Its not a joke though, its just pointing out something in a photo. Its the same level of "joke" as "I see the x in the photo, do YOU guys?"

But its a silly thing to argue and internet humorists are going to do it anyway. Keep on keepin on I guess!

I made this stew last summer, during one of my "photograph all my food" phases. It was really good, but it's hard to make a pot of beef stew look like something besides a vat of brown-gray sludge. Note that this was after I tweaked color saturation to make it less gray on the wonderful Samsung phone camera that I was packing at the time :v:

I'm the "avacoda sauce".

My grandmother had some kinda "southwest cooking for your family" type of cookbook from the 90s, which I wanna say was published by Readers Digest or something. Anyway, the guacamole recipe in there called for mayonnaise as the base. It was like a 50/50 mayo-guac blend. It's one of the most midwest.txt things I've ever encountered.

e: might have been Good Housekeeping as the publisher? I can't find it with a cursory google search, or I'd paste a cover photo.

That sounds like a 1950s attempt at an "ethnic" recipe. The 1953 edition of Joy of Cooking has a curried chicken recipe that calls for 1/4 teaspoon of curry powder for six servings, and suggests seasoned salt if you can't find such an exotic ingredient.

The Koreans have this love of short arm octopi, called jjukkumi in Korean. Sometimes in the springtime, the heads of these octopi are filled with eggs. The eggs, which look like little individual grains of rice, are considered a delicacy. They look like this:



Thing is, sometimes you get an octopus where the egg sac hasn't finished forming yet, and is still in the form of countless little threads. Then when you cook the octopus, the heat detaches the threads from their root and they end up floating around inside the octopus's head. Then you get this when you cut it open.

I've been to a few places in Mexico that threw crema/mayo in the guac, though usually only the tiniest amounts. It's weird that there was such a fuss over some newspaper recipe that put peas in guacamole, and people calling it "incorrect" or not "traditional" when Mexicans love throwing all kinds of poo poo in guacamole because straight avocados are pretty gross.

Yeah, if I'm being honest I make a pretty impure guac myself. I put minced onions in there, and like a shitload of curry powder.

I make a thing we call Irish nachos. Here is how:

Cut a lot of potatoes into wedges, rinse, and put in a pyrex or ramekin or whatever you have to bake poo poo it
slam an entire stick of butter into it
salt it
cover with shredded cheese and bacon bits (the good ones, not the soy bacon cereal ones)
bake at like 375 until the potatoes are soft and the whole thing glistens with oils and fats like my forehead
top with chives
kill you are self (one bite at a time)

I suppose that's considered even more of a delicacy.

Ah, yes. I experienced a similar scenario with a bag of gummi worms, which I quickly found out were discreetly labelled as for diabetics. A tip: diabetic candy will give you Not So Much A Time if eaten in large quantities.

Eating too much sugar-free candy causes some amazing poo poo. Literally. http://www.amazon.com/Sugar-Free-Jelly-Belly-Assorted-case/product-reviews/B0015DA1HI


Going back to school lunch chat for a minute...my rural public school's wasn't too horrible (we had a decent salad bar and actual lunch ladies, most of whom were parents of students and thus DID give a bit of a crap about how well we were eating), but there was one weird rule where you had to take either a carton of milk OR a piece of fruit. You HAD to take one. You could NOT have both. To this day, I am confused as to how this fulfilled any nutritional standards, but they were hardcore about it and I got detention once for refusing. I transferred to private school after sophomore year and the food improved quite a bit, in both quality and quantity, and they had a better salad bar than I've ever seen in a restaurant. I wasn't supposed to eat the public school lunch, for the record, but if my mom was out of town, my dad would let me.

Then I went to university (in Canada, for comparison) and met a lot of students who were using their flex dollars at Pizza Pizza and McDonald's and poo poo places like that...a friend of a friend at another school gained 50 pounds in two months because she could use her meal card and all her food credit at any fast food place on or near campus, and she just plowed through garbage for every meal.

Working in Korea, school lunch was beautiful: usually two kinds of kimchi, rice, soup, and a vegetable, and then a number of main dishes. All public schools have an on-staff nutritionist. Kids are encouraged to clean their plates and they're free to get as much food as they like. Unfortunately, the food at my school was sugary as hell- sweet corn dogs? Sugar on the garlic bread?- and I actually gained ten pounds from eating in the cafeteria. Now that I'm in China, the food at school is quite varied and you get lots of choices, but it is occasionally rotten. Like, actually rotten. The school I teach at costs $16K USD a year, for the record.

In short, school lunch is pretty much always the loving worst. Everywhere.

I wish I could go back in time and be snotty and ask if I can have a milk and a fruit, but no actual lunch.

Also, I am now reminded that if I was lucky enough to get Tater Tots, I would eat them with mustard.

I know this kind of KD. It's when you don't add enough milk (or water if you're really poor) and it dries out and gets really sticky after 10 minutes.
