Anyone notice food shortages?

They’re measuring in cm now instead of cum.

[urodacus]

I said cun, not cum

I think 1 cun is about 2.2 cm, or something like that. So, yes, an eleven cm carrot will not satisfy you as much as an 11 cun carrot might

Try explaining that to your ama in the vegetable market

I dunno, I’m thinking of Discworld’s Nanny Ogg and guessing the ama needs zero explanation of the concept. Rather, she’s explaining it to everyone else.

Even an 11 cun carrot wouldn’t satisfy an ama unless it also had some width.

I think a lot of us just tapped out of the vegetable conversation…

That’s “girth” in at particular genre?

@Brianjones

That’s a whole new thread !

Not so new, we’ve done that before!

But yes, i notice that carrots and beans and other long vegetables are all much shorter these days. They’re measuring in cm now instead of cun.

I still see long beans.

Follow the water and labor availabilities

Bok choy is back.

Only problem is most stores in my area are closing earlier in the evening.

I personally find the cucumber to be the most sensuous vegetable. Not the tiny little Japanese variety either.

[urodacus]

I like bitter melon. All those little curves and grooves!

[afterspivak]

Yeah! And you can enjoy it in Okinawa in goya chanpuru!

If you guys get vagina or butt cancer, don’t say no one ever told you.

One word: Pesticides.

[DKaoshuing]

The chat has gone from a shortage to too much food to eat and trying to find other uses for the surplus vegetables.

[afterspivak]

Or sticking them into our bodies in various ways.

Crikey, you lot have dirty minds. OliviaLinToo merely expressed a preference for non-Japanese cucurbits.

Although there is this:

100 pcs Seeds Rare Black Cucumber – GreenSeedGarden

Apparently, people who try them lose all interest in the regular variety.

[Explant]

Olivia, finley has invited you out…what say you?

I think its fair to mention who should bring the rubber. Gloves.

Food production and mating used to be a similar affair, but it has evolved beyond my scope. You kids go have fun now…

Milk is restricted at costco. At first it was just the kirkland brand. Now it is the imei too. One set of two per card.

[Explant]

Whats the reason for that? Milk isnt exactly something people can hoard and store long term

[Icon]

Summer probably. Poor local cows can’t produce in this heat…

Wait a second…milk here is mostly imported…back to the drawing board.

Most weird: plenty of IMEI milk in convenience stores.
