Where do you even GET chocolate that old? Also I kinda assumed olives were like wine....

Probably put somewhere and forgotten.
Like that Iron Age butter that was dug out of a bog
Or the ancient Egyptian honey

[scourge728]

Probably, but I like to imagine some crazy guy set it somewhere for people in the future to find, ESPECIALLY the ancient Egyptian honey

[smjjames]

Under the right conditions (primarily dry, but anoxic like bogs also work, also freezing temps), things can be preserved for a hell of a long time.

However, chocolate from over 100 years ago is a blink of an eye compared to how old honey from Ancient Egypt or Iron Age butter in a bog would be

[Tawa]

That was small potatoes next to the 140-year-old olives.

Haven't watched that one.

I highly recommend you do. He doesn't try any, thankfully, but, well, you wouldn't know they were olives if you hadn't been informed beforehand.

The hillarious thing is that this isn't even the nastiest (and you are quite right, it is nastier-looking than the canned burger) thing Ashens has had on that channel. He had (sensibly didn't eat, but probably wasn't even healthy to be near) some commemorative chocolate not long ago from a British coronation. The coronation of King Edward VII, to be precise.

He's probably on the assasination hitlist of a few British museums now

I was editing a 5 years old Wesnoth scenario, while listening to High Rollers D&D Episode 75.

Imagin my surprise, when I came upon this:

Spoiler: Large image (click to show/hide)

For those that do not know, Korak is a Dragonborn NPC in High Rollers D&D.

But the show is only 2 and something years old. What is the chance, that two draconic characters would have the same name?

[Khan Boyzitbig]

It is entirely possible that Mark chose the name as a reference, or simply because of what "Korak" means when translated. He certainly makes in universe references to other things, and so do the players too. And Kim always wants Noodles.

[Mathel]

Well, it is highly unlikely for him to reference an unpublished Wesnoth scenario, which he had no acess to.

The thing is, Mark probably had a reason to name a dragonborn Korak, but I did not know draconic when naming that unit. And by the time I started watching High Rollers, I have forgotten that I named a unit so.

Did you do anything in the interim?

[Jopax]

Apparently, a popular dish in belgium is tuna salad and peaches.

WHYYY?!?!

[pikachu17]

Apparently, a popular dish in belgium is tuna salad and peaches.

WHYYY?!?!

Presumably it tastes good to them.

[Dunamisdeos]

I mean, that sounds nice actually, so long as it's fresh.

[Eric Blank]

Cant get fresh tuna around here. Only that minced pasty stuff you get in a can

[Dunamisdeos]

Eh, either way, some albacore tuna might not be too bad. Peaches are light and sweet, would probably compliment the strong taste of tuna.

[Jopax]

Tuna salad is usually canned tuna with mayo and possibly onions/radishes/pickles/eggs. How any of that would go well with something as sweet as peaches is beyond me. I like sweet&soure, I like contrasting flavors, I like cutting trough something heavy with something fresh, with all that in mind, I still find the idea of combining this particular kind of fruit with any fish at all utterly baffling.
