Next time you enjoy your mallows, remember to thank a farmer. (next step in harvest is to make a bore hole through  the centre of the big mallow, inserting a quarter stick of dynamite and turning the big ones each into 100,000 small ones,  then butter the combine up to gather the results)

I think those marshmallows would taste more marshy, than mallowy.

They’re so processed these days you can’t even taste the marsh. Can’t bu y farm fresh because of a conspiracy by big marshmallow.

Do they actually harvest marshmallow? I had one come in as a weed in my yard last year. No idea where the seed came from.

post-dynamite, they stick to birds and propogate that way. The scale of the commercial harvest allows some strays to spread far and wide. Check the bottom of the mallow, if it says ‘ Monsanto’ you may be committing a crime

Well I like to give thanks and buy Hawaiian marsh-Mahalos.

Never seen that species,  to far away for the wind or the birds to spread them.  I have enjoyed other things grown in Hawaii though.

Oh shit, they're marshmallows? I thought they were horse eggs.

Like their Canadian originated namesake pizza.

I love an Hawaiian pizza.

No, landhorses grow out of seahorses,  You’re thinking of muskeg, from which the noble muskox hatches.

What is the consensus from actual Hawaiians about pineapple on pizza?  Did anyone ask them, or did Canada hang that albatross from their neck thinking they’d just be fine with it?

I don’t know. The Canadian guy accredited to it died last year.

They’re pr obably not too worried, since they live in Hawaii and not Canada, they won that one.

I don’t know. I’d rather live in Canada myself.

It’s nice here from A pril to October.  There are people who love the winter. And those people are dirty and wrong.

Well I’m in Cumbria. It’s often wet, sometimes cold, generally our warm is what you’d call cold and our hot is what you’d class as just another day.

In centigrade, our temperature seasonally swings about 80 degrees. -42 to about 39 above, Making it a dumb place to build a road, or in Sask 160,000 miles of road (every mile in terrible condition).

Ours go from 4-16C normally.

Below 0C for winter, in the summer they can go from 18-30+C.

Our ripen a lot earlier than that down here in the rainy PNW. They were collected and shipped out months ago here.

Your weather is perfect for me,  I’d love to have it... I took the next best I could get on this continent.

It very rarely gets this bad in the winter (even then it’s mostly around Shap (35 miles south and a very high road over a mountain) or Alston)

It’s usually like this.

Exactly my preference. When it snows like that over here, it’s freaking apocalyptic, so that wouldn’t bother me at all.
