Shrimp are not exotic in the UK, maybe you should consider getting your eyes checked out? Seriously, not being a dick, there's a whole world of defined leaves on trees out there that a quick optometrist trip can reveal for you

Prokhor Zakharov posted:Voodoo Donuts started that trend here in Portland and is almost universally loathed by people from here. The worst part of Voodoo Donuts (besides the fact that tourists love it, so it must be awful) is that the actual pastry part of the donut tastes fine, but they glop on so much super sugary icing and candy and cereal that the whole thing is kind of ruined. The pastry is also generic and plain as hell and the donuts are only notable for the weird poo poo on top. There are some other donut places that make weird hipstery flavors, buuuut I like them. Blue Star Donuts is nice, but I've only gotten their stuff as gifts so I couldn't say if it's worth the price to buy yourself.

sudonim posted:Raisins are an inexcusable waste of delicious grapes. Got too many grapes lying around? Make wine! It doesn't look like a battered old piece of poo poo from the 50s anymore - they did a big ol' renovation and now it looks sleek and fake-retro. I thought it was pretty funny that they finally cleaned the place up after all that time, and then immediately got hit with a health violation when it re-opened.

This thread has not only given me a very tasty-sounding recipe for pineapple pork, but it has also inspired me to go to a Chinese restaurant in town on payday and gorge myself like a animal. And they serve alcohol, so I'm going to get nicely toasted in the bargain. I miss this old place we used to have, though. It was filthy, but the food was delicious and they always made sure to put out the freshest, best stuff when I showed up because I believe in huge tips for good food. Back when I worked for the government, I used to tip as much as 50% of the bill because I know the work involved in food service. Nowadays I still try to do at least 20%. That's not too cheap of me, is it?

That doesn't really support my point I suppose. I'm just mad that the Bees Knees hipstery grocery store that recently opened down Commonwealth Ave from me is selling donuts for 3 dollars or more (and a 12 dollar grilled cheese sandwich made with duck scrapple  ).The_White_Crane posted:Boy, it's almost like experiences you take for granted aren't shared amongst the entire human race!

Schubalts posted:Donut chat. When I was growing up, there would always be a guy running a mini-donut truck at the main shopping center. Guy only cooked up the donuts right when you ordered, so you got a bag full of fresh mini-donuts and you got to see the entire process from start to finish, for a few marks. Hell yeah. The smell from a donut stand is right up there with the smell of fried onions wafting from a greasy burger stand. Guaranteed to get my stomach rumbling every time.

That reminds me greatly of the "fair food" smell. The worst-for-you yet best-tasting food on the planet. Fancy restaurants can suck it. Look, I know that tiny bowls with big lips are an expensive restaurant thing, but it's stupid. Stop it.

We must fully investigate this "shrimp" organism. Is it tasty? Will it go with chicken? If we serve it with copious amounts of rice and fried vegetables, will it sell for ten dollars... or two hundred?

This was more from a few years ago, but I've seen cheap restaurants marketing Langostino lobster as lobster, when it's this weird little fucker right here. Also Chilean sea bass was originally Patagonian toothfish. Yum yum.

 If you can leave off the cheese and still have a sandwich that makes sense, you have completely failed at making a grilled cheese sandwich.

I don't think a restaurant exists where that is your entire meal unless you specifically order that and only that. Usually things like that would be part of a 5-7 course meal that adds up to being a full meal that most people would find filling especially when you consider you're probably getting a ton of bread and drinks in between. You probably do end up with less food in the end still but quantity isn't the focus of most "fancy" restaurants. If you want quantity go to a brazilian steakhouse...or your local golden corral.

Yeah I don't feel like Michelin star food belongs ITT. You might find it pretentious but 'to get full' isn't why you eat at a Michelin star restaurant, and I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
