Spam isn't scary, it's just incredibly bland and very salty.

Bland is never a word I've heard used to describe Spam.

I do like a bit of spam from time to time, once or twice a year. Nostalgia, mostly, but I do enjoy it. I think it is quite a strong flavor.

Really the only thing subway are scrooge about is meat, and you'll get like three paper thin slices of turkey hidden under an Easter - basket grass looking amount of lettuce

I have had bad experiences in multiple subways with olives. If I got a chicken bacon ranch or an italian sub I would ask for olives, and they would put like five slices of black olives on, essentially about one whole olive. I prefer my sandwich to be relatively homogenous and don't want each bite to be a mystery flavor adventure. Olive or no olive? Plus, especially on the chicken bacon ranch, olives were the only veggie I got other than lettuce, so it's not like I was destroying their budget or something. It just looked ridiculous anyhow, I'd have been embarrassed to do it if I worked there. I'd ask for a bit more, and get maybe three more slices and then be told I can get more but they'd charge extra.

I actually haven't had this problem in the last couple years, and I started saying stuff like "a small amount of lettuce and a lot of black olives" and I usually get a lot of black olives! yay! Maybe they changed their policy.

It's still usually a struggle to get more than one napkin, though.

You're saying that in America no one eats spaghetti with any other type of sauce? :stare:

Not really, just that one is the default type and assumed if you just say spaghetti.

That being said, other sauces are sort of culturally paired with other shapes of pasta, like clam sauce with linguini or alfredo with fettuccine.

If you were having spaghetti carbonara, you would say so, but if you just say spaghetti, the assumption is a tomato sauce.


Similarly, you can say "cheese" or "plain" pizza, or even just pizza, and the default is knowing that you mean bread with both and only tomato sauce and cheese on it. I'm sure there are similar things elsewhere.


That being said, I don't really like red sauce on my spaghetti, so I often eat it with garlic and butter or olive oil, or make a carbonara or clam sauce. I'd still say I'm "having spaghetti" for dinner, but if I was invited to somone's house for "spaghetti I could easily assume a tomato sauce (possibly with meat or veg) and be correct 99.99% of the time.

I make carbonara frequently but I usually add shrimp and use bacon and also fresh grated parm with my egg. Last time I accidentally grabbed linguini instead of spaghetti and didn't realize until it was already cooked, but I didn't throw it away and burn down my kitchen and kill myself, instead I threw caution to the wind and ate it and it was still delicious. Some people must be too serious about their carbonara rules.

Would you call a pizza with pepperoni, pineapple and fries a pepperoni pizza? Add mushrooms, or cream, or loving broccoli :confused: to carbonara: it's no longer carbonara

See, I would say that I made "carbonara with shrimp" which would still be accurate.

Acceptable white people snacks are .... anything that contains jelly.

Judging from my experiences, adding jelly to things that do not (should not?) contain jelly is a non-white people snack. In fact, in one case I've only seen black people in the south do it.

Order any breakfast sandwich at McDonalds in the south: "Grape jelly with that?" "umm, what? No."

I actually tried it once on a bite to see what the deal was, and it tasted like jelly where jelly doesn't belong. To each his own, I guess.

Any jelly-on-savory-breakfast-sandwich people itt care to explain?

Some people seem to have an irrational disgust for mixing sweet and savoury things, but it's actually really good. Pineapple on pizza, for example. Or toast with jam and cheese. Or a ham and apple sandwich.

Meh, I like honey with fried chicken and pineapple on pizza (with bacon > with ham). It's not really the sweet/savory thing I don't get as much as that grape jelly has a really strong flavor that doesn't seem to go with sausage or chicken or bacon to me. It is way stronger than apple slices with ham. As I said, to each his own. It's probably an acquired taste/ something people grew up doing.

I also don't like cheese and syrup together, but they actually serve mcgriddles with cheese on them. I haven't ordered one for years, but I would always get it without the cheese.


I realize it's just a subjective taste thing, rather than a "this is objectively gross" thing

I don't really like stupid "Artistic" presentations that are supposed to make food look fancy but in actuality make it harder to eat, so I don't support a half pineapple as a plate. That does qualify it for the thread in my opinion.

That being said, the food looks delicious and I want to eat it and it is not photographed badly.
