barn cat), Golden Cheese & Black Pearl run their respective jewel stores and are rivals... This is the simple list of everyone's jobs, not everyone currently has one but will soon! I don't believe we won't add anyone more to the cast until we have finished filling in all of the current info of our cast.

Once I and my wonderful friend have completed all of the basics, I may open a ask blog for this au (it is quite vast!), and do not worry, the google docs detailing the world and these au variants of our beloved characters will be released soon-ish!

Sorry for all of the tags and i can't every single character ^^'

I add truffle butter (homemade by myself with both real truffles and fancy butter) to ramen. I’m gonna fry prosciutto till it’s actually crisp. I refuse to touch sushi cause I hate both rice vinegar and raw fish but if I have to I’ll fry the fish on the stove right in front of you and make the rice into fried rice. Unless it’s eel, that shit is good as is. Caviar is disgusting and I weep for the fish you’ve taken the life of because sturgeon can live as long, or longer than a human and that’s a damn shame what people do for them, one of the oldest fish species who are massive and beautiful and dinosaurs. At least some other fish will always die after they release so I can understand taking from them at the end of their life. Sometimes I just pour beer salt in my mouth cause it’s so good and because of my disabilities it’s actually helpful. I think all wine not made from apples are disgusting and I couldn’t care how old or fancy that bottle is, but if you buy champagne just to pour out the bottle in front of me, you can catch these hands. That is a person’s livelihood right there and you are so disrespectful of them.

You are allowed to have your favorite foods, random food combos that others thing are gross. Food rules don’t have to apply because you are the one who controls your diet. I don’t care if you put ketchup on sushi and anyone who does is a moron who can’t respect others. As long as you respect that food and don’t waste it, it’s okay. You are also allowed to have morals. I can’t stand caviar but the reason I’m so against it is because of sturgeon being killed at like 4 years old when they’re a species that can live as long as a human. I don’t like the fact that buying champagne just to pour the bottle out (the worst disrespect I can think of to a food in general) is an actual common thing in France.

Food doesn’t have to follow rules. It doesn’t have to be seen as insulting to see someone else eat differently than you.

Anyways. Don’t eat the rich, they’re all full of plastic and cancer. Just slaughter them. Go find a truffle pig in the apocalypse and farm with them randomly bringing you truffles all year that you lovingly can in brine to keep them safe, so you guys can add that shit to anything you feel like with your lesbian wife who’s churning butter and slap some truffle and butter on a rainbow trout.

Be kind to what you eat. Don’t waste needlessly.

Signing up for a job at a caviar farm thinking your going to be spending your time tending to the sturgeons there. Little do you know that you'll be turned into a sturgeon merperson and your job will actually be to produce the caviar. In your tank they let your belly fill up nice and full of caviar before the tank is drained every now and then and your manhandled out of it and squeezed to release your caviar for harvest. Then after your empty they drop you back in the tank to produce more!

I've been thinking about this ask since I got it because half of me is horrified and the other half of me kinda loves it... especially if they accidentally miss me for a week and I end up incredibly gravid...
