  • I’m from Mexico. The difference with the US is that in Mexico we actually season our food ( :P ).

    But yes, I believe the difference was that I was actually expecting something more than just “edible” in Europe. I bought a beelinese in fucking Berlin, for God sake, and it was the most boring piece of bread I’ve tasted, and I got it in Berlin! Where the bread is from! And it taste like cardboard. I found a nice beelinese in Switzerland, though, and the best part is that I bought it at a convenience store lol.

    I tried Currywurst as well, and it was just a sausage with ketchup and curry powder?!? WTF it reminded me to the cheap food I had to eat while being a broke college student. How in the hell is Currywurst something people want to eat?!? There was a queue and the place was a well-known venue… For a freaking sausage with ketchup!

    I also had the worst pasta I’ve ever had in Europe. I can’t believe that being so close to Italy their pasta is so bland. I tried a local Italian “restaurant” to treat my and my SO, and lol the food was bad. It was ok for us, though. It was a hot meal for once, and the portions were great, but by no means I could call it “Italian food”.

    At some point we got tired of wasting our money on “eating local” and opted for what we knew for a fast meal…











  • I’m not into comics, but I have read something about wolverine. The reason I avoid comics is exactly the same problem the MCU is facing: stories don’t really have an impact: theres an infinite number of universes they can write about, and even in the base timeline, they bring back dead heroes; what’s even the point?!

    I’ve read/watched some content from people that would be more knowledgeable about comics/DC/Marvel saying that that’s actually one of the issues comics have been facing: their audience loves X or Y character AS IS, and they don’t allow it to either develope beyond what has been written, or don’t want to see him/her retire/die…

    I don’t know if this is the true state of the industry, but watching the MCU struggle makes me believe it does: they brought back RDJ because they can’t think of a solution to the hole they dug themselves into.
