Found the vampire.
I'm pale because the sun sets in November.
Only if you’re okay with bland soups.
There are other spices.
Someone's never experienced a rough winter.
I am Canadian.
The majority of the world doesn't have access to maple syrup blood infusions - we can't give out our miracle cure to everyone.
That's a them problem for not planting sugar maples. We tried to tell them, but nOOOooo, they just had to use corn syrup. Enjoy your bland pancakes.
I will not! I will import Maple Syrup even if it's a 100% tariff.
As a Canadian and former Vermonter I endorse this rabid obsession with maple syrup.
Minnesota, here. -50°F isn't common, but it happens once or twice a winter.
Winters are getting warmer, though. Might as well live in Florida, these days. The coldest it got this week was -5°F. Pathetic.
Why do you think that garlic is required for winter survival? Honestly, that seems like kind of an odd connection to make
No idea. My cousin died last month because he didn't eat enough garlic this winter.
There are dozens of casualties. DOZENS!!
Much like every other season, they avoid sunlight.
don't know about other countries, but in US and Japan, garlic is not traditionally mentioned as a winter/immunity support food.
a more likely recommendation is oranges or citrus in general, for vitamin C.
either way, humans usually survive common colds and regular influenza (in rich countries at least), so why wouldn't vampires survive it?
Nor is it in Germany. I'm very confused why garlic would be necessary to survive cold weather.
The same way people in the Americas survived without it for thousands of years.
Don't have to worry about survival when you're technically already dead
They drink blood I guess.
Nice try priest but you will have to try harder than that!
