weird to see dominos be so expensive as here in the states its the one i sometimes get only because they regularly slash the menu price in half so i can buy an obscene amount of pizza for a pittance.



In Australia, Dominos is the cheap pizza place. The pizzas aren't good but they are occassionally passable and cheap.

That and the Chongqing Fried Chicken which is like half cubes of fried chicken and half just cut up Sichuan peppers with slices of garlic throughout. Now I'm hungry for more.

My place does that ! I just tried it last week. I'd say it needs some sort of sauce, or at least my order did, but that had an insane hit of salt and heat. I killed the entree like it was an appetizer.

Beef heart is super delicious and cheap for the amount of meat you get after cleaning and portioning it. They are 4-5 pounds unprocessed and I had steak for an entire week from just one. I had grilled chicken hearts at Brazilian restaurant once and they were fantastic. I can't do a lot of chicken livers or gizzards because they are just so rich.
I used to live near a supermarket that sold fully trimmed and ready-to-cook chicken hearts and they were fantastic. Super cheap and delicious. But then they changed owners and you had to cut all the garbage off yourself and I just can't be bothered with that so I haven't eaten them since.

It was a pretty daunting task to clean and trim a beef heart. I'm a vet tech so I'm kinda used to gross poo poo. It was half cool, half ugh gross until I had it sliced up and looking more like meat than a whole drat organ.

Honestly the time I got a beef tongue was far worse. The tongue was very loving exactly what you think it was, just a whole cow tongue with like grass stains still on it and everything. Stripping the skin off of it when it was done cooking was 10x worse than cutting the veins and fat off the heart.

my problem with organ meat (aside from the blood taste i just find unpleasantly metallic/bitter) is when i try to prepare any of it, i get the sympathetic pains in the organ.

even little chicken hearts make my heart skip a beat when they get the chop.

We ordered pizza from a Turkish place we hadn't tried before. Opening the boxes we thought they'd hosed up and sent 2 cheese pizzas. I was going to call to complain but my partner decided to eat a slice and discovered that the toppings were under the cheese. It kinda ruled, since each bite was a surprise - will it be pepperoni, will it be jalapeno? - and it seemed to lock in the flavours more. I'm probably going to try it the next time we make some homemade pizza.

None of the other middle-Eastern places round here that sell pizza prepare it this way so I'm guessing it's not a cultural thing and just an odd method used by that one place.

from what I gather, pasta is a cheap bullshit food in italy that they take for granted totally...we on the other hand charge exorbitant sums for "good" italian food, but it's really nothing special

so I say loving up noodles is like loving up a hotdog...does it really matter, it's all trash.

It was a good day when we had some instant gravy to go with the plain egg noodles. The best usage was beef pieces with instant brown gravy. The yellow gravy was usually so bland it was barely a step up from butter

I participated in the Acme Monopoly game a couple years ago. All I won was 10 packs of powdered gravy, a bottle of aspirin, and a can of mushroom chunks. I gave away to a food bank.

The guy I left in charge of the pasta while I nipped to the shop when I was a student and wanted to cook the house a quick meal before going out drinking definitely hosed up pasta

I think he'd just kept stirring it, like a risotto, well past the point of doneness, to the point it had formed a coagulated slimy starchy ball of mush

I hate crispy pepperoni so much I thought I just didn't like pepperoni. Having it covered in cheese might work well for me.

When I was kid I used to order ask for linguica on my side of the pizza instead of pepperoni and it worked much better.
