I do not like gin. I do like a gin and tonic. This second fact does not change the first one.

Ohtori Akio posted:If you'd review my posts above, you may note my distaste for using espresso in a drink made just as effectively with instant coffee. Instant coffee is very cheap and efficient; espresso, on the other hand, is labor-intensive and expensive. Because instant coffee is disgusting even if you put some milk in it? Honestly I highly prefer espresso even though I splash some milk and sugar in it and throw it on ice in the summer. Where are you somewhere in europe or something? I feel like no one in the US even drinks instant coffee unless they are camping or find it in a cupboard at work. I think I have had that poo poo maybe 5 times in my life it's terrible.

Coffee should taste like coffee and anything you add to it, milk or sugar or nutmeg or whatever just makes it taste gross.

I don't like hot drinks. I don't really understand folks that do, but i hope you all have fun with them! Ohtori Akio posted:You know what? I've never done the affogato. Technically that's a shot pulled over the ice cream so I'd be in the clear by my own standards. I'll give it a whirl. It's really nice, she had it at a pub on Saturday and highly recommended it. Not my sort of thing, but nice!

Was at a hibachi joint once and this meathead dude ordered steak and he said he wanted it “raw” to which the staff laughed. When the meats came out the dude wanted the steak raw. The staff explained they couldn’t give it to him, he caused a scene, then got the raw meat. And ate it with his hands while everyone pretended not to stare.

People who don't have a lot going for them tend to assign social value to arbitrary things, mostly the things they consume If you fall off the bottom of one scale you can just make another. No I have not accomplished anything of note, but take a look at how bitter the drink I consume in the morning is and I think you'll be impressed

That's awesome, where do you like to go to get one" etc.) even if they prefer it a certain way. This is the same for steak or Warhammer or booze or whatever

It's 90F with rain and humidity today. It's miserable. The summer likers are broken and should be sent to re-education centres. The best climate is something like a seasonal variant from -25 winter to 15C summer.

Honestly I highly prefer espresso even though I splash some milk and sugar in it and throw it on ice in the summer. Here's a distinct PHUO: instant coffee is better than anything that comes out of a starbucks espresso machine. If you must sbux (I do somewhat often for their bathrooms), you're much better served with the cold brew - an appropriate use of severely over-roasted beans. I am an American. JollyBoyJohn posted:theres a lot of times i enjoy it, a lot i'm thinking "i wish this was over", on balance it feels more like an addiction than anything else I had a similar thought, albeit around 1200 hours. I quit for good. It's been a positive change.

Cafe Legal instant coffee is really good but you have to use like twice the recommended amount and put a dash of salt in as well

silence_kit posted:It’s a common food snob opinion. Sweet foods are low class. Nah it's not a low class thing. A lot of American food is over sweet, and sometimes im down for thay. My personal preference though is enjoying the flavor of the different ingredients be it chocolate or fruit, as opposed to having my sweet receptors blown out from an extra cup of white sugar. A little goes a long way!

It's one of those can you believe how dumb everyone is in America things people love to say, obvious connotation being they are one the good ones. One of the worldly ones. They even went to Cancún once so they know that abuelita selling tamales door-to-door is doing mexican food wrong. Like seriously, post me a US cake recipe and a french cake recipe where the US one is just ludicrously oversweetened for no reason except the idiot tastes of the fat masses of the bad place. It's like how people will be all "you can't believe it if you aren't murrican, but you can't even find bread that isn't sweetened." Yes, you can. You can find it at walmart for the same price as most of the other one-tier-up sliced processed packaged bread options in the deep fuckin south. Are you stupid or lying??

Again, all personal preference. We do have a bunch of extra poo poo in our food though, don't we, HFCS wise? Unless that's an old wives' tale?

I'm not sure why it is so difficult to believe that someone could sincerely prefer their dessert items to be mildly sweet rather than glazed. There's an extremely broad range of sweetnesses you can make a dish, and regional preferences are totally real here. Try a French bakery some time, that sugar level is pretty good I think. Or, if you bake, try making scones but with no sugar topping - just the fruit inclusions and a little dough sugar for sweetness. It's a lot better I feel, but it does spoil more quickly. Maybe that's why sugar toppings are so popular in American baked goods; logistics concerns.silence_kit posted:Yeah. They also don’t like corn because it is the low class grain in America. Elaborate, are you talking about sweet corn or normal corn? Because normal corn, nixtamalized and used in a dish, is delicious. Tamales are world-class. Sweet corn is bizarre to me. Maybe this is a distinct phuo, maybe it's the same.

I would imagine there is in fact a lot more HFCS in American sweets and soda than in other places This is due to the US having socialized corn I'm not even kidding about that either

But to put the blame on seventy years of the monstrous reign of the family of Kim Il-Sung on the US is to rob the North Korean regime of their agency. They didn’t have to invade. They didn’t have to maintain their deathgrip on society. Their survival is not predicated on the continuance on one of the worst regimes on the planet, if anything it’s a direct hindrance. Nobody said that thing youre arguing against, man

Food snobbery is just being a picky eater in reverse, with a little dash of classism thrown in. Humans wouldn't have survived as long as we have as a species if everything you consumed caused you to wretch and gag like people love to portray online. Oh my god mayo, not eggs oil and some salt anything but that lol. I'm a mega foodie and I'll eat everything from some froo-froo artisanal whatever to the humble pop-tart. We've evolved to enjoy pretty much anything we can stuff down our collective gullets, and to pretend that your palette is simply too refined, too delicate to enjoy some good-rear end Chef Boyardee Beef Ravioli from time to time impresses nobody.

I dunno man, the croissant with some jam in it I get is usually pretty good. Maybe there's stuff there that's too sweet, and I have simply gravitated away from it. I'd like it a lot if every American coffeeshop had the equivalent of "croissant with a little jam in the middle".
