I saw the Cambridge Starter Pack to help make Bluesky more hyperlocal and got v jealous, so I made a Somerville version for people who live in/talk about Somerville.

@jcsalterego.bsky.social @sifu.tweety.fish Likely they hadn't put it out yet, but I only ever use salted anyway because I never want LESS salt than is in salted butter. Who am I to control this? The Salt King of Salty Mountain? No thank you, I trust the food scientist at Kate's.

Lots of embarrassing food injuries in this thread. Going in the other direction, everyone agrees the most honorable food injury is a mouth burn from French Bread Pizza. Stouffer's gives its moltenest pizza to its bravest soldiers.
A person's (legit excruciating, not mocking their pain!) post about getting a huge welt and lacerations from an egg hucked at highway speed has me wondering about the most embarrassing food to be injured by. My mom once burned her forehead badly with a flaming marshmallow, might be up there

But the wet bandits are also gods. They take fatal injury after fatal injury and they just dust themselves off and continue their relentless pursuit of Kevin. It should be horrifying, but
