Oh interesting! I wonder if that’s a result of the prevalence of two-cycle engines in motorcycles a long time ago. Or maybe the ratio of motorcycles to larger vehicles is so low it doesn’t make enough of an impact to regulate them. Or if there’s a bit of regulatory capture from the motorcycle industry.
I’m pretty curious about this now. At least for the next ten minutes or so

Question. Are there countries in Europe that don’t have mandatory inspections?
There are states in the US that have very tight regulations and inspections, and states that hear “regulations are written in blood” and think it’s the regulation that kills people (Mississippi. It’s always Mississippi. Or Florida)
Not sure where I was going with this, but the state I live in sucks balls. I wish I could live in Norway. So pretty. It calls to my soul. Fjords are amazing. I want to wear knit undershirts and never hug anyone
This is the first time I’ve heard the girl version of pee is stored in the balls
Amazing
I like the cut of your jib!
You fell for the classic blunder!
But yes, Anna Taylor Joy is beautiful as well, and you’re a good human for wanting to help and inform.
A much better human than I
Dang that girl on the left is gorgeous!
Completely unrelated.
Do you run a script to automatically convert th to Thor, or is it a key binding to the symbol? Or something else? Just curious.
Also, yes, addiction and fascination are two different things. I miss when headlines were puns

So I got curious and went down the Wikipedia rabbit hole. Here’s the first paragraph from the apple butter article:
The roots of apple butter lie in Limburg (Belgium and the Netherlands) and Rhineland (Germany), conceived during the Middle Ages, when the first monasteries (with large orchards) appeared. The production of the butter was a perfect way to conserve part of the fruit production of the monasteries[1] in that region, at a time when almost every village had its own apple-butter producers. The production of apple butter was also a popular way of using apples in colonial America, well into the 19th century.
So yeah, apple butter has roots in Germany, at least for central Europe. However, other fruit butters have other origins, such as Lekvar and Powidi, as you mentioned. At the same time Latwerge and Apfelkraut were developing in Germany, monasteries in the British Isles were also developing apple butter as a preservation technique. It seems the tradition/technique developed in parallel as a communal way of preserving fruit.
Since grandma’s recipe included a sweetener it likely has its roots in the British Isles, where honey would be added to the preserves as a sweetener. Her apple tree produced a fairly sour soft apple, which also would inform that decision. The pies were amazing
I had tomato ice cream and tomato beer in Iceland. It was better than the fish jerky
Not sure if joking so I’ll answer seriously…
Like apple butter, or pear butter. Maybe it’s an Appalachian thing, I dunno. You chop up the fruit, let’s say apples, and slow cook them for a few hours. Then puree them, add cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, whatever, and a bunch of sugar. Can the results. We always used small mason jars that had been in the family for God only knows how long.
Grandma wouldn’t use a blender, she was old school. She’d add all the ingredients together in a big stock pot, drop a silver dollar in the bottom, and stir for hours, until she couldn’t hear the coin move around anymore. I say she stirred for hours, but she’d “enlist” the help of the kids, and later, daughters-in-law, and eventually grandchildren. She was born in 1912, so I reckon it was just her way
Tomato butter is a little different, after you separate the tomato buttercream and add seasoning and vinegar, add back the tomato buttercream until the consistency is where you like it
Ketchup is a fruit butter, not a jam.
Cooked, pureed fruit with sugar and spices, no pectin. Not a jam
Ah, so when you said Europe you were thinking of the EU. I can’t fault you there, I’ll sometimes say “America” and mean the US. Thanks for clarifying 😊
