Charcoal In Things

Was just about to say don’t they use activated charcoal when people get their stomach pumped or something and say that I know that cos of the hold steady song.

I remember when Starbucks came to town. I didn’t even drink tea or coffee, yet I was still excited about it!

It’s like how in old police tv series people always drank grim coffee out of these kinds of cups

ALSO, I could be lying here, but I’m pretty sure I didn’t eat pasta until I was in my teens. Before that it felt like all I ever ate was… potatoes and chicken. :woman_shrugging: I remember being fascinated by pesto! I was definitely 18 at this point.

oh, I see you already covered this in the coffee thread.

Had a pizza with a charcoal base a bit ago. Was alright

I certainly never ate proper pasta until late teens/going to uni.

Up until then spaghetti came in Heinz tins in tomato sauce.

exactly this! I still slightly struggle not to instantly think of ravioli as potentially being this -

Quite fancy having some, it’s been too long.

I think of this as camping food. The most delicious camping food that ever existed. Quite possibly the only reason my parents ever got me to go camping was with the promise of Heinz ravioli.

Also I’m a big fan of the “look! It’s even got a tomato in it!” label.

Had a charcoal and lavender soap bar in my hotel last night. Didn’t eat it.

Missed opportunity for black but lovely smelling poos.

My poos smell lovely already
