Thick cut chips with a layer of cheese, a layer of kebab meat and then topped off with garlic, chili and barbecue sauces. The Halal Snack Pack.

I wanna try that barbecue sauce!

I fuckin' love the fries from Nick the Greek.



Feta cheese, garlic, green onions, spicy yogurt, and gyro meat. :dance:

I've spoken to a few goons about Halal Snack Packs before, and said "just go to whatever place you know that serves both kebab/doner/gyro meat and fries, and describe it, and they will make you one". There's a Lebanese takeaway in Seattle that apparently has one on their menu now because a goon and their friends kept ordering it.

Those chips there look really good too, I could probably find a place that does something similar and get them to dress them up like that. I love crumbly feta on chips, it works really well.

There's a place near me that specializes in loaded fries and they have a shrimp Alfredo fries on the menu that I'm morbidly curious to try.

Ignore my posts!
I'm aggressively wrong about everything!
Can attest to the sheer quality of halal snack packs, they are amazing.

I feel like the strength of fries is that they don't pair badly with much of anything, as long as you work with the fact they're hot. You match it up with anything that's at least warm, and you've got something baseline good.

There sort of was one. I was going to bring up donair poutine, certainly a one-up to the traditional poutine when the question is "how viscerally, corpulently disgusting can we make French fries?" but someone already posted that Newfoundland insanity that's about on the same level as a donair poutine.

You can't gently caress with Canada's fry game. The UK may do deep-fried disgust better than anyone, but we're absolutely stupid good at loving you up with things on fries.

There's a small chain in my city called Banh Mi Boys that does kimchi fries. Fries with pulled pork, spicy BBQ sauce, green onions, kimchi, and I usually get mayo on top. It is insanely indulgent, like you should probably share it so you don't get your entire day's caloric intake from this one side dish, but gently caress it's so good.

Not sure if I'm reading you wrong or you're reading me wrong but I was saying the kimchi fries seem like a side, not the banh mi (or the steamed baos, which is what I usually order). Calorie-wise it is a full meal but it doesn't seem like it when scarfing them down.

It's like the chocolate chip cookie from Le Gourmand about a block away (if it's the Queen & Spadina location). Just a single cookie from there is like eating a Big Mac.

she collaborates a ton with other artists and you've got to give them songwriting credit. likewise, she writes songs for other bands. albarn should know this, he's probably just having a cranky old man moment

there's some valid avenues to criticize taylor swift, like the fact that its easier to become a young musical phenomenon if you're born to wealthy and supportive parents removing obstacles for you until you make it. but saying she doesn't write her own songs is a completely invalid criticism, she's hugely prolific as a songwriter. apparently he realized he stepped in it because he's already walked it back a lot, there was a gross miscalculation on his part of clout levels here

It was rumored that Albarn wrote Elastica's big hit "Connection" because he was dating Frischmann at the time. (Although in hind-sight it seems more likely that was started by misogynists angry at the success of an all-female band)

Nah, I really like a lot of Albarns work, but he definitely came across as a foolish old man in this.
He said Swift was not a real songwriter, because she is sometimes has co-writer, while holding Billy Eilish up as better, even though she co-writes with her brother most of the time.
Then when he was criticised, his apology was basically, " I was misquoted for clickbait!" except the literal transcript of the interview was released and he said the dumb thing he said.
He's allowed like Eilish's work more than Swift's, but his reasoning was stupid and wrong.
