Iron Crowned posted:SO, then Domino's and Little Caesar's? They don't do square cut. I guess maybe you could request it? Of course if you're ordering either of those you aren't really in a position to be picky about pizza.

Any form of cut pizza is a crime, because if it's cut when it arrives you can't reheat it in the oven without getting a pan greasy.

Tumblr of scotch posted:I know Donato's here in Indiana does square cut pizza unless you specifically ask for pie cut slices (and sometimes even then), do they not do that over in Ohio? I'd have to think so, it'd be weird for them not to offer an option in their home state that they default to elsewhere, but who knows. I don't remember the last time I saw a Donato's so dunno. Iron Crowned posted:What I am saying is that those places are the only places I've not seen square cut down here in Cincinnati. Maybe Cincinnati is weird then. In Dayton the only place I ever regularly got a square cut pizza was Marion's.

The place we order from in upstate New York does wedge cuts, unless you order extra-large. That one gets square cut by default.

Marco's doesn't do that, at least not in NE Ohio (Cleveland + suburbs, Akron/Canton, and so on). Only the huge party pizzas would be square-cut by default. Maybe it's a southern Ohio thing?Also, lol if u don't cut you're pizza in concentric circles just lmao

Grand Fromage posted:I don't remember the last time I saw a Donato's so dunno. Cincinnati is weird. Born and bred in SW Ohio (Dayton specifically), I would have to agree that Marion's and Cassano's were the only two that I remember that were square cut. Cassano's used to be good, and then Marion's became Cassano's quality-wise. If you ever get over to the wonderful "city in a corn maze" that is Van Wert, there's a place called Klosterman's that will take both Cassano's and Marion's downtown and give them a good curb stomping. Cassano's is selling frozen pizzas now? Anyone try one? Is it crap? I'm in Cleveland now, and everything here is pie-like, and not really too good. I miss Noble Roman's deep dish Sicilian. In TYOOL 2016 Totino's pizza is now square so it fits in a toaster oven pan forcing a square cut. What hath God wrought? /end pizza chat

Iron Crowned posted:What the hell was wrong with pizza in the 50's? It was brand new to a lot of people. Pizza had only hit the United States around the 1900s and 1910s, and exclusively in Italian immigrant communities. American soldiers returning from service in Italy in WW2 are credited with introducing a taste for pizza to a wider audience, so in the 1950s it was a weird ethnic food with strong tastes that was starting to become popular. When your diet consists of aspics and bland meat and potatoes dishes and you won't put detectable spices in anything but cakes, a tomato and mozzarella pie covered in anchovies and spicy sausage is going to flip your poo poo.

Grand Fromage posted:Maybe Cincinnati is weird then. In Dayton the only place I ever regularly got a square cut pizza was Marion's. Ok, so, my two cents as a Cincinnati resident. The only place I can think of that square-cuts round pizzas is Donatos, where they will wedge-cut them if you ask them to. I live in a neighborhood with a welter of pizza places, mom-and-pop, local and national chain, and the only other pizzas I can think of that get cut in squares are rectangular or square pizzas, where that's the way it makes sense to cut them. And my vote is "who cares?" Pizza is pizza is pizza.

bike tory posted:This is from a few pages back now but w/e There are at least a few milk vending machines around Kobe, saw one in the basement of San Center the other day. Also a lot of the burbs still do milk delivery. You see the trucks with their pallets of bottles in Suzurandai and Minotami. Out where I live there's a single guy who goes door to door, even in the big apartment complexes, selling milk. I dunno if he's just one lonely employee of a larger company or if he does his business for himself but he does sometimes come around and offer to sell up some milk that's a couple days away from going off for like third price, and it's pretty drat good dairy, too.

bike tory posted:I've never seen milk in glass bottles here ever, or a milk vending machine. Whay city do you live in?  You can still get milk delivered: http://www.meiji.co.jp/takuhaimeiji/commodity/ (among other dairy companies offering the same service) Also various types of yogurt/yogurt drinks and some healthy treats like a V-8ish vegetable drink and prune juice. Personally, I'd love to have bottles of coffee milk delivered daily. Here, have some anti-food porn of a milk-based Hong Kong dessert:  I'm almost positive it tastes great (though I'm not big on grass jelly), but the presentation leaves something to be desired.

That looks like someone on a high protein low carb diet hit up the Golden Corral salad bar. Eggs, ham, and some broccoli peeking out because for whatever reason broccoli is the go to "well I need to eat something green" vegetable.

ACES CURE PLANES posted:I mean, that ramen sandwich looks like poo poo but it doesn't look like poo poo. Trip Report: Ramenwich Taste Test (or "Victory, But At What Cost?") Today, I'm preparing a Ramenwich.  I've chosen Shin Ramyun ramen, mainly because--against all odds--the gas station up the street didn't have any Maruchan on the shelves, obviously preferring to stock the good stuff. Only the best ramen for their customers, I guess. The ingredients are
That last ingredient was locally-sourced and, in fact, homegrown right in my kitchen as I realized we had some fresh leeks left over from dinner last night, and we had lean pork, eggs, mushrooms, oyster sauce, and pretty much everything else I needed to make a killer ramen bowl for breakfast. Instead, I put it on some bread! (Sara Lee 100% Whole Wheat or get out)  The paper plate, I feel, really accentuates the mood of this dish.  Results: Well, it wasn't terrible. I think the worst part was how messy it was to eat. With some seasonings on the noodles, and with the bread toasted, this would be a passable "I'm too drunk to go to the store, and all I have is ramen and bread" meal. I give it two and a half ramen bowls out of five. The potential is there, but it's just not being realized with this recipe.  BONUS Here's a sample from my next novel, On the Trail of the Ramen Banditos

I'm still not sold on bubble tea; something about the thwock of the tapioca getting sucked up the straw sets off I absolutely can't handle drinks with something slimy in them. Juice with pulp or aloe vera gel, bubble tea, etc. It feels like I'm consuming something that's not supposed to be in my beverage.
