A Calorie is the energy needed to raise a liter of water by one degree C, and provides a conveniently sized unit that doesn't need decimals.

What's the problem?

It's better to have one unit for energy instead of two and joule is the SI one, whereas the calorie is old and obsolete, more or less only used for food for historical reasons.

THE MOST EXPENSIVE BURGER IN THE WORLD
It's been a decade since Juicys Outlaw Grill in Oregon set the record for the world's most expensive burger with a 777-pound behemoth. Robbert Jan de Veen, the owner of Dutch diner De Daltons, thought he could do better — and with a sandwich that can be picked up with just two hands. The Golden Boy is the result. Its ingredient list reads like a who's who of rare foods from around the world, including Japanese A5 Wagyu brisket and chuck short ribs, white truffles, Beluga caviar, Paleta Iberico Bellota ham, Dom Perignon champagne in both the onion rings and saffron gold leaf bread, king crab, and BBQ sauce made using Kopi Luwak coffee and Macallan Single Malt Whisky. Described as having a complimentary but intense flavor profile, the first burger has already been sold, with the entire purchase price going to a local food bank.
Even if the ingredients all taste good together, you can't possibly get a bite that includes them all unless you unhinge your jaw like a gluttonous python.

There is actually a really cheap wal*mart brand rising crust pizza that is pretty drat good if you throw a bit of seasoning on it. Less than half the price of those guys

:hmmyes: The generic rising crust pizzas have become my kryptonite, though Red Baron isn't that much more expensive if you're a purist (maybe a buck more).

Digiornio and those artisanal branded pizzas are way too much money for something I have to make effort to prepare, though.

Safeway's rising crust triple pepperoni is amazing. The pepperoni is in three different shapes!

I feel like whatever subtle flavors that make civet coffee special would be lost in a bbq sauce.

How are digiornio/frechetta etc pizzas harder to make than a red barron? Its the exact same process for all of em.

I miss the Jack's frozen pizzas I used to get at Meijers in Michigan. There is a similar kind called Roma around here, but its even cheaper tasting and not in good way.

Right. And as people have repeatedly said, the chief strength of metric is that the melting and boiling points of water are round numbers, which means raising 1 kg of water in temperature across its entire liquid phase is a nice round 100 kcal, instead of a nonsensical 4.184 kJ.

Thus, it is clear: We should get rid of the joule.

One. One kcal raises 1 kg of water 1 degree c. Food has a lot of energy in it, turns out. A gram of butter has about 30 kJ; a gram of TNT has __4__

Nice try but a Joule is a Newton-metre (equivalent US customary unit is the foot-pounds I believe) and can be used to define 1W and 1V

They look like they've been drowned in a tasty sauce. If they are alive after that then, it stands to reason, you should eat them to gain their immense strength.

Exactly my point, but the higher-end pizzas cost double the price or higher, which is, again, "if I'm going to spend that much money, why not spend less for the same amount of effort and no appreciable change in taste". :effort:

For stuffed peppers I think you're better deconstructing them and just having the filling with a side of peppers you've grilled or sauteed, or raw as a salad if that's your kink. Stuffing doesn't actually do much except making it look like you tried, goddamn it, at least you tried.

Bell pepper stuffing is one of my dad's special occasion comfort foods. My mom makes it for him with equal parts chopped bologna and chopped frankfurters, hold the bell peppers.

Yeah the store brand 'rising crust' pizzas are just as good, if not better(like the safeway pepperoni one i mentioned before) for half the price. 8$+ you might as well take home a papa murphys or something.

Digiorno used to have deep dish pizzas like 15 or 20 years ago but they cost 8 or 9 bucks and took at least an hour to cook so they didn't sell well but I remember liking them.

There's a significant number of dishes that involve torturing the meat while it's still alive, and while that's not the only type of food I have an ethical dislike for, I can't think of anything more distasteful at the moment.

The one that sticks with me is an Asian dish involving a block of tofu and a large number of small fish. The tofu and the fish are put into a pot that's slowly brought to a boil. The fish burrow into the tofu to escape the heat, and once everything is cooked, you slice the tofu.
