Something I like, but am ashamed to like, is flavored flour tortillas, i.e. jalapeno cheddar. It just seems so wrong, like those new Dorito-shell tacos at Taco Bell.
Why does everything in the US have cheese on or in it? There's not enough cheese on top of your pizza, you have to stuff it in the crust, too? Maybe this is our plan to save social security - make everyone die before they hit 65 years.
Papa John's Cinnapie is kind of a lazy excuse for a desert, but I still like it at times, so I guess it's not a peeve. Oh! But one thing that is, is gum INSIDE a food, be it lollipops or ice cream. Not cool inmy carpool.
I had my first "Oh wow I'm totally on my own in another country and isn't it fantastic?" experience drinking a kopi susu (coffee with sweetened condensed milk) on Java. Nostalgia alone makes me get one of these every once in a while at Sweetwaters, in Ann Arbor (they call it French Vietnamese au lait (or something like that) and put chicory in it).
papa who? only one man in the wide world of snackin' be bein' yo daddy and that be... daddy ray! and they come from moscow mills! now who's gonna bury whom?
Incidentally, Belgian guy , the problem with those 1 pt. 9.4 fl.oz bottled conditioned Duvel Belgian Golden Ale thingies is that the more of them you pour, the less unhurriedly you are able to pour them. I am looking at a good 6 inches o' foam. That said, it's complementing my chorizo, brie and crackers lunch like a mofo, foam notwithstanding. That said, again, my wife is starting to give me that "oh shit, he's starting to look like he feels handsome" look. Come to think of it, I am a handsome man.
WTF? Papa John's is to pizza what the Red Bulls are to championships. And Papa John's a right-wing prick. Many chain owners are this way since they treat their employees like dogshit and want to keep it that way. That's a big food peeve.
No coincidence that a Duvel glass is so over-sized; designed not to allow any of that rich foam to escape. Love me some Duvel. Unibroue's La Fin Du Monde, as well (a Belgian triple, but they're kissing cousins).
Powdered creamer in your coffee ... Was at a Nestle manufacturing facility one time - where they happen to make Coffee Mate - doing a walkthrough for some roofing repairs. That powder is so light and fine that it goes everywhere. Mushroom-shaped vents on the roof had a ring of that stuff deposited all around it, and it was actually eating through the roofing material. Ain't no way in H-E-double hockey sticks I'm consuming that, but my parents love it. Wackos. Mixing foods that just should not be mixed together, for the most part ... The missus loves to mix together baked beans and apple sauce. Makes me want to hurl. Although, and I'm a hypocrite for saying this, and embarrassed to admit it, but in college my roommate and I may or may not have been under the influence of alcohol one evening and decided to boil some hot dogs, chop them up, mix into a pot of baked beans, add a dash of tobasco sauce ... and top it all off with a handful of crumbled potato chips. The finishing touch? We topped the dish with candy corn. The next day we tried it again to see if we just misremembered how amazing it, and it still kind of was. It became a staple - we called it our "square meal" - for the remainder of the school year.
Bologna. Bologna was on my mind a lot yesterday, causing me lots of puzzlement as to how it ever became popular in the USA.
Cuz Moms in the 70s bought Oscar Meyer with the plastic bologna-shaped dome, threw a piece of cheese on white bread with mustard & that was lunch. All in about a minute, like so: I personally like pan-fried bologna & cheese sandwiches.
Two things. First bold is wrong on so many levels and possibly killed my appetite for the evening. Second bold, that wasn't drunk, that was stoned
Are you kidding? Beanie weenies (canned pork n beans & sliced hot dogs) are delicious, especially if you doctor them up with hot sauce, bbq sauce and/or other flavorings of your choice. I draw the line at candy corn.
Thank you! Same goes for Popeye's red beans & rice. I almost wanna buy a bottle of Tab or Fresca for some of these posters so they can continue to fit into their gowns. Grown men who obsess over calories or kewl points are new to me. I've always been skinny with high metabolism (right at 6', usually around 180. I've been above 200 lbs once when my job involved lots of travel and lots of restaurants. If I'd been working out, 200 would be great, but I wasn't), and I understand that body types kinda dictate what people can eat, but some of this is just crazy. It's like nobody ever bought a pack of hot dogs around here. I see why soccer fans get looked at crazy. I eat what American football fans eat, and as much as they do, with concern only for taste. Glad to see I'm not the only BSer who doesn't make sure everyone sees his pinkie sticking out from the fork when he posts about food. Uh, yeah. Can't go there myself.
I'll tell some of what I really like while I'm ranting... Anyone here ever put saltine crackers in vanilla ice cream? It's not unlike the combo of peanut butter and jelly, but you'd be surprised at how many people thin I'm crazy- until they try it. Then I can't get the bowl back until it's all gone. Butter on Pop-Tarts. Well, margarine. Not in the toaster, but in the oven. It's best on the non-frosted Grape IMO. Pepper lamb, with mushrooms, green onions and bell peppers. Pan-seared. Pond catfish fried the old-school way- in lard. Now, that's hard to get and it's NOT good for you. But a catfish sandwich with lettuce, tomato and onion with mayo, ketchup and hot sauce is the last word if you get said fish in Selma. Those old ladies know their stuff. McDonald's hot cakes and sausage... six butters, two syrups. Waffle House's pecan pie the way they heat it up with ice and butter. Cici's Pizza's cinnamon rolls. I admit that I'd probably be dead by now if I had a sweet tooth. I eat this stuff only about once every six months. What I see a lot of but can't abide: Mixng confectioner's sugar with citrus sugar. Like cake washed down with Kool-aid. Kool-aid and Hawaiian Punch and whatever else like that goes with meat or chips or popcorn or something. If I'm eating cake, cookies, chocolate, pies, those go with milk. And real milk comes in a container with a red cap. The other stuff is watery. The caps and ends of okra. They may as well throw those out, 'cause that's what I do. It's tough enough as it is to get meal to stick to okra without egg whites. You need the inside showing for best adhesion.
we were big wienies & beans consumers when i was a kid; the family habit was to have homemade cornbread with them. but in france i discovered the authentic ancestor of weenies & beens: cassoulet. made with special lingot beans, toulouse sausage, potted duck or goose, hamhocks... what really makes it the model van de camps was based on is that it almost always bought canned, or for the most expensive brands in a big glass jar, and like canned sardines, it's generally considered better the longer it ages.
i know nothing about okra but for artichokes i get them with the stems as long as possible. these generally end up in the bin, but with the outside fibers peeled off them, as for celery, are just as good as the hearts. and of sautéable dimension.
I've done that. My wife would occasionally do it with Fritos corn chips, which works better with ginger ice cream. Your post put me in mind of something I first had in my junior high cafeteria. Then I went back and read the rest of the thread, which I started last night, and saw this post... West central Illinois, too.
