Melange means mix or blend. Melanger is the verb, meaning mixing.

Why does no one talk about this?

Idk, because it's not that interesting

I did not have a chairdog pun on my bingo card this week

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Omg what is up with the chairdogs

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

What’s chairdog?

Not much. What’s up with you?

omelette du fromage

what do you mean nobody talks about it? they call it "the spice melange" all the time so even if you have no concept of French you know that it's being called a spice.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago (2 children)

But without knowledge of French how would you know it's "variety"?

[–] drake@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

With knowledge of French, I know it’s not variety. I do not mean to shock everyone, but this meme is not correct.

Sometimes I put pepper on my freedom fries, when I’m feeling adventurous.

[–] tilefan@lemm.ee 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Caucasian pepper, BIPOC, or one of those desegregated peppers?

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The ones that come in the packet at McDonalds.

[–] tilefan@lemm.ee 1 points 2 days ago

that shit is the best.

[–] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

A spice mix is the life.

[–] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 days ago

I think about it all the time, actually

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 1 points 2 days ago

Maybe because it's too obvious?
