I'm wondering how you ended up at the website of a Quebecois dairy in the first place.
He googled "Princess Leia Spanking."
1: I was watching this video on how butter's made, and I saw the brand name. It's pretty darn exciting, my life.
They grow oranges in Quebec?
Anyway, although I'm a huge milk drinker myself, I thought I should point out the rampant occidentocentricity of "Milk is the archetypal vital food, a dietary resource and symbol of purity, synonymous with wealth and abundance." Tell that to the Chinese, or the rest of the half of the world's adult population who are lactose intolerant.
The basic principle of baby-making has remained ..

In a greenhouse, maybe? (Can you have trees in a greenhouse?)
I bought a tomato the other day that was of Canadian origin, which kind of threw me.
Indeed, who is able to resist a hot piece of pie served with ice cream?
Certainly not me!
That's a lot better written than the origin story for Allen's Coffee Brandy.

I've seen it. There are bananas growing in Pittsburgh.
Lactase persistence has evolved independently in humans at least twice (East Africa, Balkans) and probably more often (Northern India, middle eastern nomads, central asian nomads).
Maybe there was just one guy with a raging libido, a yen for the open road, and a wad of yogurt?
11: It would have to be a few different types of yogurt, though, right? Because it seems to have been a multi-cultural development.
6, 9: My Dad grows limes in upstate NY.
He googled "Princess Leia Spanking."
I briefly wondered about the possibility of Unfogged ending up the # 1 hit for that particular search...then realized that there's really no chance.
Well, it's hard to distinguish independent origin from diffusion of the relevant allele, presumably by just such cheese wanderers (yogurt has bacteria that help significantly with lactose metabolism, so is not as sensitive of a test substance).
One thing that always puzzles me when I read early diet enthusiasts is that nobody mentions spoiled food. Raw milk and unpasteurized cheese are about as dangerous as driving even with refrigeration; Listeria and Salmonella are both dangerous, often leading to much worse than just dehydration. But immune response doesn't have simple genetics, so can't be reasonably studied even in existing populations, let alone in ancient ones.
Fermentation is a pre-industrial adaptation, and leads to food with helpful live bacteria in many cultures.

Driving without refrigeration (DWR) has been an even bigger issue.
12 was almost too subtle.
If it's any consolation, I also considered asking whether the bananas you mentioned are known locally as the Pittsburgh Peelers. But I figured that was just too dumb.

Thanks a bunch for not posting it then.
20: OK motherfucker, this means war.
22: What are you plantain to do to him?
Orange you glad I.......oh, never mind.
I have a nefarious plan to stem the tide of his gratuitous puns and insults.
I love how cosmopolitan Stanley is, all watching Canadian How It's Made episodes in between British quiz shows.
Herr Blandings, did you get my email?
27: I did, and then forgot to reply. Reply just sent, in case it's still useful.
Completely unrelated, yet joyful (Amazon recommended this to me because...it knows I'm gay? I dunno):
The Wenger 16999 Giant Swiss Army Knife.

Bad tooth pick placement, indeed. (See what I did there?)
(Sorry about not embedding links. I will look it up one day.)
Loosely related: my own private version of heaven would be to be surrounded by beautiful women, listening to Vin Scully recite this radio ad from 1980 over and over:
So what's new? Not bacon. Bacon is almost as ancient as time itself. It was mentioned by Aesop in the sixth century B.C. It was a staple in medieval Europe. And in Norman England, bacon was so universally accepted, it was sometimes used as money. And monastery monks awarded bacon to husbands for not quarreling with their wives. Indeed, bacon is no Johnny-come-lately. Through the years, it has survived the competition of thousands of new products, and the bacon bin continues to be a popular spot in our modern supermarkets. One reason is the quick energy it survives, and another its matchless flavor. Which brings up the most flavorsome bacon of all: Farmer John. For this is a bacon with a sweet, savory goodness from hush-hush secrets in the curing, plus a much heartier Western flavor from Farmer John's old-time Western way of doing the smoking. No other bacon like it -- if you haven't tried it, why delay any longer? The next time you shop, take home the bacon from Farmer John.
Would it happen to be straight women kissing each other with whom you would be surrounded?
Not really. I think they'd also have to be into the old-time radio bacon ad.
You didn't wish that you have access to actual bacon, though. You're really in hell, Halford!
I've seen it. There are bananas growing in Pittsburgh.

There are two of them. In the conservatory.
21 made me laugh so much that my fellow patrons probably think I've consumed more of my Mexican martini than I have.
