As a Scotsman all I can think is "Why isn't it battered and deep fried?". Oh, great, now I've made myself hungry...

Adraeus posted:I'm sorry, but that's nothing. In San Diego, you can order supreme fries with carne asada (beef), adobada (pork), or pollo asado (chicken) at every taco shop. "Supreme" generally means sour cream, cheese, guacamole, and other garnish. I recently found one place where you can get any of the above items plus bacon and chipotle (smoke-dried jalapenos). These items are supposed to be appetizers for several people, but nobody eats these that way around here. Everything you said here sounds amazing except the fries part.

I like Parmos, but nearly every single one I have got in the town centre and around the Uni has been a shower of poo poo. When it is still terrible when drunk there is definitely something wrong. The supermarket Jeff the Chef ones beat most takeaways. Housemate at Uni was adamant they smell like feet.

icking fudiot posted:pretty brutal retrospective on kaos studios. I worked with a few people from THQ's now-closing Phoenix QA branch, who they had sent over to help us with the major testing. They'd been around when Homefront was in development, and mentioned how hopeless that project seemed. This article definitely isn't surprising after what I heard from them. My contract's ending soon, which sucks considering there aren't many leads in this area right now, but at least THQ seems to be doing a lot better with Jason Rubin calling the shots.

Game Foods Megathread The Kaos writeup was the second I've seen, there was also one on Gamasutra where they used the term "Bilsowned" to describe Bilson's hit and run creative direction on Homefront. Everyone I know at THQ says that Rubin is kicking rear end in comparison to Bilson, but I don't know that that is enough. For my friends' sakes, I hope it is.

Aliginge posted:wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't the greasiest goddamn thing known to mankind. I really have to scoff at a brit calling anything the "Greasiest" unless you've experienced the wonders of deep south fried cuisine. I've seen practitioners go through 3/4ths of a tub of crisco for a meal for six people, and there wasn't even anything that overtly greasy in the dish. It's just mind-boggling how much fat you can incorporate into a meal and still have it be solid sometimes.

Is it brined cheese like feta? quote:Cheese curds in cuisine, or cooking, are the solid parts of soured milk either eaten alone or used in various regional dishes, mostly in Canada and the northeastern and midwestern United States. They are sometimes referred to as "squeaky cheese" Not only are they delicious, but you can produce a squeaky melody as you eat them.

Senso posted:Not brined at all, some people say it's cheddar but it's actually more like a kind of mozzarella. I miss poutine... Cheese curds just refer to the curds. When you make cheese, you throw the rennet into the milk, and it separates the milk out into the curds and the whey. The whey is the liquidy part, and the curds are the solid part. At this point, you can eat the curds as-is, or you can use a cheese cloth to compress/drain them. If you stop there, then boom, you've got mozzarella cheese. Or, you can add spices to it at that point, and age the result, and boom, you've got one of the cured cheeses (like cheddar). And so on. Also mind that all of that is an extremely simplified description. ... I know a lot about cheese for someone allergic to dairy. God dammit I miss cheese. I hate you all.
