I still don't really understand what the appeal is for people who enjoy dishes that are basically just something swimming in mayonnaise. Humorously the pie floater is somewhat of an oddity where I live (Queensland) because when you buy a meat pie from a vendor (who typically drive around in a little van selling pies to all the trades people) you have the option of getting it with peas, where we cut the top off and put some mashed peas under it. When I found out about the pie floater I was very confused; "Why would the peas go OUTSIDE the pie? Now you need a bowl to eat it."

You appear to be be confusing what I said for fruit mince. I mean mince as in minced meat. Meat that is put through a mincer. Although fruit mince tarts are my favorite part about christmas.

I guess to a lesser extent Canada did too when they turned Chips, Gravy and Cheese in to Poutine, but us Brits didn't use cottage cheese on ours. You think a poutine is made with cottage cheese?  e: Okay this is less weird considering the wikipedia article I guess - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheese_curd quote:In the Indian subcontinent, fresh cheese curd is also known as cottage cheese. It is made by boiling milk and then adding an acid (vinegar, lemon juice) to curdle it. Once the milk is curdled, the watery portion is discarded and the white casein is retained. It is then put into a mold and made into a roughly rectangular or oval shape. Paneer, as it is known all over the country, is widely used in snacks, appetizers, main course, and rice biryani. It is an alternative to meat and is very popular especially in India.[7] A Classy Ghost has a new favorite as of 13:24 on Jan 30, 2015 |

That's ketchup on top. BTW in Australia ketchup is called tomato sauce. When in Australia and wanting "tomato sauce" as known in the USA, eg for cooking, it goes by the Italian names here. You need to buy 'Pasata' for plain sieved tomatoes, or 'sugo' for flavoured tomato sauce with salt and herbs etc. Ask for tomato sauce here and you're getting ketchup, (unless it's for a pasta dish meal type situation where it's obvious). e: late edit, also in Australia and UK, mince meat is ground meat. Eg minced beef, minced lamb etc. It's meat that goes through a mincer. Of course you can even have minced fruit in a sweet dessert pie, but even still, makes more sense to me than the USA 'ground beef' etc, as meat doesn't go through a 'ground' or even a grinder, it goes through a mincer.

Anti food porn: My mum invited me over for lunch, said she's got salmon and salad. Knowing her I said no thanks, I don't like canned salmon (as she always has real bad food - I was brought up on anti food porn). She said she has got real salmon this time which was a suprise to me. It was frozen in a box, in microwavable bags that she put in the microwave and overcooked most of them. Slimy, not good. Luckily there was one raw piece still there. When I asked her to stop and please get me a frypan she had to search around for a bit and didn't know what I was trying to do. She cooks every drat thing in the microwave now, never uses a pan, stove top or oven. I know microwaves can be useful, and she always buys the latest and flashiest convection/grill/oven microwave, but just ends up plain nuking everything anyway. E: she gave my 2y/o son some chicken once, he does not like chicken any more

When you're old your senses of smell and taste go to poo poo, so I'm sure the convenience of microwaving food starts to outweigh the downside of taste.

So I've posted this abomination before (not sure if this thread, but definitely on SA), but I feel like it definitely needs some more attention due to its overall  factor. This death by sodium was affectionately named by my roommate, a "Brick".Step 1: Gather your ingredients. As you can see, I've decided to use cup ramen, however the brick version is just as good.  Step 2: Crush your Cheetos (or whatever brand) into a powder. No chunks. They should look like cheese dust when you're done. Also, take your soups and crush them as well. Protip: If using the cup ramen style, don't remove the plastic before crushing the soups. For some reason the plastic prevents the styrofoam from breaking. Now mix the crushed, dry soup and the puffs into the puffs bag. Shake to incorporate.   Step 3: Water. Hot, obviously. You want a good amount, but not enough for everything to swim. If you're mixing it all together while adding the water, it should feel sort of like soft Play-Doh when you have a good amount. Once you've done that, mix it up. Mix it well or else you're gonna have a brick that's half ramen and half cheese. You're looking for incorporation here.   Step 4: Form the vague shape of a brick (or whatever shape you do so choose), cover with some weight (not really sure why, just do it), and let sit for 5-7 minutes.   Step 5: Gather your toppings. Pictured here are sour cream and onion chips, some smokehouse bacon chip dip poo poo, tuna fish and spicy queso.  At this point, cut open your bag (also use for a plate for full bachelor effect) and you should have something resembling this...  It should be decently firm. A little bit more firm than tofu. Step 6: Go loving bananas topping that bad boy. Try to keep the more liquid toppings to the bottom, and the dry stuff (chips, etc.) towards the top to prevent them from getting soggy.   The finished product, topped off with some mayo and Hooter's hot sauce (surprisingly, not a bad hot sauce).  Dig in and feel horrible about yourself for hours afterwards. Also, come up with a good reason for your doctor as to why your sodium levels are off the charts. Disclaimer: So I was incarcerated for a while, and this is why/where I learned this abomination of a recipe. While I DID ACTUALLY make this god awful thing as pictured here, it was for my roommate and some buddies to show the kinds of poo poo we ate from the commissary. What surprised the poo poo out of me, was that almost everyone said that it wasn't bad. Would be better being a bit softer, and being like, a chip topper. Whatever. They ate it all though, so I guess it can't be too horrifically bad.

There's nothing wrong with a good spread. poo poo's delicious when all you've eaten that day is worse than hog slop and your kitchen is a water kettle and a few bunk's worth of commissary. Keep that poo poo behind bars where it belongs though, drat. I mean, I crave freeze dried beans cooked with doritos and ramen all the time. That's called "PTSD" don't give in.

Well, there's stuff like haggis, gefilte fish, and thousand year old eggs that people will post, and even if you're not a fan, you know that some people happily eat them up. That, though... Man, prison or no, I'd happily take the bologna sandwich before a gross concoction that puts the "nah" in NaCl.

My parents are the same, I don't know what happened to them. Growing up we had a huge vegetable garden and fruit trees from which we would eat from all summer and preserve the rest. We were always making (x) at home instead of buying the premade version at the store. My mom cooked a meal from scratch for six every night. But now that the kids are out of the house and they make more money, it's microwaved crap every night. And nothing can have salt or fat, only imitation butter flavored PAM.

A large community of people has individuals in it that have spent time in jail? SCANDALOUS. Also LOL if you think the weird poo poo made with commissary isn't a step up from whatever it is the kitchen flopped on a tray three hours before it gets to your tank. I had a "cake" made out of melted caramels, crushed cookies, and snickers that made me weep. Possibly because we were having it to celebrate another inmate finding out she was pregnant, but it tasted damned good. edit: A prison food thread would be really short on recipes. Even including flavor variations combining hot-ish water, ramen, beans, chips, pepperoni, and pickle juice into slop is pretty limiting. fizzymercury has a new favorite as of 22:21 on Jan 30, 2015 |

From there it just varies from what additional flavors are added.
