It's a KFC zinger pie from :australia:

I looked up what zinger pie is, but it just said its made with 'zinger' chicken and gravy.

Is that some AUS-specific name for spicy chicken? NGL, I'd probably eat a spicy chicken and gravy pie and never speak of it again.

I'm super on board with hand-pies. I loved pot pies as a kid but they're a pain in the rear end and not enough crust usually...discovered these frozen hand pies from Australia that were on deep discount at my grocer, bought enough for like 20 dinners, and fell in love. Not sure why it's not a common thing in the states, it just fits our everything.

The zinger burger is a fried chicken fillet with spicy breading, the zinger pie is shredded chicken with spicy gravy.

My mom's chicken pot pie was a flavorless, dry crust pulled over top of a square cake pan filled with canned vegetables suspended in a flavorless corn starch slurry. The chicken was the only edible part. I won't even look at pot pies now. Overall she makes wonderful meals, but her other method of ruining chicken involves mixing it with canned peas and some sort of condensed cream of whatever soup. She calls it Chicken Doo-doo.

The US just consumes whatever ethnic version of hand pie they are feeling. Pastys, empanadas, pierogies (kinda closer to a dumpling), calzones, strombolis, and of course the molten lava filled Hot Pocket.

"Kinda"? They are straight up dumplings. Jesus tapdancing Christ I'm irrationally angry you just suggested pierogi might be pie.

When I was a kid, I liked when hot pockets were barely heated enough so you'd have chunks of almost melted cheese

Berries That Burn

Rafflesia is a genus of parasitic flowering plants. It contains approximately 28 species (including four incompletely characterized species as recognized by Willem Meijer in 1997), all found in Southeast Asia, mainly in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines. It was first discovered by Louis Deschamps in Java between 1791 and 1794, but his notes and illustrations, seized by the British in 1803, were not available to western science until 1861. It was later found in the Indonesian rainforest in Bengkulu, Sumatra by an Indonesian guide working for Joseph Arnold in 1818, and named after Sir Stamford Raffles, the leader of the expedition.

The plant has no stems, leaves or roots. It is a holoparasite of vines in the genus Tetrastigma (Vitaceae), spreading its absorptive organ, the haustorium, inside the tissue of the vine.[1] The only part of the plant that can be seen outside the host vine is the five-petalled flower. In some species, such as Rafflesia arnoldii, the flower may be over 100 centimetres (39 in) in diameter, and weigh up to 10 kilograms (22 lb). Even one of the smallest species, R. baletei, has 12 cm diameter flowers.

The flowers look and smell like rotting flesh, hence its local names which translate to "corpse flower" or "meat flower" (see below). The foul odor attracts insects such as flies, which transport pollen from male to female flowers. Most species have separate male and female flowers, but a few have hermaphroditic flowers. Little is known about seed dispersal. However, tree shrews and other forest mammals eat the fruits and disperse the seeds.

I've always wanted to see a corpse flower when it blooms. There's one at UC Davis, about 45 minutes from me, but they rarely bloom.

the cat litterbox cake is an extremely pro move for halloween parties

go to the dollar store or walmart or whatever and buy a plastic litterbox and poop scooper, wash and dry

make the litterbox cake with crumb topping, serve in the litter box w/ melted tootsie roll poops

it costs about the same as ordering a pizza and drunk halloween adults love it

back when i was working as a typesetter at a graphic design place, there was an inside joke about one of the ladies there and how she liked to eat poo poo. she was in on the joke and would joke about it too. for her birthday we did exactly this. she loved it, took pics and put them on her myspace (it was years ago)

The one you labeled minestrone is actually some spaghettios abomination. The top unknown is just beef broth and the bottom unknown is your minestrone.
