In 2002, an American created a Wikipedia article about Yogurt, and called it "Yogurt". No big deal right?
Yoghurt was also added as an alternative spelling within the article text in March 2003. But the rumblings of controversy begin in November, when one editor writes:
Many people mispronounce Bach as if it should be spelled Bac and likewise many people mispronounce yoghurt as if it should be spelled yogurt. However in neither case does this seem to be a good reason for changing from the traditional spelling despite the fact that, in both cases, many English speakers have difficulty in forming the correct consonantal sounds. Some of us can, particularly those of us from Wales, Scotland and Ireland. I think it would be more phonetically accurate to use the yoghurt spelling in the article since it more closely suggests the proper pronunciation.
Nobody responded to this comment, so on Christmas day the very same Bong committed an unspeakable act of cultural aggression by renaming the article "Yoghurt". However since it's Christmas and even Wikipedia editors have lives, nobody notices for some time.
The article is reverted to Yogurt in June 2004, then back to Yoghurt in August, then back to Yogurt again in September. The Bongs are rallied on a UK Wikipedia notice board in October, and that same month the entire article is rewritten using Bongish spellings and literary conventions.
Since wiki rules state the spelling used in the first version of the article should be taken into consideration, as should common usage as defined by eg. Google ranking, on paper the Bongs are in the wrong. When a proposal to change it back is made in Novemeber, the Bongs' fearless leader cry cultural imperialism:
If the Google test is used as the justification to force the American spelling in this case then it could be used to force the American spelling in all cases and non-American spelling would be removed from the Wikipedia
Yoghurt is under attack again for not using the American spelling
After several more back and forth changes, people argue over whether Yogurt is an Americanism or international or what. Just look at this shit
After lots of a vote is taken, it's a tie, 15-15. The article is moved back and forth 4 times in February 2006 alone.
In 2007, one user attempts to sum up the arguments, clearly trying to shill "Yogurt"
Once the title is "yogurt", there will be no clear reason to change back to "yoghurt", and the article name will stabilize.
Later that same year, a poll is created and deleted and created again, and this time the results are 17-14. However, a "proud european" deems this to be a lack of consensus.
Someone proposes calling the article "Yog(h)urt" which everybody hates.
Arguments continue on for years until late 2011, when another attempt to summarize the whole of arguments is made, and increasingly the pro-yogurt side dominates. But an editor from the UK unilaterally closes the debate citing a lack of consensus. This action creates a backlash, with arguments about the argument being closed.
On December 2nd, a few new users entered the talk page to change the spelling to Yogurt once again, and an admin closed it because the previous discussion was too recent. This leads to an edit war, the admin locks the talk page, and then gets blocked for this by another admin.
The drama from this brought more attention to the issue, and with more eyes on the topic, a consensus was finally reached and the page was Changed to Yogurt on December 10th, 2011. There has been no discussion since.
All in all, 140,000 words were written on the topic, 4.5x as long as Shakespeare's play "Hamlet".

Hello fellow dramatards. I may well have asked this exact question before but I have forgotten the answers.
I am looking for advice on making spicier and tastier chicken and steak fajitas.
My method is:
1kg meat sliced thinly
1 red pepper
1 green pepper
2 onions
6 cloves of garlic.
Spice mix consisting of 1tbsp smoked paprika, hot chilli powder and cumin 1/2 tbsp of oregano and ground coriander.
I cook the veg and garlic first and when it's about halfway done I pour a bunch of Worcestershire sauce and Maggi seasoning liquid. A bit later squeeze a lime. This results in very soft tangy veg which I am very happy with and don't need to fiddle with.
Next I remove the veg from the pan, put the meat into the same pan and cook until almost done. I'll add some more lime juice and worcestershire sauce, etc. before dumping the spice mix in and finishing. Final step is stir the cooked veg in and then serve.
Now, I've tried adding more chilli powder in, a small amount of cayenne pepper but it's not reaching the spiciness I'm craving.
What can I add to make it more spicy without ruining the rest of the flavour?
Is it better to just get the spiciness through toppings such as jalapenos and sauces?

I was researching that while many old cookbooks will request you use a "burgundy" wine or other various regional French or Italian wines , this is largely anachronistic with modern wine production. Everything now is relativity high quality and a cheap, bold cali wine will do you just fine in a pot of beef stew.
Do you have a different opinion on the matter? Do you think it's worth paying $20 for an explicit variety of wine, a higher quality wine or just full send on the $9 wine on sale?
I also wonder if choosing a Cabernet over a Pinot Noir would make a huge difference or even something unconventional like a Malbec?

Reform MP Lee Anderson has been mocked for the 'worst full English ever' after he posted a picture of his fry-up and wondered how long it would take for someone to call it 'racist'.
The Member of Parliament for Ashfield posted an image of his meal from the canteen in Westminster shortly after 9am yesterday.
His picture showed a grey tray with cutlery lying next to a plate consisting of two sausages, fried mushrooms and several pieces of slightly undercooked bacon.
A large fried egg and a hash brown were also on the plate completed by a piece of black pudding which appears to still have the string attached.
Incredibly, the meal doesn't feature baked beans despite them being much-loved around the country.
The canteen appears quite empty with plenty of seats - however behind the tray sits a sign reading: 'Reserved for members only.'

So this guy is fed up with Chipotle portions and calls for a review bomb on the app store, getting over 1 million views
https://tiktok.com/t/ZPRKNjJ6L/
This protest gets amplified massively when a popular influencer named Keith Lee gets over 15 million views on a lengthy video pooping on Chipotle and basically claiming they fell off
https://tiktok.com/t/ZPRKNksNy/
Our protest guy ups the ante big time by telling people to go in, place an order, and walk out if the portions aren't big enough
https://tiktok.com/t/ZPRKLomAx/
Content creators seize the opportunity for engagement and start walking out on orders regardless of whether the portions are good or not

There are more videos but gauc is extra so you'll have to go look them up yourself
Currently Chipotle is sitting at a 4.5 on the Apple Store and 4.4 on Google Play

We were originally going to do a 5 or 7 course meal, which was going to be a series of "surprise" courses (that's how the resturaunt describes it) but when we got there we saw that the regular menu had both escargot and pigeon. There are pigeons all around Paris, pooping on statues and eating leftovers from fancy cafes, and we didn't want either of those options to be one of the "surprises" so we opted for just a dessert instead. This was a Wasabi ice cream over merangue, a strawberry circle, a lemond rind of some kind, and a merangue with appley filling that oozes open when you dig into it!

I want espresso at home but I don't want to faff around everytime I want a cup. Do Nespressos make decent espresso? Is the little, cheaper one any good? Should I get the built in milk steamer or a separate one?

First time making this! It tastes good but next time I need to chop my onions and peppers much finer. Also need to do 8 hours in the crockpot instead of 4 to really make the chicken less tough.

Ingredients:
1.5KG beef mince
4 cloves of garlic
30ml soy sauce
1 tbsp soy paste
1/4 tsp thai spice mix (or
IMPORTANT: NO VEG! DO NOT USE PEPPERS OR ONIONS! ALSO DO NOT EXCEED THE STATED SPICE MEASUREMENT 1/4 TSP IN 1500G OF BEEF IS PLENTY OF FLAVOUR!
Method:
Slop it all into a slow cooker and go to sleep for 8 hours.
Result:
Hmmmm, but what to do with all that delicious meat water? What delicious recipe will Bardfinn come up with once he's figured out how to remove the fat?
Right so this yet again looks disgusting. I don't know if it's the quality of the ingredients anymore or just Bardfinn's lack of ability to compose a photo or just the run-down backdrop of his kitchen.
However, the funniest thing this time is the tiny amount of flavour he's adding to 1500g of beef!
@can another Bardfinn recipe for the collection. No idea what he was going for here other than "warm beef paste, mildly flavoured".
