Midweek Munchies

Hey friends.

Today I am writing with sadness. We got the news that Our Flag Means Death will not be being picked up for a third season by another network. They have already started auctioning off things from the set. The streaming industry right now is in freefall, and getting the show picked up straight away didn't work out. The OFMD community is very, very, very sad. Just clinging to hope that I will get to see my blorbos again one day, maybe in a few years when the industry has hopefully improved. In the meantime, I will just be very sad about it forever.

Let's look at some munchies. Chips and jams and a few other things.

Ninja vegan chips, these Sausage Sizzle chips were a bit underwhelming at first. I always want more flavour. But, if you stick a bunch in your mouth at once, then you get great flavour. I really liked them. Of course, they were limited edition, so I can't get anymore... Just like OFMD.😭



This St Dalfour's French Grape jam was a bit strange. Much sweeter than other jams, and with big grapes in it, which made it a bit big for spreading on things. Did you know there is a character in OFMD called Frenchie? He's not French. I miss him already.



Vitasoy's soy yoghurts are so good, so I tried these oat ones then they came out. Unfortunately they have pea protein in them, and leave a bad aftertaste in my mouth. Kind of like the bad taste about the way WBD/Max threw OFMD under the bus.



These Thins Outback BBQ chips were really good, they had a great strong flavour! Once again, limited edition, because why keep something great around when you can just kill it instead?



Some Loving Earth chocolates. The Dirty Rose was nice, but no surprises the Berry Wild was not to my tastes. Give me cocoa poweder in my chocolate or give me (our flag means) death.



Another St Dalfours jam, this time kumquat. It really enjoyed this in overnight oats and also with peanut butter. It was like a fancy marmalade. Damn good marmalade, one might say, and then cry about Ed and Stede eating marmalade. Marmalade has a special place in the hearts of OFMD fans.



This St Dalfours Heritage Peach jam was quite lovely and sweet. I used it mostly in overnight oats. Edward Teach, arse like a peach, you would have loved this.



Finally, this Veef Pulled Beef. Which I guess was OK? I don't have much of a memory about what it was or what I did with it. I think I put it into some pasta sauce, possibly. As you can see I got it on sale, and it was deep in my freezer for a long time. Sort of a shredded meaty/mushroom texture. Shredded like the hearts, hopes, and dreams of the OFMD community.



Friends, I am really really sad. You might scoff at being so cut up about a TV show, but the way I have found a new community through this show, they representation this show has that is just so unique and diverse, the fact that it is a love story between two men discovering themselves and each other in their late 40s... I honestly can't describe how important this show is and will continue to be. Anyway, I'm sad.
