Maybe so, I rarely think to grab them and when I do they're usually the canned type in water rather than syrup, so they're probably super bland in comparison to a real peach.

If you smoke a cigarette after eating an apple (skin and all, I mean), the smoke will suffocate the bacteria in your stomach and you'll be fine.

Another pic from the old goon low carb thread:

It looks like that's straight out of the fridge, which is why it's gelatinous. Once you heat that up it'll just turn into a liquid again and will be exceptionally tasty. Usually one would skim the fat off the top at that point, but that looks like some good stock.

My ex tried to cook offal once because I had never tried it before and she told me the same thing as you, she also reminisced about how good it was when her late-mother made it back in the Soviet days. I was sceptical but also excited to try something new. So one evening she attempted to prepare it for us even though she could only vaguely remember her mother's method. "I think it's ready!" she said, there was a strange smell in the air, "but I'm not sure i I got it right." she removes the pan lid releasing a mushroom cloud of steam the smell like she had boiled a corpse in sewerage. We both wretched, and decided to eat out.

There was an episode of Mail Call where R Lee Ermey was talking about food. He talked about surviving in hostile environments, and living off the land. He picked up like a bunch of grass with a big fat ant on it, and popped it in his mouth. Then, he sits down in front of a big plate of haggis, describes what it is, looks down at it, and say, "I don't think so," and gets up to walk away.

I don't know if she did it, but apparently that stuff needs to soak in milk for several hours in order to get the poo poo smell out.

Eating that stuff kind of reminds me of my sister's graduation, we went to some stupid tapas restaurant to celebrate and everyone had the idea that we get 3 dishes each and can share or whatever. Well I'm a prick and don't like sharing, so I got the 3 things on the menu that sounded the worst: Sweetbreads, tripe, and blood sausage. I knew how they tasted because I've eaten them before and knew it tasted just fine, but no one else at my table had.

So someone finally mans up and tries each of my dishes, and what do you know, out of everything that everyone got, my 3 dishes tasted the best and my plan backfired when I ran out of my own food and had to eat lovely olives or whatever.

Yep that's it or at least a Latin American version. Her mother was Belorussian so it's more likely one of the Eastern European variants on this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tripe_soups

It looks real nice, I just wish she hadn't gotten cold feet from the smell and chucked it out, I'm guessing she either blocked out the old memory of the smell or her mother used to prepare it while she was at school and not while she was around to smell it cooking.

It had been soaking in something I assume it was milk the contents of the pan just looked like white guts.

According to the original post it's "Japanese egg fried rice with chicken and vegetables". I just don't get why'd you take a photo of your frozen dinner in your dirty-rear end microwave with the wrapper still on it instead of waiting til it's cooked and looks at least slightly like real food.

When I worked as an on-site technician repairing fast food restaurants' POS computer systems (from the registers all the way back to the lines and monitors that displayed what you ordered to the line cooks in the back) I noticed a very distinct level of cleanliness between restaurant brands. Taco Bell has these big stainless steel structures that hold all their taco making things, with a roof and CRT monitors that sat atop them to show what needed to be made and how. That roof where those monitors sit was never, ever ever cleaned in the hundreds of different locations I went to in Wisconsin, Indiana and Illinois. Always a sick clingly grease dust that sat above all the tacos they would make, drifting down into everyone's food. Taco Bell was always the absolute most disgusting across the board and without fail, didn't matter if it was a corporate location or a franchise. I will never eat at a Taco Bell ever again because of that job. They were always the ones to offer me free food too :v: KFC was gross too, but Taco Bell stands out. Anyway, what I am trying to say is that Yum Brand restaurants will always be disgusting pockets of sadness based on working in so many of them. You can imagine what the combination restaurants were like.

On the other side McDonald's were always very clean. The corporate stores were absolutely spotless, even in the areas where nobody else besides me would go and see. Their food still sucks, but McDonald's seemed to actually care about things more than Yum Brands did.
