Chinese MRE? 13Pandora13 posted:I made a big batch of koshari (-pasta) for my work week lunches. It's a good candidate for the "tastes amazing, is good for you, looks like dog vomit" category: I have never eaten koshari without puking. Ever. Even my mother's, even in Egypt, even when I made it myself once. Horrible stuff. It's not even that it tastes bad, it's just that it rockets out of my body through my nose and mouth at the speed of light without any reason or warning.

diabeetz posted:Oh hey it's that place that sells fancy horse dishes and bone marrow. SIGN ME THE gently caress UP. Japanese summer special Pepsi flavors (I admit, a few years old):  I actually liked the shiso one. The baobab flavor was just weird; kind of like watered-down bubblegum (reminiscent of champagne cola, but not enough to be yummy).

The cucumber Pepsi was before my Japanese tenure. I also love cucumber-flavored stuff (they have a cucumber-mint Doublemint Gum flavor here in China that kicks eleven kinds of rear end!) but no one I talked to liked the cucumber Pepsi. I didn't know anyone else who liked the shiso one. The yogurt one I also never got the chance to try, but I imagine it was like a lovely Calpis/Calpico.Scathach posted:Do you live within distance to a Cabelas? They have food courts where you can eat elk, deer, boar, buffalo, and all sorts of other critter meat while under the watchful gaze of taxidermy animals of the same persuasion. If you hapen to have a Bass Pro Shop instead, that's okay you need to try alligator anyway. drat, I wish I'd known that when still lived in the States.

And marshmallow is the best medium for anything. well, maybe not... marshmallow log  2 cups flaked coconut 2 cups miniature colored marshmallows 2 cups crushed graham crackers 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk 1 cup chopped walnuts 10 candied cherries, quartered Sprinkle coconut evenly on a sheet of waxed paper. In a medium bowl, stir together marshmallows, graham cracker crumbs, condensed milk, walnuts and cherries. Shape into a log. Place on waxed paper and roll in coconut. Wrap with waxed paper and refrigerate until firm. My favorite review: "Didn't go as fast as I expected it to. Just wasn't to my family's liking. it sucked AND it took too long wtf

It is a testament to how long I've been reading these threads that my eyes went to "greased casserole" and I was like oh ok could be legit. cream bake Serves 5 You will need: 80ml lemonade 40ml cream 130g of sugar 60g of pasta Instructions: rinse the sugar saute the lemonade toast the pasta saute the lemonade put the cream in the saucepan grind the lemonade spoon the sugar onto a warmed plate grind the pasta sprinkle the cream over the top microwave the pasta spoon the cream onto a warmed plate fold in the cream serve piping hot lol rinse the sugar I'M NOT THE RACCOON IN THIS THREAD SIR Also, if you don't saute the lemonade twice, Hitler wins.

I do a lot of low-carb baking (yes, I understand that's AFP) and there are literally sixty-four kajillion low-carb brownie recipes out there. I have never said "Wow, I really want my brownies to smell like garbage and be chewy as gently caress." Also, the same company sells "miracle rice" which is literally just Miracle Noodles cut up.

deadly_pudding posted:I hate the miracle noodles. They're kinda rubbery and just make me terribly sad that I'm not eating real noodles. If wanna low carb it and still have Italian flavors, I just make like a sausage and vegetable stir fry served with a modest amount of tomato sauce, and live with my decision to exist in a reality without pasta. I actually like them, but I like shirataki in general. I'd rather have zoodles or squash noodles, though.  I GISed "looks bad todd" and got this!

Puntification posted:Same it looks really nice and I like all the things involved but calling it bread makes me quite irrationally angry. Same, for gently caress's sake! I used to be a vegetarian. In fact, I was a vegetarian for most of my life. I would eat and enjoy the fake/soy meats, but I never tried to trick myself into thinking they were the real thing and concentrated on getting really, really good at cooking veggies instead. Might explain why I was a vegetarian for so long and so many of my friends gave it up after a few weeks.

Data Graham posted:Aw man... I read The American Way of Eating by Tracy MacMillan (and I do heartily recommend it) about five years ago and was absolutely shocked when I got to the Applebee's chapter. I have never even imagined that a restaurant chain would cook/process all their food in a central location and then ship it out to be basically be reheated, garnished, and fed to the public. I'm an idiot. Would.

Also fries are not a New York thing. if you had a chain called New York Pizza, okay, although Boston Fries still doesn't make sense. I was forced to go to a Boston Pizza only once because I was in some random town in the Miramichi in the dead of winter and it was either that or Timmy's for dinner.

That was a very unique place; thank you for supplying the name. I'm pretty amazed that you could identify it just from that! Fun Newcastle story: my boyfriend got stopped walking down the road one night because the cop noticed he wasn't wearing clothes from Wal-Mart and therefore must be from out of town. He spent his year there collecting taxidermied lobsters. New Brunswick is an interesting place.

Saddest food yet. Somehow they're always sour. I genuinely did not know canned potatoes were a thing until I was in my mid-twenties. Someone posted in the general discussion thread of GWS that they were a cook at a homeless shelter for teenagers (I think?) and they were having difficulty finding recipes the kids would eat that they could cook with their donated foodstuffs. I wish that guy had done an A/T. My mother's rule regarding canned foods: unless they are tomatoes or you canned it yourself, NOT ALLOWED.

The Snoo posted:There's also some random maple-blueberry-pancake ice cream, and probably something with bacon too. I love giant's store brand stuff because I'm a filthy poor and I'm sure some of it is okay. Probably would've been appropriate for the food trends thread. Now listen up, children, Imma tell you some poo poo: Store brand is frequently the expensive/name-brand poo poo, but repackaged. Let me again cite The American Way of Eating. The author worked as a garlic picker during her research period and noticed that the same product from the same fields was being packaged as an exclusive Wal-Mart brand AND as an exclusive Whole Foods brand. If you live outside North America, you may not know, but there would be a significant price difference for either fresh or dehydrated garlic sold at either store. I cannot remember if she said that canned produce is also similarly distributed, but I think she did and I'm gonna go ahead and say that it frequently is. I'm a native of upstate New York, home of Wegman's. For those who don't know, Wegman's is literally and completely the greatest grocery store chain in the history of history. It is not only the poo poo, but since I'm from a rural area, the closest Wegman's (45 minutes away) is where people would go to loving hang out because upstate New York is usually buried under two meters of snow and there's sweet gently caress-all to do unless someone is playing terrible jazz in a state park somewhere. My hometown has fewer than two thousand people (if you count the woods-dwelling tornado bait who only come around to patronize the hardware store) and most of them are pretty loving poor. There's also a not-insignificant minority of extremely wealthy people. Where does everyone go? Wegman's. What does EVERYONE buy? Wegman's brand food. Prepared food, canned food, whatever. Absolutely everyone. Why? because it's exactly the same, in most cases, as the name-brand stuff. (On the Canadian side, I suppose the brand I'm most familiar with people having equivalent loyalty to is President's Choice. [and, really, those white cheddar shells...yessss.]) Now, think about it. If you were shopping in your supermarket of choice, and you saw Heinz baked beans and store brand baked beans for the exact same price, which would you buy? Probably the Heinz. Store brand ice cream or Edy's? Um, no contest, right? But if there's significant difference in price point between the store brand of, let's say, canned tomatoes, and a "fancy" name brand of canned tomatoes, one likely wouldn't miss out on much by purchasing the store brand. In fact, you might just get the exact same thing. Alphonso's Organic Angel-Kissed Tomato Farm had a bumper crop and Wegman's bought it; Wegman's own brand is Alphonso's fancy tomatoes. The next batch might be some lovely tomatoes that are nowhere near as good as Alphonsos babied, tenderly adored tomatoes that he grows supported in La Perla bras adjacent to an actual field of asphodel, but guess what? It probably will be just as decent. So, believe in the store brand. Buy that cheap poo poo and feel smug. but don't ever buy that "avocado hummus" at trader Joe's, because that poo poo tastes like chalk. http://www.thekitchn.com/generic-versus-name-brand-25-foods-to-buy-cheap-tips-from-the-kitchn-206826 http://www.cbsnews.com/news/generic-vs-brand-name-is-there-really-a-difference/

ACES CURE PLANES posted:I'm generally a pretty good devotee to the church of the store brand, they're cheaper and generally mostly the same. But even I have to say that store-brand soda is the absolute worst. I agree; there is nothing worse than store-brand cola. Orange/grape sodas, ginger ale, and Dr. Pepper knockoffs aren't too bad, though.

deadly_pudding posted:It's mayo with some kinda voodoo done to it, I think. Like a super poor-man's hollandaise. My best friend worked at McDonald's in high school. he told me the "special sauce" just ketchup mixed with mayonnaise, so I wouldn't be surprised if the breakfast sauce was, like, mayo and tartar sauce. Other things he told me about McDonald's circa 2000-2003: 1. The shake machine was never cleaned. They tried to do it once and a gelatinous carpet of fetid milk fell out of the back. The manager cleaned it up and then said that she would never clean it again, and for two years, he says they didn't. 2. The Filet o' Fish come in a frozen, perforated sheet. They used to kick it around (in a bag) behind the store until the patties broke up. Ditto for Chicken Nuggets. 3. Said manager was a white woman named Quanasia who once loudly threatened revenge on the woman who stole her man thusly: "She's a nasty-rear end, stank-rear end, piece of white trash, and I'm gonna paintball her trailer." I don't know if any of these stories are true, but wouldn't it be lovely if they were?
