@laprice We can try assuming no knowledge at all. Starting from kitchen basics, with the intention of finding a common starting point and building out from there. But then we take the risk people might get bored, or worse, feel patronised. In discussing anything with anyone, one walks a constant tightrope between accusations of being elitist, or boring/ arrogant.
Knowing stuff sucks. I totally understand the protagonist in Pi taking a drill to his head.

It's the "of course," uttered by the female figure in this cartoon that puts it over the top, of course.
@laprice @Alice @TheBreadmonkey
Is this, by chance, a pastiche?
@Guillotine_Jones @laprice @Alice
A small green delicious shelled nut?
@TheBreadmonkey @laprice @Alice
You may be thinking of pasticcio, Ben.

oh, you mean Prosciutto . . .
@cgsines @TheBreadmonkey @laprice @Alice
Wasn't Prosciutto the father figure in that story?

What? The iconic tabletop football game, created in 1946 by Peter Adolph, where players simulate association football by flicking miniature plastic figures with their fingers across a felt pitch?

@laprice @TheBreadmonkey I’m going to start introducing myself to others as Alice McFlurry as if I expect them to know who I am and I can only hope that Ben will do the same by introducing himself as The Bread Monkey.
@Alice @TheBreadmonkey @laprice Wait. You weren’t using your real names? I didn’t have to use my real name? WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?
@TheBreadmonkey @Alice @laprice
EXACTLY like Madonna and Prince.
But if you ask me, I'll be unable to explain how they're alike.
@Alice @laprice @TheBreadmonkey I'll just NameDrop you in regular conversations, Alice
@NickGates @laprice @TheBreadmonkey 😂 Please let me know how that goes!
@m3t00 A McFlurry with Maltesers? I'll take two!
