bike tory posted:This is from a few pages back now but w/e There are at least a few milk vending machines around Kobe, saw one in the basement of San Center the other day. Also a lot of the burbs still do milk delivery. You see the trucks with their pallets of bottles in Suzurandai and Minotami. Out where I live there's a single guy who goes door to door, even in the big apartment complexes, selling milk. I dunno if he's just one lonely employee of a larger company or if he does his business for himself but he does sometimes come around and offer to sell up some milk that's a couple days away from going off for like third price, and it's pretty drat good dairy, too.

Bee larvae taste uncannily similar to Honey Nut Cheerios. (Probably has something to do with the fact that they're full of honey, for starters, plus the rich protein-filled guts, and the mild crunch of underdeveloped exoskeleton.)

Stromboli is topped when flat and rolled up into a large spiral, like a big pizza roulade, Calzone is a large stuffed moon or half-moon full of toppings, like a big pizza dumpling. Sometimes calzone is fried, this is heresy and breaks all pizza rules. Because stromboli and calzone are both pizza.

Man all you motherfuckers complaining about the lack of good tacos in the UK don't even appreciate the serious taco withdrawal you have to go through when moving to Japan. Pinto beans cost more than loving pork chops here, and there is one place in the whole city that sells tiny jalapeños for way too much. Corn meal? Forget about it. Chorizo? You're loving joking. Finding a local grower of habaneros was like late-summer-christmas. You best believe I bought every pepper for sale.

Fleta Mcgurn posted:A list of foods appropriate for stoned people, from the book I Like You: Hospitality Under the Influence: At least 3/4 of these are legit tasty junk food, if you like eating garbage at 4.am, which I do, emphatically. Fleta Mcgurn posted:The worst food thing I ever did while high was mix sugar-free raspberry Jello powder with Greek yogurt. It was pretty hard to finish. Well your mistake here was obvious, sugar free Jello tastes like the fluoride wash you get when you're a kid at the dentist. For content the worst high food I've ever made was a deep fried kitkat sandwiched between two mc'd dollar menu cheeseburgers, also battered and deep fried. Molten chocolate does not work well with piping hot ketchup, mustard, or pickles, even if you disregard the severe oral burns, while at the same time the "taste" of the "beef" patties and the texture of the wafers just got lost in the whole morass, so it was mostly a sad, greasy, mess.

Brief trip report: slightly thinner and sweeter than the kind you make at home, usually a decent amount of kernels per can, always comes out of the machine at perfect drinking temperature, the can is warmer than the soup so its nice on your hands, good poo poo on cold rear end mornings.

Japanese mayo is no better and no worse than the poo poo you buy in western supermarkets. It's a little more sweet, it uses different vinegars so it has a slightly different tang, and it's full of delicious MSG. Honestly if you bought a sachet of MSG crystals and sprinkled them over some Miracle Whip you'd be hard-pressed to taste the difference. It definitely is not "closer to aioli" or whatever dumb poo poo some weeb wannabe foodies might try to claim.

Good country gravy uses pork fat rendered from the sausage + lard to make the roux, so it really shouldn't taste much like the béchamel made with butter you'd find in like moussaka or whatever.

It is pretty fuckin scummy to sell diet pills and holographic pendants and homeopathic remedies on the same drat shelves as actual medicine, often with similar packaging to boot. And setting up a snake oil display ten feet away from a pharmacy counter does go a long way toward legitimizing scam products, that's why the scam artists do it. So I can see how you might conclude that a medical professional ought to be ethically obligated to refuse to work in such a setup, if you were totally, or willfully, ignorant of the realities of real world labor. Now for content, I ordered pizza with a Japanese friend today. I got bulgogi, he got corn and mayonnaise. And when I say that he "got corn and mayonnaise" I mean that there was neither tomato sauce nor melted cheese on his slice. Just bread, slathered in mayo, topped with (obviously canned) corn. The bulgogi pizza was pretty rad tho. OutsideAngel has a new favorite as of 17:39 on Jun 20, 2018 |
