-oh, pasta and walnut sauce is actually a popular dish.

Sorry about that, you're right.

I've cooked Italian from dozens of cookbooks in my lifetime and have travelled in Italy extensively and I have never once seen a recipe for pasta with walnut sauce in a book or seen it on a restaurant menu. It is NOT a popular dish.

While it may not be a popular dish, it at least makes sense. I actually love OPs narrative and think it should be pushed through memes in a sarcastic way, but it should only include the really bizarre ones. Also to make a correction it was Todd D. Stern who was dreaming about Podesta's hot dog stand in Hawaii. https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/30231 So now we have to believe that either Podesta has a hot dog stand in Hawaii, or his friends think he does.

I'm not arguing against pizzagate as a whole, but...

My dad always used to always talk about quitting the rat race and opening a chili stand. The big joke was that he was going to intentionally make bad chili so that no one would come buy anything. It's a joke "dream" about getting away from a stressful job - and I could definitely see the same being the case here.. Podesta is even from my dad's generation, so that type of joke could be common in that age group.

Stern could just be playing on a running joke like that to indicate that he's stressed out.

Could be, in fact this article supports your idea. It's still a little creepy in light of the weird stuff about hawaii from 7 months ago. https://www.reddit.com/r/BlackOps/comments/4fs7a8/question_why_would_there_be_30ish_wifi_networks/#bottom-comments

Of course. It needs to be real actual things for the code to function. But yeah, maybe OP didn't know it was a real thing.

I would say that in America it isn't really that common of a thing. I've never eaten it in my life, and I'm a big restaurant eater.

True, but the guy's also meant to be a "gourmet" chef and these people are massive yuppies. Walnut sauce makes more sense to me than spaghetti and meatballs from these kind of people tbh.

This is true. The only reason I know about walnut sauce is because i had walnut trees in my yard as a kid and my grandfather would always pick every one up..yay, walnuts for 6 months.
