Carpathius Mar 2019 1:02pm, 12 Mar 2019 16,719 posts	0 Carpathius I really want to see the Facebook page of V'rap's artiste. Currently in a restaurant where the menu includes such items as "flackseeds" and "lineseeds". If you're going to be pretentious at least know how to spell it.

Maclennane Mar 2019 3:20pm, 12 Mar 2019 20,716 posts	0 Maclennane Didn’t know that. Was once served a dish based on quark and linseed oil at a factory in east Germany and remain convinced it’s only suitable for oiling bats
Dvorak Mar 2019 3:55pm, 12 Mar 2019 17,352 posts	0 Dvorak Hungarians will dress salads in linseed oil which gives them an odd hint of fishiness. I also did not know the flaxseed/ linseed thing.
Carpathius Mar 2019 3:55pm, 12 Mar 2019 16,720 posts	0 Carpathius I didn't order either dish. This was on a proper menu by the way, not handwritten on a blackboard. There was also "mtatcha tea".
