It's not every restaurant, but I'm sure that somewhere like Olive Garden isn't exactly auditing their suppliers that closely.

I imagine somewhere like Olive Garden would be scrupulous about sourcing their supplies because if it came out that their calamari was actually reclaimed pork parts it would cause a storm of outrage and bad PR that would take years to overcome.

The local greasy spoon or fish n chip shop on the other hand, would be much more likely to buy a box of 'kalamari style food rings' if the price was right because even if their customers found out who cares?

It's gelato topped with candied popcorn/nuts and what I think is a toasted marshmallow, then wrapped in a shitload of fairy floss.

Because gently caress your teeth, that's why.

You know when you go to the carnival or state fair once a year it's okay to have one of these monstrosities and some deep fried butter to go with it. As long as you're not eating this sort of stuff every day I really don't see what the big deal is. It's food as novelty and ironic excess, it's not meant to be a thing you eat more than once.

I remember that the strongest about the double down. It was boring and pretty tasteless and just a pile of meat but gently caress was it annoying to actually eat.

KFC in Australia has only briefly sold the double down a couple of times since first releasing it but each time I've had one and it's been pretty much the best fast food ever. Maybe I'm the real raccoon in this thread because I don't understand all the hate people have towards the double down.

Okay goons, I was at the supermarket and found some local Australian garbage food for you all to enjoy:



KFC Zinger-flavoured chips! These are actually pretty tasty. They have a hint of chilli powder and a decent crunch and are a decent facsimile of eating the crunchy bits of batter off a zinger burger. 10/10 would buy and eat a whole bag while stoned again.




Hot Diggity Dog! Hot dog flavoured chips.



These were pretty disappointing because they taste exactly like a hot dog with ketchup and mustard but are also cloyingly sweet for some reason? And it turns out no one wants to eat a whole bag of hot dog-flavoured chips. 2/10 would buy to take to a party as a novelty flavour.

And some bonus content:


#wifelife



edit - there were also cheeseburger flavoured Pringles at the supermarket which I've had before and they taste amazing with a strong pickle flavour and a slight cheesiness but I didn't buy them today because I know I would eat the whole drat can if I did.

The cabbage soup I made for dinner last night probably counts as anti-food porn. The stuff tasted fine, but it just looked so grey and lifeless.



I make a lot of boring looking food (rice and beans, curries, stews) and garnishing your food with some chopped spring onion / scallions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds / poppy seeds / furikake is a super easy way to make it look less terrible.

Falafel is dry, inedible garbage. When I say this people inevitably tell me I must not have had good falafel, because "it shouldn't be dry", but I've eaten the same falafel they claim is good and it is always dry. I need a glass of water to choke it down.

That capsicum is clearly laughing.

Looks too dark to be cheddar to me, but I guess that might be the lighting?


From the "what did you cook last night" thread:




Freshly cooked felafel is awesome but prepackaged stuff or felafel that's been cooked and left out for ages is basically inedible.

Also, that's a drat good looking pizza. Definitely would.

I swore off non-stick when I learned that at high temperatures the fumes from it can kill small birds.

You know that Teflon coating doesn't start to degrade until it is heated to over 500° Fahrenheit and only creates fumes noxious enough to affect humans at temperatures over 650° Fahrenheit? It's pretty easy to cook with non stick pans without killing yourself or your pets.

I'm phone-posting and that looks like loose corn and mouse turds. Can anyone confirm / deny?

Also rabbit tastes good but it's a pain to prep for the amount of meat you get. The easiest thing to do is make a stew or casserole if you want to try it out.
