Mayo + fruit is the baseline formula for a ton of Midwest-style fruit salads, but I understand that the combination might be weird to someone who didn't grow up in America's blandest foodscape.

H-E-B owns bones, but other regions have their own versions of it! Up in the Midwest, they have a price premium grocer called Hy-Vee that bends over backwards to make you come back. They've got a giant-rear end take-out or dine-in salad bar, a separate giant-rear end buffet with everything from Chinese to pizza to made-from-scratch hickory-smoked BBQ, and few people know this but you can actually call customer service, place an order, and pay a small fee to have them deliver your dinner and your groceries right to your house. Seriously, you just say "hey I want a salad from the salad bar, put the following on it, a bucket of fried chicken, and a #3 from the chinese menu, now here is my grocery order" and that poo poo shows up at your door. (I used to work at one, and it's one of the few places that I've sincerely loved working at)

Our fruit would've been ladled unceremoniously from one of those enormous cans, though, and they would've saved money by not giving us mustard.


What's happened here is they'd planned on tomato soup and grilled cheese and ran out of bread mid-week, which happened a few times a month.

some of you are bored of trip reports, so there's a surprise for you at the end if you make it all the way through this one, ya negative nancies

TRIP REPORT: The Wendy's JALAPEÑO FRESCO SPICY CHICKEN SANDWICH

Here's how the description on the official corporate website reads:

Dave Thomas's Ghost posted:

We're kicking up the heat with 5 layers of spice on our new Jalapeño Fresco Spicy Chicken sandwich. It's our classic spicy chicken breast topped with fresh, diced jalapeños, ghost pepper sauce, Colby pepper jack cheese all on a red jalapeno bun. It's too hot to last, so try one today!

Okay, I'm a huge fan of spicy stuff. Love it. So, naturally, I was excited to see the sign at the Wendy's up the street change from "ALL DRINK'S 1$" to "JALAPENO FЯESCO CHICKEN SANDWICH GHOST PEPPER FRIES." I was also excited that they'd managed to pluralize "fries" correctly, and to be honest, I found the backwards R kind of endearing.

Five layers of spice? Goodness, that sounds like a lot of spice. Jalapeños are delicious, and I've admittedly never tried a ghost pepper, but they're supposed to be legendary for their spiciness. I honestly didn't know what to expect from the Ghost Pepper Fries--I was thinking maybe they had some kind of pepper-infused breading on them?


The "red" in "Red Jalapeño Bun" must refer to a red variety of red jalapeños baked into it. I was kind of sad that it wasn't as brilliantly fire truck red as the Angriest Whopper from the trip report earlier. But then I noticed that hey, they'd been generous with the jalapeños on the fries, so all was well...


...until I took a bite. I know my task here is to evaluate the sandwich on its merits as a recipe rather than as an individual sandwich, but the chicken was really friggin' dry and stringy and had big chunks of gristle throughout, so my opinion might be colored a bit by my bad chicken experience.

Let's start with the Ghost Pepper Sauce. It's a strange, way-too-orange goo that gets all over everything and stains instantly. I tried as carefully as I could to pick the thing up without getting it all over the place and the sandwich just laughed at me, dripping sauce all over the place. It doesn't taste like much of anything, and certainly not anything resembling a hot pepper. Imagine orange, watered-down mayo.

I think there was colby jack on it, but I didn't taste any cheese at all. Perhaps it was ghost cheese in the same way that the peppers in the sauce were ghost.

The bun was...okay. Tasted like a hamburger bun. Not much more to say about it other than I guess it did a good job holding together the chicken, ghost cheese, gallon of ghost pepper sauce, literally every friggin' red onion they had in the building (it doesn't look like it in the photos but that thing was onion city) and jalapeño bits.

Oh, speaking of the jalapeño bits, I'm pretty sure someone screwed up and sent this store green pepper bits by mistake. Those things did not taste like jalapeño. They tasted exactly like green bell pepper, so unless there's a jalapeño variant out there designed to taste like a bell pepper, they weren't jalapeños.


The fries, as you can see, were normal fries with Ghost Pepper Sauce and "jalapeño" bits on them. Not horrible, but after the sandwich, I was ready to bail on them.

All in all, this was a bad deal. Wasn't a fan of the sandwich, and the fries left a lot to be desired, too. I guess it might appeal to you if you're super into chicken sandwiches drenched in mild mayo with undetectable cheese, onion, and green pepper on them. I give it one disappointed hot pepper out of five. It wasn't spicy at all, and it was only barely a chicken sandwich.

1.1 Only squids with eight (8) tentacles can be referred to as "FANCY QUALITY."

1.2 Squids with fewer than eight (8) tentacles shall be described as "FAIR QUALITY."

1.3 In the event that a can contains only squid heads, it shall be described as whatever the manufacturer wants because what the gently caress

ADDENDUM

All canned squid must be manufactured in a manner that will result in a product that will photograph poorly.

They are known to carry leprosy germs on their feet, so probably less the eating than the frequent handling of carcasses to butcher then.

Yeah, I've got no beef with the research methods or their conclusions--it all seems pretty sound. "We found these markers here, and they're also there, and that's way too many in common to be pure coincidence."

My sticking point is the dumbshit journalist who saw that one dude reported having hunted and eaten armadillo and automatically slapped a clickbait headline on the article. We can't say for sure if those activities even caused his illness, let alone whether it was the dressing and preparation of the animal or the actual consumption of the cooked meat. Hell, it's equally as likely that he contracted leprosy hauling the bits he didn't cook out to the garbage because he tripped over a different, live armadillo on the way back to the house.

It's bad journalism and it makes me angrier than the angriest whopper

I pity all of you with broken taste buds that somehow can't enjoy tomato soup with a grilled cheese sandwich on a lazy sunday while putting down a bloody mary with extra hot sauce and horseradish.

Homemade tomato soup is the bomb but a can of Campbell's condensed tomato soup has thirty loving grams of sugar in it.

That's the amount of sugar in three glazed donuts. Good god, why is there so much sugar in soup

Also, I'm on the bloody mary train, but I can't find a bartender who will make one spicy enough. They get all serious when I ask for an extra spicy one and tell me that it'll be really spicy and that I should reconsider, but when it arrives, it tastes like someone briefly showed some tomatoes a photo of black pepper.
