If there was an opened store near me that sold it, I'd trek through that polar vortex to get it right now...
sounds like patte
u can make pate with it.
Yeah, I meant that, not puree, my bad
It makes me so proud:)
I definitely put braunschweiger, Bavarian mustard, cottage cheese, and pink salt on my grocery list for this week
There's actually people in the US who still call their grandmas "oma"?
Didn't all the Germans come a really long time ago?
It was more Nana and Papa growing up, but we used to use Oma/Opa
Mine came in '21
don't ask for pink salt. that name is usually reserved for curing salt, sodium nitrate. You don't want to sprinkle that on your food.
Where does "nana" come from?
I get my pink salt at TJMAXX because they think it expires so it's cheap af
I don't know, it's just what we called them. Her mom was from Austro-Hungary, so it could've been Hungarian influenced?
meh guess everyone says pink salt. ok.
Himalayan
@Paul H - MI no, I've heard it a lot so it can't be something as obscure as Hungarian
You have tjmaxx down there lol
It was probably my dad and them coming up with it because it rhymed with Papa, but honestly, I'm not sure beyond that. They passed away years ago and my dad is asleep, I could ask in the morning
Our local Russians control the one here.
I always just referred to my grandma as "my grandma" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah, ours is controlled by 90iq mestizos and blacks
@Jacob Huh.. Interesting, because although their family came from Germany and Austro-Hungary, our surname is Anglo-Saxon to the extent that there are several Englishmen bearing the same surname
Pretty girls shop there with their mothers.
A couple Swedes too
I only shop there for pants and condiments
Lol
well I mean English is the dominant language in the US (for now at least) so it would make sense that your family uses an English word
I don't think it's that deep
No, but it's always fun to think about
wait I thought "papa" was just an informal word for "dad"
I didn't know it meant "grandpa"
I would only visit ours to get a good laugh
Selling ecko brand from 1998 and those 5 gallon drums of cheese puffs
@Jacob I'm guessing my dad and his siblings called him that, but it's probably just names they came up with for me to call them so I didn't just call them grandma and grandpa.
I'm not sure what culture nana comes from. But I used to call my grandmother nana
I'm coming to visit now @Valaska
Oh its Italian
2XLT
My one friend calls her grandma 'noona' or something like that
