So much for the "whats for lunch" thread.


From Snopes: "Processed forms of castoreum are also used as food additives; in the latter case primarily as enhancers of strawberry and rasperry flavorings in products such as iced tea, ice cream, gelatin, candy, fruit-flavored drinks, and yogurt."

(1) Everything that exists is processed something else. Your plastic spoon is processed oil.

(2) Vanilla flavor still typically comes from vanilla beans.

(3) A tiny bit of processed chemical that once may or may not have come from a beaver, used to enhance strawberry flavor, isn't as gross-sounding and hence not as interesting, even if it's more accurate.

Well, if we're going to quibble, I think your clarification is more precise but not any more accurate than the article.

Or proud imperial purple.

An' plenty be your fa';

Spiral staircases often turn clockwise from the perspective of the person climbing them. The reason for this comes from medieval times, when castles would feature them that way in order to put invaders at a disadvangate: Since most people are right-handed, the stair turning left when climbing up (usually the position of the attacker) left them exposed to those climbing down (usually the defenders).

This may have been true until the last few decades, but it certainly isn't anymore, at least in new homes the U.S. I've helped build dozens of wooden circular and spiral (and weirder) staircases for newer homes, and it seemed to be about 50/50... pretty much whatever struck the architects' and/or owners' fancy.

Among the buganda people of uganda, the widows of a deceased king have the honor of drinking beer in which the dead kings entrails have been cleaned in.


Likewise, of the few houses I've been in that had spiral stairways, I recall more counter-clockwise than not.

Come back to me with that when the burgundian hordes have taken over your unstrategically constructed staircases!
