The heat and built up steam pressure would carbonize and then turn to diamond the original 'food'.

You could then sell the potato diamonds for real food.

So, today I split a tooth in half while eating some goat curry.

It was the tiniest sliver of bone, too. I had put some meat on a piece of naan, and I had squeezed each piece carefully to check for bones, but obviously I missed a piece. Every time I've ever accidentally bitten down on bone it felt like my tooth had shattered, so this time when it actually happened, I didn't really believe it... until I found the huge chunk of tooth on my plate.

I was with GoWithChrist, and she started totally freaking out. Apparently, she has nightmares about teeth breaking all the time? She was also upset that I nooged the owner for a free meal.

Well, first of all, I've never asked for a free meal in my life, so it's not like something I regularly do. The owner was paranoid that I was going to sue him, so in my mind I was setting him at ease. I said to him "I really like your restaurant, and I'm going to keep eating here, but could you please comp this meal?", and that seemed like a great relief to him.

Their food injured someone. Since that's not exactly the desired outcome of eating at their restaurant, a free meal is kind of a no-brainer from a customer service standpoint.

I've never had so much as a cavity, but when I was 20 I ate a Cadbury mini egg and it completely shattered one of my molars, which then had to be removed.

That was kind of terrifying/unexpected.

God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. Who will wipe this blood off us? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we need to invent?

When I was in New England this fall, I was chewing a piece of gum after eating a shitload of roasted garlic and buffalo mozzarella on a burger at one of my favorite places to eat when I'm back home. Damned filling came out and I crunched down on it. That poo poo sucked. I had to pack the hole with some temporary filling stuff I got at CVS and had to wait like five days til I could get back to my dentist back in Iowa to get it fixed. I was stuck chewing with one side for the better part of a week, including at a wedding. Pretty lovely.

I think I was the goon you're referring to, so not the same place. My office moved recently so we have a new Indian spot that's not as tasty, but also no metal so far.

30: Ask bartender where to eat

Seriously, maybe it's because I'm in the business, but if I don't have friends to recommend places in new towns, I find a bartender in a bar or restaurant that carries interesting tasting things, then explain that I'm after the good poo poo. Generally speaking, we're happy (thrilled, even) to oblige. Ordering mezcal communicates that you're interested in bold flavors and not just hamburgers. Also you get to drink mezcal, which is awesome.

Yeah, that place is on my list to check out, but gently caress driving in this city. It is like rush hour always and everywhere here. I have found a bunch of good places, but what I really want is hole in the wall places I can walk too. I have been asking everyone I meet but I am getting the feeling my hotel is in a wasteland. My poor little per diem is getting murdered down here eating most my meals on the key.

The best mashed potatoes leave the skin in. I score the potato skin like a checkerboard before I boil them so it breaks up easier when mashing.
