titties posted:A couple of people have said that they liked the late-night cheeseburger Doritos. Years back when Doritos was doing mystery-flavor bags we got one that turned out to be Burger King Whopper flavor. They were hideous. I took them to work and passed them around and I have never seen so many people put a food into their mouth and then instantly spit it out onto the ground. Agreed with the poster above me who was kind of surprised that they actually tasted like meat, mustard, and pickles, which was not what I was hoping for and sort of disgusting. I was happy that they brought back pizza doritos, which I loved when I was a kid, but for whatever reason they made the bags 1/2 pizza doritos and 1/2 ranch doritos, which in addition to tasting super gross is only conceptually appealing if you're the kind of person who eats pizza with ranch.

Efexeye posted:my wife cooks for 36 hours on thanksgiving and the day before and then eats nothing until an hour after the meal when she has a bowl of cold mashed potatoes, stuffing and gravy with a turkey sandwich. I sort of get this. Any time I make a really involved meal I just want a cigarette and to stare at people eating it. The desire to eat it just vanishes.

I used to work for a guy who did the chefsplaining thing. Customer asks for a substitution on his dish, manager goes out and explains that "the vision of our restaurant is to serve food as traditionally as possible to give you the true Italian experience," I and just make the substituted dish, manager comes back and bitches me out. For some reason we had a problem with customer retention there.

Sorry I don't have a trip report to post but I'm guessing they just taste like salt and beige.

I realize you can safely eat chicken that isn't totally solid and white, but having been sick from undercooked chicken twice before my immediate response to any mushy texture is to spit it out and throw the rest of it away. I love rare steak, my body is just conditioned to barf from undercooked chicken.

Some of the saddest things for me in this thread are when people just throw together some random slop and it's not, you know, bachelor food, but instagram-worthy. Also clean your loving stove.

FetusSlapper posted:I like to buy cans of pineapple rings to caramelize before adding to all kinds of sandwiches. But apparently I'm a loving weirdo for liking pineapple. I'm a loving weirdo for a host of other reasons. "Pineapple" and "bulging" made me think of how quickly sliced pineapple goes bad (among other things), which reminded me of how we used to get unpasteurized cider directly from the orchard. Leave it on the porch for about a day and it hardens, nice and tasty, and you bring it back inside. One time we brought it back inside and left it next to a window where it got more sun all day; the jug exploded and there was a gallon of cider vinegar to clean up. The smell never really went away.

Picnic Princess posted:When I was a kid we had mice in our trailer, and my mom burned one to death in our toaster. We couldn't afford a new one for a couple of paycheques. I used to take frozen waffles, put my lips around them, and breathe into them to thaw them and eat them like that. It was okay because they were the fancy cinnamon ones and they tasted fairly okay. High five, kinda. Same trailer/mouse story but it was the oven and my dad took it apart, cleaned it, and reassembled it, but the mouse smell never went away and so I stopped using the stove.

It bums me out that however well I rinse them any dish cooked with black beans comes out looking like purple diarrhea. quote:What is this? Prison nutraloaf? e: wait, based on the weird squeezed-out-of-a-tube texture, that must be an MRE. RNG has a new favorite as of 20:00 on Aug 26, 2016 |

This is a normal plate of pasta. Also thanks for the black bean advice, everyone. I really like black beans but hate the way they discolor food.

A neighbor used to give me fresh eggs, and they creeped me out because you had to wipe the chicken poo poo off, but I made some for my folks and my mom reminisced fondly about how you used to wipe the poo poo off every egg.

I feel sort of happy/sad when I look back at a restaurant I used to work at since before it opened and they're finally doing OK after 3 total staff turnovers. After they finally started fixing poo poo customers/employees have been complaining about since day one. As far as sad middle American food, one of my worst experiences was when I was a vegetarian and went to Cracker Barrel with coworkers (I'd never been there before). I ordered the "four vegetable platter," figuring that if someone was ordering all vegetables this must be the vegetarian option, and 3/4 of the dishes were cooked with ham or bacon.

zedprime posted:If we're going with the basic definition of salad being chopped things with dressing, the obvious pizza salad that would be more popular than any of us would like to admit would be chopping a pizza up and tossing it with ranch. This is like the "egg salad" definition of salad more than the salad-salad one and I'm pretty sure people would order it. On reflection, someone, at some point, has gone to CiCi's pizza, gotten a salad bowl full of ranch dressing, torn their pizza into chunks, and eaten it with a fork/spoon.
