The purple is probably sauerkraut and due to the presence of what appears to be chopped up liver sausage and pickles I'm going to guess it's either slavic or from the American rust belt. It sort of bares slight resemblance to a Tramezzino, but without all the things that make those good.

Although this combination I'm really afraid to try



Baked bread with lard, pickle, large amount of cheese and garlic sauce.

Look up 'smörgåstårta'. it's Swedish for 'sandwich cake'. served at work related events, old people birthdays and funerals.

Most common version has shrimp, smoked salmon and eggs. Mayonsaise, lots and lots of mayonaise. The frosting is plain cream cheese.

That's the evil MegaGloboCorp of food services. Operates cafeterias in workplaces, schools, hospitals and military bases all over the world. Also most US college dining halls.

Oh, those assholes! They walked out of a contract at my university because they deemed it 'not profitable enough', and left all the food to rot after shutting off the freezers and fridges when they left with a few day's notice. Good riddance, their food sucked anyways and was horribly overpriced.

The new company that took over is much better, but I don't know what they're called. With Sodexo, I could get a tuna , egg salad, or ham sandwich on dry wonderbread for the same price as a "Tuscan grilled cheese" which is mozzarella, roasted red peppers, portobello mushrooms and pesto on marbled rye with these new guys. They even accept Tim Horton's gift cards for anything they sell, which is something every student here has as a gift from somebody in their lives :canada:

Urban Dictionary posted:

Croint

Any joint rolled by a certain Roy Ferari. This Roy rolls really crusty joints, and so the name 'Custy Roy Joint' came into play whenever he rolled a joint. A 'Croint' is a variation of that phrase, utilising the first letters of Custy and Roy and placing them before the word joint with the J removed. Croints have a certain resemblence and definite traits, and so thereforre when somebody other than Roy Ferrari rolls a custy looking joint, it is reffered to as a croint. It is an insult to the person's rolling ability.

Don't overthink it, it's just weed, dude.

Dude. It's redneck logic, don't try to overthink it. Rednecks love terrible poo poo and are proud of their love of terrible poo poo. "Aw hay-ell, we ain't gonna roll no fancy blunts, we're crointin'!" would not be a thing I would be surprised to hear from my neighbors.

Laughing and agreeing with this way too much. I now imagine Tiggum as some strapping Norweigan or somesuch lad who delights in eating beets straight from the soil and frolicking around fields while eating a chunk of goat's milk cheese,....

Either that or an aspie fiend who has grown up on chicken nuggets and those disturbing crinkle cut french fries you get in the freezer section.


I always got a kick out of Potted Meat Food Product. At least the name sort of tells you that it's barely food, it's a product! But, if you're a starving idiot, it can really pack a load of needed calories. And sodium. And weird pinkishness. And,....Oh god it's smooth and creamy......

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potted_meat_food_product

I have a can of this stuff sitting on top of my fridge. It's unlabeled. And has a school teacher's glass and brass bell on top of it. I have dared many brave adventurers to test the mystery can, but so far nobody dares to imbibe in the great pink mystery sludge,....*Woooo spooky crazy mage sounds*

I suck at being a human who is able to feed myself on a regular basis, so I eventually wound up not eating for four or five days at one horrid point in my life and noticed that my food options were a can of sardines from 1989 (it was 2006,....) or one of two cans of Potted Meat Food Product! Yaaay!! I ate it spread on a box of two month old triscuits that I randomly found laying around,..
I tried to think of amusing scenarios where a can of that weird sludge would be massively appreciated, and my first thought was Russians, especially in Ww2, I like reading about different military's rations and MRE's and whatnot, and Russia has some pretty...."Interesting" MRE's. But if you're some dude sitting in some cold as gently caress place and need energy, they're fatty as all hell and useful. Just hope you can remotely warm it up, if not, meat fat ice cream!

And I'm kind of hoping that Ensign Expendible or whatever his name is will show up, if he has any knowledge about Russian rations. I know he's certainly knowledgeable about all sorts of random aspects of military stuff.

Never would have guessed, because we grew our own. What we didn't grow, we bought frozen.

I think I always assumed canned was gross, because I don't think we used it except once in a blue moon (or for stuff like chili).

This speaks heavily to my bias in what I was fed growing up. But, in my experience, canned corn was superior to frozen. Canned green beans were ok, frozen had fresher texture but a squeakiness when chewing.

Any type of "salad," (save for the salad consisting of lettuce, dressing, etc) is absolutely disgusting. 99% of the time it's just stupid amounts of mayo, mixed with random ingredients.

Egg Salad: Eggs and mayo

chicken salad made with guacamole instead of mayo is delicious

I find frozen vegetables tend to be mushy. Corn especially has a weird unpleasant texture and bland flavor when it's been frozen. For corn I'll take canned. Green beans it depends whether you like the overcooked canned texture or the frozen chewy texture better. Frozen spinach is vastly better than canned.

All of those things with just a little to some mayo are pretty good, as are chicken salad, tuna salad, etc. You gotta have a light hand with the mayo, and don't put extra on the bread.

Some vegetables have a short shelf life fresh, and freeze well, like broccoli. Peas go from starchy to overripe in a few days, so that's why you rarely see fresh green peas for sale. With those kinds of vegetables, chances are you will actually get a higher quality from the frozen section than from fresh produce.

Also canned beans are convenient and stuff.
