    Source.

    It would appear that as steampunk enthusiasts, we've managed to get everything right.

    It's interesting to know that we have not, in fact, devolved when it comes to communicating with eachother. Now we just need to find some Roman examples to show that we also haven't evolved either. I wonder if there was a term for noob back then.

    "Youth", would probably cover it back then.

    I don't like pork fat.
    I like bacon grease.
    Yes. There is a difference.
    I also like potatoes.

    Mmmmmm, bacon.

    My favourite pork product is definitely home-made pork crackling. *drool*

    Tater skins deep fried in bacon grease. Spookily enough, spam battered and deep fried tastes pretty damn good. I've yet to deep fry bacon in bacon grease tho'. Now I wonder....

    My uncle taught me the following recipe:

    Boil some macaroni.

    Fry a shitload of bacon in a frying pan. Remember to melt a big chunk of butter in the pan before putting in the bacon.

    You'll soon notice that the bacon won't be fried as much as boiled.

    When the bacon is fried/boiled, pour the contents of the frying pan into the macaroni. Stir it all together with a spoon.

    Top with grated cheese.

    Eat, and pray for your arteries.

    That looks poisonously delicious.
    In all seriousness, though, I love bacon fatback. The absolutely best breakfast I've ever had was hand-made bread toasted in fatback grease.
    It tasted like funnel cake without the powdered sugar...amazing. If you like funnel cake.

    Funnel cakes are great, if a bit crumbly.

    Eat them together with copious amounts of mead and you have Finnish May Day.

    If I have anything with copious amounts of mead, I'll be marking my own May Day.

    I wouldn't mind trying some mead at some point.

    This was an interesting read; thanks for sharing! I like the concept of a steampunk online forum and am extremely impressed with the observation that our behavior has not evolved our medium.

    Give me enough mead and I'll make six May Days at once.

    Wonderful day really. Nothing beats an entire city population getting shitfaced and defacing city property with regurgitated bits of food mixed with stomach bile while the police sit by, watch, and do absolutely nothing except drink coffee and laugh. Every place should have such a tradition.
