Recepies for Squishy People

After reading the "@Mike" thread, it gave me the idea for the following, just for fun Smile

Mike Di Corsi= Equal parts Polish, French, Scottish, Irish, and Jew. Sprinkle in some European of Undeterminable decent. Serve chilled.

So I'm sure Mike could better explain his ancestry, and he can feel free to cut/paste/edit this thread to better suit him Smile

I just wanted to get this rolling. BTW, Mike has bad-asses in his bloodline. True Story.

David Vargas, Third of His Name= One part Native American, preferably Aztec brand. One part Spanish Conquistador. Stir vigorously. Continue to mix in bits of Spanish until more pronounced. Let sit until bland and mild. Serve luke warm.

So yeah, I'm of "Mexican" decent. That means I'm part Native American, part Spaniard, but if you ask me what I am, I'll say "American, born and raised".

On a side note, some of my family members are blonde, blue eyed mexicans, while others are curly haired black skinned mexicans... and they're brothers, sisters, and cousins... Apparently, near my parent's hometown there where "pueblos negros" and even "chinos poblanos", or Black Villages, and Chinese Villagers, although "Chino" is grossly blanketed over anyone of asian lineage, because it turns out that the "Chinos" near my parents hometown were/are actually of Japanese decent... The blacks being escaped slaves from way back when. I don't remember the full story behind the Japanese, but I know some were fleeing the States during WWII to escape being put in concentration camps. I'm amazed at what one can find out when they look into the history of a region.

It's actually Di Corsi, OR Di Corsey... can't remember which came first.

Anywho... My family history is kinda gnarly. My mom's side was Scottish/Polish/Russian... and the maternal side is Jewish, thus... I'm one too! Yays! I never knew my grandparents on my mom's side... sooooo yeah, not much info. I do know my grandpa used to dress FULLY in an orange jumpsuit on St. Patty's, and go pick fights.

I'm pretty sure it was John Di Corsi on my Dad's side that busted the badass shit. I can't remember the exact story (I have to talk to my grandpa) but he was pretty high ranking and helped the invasion of England into Northern Ireland. After that they lived in Cork, Ireland for a few generations.

Then another Di Corsi came in and rocked some faces. Again, details are blurry, but for some reason he was jailed. For that time period he was HUGE... like monstrous huge. There was a battle between France and England over some territory (Normandy jumps into my head... /shrug). And after a while it was decided to just have champions face off.

The King approached my uber Grandpa... and said he'd release him if he fought for them (His reputation was crazy). Anywho... he walked out.. reputation preceding him... and rocked the other dude or made him run away.

So the one request he made is that "In the presence of the royal family my descendants will not have to remove their hats." So yeah... fuckin' cool.

I'll get more details from my grandpa soon, I wanna write 'em down anyways.

Had another relative fighting in the Civil War helping Sherman hold off an onslaught in the South.

Annnnnd we're cursed by the Catholic Church! It shines through and through.

Yup yup

Ok.

I'm Irish and damn proud of it. My grandpa on me Da' side is 100% Irish bread, but i don't know from where because he died before I could ask him. My Grandma on me Da's side was adopted as a baby so we don't know but i want to say some Native American and possibly Italian. Me Mum's family is German, Irish, Slovak (Czechoslovakian specifically), and very little Native American.
My great grandfather on my mum's side was also adopted so we don't no that line either.

If asked I generalize as pure bread Irish American because that is who identify with the most.

So... Jynx with a Twist...

Start with pure Irish bread, meats, and cheeses.

Spruce it up with American and European oils, dressings, and spices.

Serve Hot.

One part Norhtern Chinese mixed with a healthy portion of Mongolian stir fry, let simmer until Korean. Throw out because now this shit is bad. Very Happy

When my grandfather on my dad's side was still alive he took me to our family archives (yes, they have vast libraries of this stuff going back centuries). Turns out my family were mostly knights serving the king throughout our history (which explains a lot of my roleplaying tendencies, hee). There was one guy of note who, during one of the many Mongol invasions, devised a scheme to take out the Mongol general. According to the account, the Mongol general was pretty much invincible because of his charisma and armor. Because of this he was wreaking havoc on the countryside and the king didn't know what to do. My ancestor's plan was simple but consisted of two parts: first he would fire a bow while on horseback directly at the Mongol's head, which wouldn't kill him because of his superior armor but would cause his head to snap back revealing his mouth and chin - the only unarmored portion of his body. The king, then, would fire another arrow from horseback into the Mongol's now open mouth, killing him. Apparently it worked and the Mongol army was nothing without its charismatic general and they were routed.

Speaking of my grandfather: he was a freedom fighter leading raids on communist North Korean supply lines during the Korean War. Apparently he was wounded on one of these raids and for the rest of his life the Korean government paid for his home and groceries. After the war, however, he still worked as a cop. He retired poor so I know he was an honest cop.

On my mom's side we were rich merchants until the Japanese take-over in '35, '36 - not too sure about the exact date. My mom wasn't even born yet when it happened but my grandmother on my mom's side would tell us stories of how they used to live while she was still around. Never knew my grandfather on my mom's side. He died before I was born.

Wow. I love hearing about the rich histories of people's families. I used to want to study more of my own genealogy, but I never quite managed it.

I suppose my recipe is somewhat like the early colonization of America. lol.

English + a bit of German, French, Irish and Scottish (If I recall what I was told correctly) meets Native American (mostly Karok, Yurok, and Wintun). Throw in a bit of craziness and pervertedness, and presto! MadCat =^-^=

Interesting facts: apparently I'm somehow related to William Whipple, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. I heard I'm also distantly related to John Chapman, the legendary "Johnny Appleseed." (not sure if it's true or not, but it's neat if it is.)

Man, now I want to get back into learning more of my family history.

Considering the wide variety of things people have eaten throughout history and even today (dogs, cats, rodents, bugs, tongues and eyeballs and brains, etc etc.) I don't think any type of meat people eat could really be considered 'fucked' at this point. lol.

Not that I actually want to THINK about that stuff. Ick. Razz

No. After that little punk ass bitch shot him the family had to eat him because they soon realized the hunting wasn't as good without Old Yeller.
