1 00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:04,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to Stuff You Missed in History Class, a production 2 00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:13,800 Speaker 1: of I Heart Radio, Hello and Happy Friday. I'm Holly 3 00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:17,400 Speaker 1: Fry and I'm Tracy V. Wilson. We talked about the 4 00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:21,639 Speaker 1: French Republican calendar this week. We sure did. I love 5 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:26,400 Speaker 1: this crazy experiment. I'm still imagining the Day of Convictions 6 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,760 Speaker 1: as like, well, actually day. I don't think that's what 7 00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:32,400 Speaker 1: they met by it, but that's just how it struck me. 8 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,559 Speaker 1: I had similar thoughts when I was reading about that. 9 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,320 Speaker 1: I will say, like, the idea of not having holidays 10 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,640 Speaker 1: kind of uh, you know, scattered throughout the year and 11 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:44,640 Speaker 1: a clump of them at the end sounds awful to me. 12 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:50,319 Speaker 1: But that's yeah. Um, before anyone brings it up, let 13 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,639 Speaker 1: me just say my husband already did it for you. 14 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 1: When I was like, this is bananas? Why would anyone 15 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 1: do this? And he was like, aren't you the person 16 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,120 Speaker 1: that wanted to get everyone on Swatch internet time? And 17 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 1: I'm like, yes, I think I had similar thoughts, and 18 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 1: I stand by that. But the thing is, that's like 19 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,399 Speaker 1: one thing, and it wasn't meant to fully supplant everything else, 20 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:14,119 Speaker 1: and it would put everyone on the same simplified thing, 21 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:18,319 Speaker 1: which Incidentally, Swatch beats would have been the same I 22 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:23,320 Speaker 1: think as a minute in the French Republican calendar, since 23 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,119 Speaker 1: they had separated it out into a thousand beats a day. 24 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 1: And that's essentially what would have been happening ye with 25 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 1: that calendar, just math wise. But yet that's like one 26 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:37,320 Speaker 1: thing simple. Swatch Internet time was also not intentionally trying 27 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 1: to make life hard for people who wanted to go 28 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,040 Speaker 1: to church. Correct. It was not meant to up end 29 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:46,119 Speaker 1: the social norm in a way that that made people 30 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 1: abandon long held beliefs, which is part of the problem. 31 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 1: So I can't remember if I've told this story on 32 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: the show at any point, but any time now that 33 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: we talk about the French Revolution in any context, I 34 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 1: think about that time that we were in pa Ris, 35 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: and I think we were in Paris at the tomb 36 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: of Napoleon. We were I know exactly what you're talking about. 37 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: We had this tour guide who told us about the 38 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:12,799 Speaker 1: French Revolution and the French revolutions values of liberty, equality 39 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 1: and fraternity, and then she said and then Napoleon took 40 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: these values to the rest of the world through the 41 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 1: Napoleonic Wars. And I was like, excuse me, Napoleon. What 42 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,920 Speaker 1: There was a lot of looking around amongst our groups 43 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: like this is uh, this is a different take on 44 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 1: it than we have heard before. Yeah. Yeah, I feel 45 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 1: like that's what the French Republican calendar was trying to see. 46 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: Although Napoleon was like, get rid of this calendar. This 47 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: isn't working for anybody. Um, it really did strike me 48 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,799 Speaker 1: how funny it would be to identify your birthday by 49 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 1: like a flower. M h, I'm born on daisy. Oh okay, 50 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 1: what a what a nice day for you to people 51 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,959 Speaker 1: are well. And the thing that I really find interesting, 52 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: and this may just be me applying what I would 53 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 1: do in that situation, is that if you have a 54 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 1: scenario like that right in this calendar that's intended to 55 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: secularize everyone, I feel like giving everyone a birthday that's 56 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,920 Speaker 1: associated with something of nature is really just a breeding 57 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,119 Speaker 1: ground to like form astrology of a different flavor. Yeah. 58 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: I read that quote that was like, we're not basing 59 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 1: this on a cult, We're basing it on agriculture, and 60 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: I was just like, welcome to the cult of agriculture. Yeah, 61 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: I uh, you know, I, as I said, I'm fascinated 62 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 1: by change and I love the idea of this as 63 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 1: an experiment, but oh what a nightmare. We talked about 64 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 1: some more upontumous foods this week, we did. I had 65 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: a longer list than two, but those two got very 66 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: very busy in terms of having a lot of information, 67 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 1: so they kind of filled up the whole episode. Yeah, 68 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: those those others will go on to the next one, 69 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 1: which will happen at some point in time. Um. But 70 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: Nana's foster, I feel like I should confess, came up 71 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: because I was traveling this weekend with friends who were 72 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,279 Speaker 1: very excited to eat Banana's foster, and I had that 73 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 1: moment of like, where did that come from? Um? And 74 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 1: so then I started reading in my hotel room that night. 75 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: That was the end of that. UM. And Salisbury steak 76 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 1: is the thing. Let me tell you, this girl loves 77 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: the Salisbury steak. I love it to this day. Give 78 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 1: me that TV dinner Salisbury steak with gravy. I love 79 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:43,279 Speaker 1: it so much. I questioned the nutritional value of it, 80 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 1: but I'll eat it just the same now and not 81 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: very often. I have such like seven year old sense 82 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 1: memories of it being like a special thing. Because we 83 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,600 Speaker 1: did not eat out very often, and my mom was 84 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 1: very big and always preparing all of our meals, so 85 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 1: if we got like a TV dinner, it felt like 86 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: a holiday. I feel like my mom wouldn't make it. 87 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:09,160 Speaker 1: But the reason, as far as I know, was that 88 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: she had like an economical recipe to make it. Not 89 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: that not for any like health food reason. It's not 90 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,039 Speaker 1: the kind of health food my mom would have thought 91 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 1: of as no health food, I don't think. Yeah, I 92 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: mean we mentioned the top of that, like we I'm 93 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,720 Speaker 1: not a doctor, I'm not a dietitian. I feel like 94 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:35,840 Speaker 1: if all you ate were salisbury steak for a while, 95 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,479 Speaker 1: you would end up with a tummy ache. But yeah, 96 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: I would also get bored to tears. I'd be like, 97 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 1: is there a beschamel sauce in the house? Can we 98 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:48,720 Speaker 1: like anything else? Fry an egg? Great? I know there 99 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,039 Speaker 1: are folks that like eat the same things all the 100 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,160 Speaker 1: time and that is what works for them. And I 101 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 1: will like make a big, a big pot of the 102 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: same thing and eat the leftovers of that for a 103 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 1: multiple consecutive day, but like does not want to do 104 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,159 Speaker 1: that most of the time. Yeah, I have friends that 105 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,359 Speaker 1: won't eat leftovers, which kind of makes me sad because 106 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: some foods get better the next day, for sure. But 107 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 1: you know, whatever people want to eat, that's what they 108 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 1: want to eat, and that is great. That's uh Salsbury 109 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 1: steak though as a as a health food hilarious. Um. 110 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,480 Speaker 1: We mentioned in the episode briefly, And I don't want 111 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 1: to go into it too much because it's a family 112 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 1: that still exists, and like, I don't want to be 113 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 1: all up in their business. But I think my understanding 114 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 1: is that after Owen Brennan died, the main rift happened 115 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 1: between his widow and the rest of the family, and 116 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: that's what caused some of these these differences and some 117 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 1: some breaking um. And so I kind of think that 118 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 1: is why there are two distinct versions of that story. 119 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: One that is definitely Owen Brennan making a business decision 120 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 1: that we need to use bananas because there's so many, 121 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: and the other being him tasking his sister with coming 122 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,840 Speaker 1: up with something special and new. Um, I don't know, 123 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: you can still eat it Brennan's and it sure is delicious. 124 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: I'm almost reluctant to say that because there's a very 125 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 1: famous person who's now to cease that I was not 126 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 1: a fan of that used to talk about how much 127 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: he loved Brennan's. Um, but uh, don't worry about that. 128 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: It's still delicious. New Orleans is, as we all know, 129 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 1: one of the best food cities in the world in 130 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 1: my opinion. Um, and it's pretty amazing. And I know 131 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: that as Brennan's was getting on the map. You know. 132 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 1: Ella Brennan's memoir is pretty fun to read. It's an 133 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 1: easy read. She wrote it with her daughter pretty recently. 134 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: In Ella has since passed away, But she talks just 135 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: a lot about the restaurant industry in a way that's 136 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 1: very matter of fact, and she's like, you know, the 137 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 1: best thing you can have in the restaurant industry is 138 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 1: a friend, because she talked about like when you make 139 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: a couple of influential friends that can then help you 140 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 1: get the word out, help you get pr for your restaurant, 141 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 1: helped get reporters interested, Like that's how you grow a business, 142 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 1: like there's and it was just one of those like 143 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 1: it's full of good little tips like that. Also, who 144 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 1: doesn't want to now eat soft scrambled eggs and caramelized 145 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 1: bananas for breakfast? I do I have? UM, I can't 146 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 1: always deal with the texture of bananas, but that the 147 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 1: caramelized bananas sounded really good to me. I like bananas. Also, 148 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: the whole story about dealing with just a preponderance of 149 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 1: bananas reminded me of when we were in Iceland, which 150 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,320 Speaker 1: at this point was some years ago. My spouse and 151 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 1: I read a restaurant and one of the things on 152 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 1: the menu was a curry, and the description of the 153 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: curry and the menu didn't mention bananas at all. But 154 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 1: when it arrived, it was a banana curry, which I 155 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: wasn't expecting. Um and I have, like I have eaten 156 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 1: various foods made with bananas or made with plantains which 157 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 1: have some similar these this was a weird flavor profile 158 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 1: to me, like the things that it had been made 159 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 1: of did not go together to me. And I also 160 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 1: just I wasn't expecting there to be banana in it. 161 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,839 Speaker 1: That just was not on the description at all. And 162 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 1: after we had finished eating, we stopped at this grocery 163 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:24,719 Speaker 1: store to get some some road snacks for the next day, 164 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 1: and we passed by this table that was normally would 165 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 1: have been covered in bananas, but the bananas were on 166 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: sale and they were all sold out, and I was like, 167 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 1: is this what happened at the restaurant? Say, hey, there's 168 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,839 Speaker 1: a sale on bananas, let's make something out of it. 169 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 1: Probably not, but that was the story I wrote for 170 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 1: it in my head to explain why I had such 171 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: a strange that's funny bananas, bananas. I just now I'm 172 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 1: thinking of Bob's Burgers, because there should do it that 173 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 1: Linda sings with Mr fish Shoulder called I like bananas. Also, 174 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 1: it's criminal that Kevin Klein has not gotten an Emmy 175 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 1: for Mr fish Shoulder's voice. That's all I'm saying, Um, criminal, 176 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 1: criminal um. I also wanted to mention the Universal Chopper 177 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:18,080 Speaker 1: because reading that passage was the most instant flashback of 178 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 1: my life, perhaps because both my grandmother and my mother 179 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 1: had those things that they used constantly. I mean, I 180 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 1: remember my mom running saltine crackers through it after she 181 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 1: was done, using it as part of the cleaning ritual 182 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 1: to it, like to help, you know, clean out all 183 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 1: of the meat residue and stuff. I think of it 184 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 1: so much as like a pillar of our kitchen. It's 185 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 1: just it was just fascinating to me, and I was like, Oh, 186 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:48,560 Speaker 1: I wonder how old are universal. Chopper was because it 187 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:55,599 Speaker 1: looked exactly like the pictures from I was looking like conceivable, conceivable, 188 00:10:55,679 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 1: I suppose, Um, my grandmother's I'm sure similarly aged. Yeah 189 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 1: have you ever? And I used to love that thing, 190 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 1: like as a kid, I wanted to turn that crank 191 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,440 Speaker 1: all the time. Oh yeah, the meat grinder. And you 192 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 1: can use it to chop other things other than me. 193 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 1: You can use it to do vegetables or you know what. 194 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: ELPs but instant, instant flashback for me memories. We had 195 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 1: a I don't think we had one of these. We 196 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 1: had a greater thing that had similar sort of set up, 197 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 1: but seems like it probably would have been a little 198 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 1: easier to take apart and clean. Maybe yeah, um, just 199 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:46,560 Speaker 1: because of the way I went together. Kitchen implements, they 200 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 1: are right. It's funny, you know, we're always getting like 201 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:53,560 Speaker 1: new and exciting kitchen implements right, Like they're little you know, 202 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 1: many steamers so you can make kind of fake souvid now. 203 00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,679 Speaker 1: And there are like a jillion mini wafflers, and I 204 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 1: wonder which I purchase all of them? Um, and I 205 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 1: love a novelty waffle maker. I can't resist it. I 206 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,839 Speaker 1: have a problem. But then I wonder, like in a 207 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: hundred years or people going to be like people used 208 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 1: to put even eggs in these tiny waffle makers. Yes, 209 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 1: my brother and sister in law got us a breakfast 210 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:23,439 Speaker 1: sandwich maker one time, which my sister in law had 211 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 1: found there's to be incredibly helpful, especially while pregnant and 212 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 1: just couldn't like deal with things some of the time. Um, 213 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,079 Speaker 1: and we did make really delicious breakfast sandwich is out 214 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 1: of it a lot. And then after a while we 215 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 1: were like, we have this one device that we are 216 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 1: using occasionally to make breakfast sandwiches that we could also 217 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,079 Speaker 1: make without it. So when we were in the process 218 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:51,319 Speaker 1: of move, like culling things to move, uh, we found 219 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 1: a new home for the breakfast sandwich maker. I ran 220 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 1: into a bit of confusion recently, uh, in an interaction 221 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 1: with someone on Twitter, because I will mix scrambled eggs 222 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 1: with cheese and put them in a mini waffler and 223 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,680 Speaker 1: make a little That's how I like to make scrambled eggs. 224 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 1: It's just easy, um, and then they're cute. That's not 225 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,320 Speaker 1: how I always scrambled eggs. But this person had replied 226 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,479 Speaker 1: to me and said, like, oh, I've heard that Americans 227 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 1: make scrambled eggs a lot differently than how we do 228 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 1: here in Europe. I this explains a lot, and I'm like, no, no, no, no, 229 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 1: this is not how people do it. No, no, no, 230 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 1: don't let me be your standard. Um. And I got 231 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 1: to asking them what the scoop was and they were 232 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:38,440 Speaker 1: saying that, like there's milk involved and that there was 233 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 1: something else, and I was like, no, but those things 234 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,319 Speaker 1: you're hearing are not standard ways to make eggs either. 235 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 1: Some people put milk in but not everybody, and like 236 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 1: there was something else and now I'm forgetting it. But 237 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 1: it was very funny. I was like, please, don't think 238 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 1: that this is how people make scrambled eggs in the US, 239 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:59,839 Speaker 1: because I'm probably an outline. But boy, it sure is 240 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 1: a andy way because I can make a very crispy 241 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: that way with the cheese on the outside, and I 242 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,080 Speaker 1: can walk around the house eating it like a finger 243 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 1: food when I'm getting ready in the morning, like to 244 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 1: you know, record, or if I have to go somewhere, 245 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 1: I could put it in a napkin and take it 246 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 1: on the road. Protein and deliciousness. Scrambled eggs in the 247 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 1: mini wom and then I have, you know, scrambled eggs. 248 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: It look like spider web.
