I've lived in Minnesota my entire live and have eaten more hotdish than you could possibly imagine. Not once have I ever heard of a hotdish with chipped beef in it.


Much like the infamous "grape salad", nobody in Minnesota eats jello and mayo "salad".

A lifetime of being told that one is vermin and the other is food.

Yes, logically insects are a great source of protein and have other things going for them as a food stuff, but (in the US at least) people are taught from a very young age that bugs are not food. People in this thread acting weirded out that a group of people who have been taught that "bugs!=food" dont find bugs appealing are either being intentionally dense or are genuinely stupid.

That's also the reason why when I was overseas I'd just order whatever looked good without trying to get a translation. I've eaten and enjoyed things that I never would have eaten if I had known what was in it.

The recipe is like the exact opposite of Wanda's macaroni salad, but the results are no less tragic: raw, salt free, nut free, vegan pad thai. Stay to the end, feel your incredulity rise with each passing minute.

I would believe it. There's an attention to quality and detail in Japanese consumer-facing products that borders on obsessive. A lot of places will just refuse to sell stuff that doesn't come out absolutely perfect or they will deeply discount even for small defects. I was once at a shop where there were these very nice boxes made of laminated paper, and a customer literally found a single small imperfection on the underside of the lid of the box and was able to get 20% off. I buy vegetables in Japan without bothering to check them like I would in America because I know that the lowest quality tomato I purchase from a Japanese supermarket is going to be better than the average tomato in an American supermarket.

What this means for Japanese bakeries is that they're probably throwing away any product that's not absolutely 100% perfect. What you're left with are perfect croissants, but far fewer of them than would ever be produced in France and probably at a higher cost. The downside to this kind of attention to quality is that it's hard to sell stuff for any kind of decent money if it's ever been used at all. The expectation is that used products are basically identical to new.

I'm stationed at the base that those pictures are taken at, and I can confirm that the circle pizzas appear to be identical to the ones my high school cafeteria served.

Sometimes people don't eat things not because they're terrified, but because those things taste disgusting to them. I'm not afraid of bananas, but I still can't eat them without gagging.

Is that brand being called Four 'n Twenty an obvious reference to the Columbine massacre? Big, if true.

They offer 14 different crusts and 88 unique toppings.

Or maybe it's a reference to which would make lots of sense. There's no way whoever thought that pizza up wasn't stoned out of their skulls.

quote:

Sing a song of sixpence,
A pocket full of rye.
Four and twenty blackbirds,
Baked in a pie.
When the pie was opened,
The birds began to sing;
Wasn't that a dainty dish,
To set before the king?

The all-bread hotdog is pretty funny, but the one that looks like it's topped in two pounds of custard made me yak

I always feel a little sad that, outside of making homemade shepherd's pies and stuff like that, I've never had a proper meat pie. Someday I'll make the trip over the pond and indulge myself in all the meat pies, chip butties, and kings ribs I can handle until my heart explodes and I end up in a ditch somewhere.

Speaking of the latter, oh god, what just showed up to my place?



Oh christ no



OH JESUS. WHY IS THERE SO MUCH MUSTARD?
