@MRB ACTUALLY

Every once in a while I get a regular hard shell. It is okay when I crave it.

I WOULD SAY IF WE MEASURE IN PRICE/PERFORMANCE

MOST RESTAURANTS ARE WORSE THAN TACO BELL

SHADES OF "DEMOLITION MAN"

Lol I was thinking that

@Metalheim IT IS GOOD IF YOU ARE CONSTIPATED!

TACO CABANA > TACO BELL

BUT STILL

EAT IT WHILE SITTING

NEAR A BUCKET

@diversity_is_racism every day it is

@MRB IF YOU ARE NOT DEFECATING, TACO BELL IS LOSING MONEY

Lol

Price per performance tho is the mcdonal d s

❤ TACO BELL (ANAL SQUIRT)

MCDONALDS HOWEVER

Mcdonalds cheese burger

IS A RIPOFF

LOW QUALITY FOOD

AT RELATIVELY HIGH PRICES

A GOOD QUESTION IS:

CAN IT BEAT GROCERY STORE PRE-PREPARED FOOD?

BY WEIGHT, ESPECIALLY

Price per calorie it's hard to beat. On that alone anyway.

LARD = PATRIOTISM

What they do is, they jelly the meat and make a batter from potatoes for the fries. It is really easy to recreate and much tastier. Especially if you can grind your own chuck.

that is the most traditional finnish food

its delicious

They freeze the batter and then deep fry it. Or they cook it once, freeze it and fry it again as a reheat in the deep fryer.

@diversity_is_racism correct. I misremembered it. http://nypost.com/2013/07/28/the-greatest-food-in-human-history/

@Metalheim That does look good. I am a fan of Scandi/Anglo/German food before the Huguenots and after the 18th Century. I don't know why so many people of these ancestries are so self conscious over the food. I have never had Finnish food so, I don't really know.

it is a dessert

eaten at eastern

its rye and syrup basically

that you cook for like 20 hours or something

but of course no one cooks it in their home nowadays

He who controls the Spice, controls the universe!

I wouldn't think so. How is Finland on raw fish? Some dishes from Sweden and Norway can seem damn near like sushi.

@MRB lol. SPICE MUST FLOW!!

yes we eat raw fish

I love it.

Are sea urchin common?

sea urchin?

gotta google that

no

It is delicious and goes great with salmon roe. There are species indigenous to the Baltic Sea and I am sure that Sweden exports them to Japan a lot.

you mean sea urchin?

Yes,

I do.

ok didnt know that

To be fair, I read that on wikipedia. So, I don't know for sure.

Urchin sounds good

It is. It is the gonads of a prickly sea creature that is like a living, spindly coconut. The gonads taste very...oceany. Almost like mussels or scallops. They have a combination of flavors: sweetness of shrimp, salty shellfish like taste of lobster with the texture of octopus. They have a kind of deep, cream-orange-brown color to them. If there is a gaiminess of the sea, though, urchin can often have it.

Yeah. Sounds good.

Good. Try it if you ever get the chance. Be sure to have it with salmon roe.

If it comes up yeah.

In Texas, there tend to be good sushi restaurants. You might come across it if you ever go to Dallas/Austin/San Antonio.

I'll have to. My wife loves sushi. I haven't had occasion. Most new stuff I eat is an incidental - it's there and I'm like "oh cool" or "sure why not"

There has been occasion where things go badly and I try it anyway. Like when I wanted Mediterranean and would up eating soup that smelled like a rotted foot that had been boiled for 3 days.

With the sock on it.

Lybian food I think it was.

Had Jamaican goat curry that way too lol

Both disgusting

Yes. Never mind that I just don't think they have real cuisines, their restaurants are likely run the way every other third worlders' ventures are.

Yeah. The shit third world erstwhile eat is obviously necessity

3rd worlders*

Yes.

I still can't place a reason for head cheese tho.

Me either. I have never had it but, I never really understood why it was even called that. Is it a lard product or is it actual cheese?

It's a pickled meat type made of fat and face meat from calves or pigs. Horrible.

Not dairy lol

Well if you count the calf maybe it's dairy lol

Oh my. Why do our cousins across the pond come up with this shit. I wonder if it is meant to be some kind of cooking product?

Perhaps something like tallow?

Sliced like bologna

It's freakish

Yes. It sounds that way. Perhaps it was also a necessity? Once we could manage to eat better things, we did. It only lasted due to tradition and the memories of youth among the old?

Perhaps yeah. Food and culture are close IMO

They certainly are.

The three windows of a culture are cuisine, literature and music.

Yeah.

Some of the food tho...

Some it is cruel

Almost like it was preserved to punish the childrenz for not having the same challenges.

Lol good way to see it then. Would also explain why what americand eat is so tasty

Well the appropriated food that is

We like our fried food but we also like it at high, American quality. Well, the smart ones do anyway.

Lol yeah. I'm not a huge fan of frying tbh. If I can grill, roast or bake I will.

I avoid it cause its...horrible

LOL actually brett said it earlier: lard is patriotism

Maybe you just never had it from someone who knows how to keep the grease from overpowering the food? Also, and I got shit for this ever since I started cooking, I drain and blot my fried foods. Grilling and roasting are good too. I rather like a nice grilled anything. Meat, eggplant, corn, bread, lobster. I actually prefer charcoal. I like to taste the meat AND the heat.

Yeah. Definitely

Really? I would have thought a Texan would be all about the propane! The Ohioans (not the antifa, the honest to God Hoosiers) tend to be that way too.

Naw. Mesquite and oak for me. Hate gas.

That does sound better than charcoal but, cookouts are usually family gatherings so its tradition all the way. My grandfather would just look at me with that confused look: "We always use charcoal kiddo. We just need some heat so, we should keep it cheap." followed by his signature laugh that I hear perfectly in my head right now but which you could only guess sounds like.

Lol yeah. I just like what's around me. When I was living near Seattle it was a lot of alder and cedar. Down here people can barely give oak and mesquite away. I will say that in a pinch I'll grab a bag of charcoal

Not it I can help it tho.

going for a smoke. BRB.
