I'm not sure I completely understand you.

I would really like to see the catalog operators be held responsible for the new products that are sold through their publications, even if those are third-party sellers.

Yes, I am aware that this would cause a lot of headache for a whole lot of people. Frankly at this point I don't really care. These catalogs are not performing due diligence on what they're offering, and while it costs money to actually perform testing to ensure good products and it limits the number of function-alike competing products or badge-engineered products, what we're seeing now is an illusion of choice coupled to a race to the bottom quality-wise. If the catalogs for new products are held to account for what they sell then they may sell less crap and actually comparing between products would be easier for the consumer.

And that might be the crux of the problem. Bad enough to shill for Tesla given Musk, worse with the recent situation with ABC bowing to pressure on Jimmy Kimmel. Remember, that suspension was literally only three weeks ago. Those who canceled subscriptions are unlikely to go see it, it would come as no surprise if even those who weren't prepared to cancel subscriptions would simply shrug off purposely going to it, and given the extremely long time between movies it's not like they're particularly fresh in the minds of the audience anyway.

I have fond memories of the 1982 movie, even though as a child I was too young to have seen it in the theater and had to wait for it to be out on home video. I had low expectations for the 2010 sequel and frankly those low expectations were disappointingly met. I had no specific plans to ever see another sequel, and to top it off I'm not enamored with Disney at all right now as a final nail in the coffin.

Perhaps I am projecting here, but if the bulk of the potential audience doesn't care about the franchise and the company behind it has made itself undesirable then it's no surprise if it's not getting the sort of box office returns that they predicted.

grok? old enough to remember when grok was just a chess program.

Anyone remember tub girl?

I'm not aware of any way of making coconut cream other than from shredded coconut meat. "Ice coconut cream" fits the schema of your earlier post, but I wasn't sure whether you'd admit "coconut cream" as a noun phrase. When I made a frozen emulsion from coconut cream, lemongrass, ginger, and palm sugar I called it "coconut, lemongrass and ginger ice-cream" but explained to my friends that it was dairy-free so the lactose-intolerant could eat it. (I also served it as a starter, with prawn crackers, rather than a dessert, but that was for practical reasons: we were having a picnic at the beach and I wanted to serve it before it melted).

She really does seem to be trying to speed run a redemption arc - hopefully no one actually falls for it.

To answer the direct question, I think my grandparents got them from a local butcher in Ulverston. But note

The combinations of permitted herbs and spices may vary from butcher to butcher, but the prominent taste of Traditional Cumberland Sausage is quite spicy due to the generous amount of pepper added which is accompanied by a strong taste of herbs.

I must admit that I don't remember the "strong taste of herbs", but I do remember the pepper being the dominant flavour, sufficiently so that you would need quite a refined palate to precisely identify the source of umami.

Since you say in another recent comment that you're in San Diego, your experience is probably centred there. Although both burger and patty were originally primarily North American lexemes, the former has achieved much more international recognition. The Oxford English Dictionary describes burger as "Originally U.S." and patty as "Chiefly North American". While Vegeburger may have been an attempt to create market confusion when it was coined 80 years ago, "veggie burger" is the only name (except for more specific names such as "falafel") for approximate discs of minced vegetables intended for frying that I've heard in British English, and when it's used to describe home-cooked food there's no "market" in scope.

That's odd: coconut milk is called "milk of coconut" in Spain. Link to Spanish supermarket product listing might work: I'm not sure whether it will want you to give a postcode.

What would you call my recipes which use coconut cream?

Here's a better idea, how about stop trying to make vegetables look and taste like meat?

Veggie burgers and sausages predate "trying to make vegetables look and taste like meat" by decades. They exist for the same reason that meat is made into burgers and sausages: it's a convenient form factor for cooking and eating.

It shouldn't be hard to make something taste like Cumberland sausage: MSG and black pepper should suffice. So as long as you can make the texture appetising that would be one of the easiest meat products to substitute.

Agreed, the claim that it couldn't be backed up because the size was too large is totally bogus. We're talking about a single rack of equipment for a cheap option capable enough to do weekly snapshots. Less than a shipping container for a higher end system.

Unfortunately it also requires the backers having similar views. Backers looking for a quick bump by playing the stock price quarter by quarter regardless of all other performance metrics hurt businesses because they compel short-term thinking.

For what it's worth I don't look upon the proposed end of quarterly reports by businesses as a cure either, I look at those sorts of reports as a way of assessing what could be going wrong with an eye on trying to correct it. I just don't think it's wise to use those as the main metric of success like the short-term traders would use them for.
