Trip report: Angriest Whopper

One of the worst fast-food meals I've ever had was on a road trip; out of desperation, unable to find a decent-looking diner or anything, I stopped at a Burger King and had an Indy Whopper. (Yes, this was when Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull had just come out.) I was frustrated and tired, and the burger was really bland and bad, despite having "Cajun mayo" and pepperjack cheese and the like. So when someone posted an image of the Angriest Whopper, I thought: well, I wonder how different that is? And what in the world will that red bun be like?

So I went.



The burger has some impressive verticality when wrapped. I'm used to the actual burgers at a place being sad, squashed versions of the ads, but this one looked like it might actually be a bit like it.



Opened up, it looked far more like the promo image than I expected it to. I was sitting next to a window with a sticker/poster for the Angriest Whopper, and looking back and forth, I could see the same ingredients in the same order. And yes, the bun really is THAT red. Inside and out.

As for taste? I know it's the thing to do to be all hyperbolic about things in this thread, but, hey, it was pretty good. When you get a bite that has all of the flavors working together, it's nice; a bit spicy, a bit salty, a bit beefy. I find that the flame-grilled flavor at BK tends to come and go, but it was there today. I tried some of the bun on its own, and it did have a slight spicy taste in and of itself. Somewhat oddly, though, the best-tasting bits of the burger were the ones where it tasted most like a plain ol' Whopper.



I didn't know if I was going to post this possibly-gross picture of a half-eaten burger, but what the hell. You can see how violently red the inside of the bun is, there.

So, yeah, there's that. The only real thing wrong with this lunch was that, for the amount I spent, I could've gotten one of the crazy-good patty melts at the local diner with hand-made-to-order potato chips, or a huge plate of pad thai with hot and sour soup, or a basket of Dr. Insano wings and salt-and-pepper fries from the other diner, or hand-breaded clams and chowder at the new seafood joint, or or or... there are just so many good meals to be had around here in this price range that it feels weird to have gone to Burger King and had something that was, yeah, all right, but nothing extra-special.

If you always wished that you could have a beer that tasted like lemon Pledge, Rogue's Lemon Voodoo Donut is the right drink for you.


I have no idea what I'm looking at here. It's like an asteroid pot pie? It's burnt as gently caress whatever it is.

Man, what is with all the Rogue hate, whos mom did they kill? Their Hazelnut Brown is my absolute favorite.

This, however, is absolute undrinkable garbage:

My housemates and I are poor as poo poo and will make a very valiant effort not to throw away/waste booze but we passed this mess on to some unsuspecting victim after sharing one bottle.

I'm sure it tastes fine, but it looks like loose poops.

The partner (who is Swedish), my mother, my sister and I went to a Spanish-Mexican restaurant in town.

Needless to say the Swedish take on Spanish-Mexican food is a bit disconcerting.

In Swedish:


In Nightmare English:


The restaurant was fairly dark lit so I didn't get a good pic of my food but it was the most non-fried Chimm Of Changa I've ever had. The potatoes were good, incredibly Swedish but good.

Speaking of AFP dreams, about a month ago I had a really awful dream in which I had to eat a bunch of raw horse eggs. They were big and brown and leathery, and instead of the normal egg situation they were full of countless small individual yolks rather than one yolk surrounded by the white. They smelled awful, like rancid meat and plastic. Plus they were from male horses, and for that reason they were known as "dearth eggs".

I keep remembering that dream and getting viscerally grossed out to the point of almost physically gagging. Also it's weird that my subconscious mind knew the word "dearth", but pretty much every other aspect of this situation is weirder than that.

On a similar note, Ethiopian food is the king of AFP as a national cuisine.



The most common setup you'll find is big spoonfuls of stew that look like vomit or diarrhea dropped on a piece of flatbread, with more flatbread offered to scoop it up. It tastes delicious but looks like you're wiping your rear end and eating the toilet paper.
