Nah. It was a throwaway comment that meant that there are lots of different people here and they think up things that might not be thought of otherwise. I'm not going to start inspecting national cuisines and reviewing recipes. You can do that if you want, or not, don't really care.
I will point out that maize and tomatoes were unknown in Europe before they were brought back by explorers.
The new york hot dog with the spicy brown (american) mustard...😁
wikipedia said:Ingredients
Common hot dog sausage ingredients include:[27][failed verification]
Pork and beef are the traditional meats used in hot dogs. Less expensive hot dogs are often made from chicken or turkey, using low-cost mechanically separated poultry. Changes in meat technology and dietary preferences have led manufacturers to lower the salt content and use turkey, chicken, and vegetarian meat substitutes.
- Meat trimmings and fat, e.g. mechanically separated meat, pink slime, meat slurry
- Flavorings, such as salt, garlic, and paprika
- Preservatives (cure) - typically sodium erythorbate and sodium nitrite
You can change a dish, but you’d be hard-pressed to claim that America has improved anything by way of ethnic dishes.
Tell you what: why don’t we let the person respond, and reserve judgment whether you can ever trust them again. after that occurs.
I’m new here so my voice doesn’t have too much significance, but any lies and deceptions should not be tolerated no matter how small. Who guarantees that such a person will not try to deceive someone on the forum today or tomorrow. How can you trust such a person for anything he writes from now on?
Btw this is me happy to have sold the LE in 7 minutes😝
I see they only showed you mid-up because they didn’t want to spoil your next LE upon which you were sitting.
Interesting thread - I had seen that he had been called out in the pets thread (he just ignored it there like he is here I guess - hasn't posted in that thread since), but didn't realize the deceptions went beyond that. Takes all kinds I guess. Does make you wonder if he would be someone to trust in any sort of transaction.
On another forum I was a member of years ago, one of the moderators was doing this same thing. He would post stories that he claimed he had published, photoshop watches onto pictures of his own wrist (I recall one where if you zoomed in, the lug was buried 1/2 into his wrist bone), and even claimed to have all these amazing Bonsai plants that when you did a reverse image search on, were clearly from all kinds of different places. Few people were discussing this off line, and one decided to contact the rest of the mods over it. He was told that not only would nothing be done, but if he posted about it in the open forum, he and everyone who had been discussing it would be banned...😕

Speaking about image searches, one of our friends found a pic of some guy lying in a gutter obviously drunk, and he is the spitting image of me. So much so that everyone that seen the pic was convinced it was me. People swore it was me. Was a great prank and our pal had a ball with it shaming me (much to my delight as I love attention). Turns out it's a pic of some guy I think from France and from some stock photos of various people/themes.

Unfortunately I don't think that's going to happen. He must be feeling pretty stupid right now, and hopefully a little bit wiser.
You will likely end up being right, but that’s not the point.
I’ve witnessed people in some pretty damning circumstances, only to be exonerated once their story was heard. So, if he gives a bullshit excuse, or none at all, then I’m in complete agreement. But it never hurts to give someone the benefit of the doubt, and wait a bit to pass judgment.
I’d normally agree, but I think it depends on how serious a dishonesty you think he has engaged in.
If posting photos and stories falsely is a minor, trivial dishonesty, then yes, let’s hear from him before reaching any conclusion.
But, if you view these postings as more of repeated violations of trust, I think you have more than enough evidence to reach at least some conclusions about him.
Isn’t that the beauty of the on-line world? You can pretend to be whoever you want to be, right?
