Well yeah, okay, I could have said 'quite sour' and been accurate.

The people at Ethiopian and Eritrean restaurants will bring you a fork if you ask. Sometimes that's easier for me if my arthritis is bad, and they never seem to mind or give me a funny look.

Zilzil tibsy and doro wat would be high up on my "last meal" choices.

The one around here just leaves forks and spoons on the table just in case.

Yebeg wat is my favourite, especially with some shiro wat to go with it.

If you want to be depressed, until very recently Subway was by far the best sandwich you could get in my part of China and it was a special treat to go there occasionally. It was also impossible to buy bread worth eating and cold cuts didn't exist so you couldn't just make sandwiches at home that were worth a poo poo unless you did literally every part of it from scratch, including curing your own meat.

This is, fortunately, no longer true. It's still one of the better sandwich choices, superior to any of the local/Korean places, but there are a few real sandwich shops now.

You are the first crack in the sheer face of god. From you it will spread.
I have wondered for decades why fast food chains like McD's and Burger King don't serve hot dogs. Theyh're so cheap, and easy to prepare. Why not, I always asked myself. Well, I tried a Chili dog from Burger King yesterday.

Now I know why they never served hot dogs. :(

Let me take you on a food journey (through Mordor):

The bun was moist, but not in a pleasant way. It was both cold and, despite being bread, runny somehow. The bottom left a paste-like film on both the cardboard container and on my hands. This was probably from the chili, which was watery and somehow was instantly cold, as if the hot dog was a freezer pack. The tiny chunks of "meat" in the chili just kind of speckled the top of the bun like freckles. There wasn't enough substance to the chili to hide the clammy shame of the bun after it's encounter with the chili. While beans usually blend in with chili, these stood out like tiny hot dogs just scattered all over the place, having no thick base or meat to snuggle down into. They mostly fell off in eating the hot dog, making the meal as messy to eat as it was unpleasant. The hot dog itself was aggressively bland, and rubbery. I know that's the expectation with cheap hot dogs, but this was literally the coldest, wettest, most rubbery hot dog I have ever eaten. And I have eaten more gas station hot dogs than I care to admit.

BK chili dog: saddest chili dog.

Somehow my tiny-rear end German hometown in the middle of nowhere has managed to become home to a great Ethiopian restaurant, hiding away in an unassuming side road, when you can't find any Ethiopian even in cities ten times the size. Apparently the owners had lived there for 30 years and eventually decided, let's open a restaurant. By a similar process there is also now one of the most authentic Thai places I've ever been to, wedged between hardware stores and a junkyard.

Sonic dogs are still worse than pretty much any gas station dog. I'm not sure why but hot dogs just don't work at fast food places

This may be skewed since cost of living here is ridiculous, but $31 for a filet mignon actually seems cheap to me. I think at a good steakhouse (I realize that this is what separates the above and this statement), a filet mignon is an easy $40-50.

Something about that poo poo really played with my head when I was a kid and each flavor would taste different than normal ketchup in a really gross way. Like the green tasted like a weird veggie spread and the purple was meat flavored. I know it was just my brain playing tricks on me but they grossed me the gently caress out

Czech schools. That cafeteria serves typical meals inherited from the Communist period of public eating, when any culinary considerations came second to just filling a plate with clumsily ladled cheap slop.
