The Kingdom of Nyet with Heather Wade

[anniem]

She loves guests!

I think so too!!
I could just holler for "Miss Missy!  Mr Man!!". Slather some paint on a rock and I'd be in!

If I had to guess, it would be the inability to store liquid in a vessel for long periods rather than absence of any raw materials.  The natives out here used baskets for water-carrying.

In the southwest, though, pottery was pretty advanced.  I wonder if anyone has tested them for beer residue.

It is strange since animal parts properly prepared etc could've been used for storage in addition to societies that had pottery. Even gourds and wood could be used. And being hunter/gatherers once would suspect they would "notice" animals acty strangely after eating some fermented fruit, certain mushrooms, etc or simply by being hungry and needing even themselves experience it. Certainly the weird way some natives "figured out" how to make a kind of alcoholic beverage (chewing crap and spitting and fermenting, etc) is harder than making simple "wine" from fruits? Or "beer" "wine" from rice etc? But maybe not domesticated enough? (But some tribes were fairly location based?)

Intriguing! I am useless at painting the nails on my right hand.

Mr FLB help?  I'm ambidextrous so I can do both of my hands.

I may ask just to watch him squirm!

[anniem]

Trying to intimidate us with their accents ...

SO scary, accents!

[albrecht]

SO scary, accents!

"Little Miss Thang" was trying to intimidate with her accent!! 

[anniem]

And it’s pronounced Ant not Aunt, carmel not Caramel, here’s a bonus - don’t you make me call my Goddamn lawyer. GD is when you really know we mean it.

Yes, when my father said "SIMMER DOWN, GODDAMN IT", as opposed to the slower more sinister "simmer dooown...." we knew what to do when.

[anniem]

Keep up @anniem , the "turkey" was a roll

What was rolled?  Bread?

and it was stuffed with, wait for it, vegetables and stuff then coated with crumbs of some sort. The "gravy" was in a packet. All this for the low, low price of $18. We cooked 3 of these. Not exactly cheap.

Or appetizing...

[anniem]

I thought they called them "Johns"?

LOL!!

[anniem]

Why are there so many pages??? Don't you people have better things to do? Heather's not even on now!!!

I know!  We should move all this to Dave's thread. Miss Missy does not deserve the points attributed to her nasty name.

Oh come on!  You're saying they didn't really use all the parts of the buffalo?

Well I think you'd need a sedentary society to develop rudimentary beer.  The various Mound Builders would qualify and were based on corn agriculture, but they were almost invariably located on rivers, so maybe it just didn't occur to them?

I think there is some nasty type of "beer" made from milk or cactus the various natives from Mexico and south made? But pre-European (not distilled as they do now.) But I figure the Finns would bring their own on their conquests. And Bill from Madison might agree. Not sure why our N.American Indians didn't brew stuff? I guess tobacco and/or weed was sufficient?

Some people’s made fermented corn brew and there’s that spit beer.

Spit beer?  Take a sip and someone says something funny, right?

[Journey]

I see Heather is actually feeding the new beau.

Maybe he is “The One” and has to be kept alive.

What the heck is that piece of meat , a rabbit ?

I find it suspicious and suspect a cover-up by them. Probably in some Smithsonian Warehouse/Masonic Temple there are crates of the best beer, wine, and distilled spirits ever made which was done by complex and exacting process by ancient Native Americans.....who also were giants.
