I don't get the controversy over mayo vs. butter. One is a suspension of egg yolks in fat, the other is a suspension of milk solids in fat. Both sides are doing the same thing, smearing a flavored fat on their sandwich.

I have to ask, is this the same sugary tomato glop we call ketchup, or is it actual somewhat tart tomato-and-nothing-else sauce that resembles what we call tomato sauce, or is it something else entirely?

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. Mortadella is pretty good stuff.

I just stumbled across all four of the new Lays chip flavors while on break, and decided to taste test them instead of working. Photos and commentary later, when I'm not phone posting, but in brief: greektown gyro = beef ramen noodle.

Okay, so on my lunch break, I found a display with all of the new Lays flavors. So I grabbed one of each, plus a friend and her twelve year old son, and wasted an hour taste testing that I should have been working. Oh yeah. First up: New York Reuben:  To me, it tasted beefy, but lacking in the proper nitrate taste of corned beef. Definite notes of ketchup and pickle relish, with an unpleasant sourness that must have been an attempt at sauerkraut. Yeasty finish. My friend stated that the yeasty rye-ness they were going for was unpleasant and overwhelming, and that the chip was overall far too heavily flavored. Her son said it tasted like an overdone sandwich. On a 1-10 scale: me, 4, her, 2, her son, 3. Next: Greektown Gyro:  It straight up tastes of beef ramen noodles, and not even the good ones, but the cheap off-brands you buy at the Dollar Store. Both she and her son agreed, with her also noting an aftertaste of sour cream. None of us cared for it at all. Me, 1, her, 1, her son, 2. Next: Southern Biscuits and Gravy:  She was the most excited for this one, having heard rave reviews. It certainly smells just like biscuits and gravy. She said that there was a strong sage taste, like cheap breakfast sausage, and a slight creamy gravy note, and that it wasn't bad but not as good as she had hoped. I noted the creamy sweetness of properly made sawmill gravy, muted tones of sage but no meatiness, and all of it basically overwhelmed by the taste of potato. Her son gave no comment, but immediately devoured the rest of the bag. Me, 3, her, 6, her son an obvious 10. Last: West Coast Truffle Fries:  Right off the bat, it smelled like sour cream and onion. The flavors of SC&O were muted to me, but there was a definite earthy, mushroomy flavor that I can only assume was truffle (having never tasted a truffle myself). She noted the earthiness as well, but said that the SC&O flavor was strong as well. She also said that she was leery of it before, but having tasted it she could see herself eating an entire bag. Her son stated that it was just a chip to him. Me, 5, her, 9, her son, 3 So, overall, she liked the truffle fries, her son loved the biscuits and gravy, and I was overall sadly disappointed with all of them. Now, on another note, my favorite part of this taste test:  Full Throttle Blue Demon. The energy drink from Coca-Cola set up as the rival to Mt. Dew Amp. I've drank these for years, ever since they first came out. Of a special note, it's missing that energy drink aftertaste, what I call "Flintstones Vitamins Taste", that other energy drinks have. Since it doesn't include guarana in it's formulation, I'm assuming that the Flintstones Vitamins taste is from that. That aftertaste turns me off of any other energy drink. It's very sweet, with an almost floral nose, and a decided cactus taste. Refreshing. If they would cut the caffeine, bottle it, and sell it at the price point of other sodas, it would easily be my absolute favorite soda. Highly recommended.

My go-to night shift solution was to slam a Full Throttle as soon as I clocked in, a Five Hour Energy chased with another Full Throttle at 2 am or so, and one more Full Throttle chasing four ibuprofen at 5 am. This plus two liters or so of Dr. Pepper throughout the night. e. And if we were out of Full Throttle, then Monsters as fast as I could chug them, doing my best not to taste them.

5-hour energy flavor review: Grape: the saddest, worst grape. Like eating a fake grape from a plastic floral decoration. Berry: Worse than grape. Far, far worse. Like someone once described a strawberry to a cannibal. Pink Lemonaide: Lemony, but with a pink urinal puck aftertaste. Lemon-Lime: Lemon Pledge. Tolerable, if only just. Sour Apple: neither sour nor apple, but you can believe the flavor did indeed come from some sort of tree Fruit Punch: Red Kool-Aid, thinned with bleach. Orange: Not bad. Actual orange, not artificial orange. Pomegranate:  All accompanied by the burning chemical flavor of aspartame, in doses that came full-circle back from cancer-giving, becoming chemotherapy from the wrong direction.

Add some refried beans or elotes, toast that tortilla, and for fucks sake learn how color balance works, and that's a legit plate of carnitas. Seriously, 90% of everything wrong in this thread is the photographer not knowing a loving thing about basic post-processing. (The other 10%, well, that's why I come to this thread.) e.  That was 30 seconds worth of work, and now it actually looks edible. rndmnmbr has a new favorite as of 04:30 on Aug 31, 2015 |

And when I opened the seal on the green chile and bean burrito with "New Fresh Flavor!", the voice of the fourth beast did say "Come and see!" And I looked, and beheld a white tortilla, and he who sat on the tortilla was named Gastrointestinal Discomfort, and diarrhea followed after. And power was given unto it over the fourth part of my bowels, to kill with flatulence, and gall-bladder discomfort, and anal leakage, and fire from my hole. And lo, there was thunder made upon my throne, and a earthquake followed, and a third of the bowl became browned as a sackcloth of hair, and my anus leaked blood.

Speaking of Subway, I like to get a double meat cheese steak footlong, and the only veggies I put on it is onion, bell pepper and banana pepper. Usually, I tell the person making the sandwich to give me lots of all three, which gets me a light sprinkling of veggies. But once, when I had a "sandwich artist' who had completely ran out of fucks to give that day, I got a massive load of veggies, more veggies than meat on that sandwich (and being that it was a double-meat cheese steak, holy gently caress!). It was glorious.

VendaGoat posted:Foam is not a food. It can be on my beer, used to shave with or to put out a fire, But it is never to be considered a food.  Angel food cake is literally a baked egg foam. Also, tacos drat well do have rules. If it's in a tortilla that's not completely wrapped around the filling, then it's a taco. If the tortilla is completely wrapped around the filling, then it's a burrito. If it's not a tortilla, then it's a sandwich. As for the contents, on the other hand, go hog wild.

Speaking of ranch dressing, in high school the cafeteria had really fantastic homemade rolls, and we would rip a hole in them, toss in a heaping spoonful of bacon bits, and pump a couple of squirts of ranch dressing too. Sometimes I get cravings for one of those horrors, but it's just not the same unless you're using the most artificial soy-flour based bacon bits and the cheapest institutional ranch dressing you can buy.

Pomp posted:My dad was a decent cook considering our budget, but he has no concept of getting what you pay for so much the only thing I could qualify as "good" was stir fried chicken. For some reason him and grandma thought microwaved meat loaf was a good idea, and it put me off the stuff the better part of two decades. There are three things I will never be able to eat again: Mac and Cheese and tuna, Stroganoff Hamburger Helper, and the laziest spaghetti ever (boil noodles until mushy, drain, add an unheated can of the cheapest marinara sauce, stir, serve with plain white bread).

If you want your beer in colored cardboard with marketing material and sales prices attached, then the biggest package is a 20-pack of longnecks or a 30-pack of cans. Some places still sell an entire case of bottles, but then what you're getting is a brown cardboard box of four 6-packs with no pretty packaging.
