#yes they did
Text
Today's version of a frequently-repeated theme around here:
@petermorwood sees documentary on YouTube and gets curious about contents of menu: in this case, in a 1930s film about one of the classic European Mitropa dining cars
Comes downstairs to get a better look at the rather fuzzy menu on the big TV
After intense joint scrutiny, phonecam image of the screen (because unfortunately the screen darkens when paused, so the image has to be caught on the fly)...
...reveals "Schottische gerstensuppe",: "Scottish Barley Soup".
Immediate recipe search ensues. Discovery while searching: "Graupen" is apparently a regional word for gersten, "barley". Who knew. :) Ingredients: onions, garlic, boneless lamb from the leg or shoulder, leeks, carrots, celeriac, bouillon, bay leaf, salt, pepper, grated nutmeg...
(omnomnom)
Add leeks and stewing lamb to end-of-week shopping list.
And then back to work...
cc: @flowerbarrel: Here's the film Peter was looking at. Here, also, is a longer one featuring some of the same footage, additionally including a look at how Mitropa services worked toward the end of their run in the late 90s. And a third one featuring one of these handsome old restaurant coaches refurbished and turned into a stationary restaurant.
Disclosure: we got to ride a few of the trains featuring Mitropa dining cars before the service closed down, when food service generally moved to a model featuring more precooked food instead of actual cooks cooking things to order. The attentiveness and expertise of staff working these dining cars was always fabulous, and the food was routinely terrific even when it was just something extremely simple like gulaschsuppe (@petermorwood's favorite).
Meanwhile, it's still possible to get reproductions of Mitropa's famous "coffee core" service pieces. They're not cheap, but the genuine articles, if they're in anything like good shape, are way more expensive. (sigh) Nostalgia...
#it can be dangerous business#having two inveterate researchers in the same house#especially when food's involved#Mitropa#and a straightforward answer to the question#“did they serve soup on trains?”#Yes they did#(and yes they still do)

You've got to love how the live-action Disney Beauty and the Beast acknowledged just about every single nitpick under the sun that had been made about the original animated film - Why don't the villagers know about the castle? How far away is the castle from the village? How old was the prince when he was cursed? How many days have passed inside and outside the castle? Was the Enchantress justified in casting the curse? - and so on and so forth,
but while they did shoot the scene, they ultimately drew the line at including the nitpick about 'Wait, did one of the servants get turned into a toilet???'

Thing #1: I got myself a pair of night driving glasses to cut down on glare. It's tolerable on my drive to work, but I've noticed driving long distances in the dark is getting more and more uncomfortable. The number one thing it helps with? The glare of my own led headlights reflecting back at me off of every surface. Other lights, too. It doesn't really stop the starbursts around lights, but it does make them less stabby.
Thing #2: I've lost my earbuds. Unless they're somehow still at work... I'm without my podcasts and music today. Light a candle for me. I've ordered a new pair to come this afternoon just in case... but that doesn't help for this shift. 😭

"people show their true colours in life threatening situations" no, they show you what they act like when they're mortally terrified, an emotion notorious for literally turning your entire brain off to the point where people who go into those situations as a profession need to be literally trained on how to not have that happen
#am i arguing with random 'philosophical' type villains in my own head?#yes#it's a favourite past time of mine i hate every one of those 'i know the true nature of humans because i did horrible things to them' types#with every part of my soul

the worst part about being an adult is thay its no longer socially acceptable to just roll down a really big hill and then run back up it and roll back down again. "oh is this a syphilis metaphor" passerby would ask. "is this for a tick tock". no i just wanna come home covered in dirt and scratches and bask in the the solace of childlike mirth
#m text#everyone rbing this without the addition and commenting 'op did you mean sisyphus' yes. yes i did#'where did the discord screenshot reblog go did you delete it' well in the 10mn after posting it someone had a funnier reblog#so i was like oh. ill delete the less funny one i did for the funnier one#and then. guess what got big.

advice i think we should tell children is that when adults say stuff like ‘now that i’m an adult i get really excited about stuff like coffee tables and bathrooms and rugs etc’ they don’t mean ‘and now i don’t care about blorbo and squimbus from my childhood tv shows anymore’ bc your average adult still loves all the same pop culture stuff they always did; they just have a greater appreciation for the mundane as well. growing up just means you can enjoy life twice as much now. you can get really excited about a new stuffed animal AND about a new kitchen sponge. peace and love
#peach rambles#you don’t have to get rid of blorbo and squimbus!! they would look great on top of your beautiful new nightstand you’ve been excited about#hall of fame i guess#i get. the sneaking suspicion this post has inspired at least two other posts#to the effect of ‘uhmmm i was ALWAYS excited about these things??’#yes i did have to do my own chores as a kid prommy. i just didn’t have feelings about stuff yet ok
