Pookah posted:I asked him, as I do every Christmas, to bring me some butterfingerses, I know they are not univerally loved but I really like the inside of them, and there's nothing really like them over here. He brought me these: You should ask for a zagnut bar which is like a butterfinger on the inside with toasted coconut on the outside (no cheap chocolate). They aren't as common as butterfinger but they are much better!

Pastry of the Year posted:I used to eat those Hershey kisses with almonds in a peculiar way: I'd bite off half the chocolate, leaving me with half-a-kiss with the embedded almond exposed. One day, I did that and watched in horror as a maggot crawled out of the almond. I had a bag of Christmas themed Snickers once, with snow scenes printed on the wrappers. Ate half the bag before I got one that wasn't perfectly covered in festive white sprinkles. Looked closer and realized they were in fact not supposed to have sprinkles at all. Took me a decade to eat Snickers again, which was a shame considering they sent me over 100 bucks in coupons for free candy.

Sounds like the chocolate had "bloomed." That basically means the good coconut oils have seeped out of it leaving it chalky and white (and not very good)

No, it was definitely maggots, looked nothing like bloom. I inspected the bag thoroughly and found a few outside the wrappers.

Speaking of Christmas chocolate a friend of mine has family in Germany and every year they send a massive crate of every German dessert imaginable and all they wanted in return was a bunch of lovely American junk food.

I may be being stupid but don't maggots only eat meat? Or are they omnivores? I don't doubt your experience, but is there like a sugar worm or something? That's a horrifying story nonetheless. I love bugs and crawlies but maggots and worms are TOUGH.

Sushi-ro, a Japanese conveyor sushi chain, does a salmon nigiri with pesto and cheese. I was suspicious at first, but now I get one every time I go.

Aunt Beth posted:All this talk of ranch on wings is 100% AFP. The only acceptable dressing for wings is bleu cheese. Correct. One of my mates makes the best blue cheese sauce I've ever had bc he makes it from scratch with homemade mayo (idc if that's the right way its fuckin good right) Iirc Hersheys is made with trace amounts of Butyric Acid, which is what gives vomit its' distinct smell. Whether it was part of the manufacture process or we but apparently people didn't like it as much without lol

Tashilicious posted:This is why I cannot stand Hershey's Kisses. They taste like puke to me and just not. It's why they don't do so well here in Australia. You compare it to some of the chocolate available from manufacturers here and it's mind blowing. Or you get some Belgian/Swiss chocolate from a deli and there's literally no comparison

Iron Crowned posted:Meh, I doubt it's like that. I think it's just because Hershey's is the cheap poo poo. Oh, sure. But there's also a weird undercurrent where people have convinced themselves that the most ubiquitous thing is by definition the best. Like people will drive past a dozen really good burger places to get a Big Mac. To a degree it's "eh, it's what I'm in the mood for", but there's also this folkloric narrative underlying a lot of stuff like that, that people love to use to justify liking it even if they'd prefer other stuff if they gave it a chance.

Is the chocolate different on like an American snickers vs a UK one because snickers are amazing and I might get one later Hershey's is gross af, I've genuinely tried dog treats and hamster food I enjoyed more.

It was probably a Snickers. I genuinely like both. Making fun of someone for growing up eating Hershey chocolate is like making fun of someone for growing up liking the taste of borscht or dried fish with natto: if you grew up eating it, you'd probably love it too because that's how brains work.

Hershey's tastes like vomit because it has butyric acid in it. It originally had butyric acid in it so it would always taste the same regardless of the freshness of the milk. Now it has butyric acid in it so it will taste like Hershey's.

yeah I eat rear end posted:I think the hersheys hatred on the internet is pretty overblown. I mean, yeah it's bad chocolate, but preferring dog food over it? Come on. as a child, I ate a whole bunch of dog biscuits, because they came in different colors and I wanted to see (a) if the colors denoted different flavors and (b) if I was missing out on something good, since the dog sure seemed to enjoy them they did not, and I was not, and to this day I prefer Hershey bars to dog treats, although I admit to being tempted by the fancy ones that look like elaborately iced cookies by the checkout counter at the pet supply store  I'm not sure if it was this brand, but I'm here to tell you that unless a lot has changed over the years, this is a bald-faced lie also the assortment I had had a green one (?!)
