I don't really get why you would make them at home, but they are a staple of what's served at the canteen at small-town community gatherings where I come from. It's all the same ingredients and you don't have the added trash/expense of a plate. I don't really see a downside.

The walking taco is a pretty popular street food in actual Mexico but they have a different name for it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tostilocos

I've always been more of a fan of the "frito boat" kind that is more like a Frito pie and is chili/onions/cheese/etc in a bag of Fritos. My Uncle used to eat at a place near his work that made the Dorilocos variant with flamin' hot cheetos which I imagine is just straight up murder on your butthole.

They don't taste much better, honestly. I'm a bit spoiled in that I could go downtown and get buck-a-shuck fresh oysters each day, but I like all seafood and I don't much like smoked oysters.

They are one of the most disappointing canned/tinned foods ever. They basically taste like artificial smoke flavored fish scented paste nodules.

They're basically sardines that don't stink up your house, if you like one you'll like the other but they don't resemble regular fresh oysters that much.

Fresh smoked oysters are the best thing in this world. Sadly over here you might get a killing diarrhea, so it's one of those foods you have to be extra careful with.

I've had lots of fresh shellfish, but never smoked, and now I'm sad about that. I've also had live/raw clams a couple hours after catching them, and it was surprisingly good. We just kept them in a bucket of water, and ate them out of there while getting drunk and watching a thunderstorm. :911:

Well I'm ok with all kinds of canned fish, so I guess I might as well try canned oysters sometime.

You can literally die from it. Once in a while the oceans gets extra contaminated (sewage) and the goverment forbids consuming certain sea food. Or we get an oil spill, like it happened recently. Third world problems! :v:

I would eat the poo poo out of that "fun pizza" now or when I was in fourth grade. What kind of retarded fucker bitch kids don't like watermelon, or strawberries, or blueberries, or oranges, or kiwi?

But doing a surprise replacement of real pizza with fruit is a bad move. Unless it's fruit on top of real pizza, specifically pineapple.

People say bigger is better.

But for the first time in my life, I think I've gone too far.
I would eat that entire fruitzza by myself.

It still feels weird to me that I thought fruit and veggies were some of the best things ever as a kid, and that pop culture kids all hate them and need to be tricked into it or something. Maybe growing up within driving distance of a 'pay to pick' strawberry farm, an apple orchard with massive apples, and having cherry trees and blackberries growing around my school had a hand in it.

How do you gently caress up as a parent and not introduce your children to eating fruit so that they love it? Do you have to exclusively feed them microwaved pizzas and McDonald's until they're 14 so they'll actively shun the pleasures that lie within a kiwi or pineapple?

Yes. Also, the idea of "finish your peas before you leave the table or no dessert" is now considered child abuse by this generation of parents.

The massive rise in the number of "picky eaters" who have all sorts of reasons why they won't eat or even consider a vast variety of foodstuffs is almost uniquely a US/UK thing because working parents are raising their kids on fast food and microwavable poo poo to the point where the modern restaurant industry is now dealing with grown adults who bitch and complain because they want mac and cheese or a cheeseburger when they're eating at a fancy restaurant.

I don't think taste necessarily has much to do with your parenting. Sometimes people just decide they aren't going to like a thing, and no matter how many times you give it to them they'll still dislike it. My dad had a good upbringing and all that but to this day he refuses to eat anything with condiments on it. Every burger has to be plain, no cheese, no nothing except salt and pepper. Every salad has to be undressed, lettuce only. Foods like pizza or pretty much anything with melted cheese are forbidden. He was even a chef most of his life, so I don't get it, it's just the way he is.

The idea of forcing vegetables and fruits on kids as a punishment is really stupid though.It's not child abuse but it's a dumb as gently caress way to try to get your children to like a food. I was never forced to eat everything on my plate when I was a kid because who the gently caress always wants to eat everything on their plate

Here's a clip about a british girl who would only eat burnt sausage or something and was planning on being a chef even though she refused to try any of her own food or ingredients. I have no idea why you would get into a field like that if you're totally unable to even comprehend what you're creating.

Unfamiliar tastes are always a shock to many people but real grown-ups take it in stride and push through it. The first time I ate sushi it was bizarre as hell, but I kept at it and slowly learned to enjoy literally any variety of sushi, including live shrimp and roe, which a few years ago I would reject.

It's telling that picky eaters are almost 100% fatty, fast food eaters. No picky eater only eats rice and bell peppers, or just eats healthy food, it's always pizza, fries, pasta fatty foods, sugary treats, etc. That's probably down more to upbringing and being coddled during formative years then anything else. Like all genuine phobias its something that can be treated and overcome relatively easily as long as the person puts in the work.

The weird thing is he actually was a good chef and worked at a lot of respectable places - not michelin star places obviously but high-class 50+ dollar a seat places. So I think he must have had at least some concept of what flavors worked and what didn't, but when he cooks for himself it's the kind of stuff you'd expect from your 9 year old.
