Distilled water?

Sounds like a bad idea to me. I can’t imagine that’s good for you at all, if it’s anything like RO water.

I thought distilled contained aluminum.

A water distiller basically boils the water making it evaporate up, and at the top there is a fan keeping the top cool making it condense again in a glass pitcher (since they say water would leach harmful stuff of a plastic pitcher). Therefore condensed water is pure and clean, leaving all the gunk behind.

^ Look at all that yummy gunk left behind, smells rotten too. They say all that inorganic stuff deposits around our joints (arthritis), heart and such. And that drinking distilled water absorbs all that inorganic stuff from your body. And the funny thing is that my first batch of water used Brita filtered water just out of curiosity to see how effective those are, batch I'm waiting on now is using straight tap water for comparison.

My distiller is also stainless steel, not aluminum.

MrMatthews, black pudding is usually made from pigs blood, but can also be made from the blood of other animals. It is black, has a cake-like spongey consistency and a distinctive taste. It's also an excellent source of protein, is low in carbohydrates and high in zinc and iron, if you're interested in such things. It can be baked, grilled, fried... you name it.

My one Grandma even lived a few miles off grid next to Hungarian border the other side of this man made dam out of dirt (wish I knew name of it. Can drive on top of it too) that supposedly run for who knows how long from Romania into Hungary. Every 20 years years or so the black sea rises and Grandma's farm becomes a very tinny island where she has to use a rowboat. Summers away from school were spend at Grandma's place with her and my cousin, the farm animals, forests on one side, a river on another, the dam on the other two sides and two neighbors next to the other side of the dam (one farmers and another a family who maintained the dam). Army guards patrolled around there too.

Those summers were like living the Calvin and Hobbes days. There were other farmlands around there there too and machines like combines and tractors came by during those summers to harvest and take what's there to the train station back in town. Would sometimes go bug these guys to operate the machines a little and sometimes hitch hike with them back to town to say hi to mom back in town (all without asking permission from Grandma, was free to do as I pleased as a kid... a mentality that still exists) while I waited for tractor ride to come back from train station to bring me back. There were even watermelons that grew there next to this these rows of corn, so it was easy to steal one every now and then from the guard on watch and enjoy. Oh yeah, sunflower seeds too. There was even a bulldozer knocking down trees, and that dude actually lived with us for two seasons. Got to ride that thing too, plus when guy was away for season I would play around the bulldozer sometimes.

I suppose that slightly explains it. Romania is pretty fascinating because its the only Roman country in Eastern Europe. Its isolated.

Also thats a pretty strange ethnic mix. I bet theres only a couple people in Canada with that specific ancestry, especially since those are rare European ethnicities here.

Can't rep. Good to see a man rewarding himself

Sigh...

I had two guesses: blood or squid ink.

I have a generous palette and an adventurous appetite: I would love to warp all over the world and sample all the exotic foods from different cultures.

But blood pudding (I'm pretty sure we would call it "bread" or "cake") just sounds... iffy. I imagine it would taste very rich and metallic, like liver (which I don't like). I have a lotta love for the British, but their food... idk, man.

Just out of curiosity, is there any traditional American food that Brits are just totally repulsed by?

Had a good Serbian friend in Toronto. Completely straight up guy, we were in tears laughing many times. Believe it or not - he, I and another European friend were talking conspiracies once, and he brought up that he believed the Earth was flat. Me and other buddy looked at each other and were all like "What? No, no. That's going too far. The Earth is not flat." lol. Got to get in touch with him again and visit Toronto one of these days, see my bro too.

Canadian immigration was first preferenced towards Northern and Western Europeans. I think they started allowing Eastern and Southern European immigration at around the same time the flood gates to the 3rd world were opened.

Not me. I really like American food, but I think that's because you guys have a very diverse range of food when you consider all the different cultural influences on American cuisine. There's pretty much an American dish to suit everyone's tastes.

First day and attempt at fasting and you guys still talking about food. ... mmmm, homemade blood sausages from home raised pigs. Haven't had those since the 80s, yet still remember them and how they taste. A testament to their awesomeness.
