HEB is a quandary in that if it were a real success it would be sam's club but worse x 1000. Its only strengths are that it is a disorganized lovely mess and sensible mexicans shop there, driving and sustaining the produce section, the only ikea-maze-like area worth a glance.

I don't know why kind of trash HEBs you've been in but they're by far the best around here, great selection and also not apparently organized by blind idiots like yours are.

Though Chartreuse is probably the worst I've ever drank, my Ota always made what he called "Beer Liquor"

It was a couple bottles of the cheapest beer you could buy, boiled down until it was almost syrup. Then you add in 50/50 Bacardi 151 and Vodka to make a quart. It tastes exactly like you'd think only worse. We always took shots of it when we were fishing.

It's an acquired taste but it gets you drunk as poo poo.

Chartreuse is absolutely loving vile thank you for mentioning it. Who wouldn't just love to drink alcoholic Bitrex.

Not to be the typical "Actually, that's not bad" person but I've had all 3 of those varieties and at least the honey one is markedly better than pretty much any other M&M, and the coffee one is really tasty too. Chili is weird though, just kind of non specific hot with my low grade chocolate.

We had bought some really awful cheap beer at some point, and my husband added smoked chipotle tabasco sauce to mask the flavour. It was actually really good.

That's the secret to most beer cocktails, if you put anything good in there it tastes weird cause the beer has flavor, but man put some Clamato and hot sauce into a Modello or other trashy cerveza and you got yourself a good drink

A lot of Mexican/Tex Mex stuff is AFP on paper and delicious when you actually try it. Case in point: Elote. Corn, mayo, cheese, and chili powder seems revolting but damned if it isn't fantastically tasty.

My mom made the off-the-cob version (esquites) for a summer holiday meal a year or so back and I've suggested it for every occasion since (even when that occasion is "Tuesday"). Easter's coming up? Ham--that's a given--and esquites. That's all we need, Mom, I swear. Maybe some wine.

Now I'm in charge of cooking it when I come over, which is dangerous. I spend a lot of time "taste-testing" it, and the serving bowl usually ends up noticeably underfilled. We're growing cilantro this year specifically for esquites.

Ugh, I really want some esquites now. :mad:

edit: This is the recipe.

Weirdly enough, down where I am (Houston) I've never come across actual Elote on a cob, every time I've had it has technically been esquites. It's still gods gift to the world though, and I'm with you on the cravings now

Dude, go to a Fiesta market, any loving Fiesta, and find the guy outside roasting corn. He'll hand you a husk-still-on cob and you do all the delicious mayo and cheese work yourself. Buy some tamarindo from the stall with all the juice to go with it. Where are you going that they don't do elotes right?

Wrong thread though, that's just porn.

I dunno maybe it's because I went to Mi Tienda instead? Even actual refresquieras don't usually have them

Soylent will always be one of the best idiot nerd things because some goon saw TPN used for almost dead people in the ICU and thought "I really want to get in on that"

Also it brought out the many ur-spergs coming out of the woodworks saying they hate the act of eating and thank Sagan for Soylent, which was a nice bonus

One of the earliest "internet humor" sites I remember was Bad Candy, where they reviewed salty licorice, fizzy milk, and tamarind - the latter of which was considered the most horrific of all. The original site is long gone, but this old archive shares a bit of info. I didn't know the FDA has a "filthy" designation.

Oh man, I loved that site when I was a kid! Around 03-05 it was the funniest thing, I'm so sad to see its actually dead. It was around last I saw which had to have been a while now. I'll always remember the candy that was a good percentage "ash" and as well as the hideously salty devil pit that would not leave your mouth no matter what.

That looks more appealing than KFC Australia's newest menu item:


Besides it being inherently lovely because it's KFC, what's so bad about this? Pulled pork sandwiches are pretty standard fare so far as cheap meaty foods go. Or is it just really out of the ordinary to see that in Australia?

Mainly because it's pulled pork from KFC and they're about twelve months late to get in on the pulled pork craze which already swept through Australia's various fast food chains. It's just a really bizarre thing for them to sell with no apparent motivation behind it.

Fair enough, I thought there was something you found singularly revolting about it besides it just being a weird offering from a crappy fast food place. I also remember seeing that trend get posted about in this/the last iteration of this topic and thought it was the weirdest drat thing that you Aussies all of a sudden discovered something that had been eaten where I live for, uh, idk like 100+ years? Bizarre thing to become a food fad all of a sudden.

I mean yeah I kind of thought about that after I posted, any fetishized indigenous food has to look pretty weird to the natives. Still, weird having it happen with something so mundanely familiar, and especially something as plain as pulled pork. Like where does the fad come from, look you know pork right well guess the gently caress what we cooked it slightly different and put BBQ sauce on it, bam food craze

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.

Let's be honest here, you and I are both fully aware of Doritos' target audience
