JD Vance, fake hillbilly, is tfg's vice presidential candidate

[Foggy]

It was raw intelligence from an investigation. The company that generated it and the recipient all understood - some of it might be true, some might be horseshit, anyway take it with a metric shitload of salt.

Which meant, to the whackjobs, that in reality, the report swore every word was as true as if it was in the Holy Bible. Which it most certainly did not.

[pipistrelle]

I bring it up because the guy who released the Vance dossier said that it was "fraudulent and discredited," which isn't accurate. Then he "liked" comments that make Vance sound like he's sane, smart, and qualified. So my opinion of this guy is plummeting. Not that it matters.

Primanti's is famous and a destination restaurant for people who want to try their signature sandwiches (french fries stacked on the sandwich). Personally, I am not a fan.

Remember the times Obama was refused service when making random restaurant stops on the campaign trail?

(and I am with you, Andy. Fries go on the side if you want them)

Johnny Donuts makes normal Americans feel uncomfortable. He’s like a cooler at a casino. He’d just drive away business.

Doug Adams @DougNBC
JD Vance intended to make a stop at a Primanti Bros near Pittsburgh… but when they got there, the campaign was told no cams & restaurant didn’t want to be part of a “campaign event”
Vance ended up shaking hands outside in parking lot.
He has event in Monroeville, PA this aftn

one would think that a campaign would have a spearhead that would ask prior to appearing if the "target" is happy to be shown around a "presidential" VP candidate.

In Central Illinois, thats called a horseshoe.

An open face ham sandwich with French fries on top, smothered iin cheese sauce.

It's a heart attack on a plate.

Another advance team failure by JD Vance. Banned from the restaurant before he even got inside. They even tried to fill the place with their own people.

I note that they are speaking of Senator Vance, not of a VP candidate

[Dave from down under]

Did they need advance warning to hide the couches?

It's not quite the same. It was developed originally decades ago for truckers who delivered to the Strip District so that they could grab and go and eat on the run. No cheese sauce as that would require a knife and fork. I've only been there twice, and not recently, but I think they also have the coleslaw on it. Along the way, it led to the habit of adding french fries to salads around here in many restaurants. That has shocked a lot of visitors if they aren't aware of the custom. I am also not a fan of that. I know to check and ask for them on the side.

i've recently learned that coleslaw on sandwiches is the best coleslaw. Also, shredded cabbage on tacos is far superior than wimpy lettuce

There's a seafood restaurant in town that makes the best grilled salmon tacos with a jicama & cabbage coleslaw

[sad-cafe]

his campaign makes me think of OZs commercials

[Volkonski]

Jicama!

[bill_g]

(primary self: have we eaten jimcama?)
(other self: don't know. don't think so.)
(primary self: hmmm. wonder how we find it?)
(other self: and will we even like it? cilantro is still on our NO list - tastes like soap - but lots of people love it.)
(another self: we'll look it up and see if we can find a place that serves it.)
(primary self: alright.)

[W. Kevin Vicklund]

Jicama is (pronounced Hic-a-ma) is a somewhat sweet tuber, about the size of a very large rutabaga. Dr. Vicklund loves it. It has a high moisture content and is eaten raw. It has a lovely crunch. Overall, it's like a mild flavored apple with a carrot-like crunch.

[Maybenaut]

It doesn’t have a lot of flavor, but the texture is marvelous. The first time I ever had it was at Jackson’s restaurant in Reston, VA. It was in the deviled egg filling in tiny cubes. It was delightfully crunchy. I asked the server what was in it. He said he’d check. A few minutes later the chef came out and described how they make the deviled eggs with jicama.

I can’t find it around here so I use walnuts in mine.

[Volkonski]

In Texas just about every supermarket has jicama in the produce section. It is very popular as a snack.

Thank you both especially for the pronunciation. Got it - A lightly sweet root crop eaten raw, generally cut into small bits. I'll be looking for it. Portland has enough ethnic markets to offer just about anything in the world.

As most references to Springfield seem to be in this thread - an article about Governor Mike DeWine and Springfield that I thought interesting.
