A polish guy I used to work with made Guinness vodka and it was extremely delicious.

Smirnoff is not the cheapest but pretty cheap and it's neutral as hell. It's made from "grain." Tito's is a bit more expensive and slightly better, also super neutral. Made from corn. The only high end one I like is Circoc, made from grapes. Has a good taste. You generally want to avoid the flavored ones, cause you can just infuse your own flavors if you're into that with far less risk of it tasting like poo poo and giving you a terrible hangover. I used to drink about a gallon of vodka a day, so I know my vodkas. This advice only applies to the US, I dunno the Russian vodka scene or whatever.

Vodka and other spirits often have a filtration stage using activated charcoal, maybe the Russian producers switched to an inferior standard of charcoal?

FreudianSlippers posted:Are there really tiers in vodka? Yes. There's a wide variety of quality, plus the idea in the US (I presume elsewhere too) that vodka should be flavorless is not true in eastern Europe. I once had vodka made by a Polish guy's grandpa that was one of the best liquors I've ever had in my life. Flavorless and neutral it was not.

I developed a strong taste for hazelnut vodka when I visited a friend in Warsaw for New Years while I was in university, that stuff ruled.

Richard Nixon's Ham Mousse quote:It's a Pat and Richard Nixon favorite from before his presidential days and I have to say, this is definitely one of the roughest things I've ever eaten. Slimy, meaty Cool Whip. Wow. I thought it'd be French-tasting at best, bland at worst but no. No thank you. I am not a cook!

There's no way that Dick Milhouse concocted and ate this culinary abomination just to spite Jewish people everywhere but that is still easier for me to believe than that he actually liked it.

I kinda missed vodka talk but speaking personally as someone who at least used to drink vodka of a bunch of different tiers, if you're drinking it straight you can definitely notice the difference between the 'tiers' so to speak, pretty much as soon as it hits your mouth. I feel like the best way of putting is like, when you start to catch a bit of the burn of the alcohol. In a high end one, it'll basically be like water super early in the sip and then the taste and alcohol comes through on a pretty long tail, cheaper ones you'll get it right up front full force. Personally though, I actually really like the particular burn of the really dirt bottom varieties. Can't say I'd suggest it to anyone else but there's something to it I love.

It's not free though. The government pays for the cook, but you still have to pay for all your own food. State dinners are covered, but family dinners are not.

Zero_Grade posted:That sounds loving amazing. It was soooo good. It was at work, so I only got 1 shot but as I remember it, it was as strong as any vodka, noticeably sweet and had a real taste of Guinness. I think he brought it in to celebrate a Polish national holiday, and he also brought in homemade pickled herrings, which were also delicious. Unfortunately i have no idea how he made the Guinness vodka Edit: I just googled it, and there is basically nothing out there. From the taste I remember, I can only assume he made a reduction syrup out of sugar and Guinness, and mixed it with vodka. I'm guessing it was done very gently and slowly, because the Guinness flavour was still pretty strong, and long cooking tends to flatten the taste of Guinness.

I've always thought Nixon was the most personally fascinating president, and the fact that his personal tastes when all the cameras were off were just bizarre really enhances that. Most of what I've heard about other presidents is fairly boilerplate, from the refined, fancy, or healthy palettes to the simple slobs. Also the ones being performatively humble with their tastes, like Ronald Reagan's hamburger soup. Nixon just liked what he liked. Facebook Aunt posted:It's not free though. The government pays for the cook, but you still have to pay for all your own food. State dinners are covered, but family dinners are not. Of course, if the government is shut down, then it's also on the president's dime (or on the dime of one of his subordinates who can be bullied into it), which was the reason for the famous Trump fast food feast. He didn't want to pay to reopen the WhiteHouse kitchen. I remember there was an episode on Yes Minister with a b-plot about the PM being unable to find a place to get free lunch in his office, which apparently modern day Britain still similarly insists that the PM pay for his own food. Although I have my doubts on how thorough the accounting on making the head executive pay their own way goes. Poking around a little, and there's a whole thing about Canada's prime minister reimbursing the government for food expenses at a different rate to how much it actually cost. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/justin-trudeau-grocery-bill-inflation-canada-b2207785.html

Like the shower with the super-powerful butthole blaster. So this isn't a complete derail: LBJ food preferences posted:Guests at the LBJ Ranch were often served: Deer sausage (very spicy), eggs, toast (made from homemade, freshly baked bread), and peach preserves. I also get nostalgic for poo poo-on-a-shingle "from Navy days" WTF is rat cheese?

As a seasoned drunkard I feel like gin and whisky and rum all have major differences between brands and regions and therefore could all be easily divided into various tiers. Every vodka I've ever had is half a step above hand sanitizer and only good for mixing into something non alcoholic to make it alcoholic.

I don't know which burger chain you think is the worst, but reportedly Trump's favorite burger that he ate regularly was some $30-$40 overcooked abomination at a Trump Tower restaurant, which is kind of the worst of both worlds.
