They were too lazy to put the fruit pieces in the gelatin themselves. The Commonwealth nation's use jelly to mean gelatin while we use jelly to mean fruit spread.

Magic Hate Ball posted:When I was a teenager I used to fill a little dipping bowl with soy sauce and then dip chopsticks in it and lick the chopsticks, and repeat. It was cheaper than an actual salty snack, I guess? I also used to dip the empty edamame shells in soy sauce after I'd eaten the beans and just chew on them for a bit - being poor requires snack ingenuity. What up poor person snack buddy? When I was worse off than I was now, I used to get a giant bag of sunflower seeds, eat them, and then chew on the discarded shells for the salt/taste.

Found something to contribute to the thread, while browsing reviews for the worst restaurants in Madrid. Be warned, customers' phone pics probably don't do the food justice, though. Have some rare meat thrown into a plate. What else would you want? Hopefully nothing, because there's nothing else.  And squid ink "paella". Yeah, it's supposed to be black, so even when good it looks rather AFP. But it's not supposed to look dry as all hell, stick to the bottom, or contain exactly two small pastries and some other non-identifiable things.  Finally, some fried grease! Chicken "mollejas" (gizzard). Again, a bit AFP even when well done. Those look like there's no meat in there.  Bonus: someone wants takeout? Sure there's no way to mess that up. Also, takeout food never looks as good, so...  ...

No photos unfortunately, but I took some croissants into the backcountry this week and compacted them as hard as I could to save space in my pack. They looked like bound feet but were still a delightful buttery treat on the trail.

bunnyofdoom posted:I got some discounted battered poutine bites in my freezer fir some evening when I get stupid drunk and need food These?   They were discounted for a reason. My boyfriend and I tried them a few weeks ago and I don't think even being drunk will improve these. My first thought when I ate one was that the gravy was like Fancy Feast gravy, and the texture of the cheese when warm is all wrong. Once they've been refrigerated they're less bad texture wise, but there's very little potato and the vegetarian gravy is very yeasty and artificial. They're even worse than they look.

I feel like this topic has come up before. Blame folk on cardiac diets, or that need low sodium. They're unfortunately the hardest diets to account for, in terms of flavor, since salt = flavor, honestly. EXCESSIVE salt is the bad thing, but you need some salt in your food to have it taste like something. But since we have to account for that diet, that means we can't really add much/any salt to food. So it's all relatively bland. And ask your nurse/the diet office, for extra salt. It'll help. at least.

Flies land on your food everywhere. And if you buy food in a grocery store that was produced in a factory, let's just say you're getting a decent amount of protein.

Yeah I'm gonna eat allll those delicious fruit flies Seriously, anybody who's grown up near fruit trees of any decent variety can tell you that the bugs only cluster where the loot is good. If there's one pear tree where all the windfalls are like wasp landmines, that's the tree to pick from. If there's a big healthy fig just absolutely swarming with gnats, steal the gnats' lunch and hose off your bounty by the porch before you chow down. If there's a busted watermelon in the field and it's so covered with bees it makes your skin crawl, that's the vine to follow to the next big green ball. You don't wanna eat the bugs, you wanna eat what the bugs are eating. Or more specifically, the things the bugs would eat if they could get through the rind. Sometimes I wonder if I have an extremely strange relationship with food
