The fried butter was absolutely delicious. The fried beer was an abomination. They were basically injecting empty frozen ravioli pasta with beer then deepfrying it and serving it with a side of nacho cheese sauce. It was awful.

 This is fortunately a photoshop, but as far as anti-food porn goes, even the thought of this is a grade-A bonerkiller.

There are sweet and flavored lassis out there as well. I prefer them sweet, myself, but they're just generally handy to have around if you're eating something really spicy.

Sweet lassis are awesome. But I imagine the salted kind tastes like Iranian doogh: carbonated watered-down salted yogurt. With mint. Central Asians love their salted yogurt drinks.

Radio Help posted:As far as American french fry habits that gross me the gently caress out: Before I put myself on a diet, I had a meal at a great rib place that had these killer seasoned fries handmade by the owner as a side. I got my order and proceeded to wolf down ribs and fries at one of two tables in the tiny restaurant, to which the owner's assistant, who was watching me eat, chatted me up by saying, "aren't you gonna put ketchup on those fries?" I told him I didn't like ketchup and the fries were awesome enough to eat without anything; they were perfect as they were. He kept pushing me to put ketchup on my fries ("man, you can't have french fries without ketchup!") like I was doing something sacrilegious, and I told him once again I don't like ketchup and the food was great. He finally stopped pestering me, and I really think he was just playing around because he was an otherwise cool dude, but part of me was thinking he was pissed that someone else broke out the conformity he's familiar with. Sorry, guy. I don't like ketchup, have never eaten it with fries, and don't plan on doing it anytime soon, okay?

Everyone despised it. loving poo poo is like drinking a cup of dip spit that's been fermenting in someone's rear end for a month. Gimme some of that caterpillar, bird and cobra liquor though. I bet it tastes just as wonderful.

I wonder why vanilla got this name of being the 'generic' icecream flavour? I love vanilla icecream. To post some content, I bet some people will find the Dutch tradition of eating raw herring disgusting:

No no, San Pellegrino's lemon flavour pop is amazing (Limonata). Just don't buy the bitter orange flavour (Chinotto). Actually, all their other flavours are great (orange, grapefruit, blood orange).

Actually, all their other flavours are great (orange, grapefruit, blood orange). I second that emotion. The Limonata is amazing. I actually like the Chinotto. Chinotto + Campari is a great drink if you like mouth-puckering bitterness. Otherwise, no. I have a really high tolerance for bitter flavors and alkaline flavors compared to most people I know. (I like lutefisk, too.)

Below, raw herring with cream:  Edit: actually, I wanted to bring out something that was already mentioned in this thread as well (though original poster didn't name it as this) Kogel mogel, is a whipped egg yolk with sugar (two spoons per yolk), consumed raw. Delicious.

One of my secret vices is drinking coke mixed with milk. It bubbles up and gets all frothy, kind of like a less sweet coke float. It's really good but everyone I've suggested it to has wrinkled up their nose.
