You could definitely tell it was a Midwest dish because it was bland af So it's basically just hamburger helper sans the salty as gently caress flavor packet?

Also actual Loco Moco is the best poo poo ever. It's Hawaiian food so naturally it looks like some kind of horrifying food they'd serve in a cafeteria in a Disney Channel show, but like other Hawaiian food of its type it tastes like heaven.

Although my friend claims he got one that had some caesar salad in it once which seems possible if not very unlikely.

The Blue Pyramid posted:During last year's Christmas my brother brought a brick of Velveeta that he got through couponing. He tried to make a queso dip by melting it with some canned salsa added. It was almost "passable" as a queso substitute if not for the fact that it congealed and solidified every 20 seconds. This is the world famous Rotel queso dip! It's a staple of small town american pot lucks. I have a soft spot in my heart for it, but it's pretty foul.

Zanael posted:Chips with a little mustard is indeed awesome, too bad that guy isn't doing it, since that orange paste is definately NOT mustard. It's probably a sweet hot or spicy mustard. Those tend to be more orange (to denote they have been mixed with red hot sauce I guess?). I have a bottle of Beaver Sriracha Mustard and one of Inglehoffer Sweet Hot in my fridge right now and they are about that color.

The purple is probably sauerkraut and due to the presence of what appears to be chopped up liver sausage and pickles I'm going to guess it's either slavic or from the American rust belt. It sort of bares slight resemblance to a Tramezzino, but without all the things that make those good.

Throatwarbler posted:Asian countries have their own bread-like staple foods which are not sweet at all. They also have a specific genre of food called "what people in Asia think Americans eat". If you only shop/eat at places that cater to expats/sex tourists guess which one you are going to encounter? Yeah but seriously bread in Japan is loving awful. They have this whole type of bread called pan that's everywhere and really sweet, usually deep fried. I'd almost say it's more along the lines of a pastry than a bread but people there treat it like bread.

Antifreeze Head posted:I don't really get why you would make them at home, but they are a staple of what's served at the canteen at small-town community gatherings where I come from. It's all the same ingredients and you don't have the added trash/expense of a plate. I don't really see a downside. The walking taco is a pretty popular street food in actual Mexico but they have a different name for it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tostilocos I've always been more of a fan of the "frito boat" kind that is more like a Frito pie and is chili/onions/cheese/etc in a bag of Fritos. My Uncle used to eat at a place near his work that made the Dorilocos variant with flamin' hot cheetos which I imagine is just straight up murder on your butthole.

Minarchist posted:What's the deal with people just dumping corn on a plate? It's a weird abstracted American thing. Basically a long held core dish of stereotypical American cooking (read: Midwestern Cooking) has been corn with butter, salt and pepper. Sometimes you have variants with Cayenne, Johnny salt, old bay, etc. But then when you get people who are like "we need to make all this poo poo healthy but I can't learn new or interesting meals to make" so you end up with literally just corn on a plate because  . At least by the geometric shape of those kernels I'm pretty sure it's fresh corn thats been cut from a real corn cob, which is really just how you ruin a good corn on the cob but each to their own.

Government cheese also varies greatly on your location. The food bank I go to sometimes usually just has normal good cheese that just isn't as visually appealing as normal cheese so it can't be sold in stores in cute little blocks.

Tree Goat posted:The original reddit thread it came from was pretty good too, it was on the order of "my girlfriend just left me but I don't care, I'm browsing reddit like a sir" but when I reverse GIS I just get pictures of TV dinners. This is depressing. If your girl leaves you the last thing you need to do is eat along by your computer. You need to go to show, get out at 2AM and convince the guy at the local 24 hour taco shop to make you a breakfast burrito because "It's technically morning". Not speaking from experience or anything. That taco shop is amazing. One time my friend got the guy to make him carne asada fries with fried fish instead of asada in order to win a bet that he couldn't get fish and chips after midnight in our city.

pentyne posted:Is there any good version of bologna? I assume the original Italian variety is the best, but it seems like the term is a catch all for horrifically cheap sliced meat. I bought a cheap pack of cotto salami made by Kraft and on the front it says "Made from chicken, beef, and pork" and in the ingredients label is says "chicken, beef hearts, pork" so technically yes, its made with beef. Lebanon Bologna is the poo poo. Tastes a lot like summer sausage. Boar's Head isn't too bad either.

SLOSifl posted:I went to a Subway in Columbus, Ohio during a cross country drive. My friend and I still bring that place up ten years later. The reason we remember it is because the dude working there made loving perfect sandwiches. We got back to the hotel room and opened our sandwiches, and both just stopped and said "holy poo poo". They looked exactly like a promotional picture, even after being wrapped up. At the Subway near my house there is this methy Kid Rock looking dude who has been working there for at least 15 years. He's denied being made a manager or anything else because he's THAT GOOD AT MAKING SUBWAY SANDWICHES. The man is a loving machine, and he's worked there long enough that you can go in and describe ancient promotional subs from years past and he'll make them for you, he also knows all the weird sauce and sandwich combos, like sweet onion and spicy southwest sauce on the Italian, tastes amazing.

PCOS Bill posted:No rules! This makes me sadder than most of the poo poo in this thread. Because you know the person who made it thinks its a good appetizer plate even though it's just a mass of generic as gently caress salami, canned olives and brie. Even the Brits get it better because at least they gave us Huntsman cheese. Maybe it's because I grew up in an Italian family, and in Italian culture there is a huge amount of importance placed on the appetizer/antipasto plates. Mainly because most Italian food is made of cheap stuff (Lasagna, Manicotti, etc are mostly sauce/pasta/cheese) so the way you show off to your guests/neighbors is how many kinds of cured meats you can slam on a plate.

My favorite weird Japanese thing about their perception of America is they have a popular brand of curry sauce cubes (it's a compressed brick of curry and oil that melts into sauce when mixed with ingredients in a pan and is shelf stable) called Vermont Curry. Because when I think of Curry what immediately comes to mind is the state of Vermont. I mean I guess its apple flavored curry which is a little bit Vermontish but not really.

Before all the preppers started hoarding them and the price shot up we used to buy MRE's for backpacking a lot. The eastern European (Poland, Estonia, etc) and Korean ones are usually the best. For the American ones the best ones are usually the Mexican ones because they are made up of stuff that freeze dries well (beans, rice, tomato sauce, etc).

subpar anachronism posted:Malt liquor pretending to be beer and no mention of THE KING? I don't think it even comes in containers smaller than forties, and is in the same price range as Steel Reserve/Colt 45/etc. Steelies and OE are available in small containers now because so many big cities have liquor exclusion zones now. In downtown Portland (OR) for instance you cant sell anything above a certain % and also you can't sell single containers above 13oz. It worked for a while and got the hobos to wander elsewhere, but the hipsters got mad and so now you can find Steel Reserve in normal beer bottles and OE/Mickeys in those plastic screwtop juice bottle looking ones. It's super duper classist as well because there are tons of places where you can buy all those 16oz bottles of "nice" beer and those places never get busted or hassled by the OLCC but anywhere that tries to sell a tall boy or a 40 is going to have dudes writing them up within the week. I started drinking right when Sparks and FourLoco were the big thing. I used to drink 40's and Hobo wine type stuff but I've honestly had a lot of all those ultra lovely caffeinated alchopops. They all taste like poison but 4L is definitely the worst. Would rather drink mad dog. Actually that reminds me of the Buddy, IDK when this got started but it was a thing for a while. It's a 50/50 mix of the blue MD 20/20 and Mountain Dew. It was the classy upgrade from what we used to call the "freshman mojito" which was where you drank down like 25% of a sprite/sierra mist and then emptied an entire bottle of alcoholic mint extract into the bottle.
