Pancakes by Mail posted:I like how the exaggerated, overly-dramatic description you used to make poutine sound SUPER GROSS AND ICKY can apply to literally any food. Also I hate to burst your bubble but using "dismembered" to describe a loving potato is completely sophistic. That was sort of the point. I was (attempting) to make fun of the distinction of comparing one food based upon what it is, rotting fish fermenting etc, with another food that could sound just as gross as what he was comparing it too. I was being sarcastic, but oh well.

Tiamat posted:Oh hey on that note Pu'er tea is made essentially by composting tea leaves. The quality of pu'er is determined by the amount of time it's spent in the ground; in other words, the more it tastes like dead bugs and dirt, the better it's supposed to be. That said, I actually like the taste of it, even the "high quality" stuff. I'll see your Pu'erh tea and raise you Kopi Luwak coffee. Mmm, mmm, that's good (civet) poo poo!

I'm late to the discussion, but yeah, Wisconsin is kind of nuts about food. Even our cocktails have to come with a cheeseburger. Bloody Mary at Sobelman's:  Speaking of drinks, here, have a peep martini in time for Easter:

I'd much rather have poutine than the peculiarly American disco fries, which is really, really lovely quality poutine, except it's supposed to be that way. Fries with "cheese" (probably American, or "cheese sauce" of indeterminate composition) and premade brown gravy, yum yum. The first picture to come up on Google Image Search was literally the most unappealing one I could find. I'm pretty sure I could regurgitate something more appetizing than this.

RentCavalier posted:The worst part about the Double Down is that you'd expect it to be very greasy, but it's actually pretty dry. It's two white meat slabs and the cheese/bacon between them is barely noticeable because the savoriness of the Colonel's Blend of Original Herbs and Spices drowns it out. So you eat basically two chicken breasts at once and it ends up being a dry, crumbly and generally just unsatisfying. Plus it is expensive for what it is. Exactly this - I tried it ONCE and that was it. One time was enough reminder of why I stopped going to fast food places and eating greasy, salty, disgusting poo poo like that years ago. I made the mistake a couple years back of having a couple McDonalds double cheeseburgers and had the greasiest oil-slick shits the next day. Never again.

Double Downs were the first time I considered the possibility that corporate food engineers, or whatever they're called, were coming up with fun new recipes by taking buckets of all the stuff their restaurants already sell, chucking the contents onto the floor, then examining the resulting mess to see if any patterns have emerged, all auguring the future of me having a diabetic foot removed in the McGuts of meals past.

amishbuttermaster posted:All the further tater tot casserole discussion (which is most definitely not a Shepherd's Pie) made me remember another bland, condensed soup nightmare: Cream of Chicken soup "Chicken Enchiladas". My Mom would make this for us when I was a teenager (early 80's). Canned chiles on top if you were adventurous. But I loved it. In fact I went over to my Mom's house a few months ago and I was planning to bring stuff over and cook something together. I ended up asking if she still made her chicken enchiladas and she ended up making a big pan, complete with an iceberg lettuce salad and bottled Italian dressing. I was a very happy dude, though my body probably hated the sodium.

What about liver pate? I used to not like it when I was younger, but now I love it. I can't really describe the taste. Like somebody buried an onion in a cemetery for a few weeks, then ground it up and put it on a cracker. It's pretty yummy but doesn't do your breath any favors.

TheWorldIsSquare posted:The Anti-Food Porn Thread: Literally Half the Posts are Arguing About Poutine That is a dessert, I think. It's a sort of sweet soup. Mostly tastes of sugar water. The fat does sort of melt on the tongue, though. For content: These are fish maws.  The dried-out swim bladder of a bony fish. They're used in soups and stews. When cooked, they transform into a shapeless, spongy mass:  They make drat good stews, though. Then again, maybe that's because of all the other stuff that goes into the pot with them.

^^^La Roux  If there is one thing I can thank for my upbringing, its having grown up just outside Chinatown. The amount of weird and wonderful food I consumed as a kid has really made me determined to try everything once. I'd try pretty much everything in this thread, except for maybe chicken in a can. On the topic of chicken, chicken livers really are the best and you can prepare them in so many ways. Even just lightly frying them with port, lemon juice and garlic will give you an amazing meal.

Silly Hippie posted:Poutine is genuinely remarkable in that in combines all of my least favorite foods in one place (potatoes, gravy, and cheese). Holy poo poo, I remember eating a few of these as a kid. The amount of late-90's chemical wizardry that went into making truly horrible child-centric convenience foods like these (and the short-lived room-temperature cheeseburger variety) is absolutely insane. Even a 10 year-old me was creeped out be these things. Doesn't hurt that my family bought them from an extremely haggard Grocery Outlet at the time. Some of the truly sad crap they sold there deeply affected the way I look at processed foods as a kid. edit: the taco filling tasted like Taco Bell meat served in a brand new tennis ball.
