Or you if you are saying pemican came from north american natives.

Pemmican was not intended to be a delicacy. It was nutritious, did not spoil quickly and was reasonably light to carry with you on longer marches. It must taste awful, but it's the perfect iron ration in a survival situation.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

You dont say. I always thought antarctic explorers took chardonnay, quails eggs, and foie gras along with them because they complimented pemmican so well!
As it turn out it is a product of the native Americans, which you called Indians, and then you accuse me of confusing north america with India, as Columbus did!

Just a failed attempt to make a joke, repeating Columbus' mistake and coming with something that's not exactly a pleasure to eat.
That usually only happens when I meet someone with two or more X chromosomes.

I could excuse the dal substitution given this happened outside of India, but substituting curry leaves with fresh basil is like replacing a banana with an onion.

I am surprised you were OK steamed instead of fried.

This was the interesting part of the recipe. Steamed, then tossed in spices and coconut in a frying pan. Very nice texture and flavour.

Yes, I know, yet I wanted some kind of herb in it. (It was Thai basil by the way, I bought it frozen from a Thai food shop.)
The problem is, we can not get curry leaves here, not fresh, or frozen. I got some dried ones once, but they had no flavour. Same as dried methi leaves I got years back, so I avoid dried herbs these days. Shame, sigh I could use curry leaves.

I'm still on ff v56, before they went with the multi process thing, whatever.
Option: Updates blah: I've chosen "Never check for updates"
... not the 'auto update,' not even the 'check and ask if I wannit', I chose NEVER check.
and every time I start Firefox a friendly message at the top:
Your Firefox is critically out of date. An update is required to stay secure.
Firstly, what part of NEVER means please check if there are updates?
Secondly: the version I have is [set] beyond secure enough for what/where I go; what part of 'don't make up bullshit' do they not understand?
Once upon a time only microsoft did this stuff, now it's normal business everywhere.
May be time to move back to a version in the 40's/30's - see if that stupid message (and ignoring peoples settings) is in even older versions.
Sigh, guess I shouldn't complain too much, not as if I'm on the bleeding edge.

Pretty much all of my system are stopped at 56 because the changed the interface for the plugins. As a result, one of my favorite (non-passive, like an ad blocker) is FireFTP. The author decided not to modify it to their new methodology. I could use any of lots of other FTP clients, but this is so handy.
As an FYI for browser-dom candidates. I hung with seamonkey for years, until they made cookie-handling an absolute nightmare. Here are references to very-compatible options[^]

I waited until version 58 to upgrade. To my surprise, my few plugins had all been updated. Don't notice any difference, except no more nag.

Yep, but on a scale going from "no hassle ever" to "Java/Adobe level", Firefox has still a very good position.

I just realized - with the amazing powers and abilities of their ubiquitous search engine and all the plugins so eagerly snatched up by web-(designers/developers) that Google will be able to make it turn up on webish things that 'ogle' is the new 'd'.

I certainly understand where you're coming from - and the parentage clearly point in that way. However, at present, Bing hardly makes its way to the second circle of hell. Essentially, it is because no one would notice much or for long if it just went away.
