Alfalfa sprouts are pretty gross. My mom grew 'em indoors when I was a kid and tried to sneak them into my sandwiches. Wait, what were you dong talking to my mom, Stanley? Also, it's weird that you would consider putting Cheddar before Provolone. I think it probably goes before Swiss, to be honest, with Provolone a distant fourth -- or maybe even fifth, after Pepper Jack or some shit.
I had Cheddar and Provolone as equally likely to be there.
I like those little pickled banana peppers, the ones without much heat. I call them peppercini, but that usually confuses people.
what were you dong talking to my mom, Stanley?
I won't answer this; I'm a gentleman, ari.
3: you should try calling them "peperoncini", see if that goes any better.
The three must-have cheeses would be cheddar, Swiss, and American. (Almost) nobody actually likes alfalfa sprouts, and most people would probably view them as cheap filler.
I associate alfalfa sprouts with sandwich places on the west coast. This is probably a spurious correlation.
I like sprouts on sandwiches, but I don't judge people who don't.
What the fuck kind of sandwich bar doesn't have liverwurst?
What the fuck kind of sandwich bar doesn't have liverwurst?
Sifu's my dad and my grandfather? WHOA.
I vote for olives.
My memory is that every sandwich I ever got here came loaded with sprouts whether I wanted them or not, but that might be an exaggeration. The extreme cases had such a huge pile of sprouts that I couldn't taste the other contents of the sandwich.
In all seriousness, I don't think I understand what a sandwich station consists of. There's, like, metal trays of cold-cuts under a sneez-gard? Do you pick them out by hand?
If you make a sandwich with liverwurst, sprouts, and hazelnuts you can pretend you're eating the Mississippi.
Also: I want my sandwich on rye. And the lettuce had better not be iceberg.
12: I believe he was thinking of the kind where an employee prepares the sandwich, because he compared it to a university sandwich station I'm familiar with that was of this type.
14: The exercise is not about what you want, but rather what you can reasonably expect, given the circumstances.
Where are these sandwich stations? Is this like a deli counter in a grocery store? What a world.
17: Harris Teeter has just that. He was describing a workplace cafeteria that, like the university he and I attended, has such a station.
18: well then, if it's like a deli counter in a grocery store, they need -- at a minimum -- Ham, turkey (smoked and roast), roast beef, salami, provolone, swiss, jack, red onions, tomato, lettuce, mustard, mayo, oil, vinegar and -- and this is absolutely key -- avocado, and bacon. Oh and probably russian dressing. And maybe cole slaw.
12 et seq. (esp. 19): And then I posted about sandwich stations on Unfogged. FML.
One of my workplaces has a cafeteria with sandwich station. In addition, there is a burger station, a fried chicken station, and an old-people station with a "meat and two sides" meal of the day. We're supposed to get a pizza station soon.
And a variety of breads, obviously. White, wheat, rye, bulkie roll, maybe ciabatta if you're nasty. Any and all of them toasted.
And man, you know what? Fuck it, sandwich peppers. Moby is right.
and an old-people station with a "meat and two sides" meal of the day.
"Soylent Green Incorporated... is people."
21: Well, what does the sammy station feature, Moby? This is for science.
19: Why would you need Russian dressing without corned beef and sauerkraut?
And then I posted about sandwich stations on Unfogged
Psssh. Joy beyond the dreams of Dagwoodhood.
24:
Meat: ham, pepperoni, salami, turkey, some horrible thing that I think is supposed to be like capicola, egg salad*, tuna salad*
Cheese: Swiss, Provolone, American. That's it.
Toppings: lettuce, tomato, black olives, green peppers, banana peppers, jalapeno peppers, onions. Probably some other things, but no sprouts or avocado.
Dressing: oil and vinegar, mayo, and others that I don't know about.
Bread: Wheat rolls, white rolls, flour tortillas (plain, spinach, tomato).
*Don't bother to say it. I don't care.
Which is strange because the sandwiches are not very good.
I'm just stoked that my new job has a coffee machine.
New contest! What's the absolute most disgusting sandwich (made from ingredients at the sandwich bar -- no cheating and adding old-people meat or the grease from frying the chicken) you could have them make at the sandwich bar at Moby's office?
30: I'm utterly shocked that my workplace doesn't. What kind of morons don't see the value in providing free coffee to people you expect to work hours and hours a day for a pittance?
I'm thinking salami, swiss and green peppers on a tomato wrap.
I'm thinking a white roll "wrapped" in black olives.
31: I'm only at that office a couple of days a week. My other office is near regular sandwich places.
Maybe mayo wrapped in egg salad.
No bread. Egg salad in left hand. Tuna salad in right hand. Cover both with oil and jalapeños. Slam hands into your face.

The place I usually eat lunch doesn't even have sandwiches, but it's closed for most of the summer, so I go to the building made famous as the exterior of the hospital on House, which has: turkey (smoked and roast), ham, roast beef, chicken breasts (of the inedible variety), provolone, swiss, cheddar, tomato, lettuce, red onions, mayo, mustard (yellow and spicy), oil and vinegar. Quite a few kinds of bread, but otherwise I think it's pretty much the minimal set of options. Fairly shitty, as is all the food there.
There are great sandwiches down the road at the modern incarnation of this place, but their "old-people station" serves the only food in town that is both good and reasonably priced, so most people skip the sandwiches.
I am appalled that there are workplaces without coffee machines, and I don't even drink coffee. I've seen what happens to people who need it and don't get it, though. Disturbing stuff.
I'm just stoked that my new job has a coffee machine.
My workplace has a professional-grade espresso machine. Plus three different kinds of coffee brewed throughout the day by the office manager. Plus a single-cup cone drip cafe a couple of blocks away.
Jesus Christ we're spoiled.
What kind of morons don't see the value in providing free coffee to people you expect to work hours and hours a day for a pittance?
Be careful what you wish for. IME the coffee places like that end up supplying (when someone finally gets it through their head that it's worth doing) is worse than none at all.
My experience has led me to believe that the best cheese selection to make in Canada is to select no cheese at all. It significantly improved all sandwiches at one of the campus sandwich places.
I sometimes wish my office didn't have a coffee machine. The coffee it produces is truly awful, but because it's there and it's caffeinated and it's free and I'm as irrational as the next person, I find it difficult to justify going down to the street and buying decent coffee, which I would do without a second thought if we didn't have the machine.
44: I have a single-cup French press to avoid the office dreck. I still end up going to buy often times, but theoretically the French press is an easy workaround if you're willing to bring coffee grinds from home.
45: I had a co-worker who did that. I would have mocked her for it except that she did roller derby and could probably have mashed my face into the Mr. Coffee.
Alfalfa sprouts are a health risk, you careless fucks. That's why a lot of sandwich places have removed them. Sifu, I owe you an email.
I know most people here hate Subway, but I find it passable enough to have gone to a bunch of different locations (some really are awful), but they don't appear to offer oil and vinegar in Canada. Considering I usually get oil and vinegar as my only dressing when I go to Subway, this basically stopped me from going to Subway unless desperate.
In England (yes, I should be embarrassed to have gone to Subway in London), they offer corn as part of the default "everything." Amusingly, when I asked for everything except the corn, the people behind me in line started requesting no corn as well. The people in front all took the corn quietly.
48: That's why I keep my sprouts next to my plutonium.
49: we have this sprouts thing going.
but they don't appear to offer oil and vinegar in Canada.
If they did have gravy, that would be just perfect.
Perfect because I enjoy seeing Canadian stereotypes in action, not because I'd want to eat cold cuts and gravy.
Oh god, the Thai place where I get pad Thai for lunch includes some kind of really fat sprouts, which I always eat because the pad Thai is too spicy (I think they're fatter than alfalfa sprouts), and tonight I was kind of ill because of something in the mix. The sprouts look none too clean, and I should really abandon my devil-may-care attitude toward cheap food.
Corn on a sandwich? To think I had this crazy notion that people in London were civilized.
Subway tastes like plastic, although a different kind of plastic than Quizno's.
There's a semi-secret Thai place near somewhere I used to work where their fried rice special (Tuesdays, I think) was pretty good but their standard menu offerings were pretty variable. I generally went only on Tuesdays.
You know who made the world's worst sandwiches? Mao.
59: Maonnaise made everyone ask, "Y?"
32:
I'm utterly shocked that my workplace doesn't. What kind of morons don't see the value in providing free coffee to people you expect to work hours and hours a day for a pittance?
IBM. Shit coffee too.
Which is why they always come and hold meetings at our offices.
Anyway, minimum short of sandwich fillings that you may find in a Dutch canteen: ham, salami or cervelaat, boterhamworst (reconstituted pig or cow meat), young cheese, medium cheese, old cheese, light cheese, cheese with cumin, (all dead, wrapped in plastic), Beef American (raw meat), some sort of spreadable cheese in fifteen fucking flavours, little tubs of butter or margerine, no oil, no vinegar, little McDonalds type satches of mayo, ketchup and mustard, something weirdly meat like for the vegetarians, boiled eggs, various egg or chicken based salads (dunno which came fists) with if you're in luck some chicken satay salad, KROKETTEN! (but only on Friday).
Best sandwich you can get: osseworst with onion, basically semi-spreadable raw cow meat in slices; great if you want some privacy the rest of the afternoon...
bulkie roll
Is this what normal people call a Kaiser roll or a hard roll?
What's your new job, JM? Maybe you said on another thread (hey, that rhymes!), but I missed it.
Most important is that they have edible mustard: not that French's style yellow shit, the absolute minimum acceptable is Gulden's and I'd prefer something better. Same with hot dog stands.
Corn is a vegetable in Europe. Something exotic to sprinkle into salad, frex.
There's a deli/gas station here that's fond of putting corn into wraps. It seems odd, considering corn is rather fall-y out-y, but then it's also odd that there's a rather nice deli that sells gas.
FL has reduced alameida to capital letters!
At a bare minimum, an alameida post should contain capital letters, punctuation, and rosy toes.
I am appalled that there are workplaces without coffee machines, and I don't even drink coffee.
When Ma Bell was in 'please for the love of God someone buy us' mode, they tried to show some cost-cutting camaraderie by canceling the daily catered lunches at HQ. That offended the haves, though, so they decided to vengefully further extend the team spirit by pulling all coffee makers out of all break rooms company-wide in a general ouroboros of 'if you suffer, we suffer, so you suffer' management thinking. What a crapfest that place was.
Bare minimum I would expect would be white and wheat breads, two cheeses (swiss & American), ham, turkey, roast beef, onions (no color preference), romaine (or better), tomato, yellow mustard, mayo. The sandwich station in the cafeteria nearest my office has significantly better than that, but that's what I would expect as the barest of bare minimum.
cost-cutting camaraderie
At my most hand-wringy point during the financial collapse, StanleyCo was doing belt-tightening and decided to stop providing cups for the coffee. From an environmental perspective, I fully supported the move; I mean, everyone's got a cup she can bring in to work.
But if Management had gotten far enough down the cutting list that they reached the part that said "Cups", I didn't want to imagine what the fuck was coming next.

Whereas at several places I've worked, the rented potted plants were a pretty reliable leading indicator of a tough spell coming on.
65.---I'm taking Bave's old job! Unfogged is so useful...
76: People rent potted plants? That's odd. Many plants are free and pots are readily, cheaply available.
76. This too is my experience. Most places I've worked only provide cups for guests on the assumption that people prefer their own because they feel less uniform.
78: People rent potted plants?
Yeah, at least the nice, big lobby and reception area-type stuff. Sometimes more. Often with as a service with watering, trimming and maintenance thrown in.
I like alfalfa sprouts on sandwiches with toasted bread, but not otherwise.
Often with as a service with watering, trimming and maintenance thrown in.
A guy I know is in this business. Boy howdy has he been hammered in this downturn.
74, 75: my (current and/or new) office has a coffee vending machine (a buck for a small, truly horrible cup of coffee -- excelsior!) and they have indeed stopped supplying cups to go along with it. You might say "damn, Sifu, watch out. That place sounds like it's on its last legs", and then I might tell you where it was, and then you would laugh and laugh.

Drinks are notoriously overpriced at comedy clubs. What I can't figure out is why a comedy club would hire someone to build killer robots. Maybe to act as bouncers?
FL?
Well, it's true about the sprout health risk, alas, since otherwise one would like to have sprouts (perhaps some other kind? are they less risky?) at one of these sandwich stations of which y'all speak.
I'm kind of sorry I missed this thread, food threads being among my favorites.
Ideal sandwich station options: wheat, rye, multigrain bread, various wraps, ciabatta or foccacia; smoked turkey, roast chicken; hummus; roasted red peppers, roasted eggplant; provolone, havarti, swiss, mozzarella (fresh and otherwise), feta; mustard (yellow and spicy brown), aioli, pesto; romaine lettuce, onions, black olives, tomatoes.
Broccoli sprouts are delicious. I don't buy sprouts very often, but I like them.
I associate coffee vending machines with Europe for some reason.
86: Yeah, I was going to say broccoli sprouts. I think they're more robust and meaty, less likely to become wilty and slimy; it's been quite a while since I've had them.
Sprouts are really easy to grow yourself -- that is, they pretty much grow themselves, and just require a large, open-mouthed jar, some cheesecloth, and a bit of attention to rinsing them regularly. They kind of just grow in water/moisture. It's been a while since I've done this. Sprouting things like lentils is pretty cool as well. Cooking with sprouted things is super-nutritious and eating them makes you feel strong!
Ahem. I should look into this again.
I sincerely love you, parsi, but sprouts taste like manky pubes. Phbleath.
You've just never had broccoli sprouts, Robust. Or do you hate broccoli as well?!
I observe that you mentioned upthread the desirability of roast beef. I'm tolerant there -- for a second I was afraid you were a fan of corned beef.
At my most hand-wringy point during the financial collapse, StanleyCo was doing belt-tightening and decided to stop providing cups for the coffee.
I had a roommate in the spring of 2008 who worked as a cook (specialty: pastries) in the dining area of the Merrill Lynch building. His employer was the dining services contractor, not Merill Lynch itself, but I wonder what happened when Merill Lynch ceased to exist.
when Merrill Lynch ceased to exist.
It didn't cease to exist; it was acquired by Bank of America.
I know that. But looking things up to see whether there were a bunch of layoffs, I see that the bailout apparently was very good for them. So I guess they still have a dining room.
You've just never had broccoli sprouts, Robust. Or do you hate broccoli as well?!
Broccoli is pretty not-okay, largely due to texture, but I'm trying to get over that. It is one of the many foods to which Rah has re-introduced me over the years.
I observe that you mentioned upthread the desirability of roast beef. I'm tolerant there -- for a second I was afraid you were a fan of corned beef.
Corned beef hash on the other hand? Dee-lish.
Corned beef rules. Corned beef hash rules. Sprouts are good. Broccoli's good. Look at all the omni in my voracious!
95 is mostly correct, if you mean "some sprouts are good." Eating excessive sprouts makes me feel like an ungulate, which I am not.
Though in checking to make sure that ungulate means what I think it means I find that aardvarks are ungulates, and I wouldn't mind being an aardvark. I'm a big fan of snuffly mammals.
Sprouts are yummy. Especially mustard sprouts. But there just aren't many foods that I don't like.
97: Mmm. Radish sprouts, too. Spicy sprouts of all kinds + broccoli sprouts!
But there just aren't many foods that I don't like.
Yeah, me neither. I don't love beef tongue. Or, um, those regular supermarket mushrooms you put in salad. And when you accidentally get a piece of gill when you're eating a whole fish, that's kind of gross. Oh, and chicken feet, while perfectly edible, are kind of not really worth it.
I just realized I had a pretty yummy thing with beef tongue not that long ago. Beef tongue on its own, I guess. Oh, and Vegemite is disgusting.
Beef tongue is nature's liverwurst. Of course, you might not like liverwurst either.
I rate most sprouts where I rate iceberg lettuce - not interesting enough to like or dislike. Brussels sprouts of course are the veg. the angels eat in heaven, when they're not eating broccoli (purple sprouting, not Calabrese, which is a poor substitute).
Apparently you lot call what we call sprouting broccoli calabrese, and what we call calabrese, broccoli. Thus are new languages formed. The best type I've ever eaten was something I only ever came across in Naples (Italy) which was like our broccoli/your calabrese, only leafier, and was fantastic.
Of course, you might not like liverwurst either.
I love liverwurst. I find it almost wholly unlike tongue, however.
I really like putting potato chips on a sandwich.
103: We really don't call any form of broccoli "calabrese" here -- and I am an expert, I tell you. Here you really only see the term on seed packets.
It saddens me that 96 is unsigned. I hereby christen its author Snuffly Mammal Fan.
OK, in Britain calabrese is the thick stemmed thing with a head like a failed green cauliflower; broccoli by default is the thin stemmed sprouting varieties, with separate purple or green flowers.
Today I'm a snuffly mammal, and I'm not fond of it.
108: Our thin ones are usually called broccoletti or broccolini. (If you care to learn the nature of my expertise -- which is a joke, actually -- you can mail to the gee mail!)
I'm quite easy about sandwich fillings as long as they don't have f'cking cucumber in them.
Why does the name "broccoli rabe" involve the word "broccoli", anyway?
111. Agreed, although I'm not that fussy (see above re sprouts and iceberg). Dr Johnson had the right idea about cucumbers.
Isn't "broccoli rabe" a cross?
They send out mouthwatering e-mail with the day's menu about 1100, just as you start to think about lunch.
105: Potato chips on a sandwich are tasty, but I can only assume that sort of behavior will lead you to be punished by God.
IIRC, I mentioned the cucumber thing at the meetup the other week, to general mystification, but I might have bee expressing it in a drunkenly confused way.
And yes, Johnson had it right.
The perfumed flavour of cucumbe is one that I really don't like, except when it comes in the form of raita.
I really like putting potato chips Cap'n Crunch and Pixie Stix on a sandwich
I'm late again in following this thread, but: what is wrong with cucumber [she inquires sweetly]?
I've been on a cucumber kick lately -- cool and refreshing! crunchy! good during grotesquely hot weather! though maybe not especially nutritious -- and I'm encountering a surprising number of people afflicted by teh cucumber-hatred.
I've been on a cucumber kick lately
Me too! And the kids eat them, which is a bonus. I can see not caring for the ones in the grocery store, which are flavorless, and certain subspecies (is that the correct taxonomy?) are much better than others.
Who could hate cucumbers? They're the vegetable equivalent of watermelon. (Not nearly as yummy, but that is true to the nature of vegetables vs. fruits).
Do pickles count? Because otherwise I'm not a fan of cucumbers.

Hey, do you guys remember the limerick barista? She told me today she voted for McCain in 2008, because of the "taxes". When pressed on the tax issue—specifically, whether she makes in excess of $250,000 a year—she explained that no, she does not, but her dad does. Adding: "Two hundred fifty thousand dollars just doesn't go as far as people think."
And then I poked out my eyes with the rusty nails that I had found alongside the five dollars.

The barrista who votes for McCain
From taxes would like to abstain.
Well, really her dad
Was whose money she had
A not unfamiliar refrain.
122: I do! I think there's a peculiar flavor in cucumbers that not everyone can taste. I can and I don't like it.
I do like pickles though.
Who could hate cucumbers? They're the vegetable equivalent of watermelon.
I despise both cucumbers and watermelons (but I love dill pickles). I subscribe to peep's theory of You People Just Can't Taste That Stank.
Also, that barrista is a moron and TLL is hilarious.
Give it to Mikey McManlyPants. He won't eat anything.
This is the first I've heard of the strange taste some people perceive in cucumbers. It would explain a lot, since I haven't otherwise understood the hostility.
Stanley, this is a non-starter, but maybe you could explain to the barrista that the $250,000 tax thing is a marginal tax increase. You know, only a higher tax rate on anything above $250,000. Perhaps she will go home muttering to herself about going Galt, though.
re: 129
It's a sort of perfumey taste; it's not necessarily completely unpleasant. It can work for me in a raita where it's counterbalanced by other flavours, and also small amounts in certain salads is fine. But when it's in sandwiches I find the perfumey flavour really quite nasty, and I'd never eat it as crudité.
"Two hundred fifty thousand dollars just doesn't go as far as people think."
I love this kind of logic. Median household income is ~50K. I think the vast majority of people--even the ones who are abysmally bad at math--understand that 5x that amount goes 5x as far.
"Crudite" would make a good name for a race of aliens in a bad Sci Fi movie from the 60s.
130: Yes, I probably dislike it a bit more than ttaM, but this is pretty much how I feel about cucumbers as well.
I do pick up a similar flavor from watermelons, but I can still enjoy watermelons if they are sweet enough.
You might say "damn, Sifu, watch out. That place sounds like it's on its last legs", and then I might tell you where it was, and then you would laugh and laugh.
You work for the Heritage Foundation, don't you.
5x that amount goes 5x as far
Sure, but her (dad's) expenses are five times as much, also. You think maids are free?
131: But she's right. The poor girl has to work, apparently.
The barrista just isn't very bright, yet anyway. She's in her twenties, maybe early twenties? Her dad tells her in rough outline that things are tight, or tighter than they once were, and, well. I'm not sure there's any way to tell someone that her dad is in the wrong.
"Crudite" would make a good name for a race of aliens in a bad Sci Fi movie from the 60s.

It's probably because of the UMC perception of things as necessities that are, at best, niceties. Yesterday I had to listen to an older faculty member trying to shame a young one over buying a modest house in a relatively moderately priced place because the guy's future children will suffer due to the mediocre schools. In the handful of neighborhoods in the entire state that the older guy deems acceptable for raising children, it's probably true that $250k/yr is marginally getting by.
I'm not sure there's any way to tell someone that her dad is in the wrong.
It sounds like this: "your dad is wrong!"
137: I'm not sure there's any way to tell someone that her dad is in the wrong.
How about, "I'm sure your stepmother has some issues and you can be upset with her for taking Mel away from your mom, but if you listen to these tapes you will see that he didn't flirt with racism and misogyny so much as take them to a cheap hotel and have a threesome with them."
It's the underlying assumption that really gets me: that no one is rich enough that they should have to pay taxes unless they're left with enough after-tax income to satisfy every possible want.
You think maids are free?
If only he was leasing an apartment in Texas!
You think maids are free?
The real expense these days is luggage handlers.

Stanley, here is your chance to play Henry Higgins! Why, after a year of dating this wretch, through your constant pedagogery you could pass her off as Rachel Maddow at the Modern Language Association Ball!
"I sold lattes. I didn't sell myself. Now you've made a lady of me I'm not fit to sell anything else. Back to you, Keith."
You guys are being mean! She's just really young and naive! Her dad probably hasn't told her a thing about the actual finances! It all happens by magic as far as she knows.
And have you seen Rachel Maddow's high school yearbook photo?
Her dad probably hasn't told her a thing about the actual finances!
Apparently he had told her "the stocks are down now, so we have less money", which didn't exactly go a long way towards garnering my sympathy. Also, she said weirdly contradicting things like, "I mean, I know John McCain would have been a horrible, horrible president."
"I mean, I know John McCain would have been a horrible, horrible president."
She's begging you, Stanley. Don't be a putz. I'm sure McManus would be happy to be Col Pickering.
Modern Language Association Ball
Man, I wish. The medievalists have a ball at theirs, but we don't. Sometimes the 18c conference involves singing and acting up, but no dancing.
"the stocks are down now, so we have less money"
That is clearly her attempt to let you know that she's now poor enough to date you.
"I mean, I know John McCain would have been a horrible, horrible president."
Oh good grief. I hope at the very least you said, "Well, maybe it's not good to vote for him."
Also, she said weirdly contradicting things like, "I mean, I know John McCain would have been a horrible, horrible president."
Let me run this through my Young Translator Program...beep-boop...boop...Ah, here we go:
"I repeat things other people say and I don't really have the means or inclination to evaluate them."
Hope that clears things up!
weirdly contradicting things like, "I mean, I know John McCain would have been a horrible, horrible president."
I knew someone in 2000 who was sort of the reverse: die-hard conservative who said he "had" to vote for Gore, even though he thought Gore would be a horrible, horrible president, because Bush was "for tort reform" and his dad (a lawyer, also conservative) told him tort reform would be very bad for lawyers. I thought the whole thing was incredibly sad, but I didn't argue with him about it.
I refuse to believe that the Calabrese is overrated.
Who could hate cucumbers? They're the vegetable equivalent of watermelon.
Cucumbers are fruits in the same family as watermelon, which helps to explain why they taste like watermelon rind.
Single issue voters aren't always about abortion, Brock.
But, if the barista is spending this much time talking to you, she's either interested in you or the coffee house is about to close for lack of business. Baristas never say anything to me about anything but my order.
157: Clearly, she should have been using her copious free time at work to read up on tax policy, yet Stanley encouraged her to write limericks. Stanley is an enabler.
Sure, blame it on the limerick-loving latte-lapping liberals.
There's no need to spew slurs like "latte lapper." This isn't junior high, essear.
Or Clurr has known you since junior high.
My uncle in the Yukon hates cucumbers with a passion, but cucumbers grow really, really well in his little greenhouse. So every summer, he grows immense cucumbers which he gives away to his neighbors.
163: Before the Mat-Su Valley area of Alaska became known for growing Palins, it was famous for its huge produce. For instance (possibly in the wrong thread).
Christ, that thing looks like an alien life form.
I posted some Palin crap from Alaska on the Unfogged Flickr group.
So every summer, he grows immense cucumbers which he gives away to his neighbors.
