Re: Smelly Swiss Dilettante

I mean why they banned the sale instead of just banning the killing. Boar meat has a quite strong taste. Some people like it more than others, and some preparation method can reduce it. What i'm curious about is the taste of cormoran, because they are invasive here, and a few people told me it was d...

Re: Smelly Swiss Dilettante

Yes you can sell game meat in Switzerland. I imagine that it's because the territory is much smaller, so It's not prohibitely difficult to enforce how much game is being hunted. As long a the game as been lawfully hunted, it is fully yours, and you can do whatever you want with it. If you sell it fo...

Re: On-the-go Meal Prep Kit for maximizing grocery stores as an alternative to fastfood/restaurants?

scissors are great. You can really take them on a plane? Scissors are basically two bad knives, where 1 of them serves as a cutting board. A very good knife like a mora 511 can be bought for 5 dollars.
I think knife always coming on top is due to them being possibly the oldest tool crafted by humans.

When travelling, a difficulty is to know what to buy.

He seemed impressed by the scenery, i was a bit ashamed by how squeequie my bike chain was. I greased it, after a quick brush, and now it's silent enough for me to ear the unevenness ...

@chenda When you answer rentier or rentière, most french people will assume that you were born with a passive income.
