Haha loving hotdish. One of our newer guys is from Minnesota and we had some food brought in one day and he asked me if I tried the hotdish. Had no idea what the gently caress a hotdish was until that day.

I'm originally from Kansas City and I'd move back just for the BBQ.

In many cases "BBQ" or "barbeque" doesn't actually mean barbeque.

a casserole

e: it's really loosely defined as something hot and in a dish. I could never fuckin get anyone to nail down what it was specifically

e2: it's basically mom's lovely cooking with the added bonus of the bland upper midwest palate where wild rice, hamburger, and bread crumbs with gravy is the pinnacle of flavor. bonus points if you manage to cram walleye in there somehow

I'm guessing you don't have 1000 officer police stations though. The food at Hendon training center is genuinely good. I always get their early to grab some food. The canteens are usually only 0700-about 1630 so only early turn really get to eat or people working office hours.

How often do you grab a munchie box?

We have a canteen at headquarters and the training centre. Both are places I like to try and avoid owing to them being full of senior folk.

Any semblance of care about our station went out the window when they announced a new station would be built... a few years ago. They just recently approved the plans for it though and expect it to be built 2015 or 2016... maybe. Agency commanders don't care because they never visit, and station commanders don't care because their only in the building maybe an hour or two a day.

We built a new jail like 12 years ago, it just got a 2 million dollar renovation. 4 years ago we built a new 9 million dollar HQ which houses almost all of the divisions that were previously at little crappy satellite buildings all across the parish. Right now we're building a new training center that will house the academy, the few remaining divisions in satellite buildings, a commercial kitchen for extended hurricane duty & a gym with free weights, treadmills, whatev that we have access to 24/7.

Buried beneath that piping hot layer of tater tots is probably green beans, corn, hamburger, and cream of mushroom soup. Sometimes you might get tuna in there as well. This can be found in the basement of every lutheran church from wisconsin to wyoming. It really doesn't taste that bad but you are guaranteed to find it at every birthday, funeral, wedding, and family reunion.

A good 'hamburger' or chopped steak usually has onions and sometimes peppers cooked into it. I wouldn't call it a delicacy but if you're in the kind of place where an actual steak would be overpriced and mostly gristle it's not a bad option. It usually comes with mashed potatoes and maybe corn so you're pretty much just mixing them up into a make-your-own shepherd's pie anyway.

I ate BBQ gator in Florida, it was loving delicious but the gator we get in London is nowhere near as fresh. Orlando cops also pulled us over and wet themselves with excitement when he pulled his license out of a warrant card. I also saw people collecting money in one of the bars for Sinn Fein and my dad almost explode.

Thats my florida experience, I hope you enjoy it

Also gently caress the manatees, one of them blew snot on me

Or did they work because he ran away?

Crap I don't know anymore. At least he ran away so they could gleefully shoot him down in the street because gently caress cops right?

It is kind of ridiculous they waited till he had thrown all his weapons at them that they decided to gun him down though. If that happened in the US I could see a tennessee vs garner style court case come out of it.

Whats with the lack of cuffing and first aid going on?

I'm not going to cry about him being shot because for all I know he might have just killed someone round the corner and the Police have an honest belief that he will do it again, but if you're gonna shoot someone, why the gently caress would you go for the legs and not shoot centre mass?

How are you going to argue in court that you were justified in shooting him in the legs to stop him but not in the chest to kill him but he ended up bleeding out because the bullet nicked the femoral anyway?

It's Poland, I've been a few times and the police are pretty hands on but the criminal justice system is meant to be pretty modern and has to conform to all the wankery that the EU stuffs down it's throat. You might expect a kicking for being arrested for drunken fighting but a bit of extra-judicial killing seems a bit strong for them. Watching that video it just looked like the officers didn't know what they were doing.

Nowadays, that gets called a Salisbury steak.

Chopped Hamburg steak. It is where the name "hamburger" came from, and how they used to be served before the 1904 World's Fair when some enterprising person put the patty in a toasted roll. Prior to that, they were cooked more like what we today call "patty melts".

Popularity of chopped/ground beef (and sausages) plummeted after Upton Sinclair wrote The Jungle. Although burgers did pick up after White Castle went into business.
