Sports in the 1900s were very different. People thought running/weight lifting was bad for you. People took strychnine to enhance performance. Some of the best ball players got drunk every time before playing. So yeah, I could see some pickled peppers or chocolate bars getting touted as performance enhancers.

In the defense of that one guy I don't think the consumption of rat poison and brandy was willing, but under severe duress by those same bugfuck idiotic coaches that would in more modern times insist he chug a bottle of essential oils.

I go to a restaurant just like that. When COVID hit suddenly half the place was clear plastic. They'd make you put your payment into a plastic lidded bin in a plexiglass window, and put your takeout into a sliding chute for you to retrieve.

Are Japanese storebought sandwiches made with sickeningly sweet bread? That's what puts me off the ones in American grocery stores.

It's shrimp chopped up and made into a patty then fried.

If you think American bread is sweet then Japanese is in another category.

I imagine it's shrimp diced up and formed into a cutlet shape of a pork katsu style cutlet/patty and fried like a crab cake. Like how there are 'shrimp burgers' and all too, probably pretty nice. It's almost certainly the super sweet milk bread though yea.

I hate it when I go to a restaurant and my spouse says "It's our first time here." That signals to the waiter that you've never been to a restaurant, you don't know what a restaurant is, and you want someone to read you the menu and teach you how to order food in a restaurant. Old people love that poo poo but I hate it. I can read

A lot of places ask now “Is this your first time with us” and yeah it’s dumb as hell, but I’m sure there’s some markety reason behind it like “increases engagement”.

Sometimes they have to teach you to use their stupid ordering iPad, or that you need to flip the circle from green to red when you're tired of waiters swinging by to drop meat on your plate.

First time I took my dad to Fogo we had a line of waiters at our table coming to marvel at this old man just devouring every bit of steak brought to the table. His little coaster thing never flipped to red lol

That would make some sense at least if there’s a specific process. I’m talking about standard rear end restaurants that operate like any other but I guess they have to now, in the same way they have to explain and verify the requested steak doneness three times.

but also the worst, because it’s loving disgusting, blech

the “frosting” part has the consistency of playdough. it’s almost like if you took greek yogurt and put it in a food dehydrator.

kind of…dairy jerky

i'll still buy one if i ever see one in the wild because i want to experience disappointment
