BURY ME AS I LIVED, A FREE MAN ON THE CLUTCH

Tiggum posted:

I always think they put too much sauce on those things, but they're pretty nice.

It's weird how arbitrary the prices for different sorts of foods seem to be in different places. Like, here in Melbourne sushi is cheap. And from TV I gather that Chinese takeaway is really cheap in America, whereas it's basically the most expensive here. Just looking at the delivery menus that I've got lying around, I can get pizza, steak, curry, etc. for less than whatever I'd want from the Chinese place.

I think that Sushi quality is about the restaurant, not the region. I've had some of the best Sushi ever in Minnesota and some of the worst in California right on the coast. Osaka in Apple Valley, MN has been my favorite place for years. Kabuki in EP was better about 10 years ago, but they went out of business. Pricing seems consistent in the Twin Cities but it's not cheap. I wish I could get affordable sushi and sashimi, but I live where I live. At least there are an absurd amount of good Thai places that are cheap.

I only ate ramen without broth for the longest time after being introduced to Maruchan in high school. I think I still prefer the cheap stuff sans broth. All of the sodium, none of the liquid to dilute the flavor! :suicide:

(I don't remember the last time I ate Maruchan either as intended or without the broth. I did recently cook a pack with baking soda to improve the texture before adding it to leftover hotpot.)

I am the inverse of you; I like the broth, but the noodles are gross.

The past eight or so pages of this thread have me deeply questioning my upbringing. I really wanted Hamburger Helper growing up, because I liked the anthropomorphic glove in the commercials, but that kind of thing was strictly forbidden in our house. Also hamburger itself. The only meat my mother bought was chicken, and lamb for special occasions. Maybe turkey. My mother was loving crazy when it came to what she fed us. Also, one time, she was moving to Abu Dhabi and I helped her clean out the pantry in our old house and she had fourteen cans of chopped green chilies. Some of them had expired before we even moved to that house.

And I would eat Cincinnati chili.

Shin Ramyun is my AFP ramen craving.

Throw some cheap kimchi in there and it's a drat good lunch.

This is incredibly funny for some reason. It's the visual equivalent of the word "plop".

I refused to try kimchi for a long time because it also has a strong "plop" element



but I am glad I did. It really improved a lot of meals during a particularly rough semester.

The completo hot dog also sometimes includes crumbled up potato chips for added flavor and texture.

I made kimchi from scratch once and while it was delicious, I learned quickly why Koreans often keep a separate refrigerator for it. My ice cubes smelled like fermented cabbage for weeks afterwards.

In NYC there's a Korean food court called Food Gallery 32, and they love serving tiny sides of kimchi with your meal. My favorite was made with mushrooms.

Food Gallery 32 isn't really appropriate for this thread because it is food porn.

I kind of lucked out. We grew up in a neighborhood in Jersey where we were the only natural-born Americans, and everybody else was some kind of Eastern/Central European or Welsh immigrant of all things. Pastys, Pelmeni, stuffed cabbage, golonka, Pierogies (I love ma gluten), Goats that were roasted over a spit in the front yard, etc. I think it's why I ended up cooking for a living. I think it's also why I ended up with Vinni here as an avatar, since Mrs. Gregas somehow got video tapes of it, and would put them on when she babysat us.

BC has some pointlessly good sushi. Also, so does Calgary, for some weird loving reason, considering it's landlocked.

Being on the water isn't that relevant these days, since most fish is flash-frozen at sea and it's all flown in anyway. Toronto has some great sushi too, and I assure you that none of it is coming out of the lake.

Get a fermenting container. They're sold on amazon and are meant to keep smelly fermenting things in the fridge without making everything smell terrible. They're pretty drat cheap too, I use one I got at the korean market for mine. I make massive amounts and just transfer a bit at a time to a smaller container.

I'm currently staying at a Disney Resort Hotel so I shouldn't be surprised to see the Pop Tart Breakfast Sandwich here at their food court but I didn't know they would be available now and I would have the opportunity to eat one. So I got one for science, internet cred, and morbid curiosity.




They came premade and wrapped.




BEHOLD!




Some notes. The frosting is facing the inside of the sandwich which makes sense since it acts as a moisture barrier. There's two pieces of bacon. The egg looks like it was cooked in a mold like at a fast food joint.

And now to eat it. I'm regretting this already.




The strawberry filling, which is really sweet like usual, completely overpowered everything else. Even the bacon. Each bite tastes of nothing but the sweet filling. The only thing the egg, cheese, and bacon contribute is texture. The egg at least was softer than I expected compared to other fast food scrambled eggs. Still, the texture was the only contribution to the sandwich.

Fortunately, I had some extra bacon from another dish to augment the sandwich.




It worked. Sort of. I can taste the bacon but the filling still dominated the flavor.




And it has been defeated.




Would I eat it again? I technically could since I have an iron stomach and this was a drop in the bucket. While it was interesting to try, it wasn't that good without the extra bacon.

The next time I come here for breakfast, I'll probably get the Chicken Fried Chicken. It's breaded fried chicken, scrambled eggs, and sausage gravy.
