We also made "ants on a boat"- peanut butter and raisins on apple slices (celery is a big hard to find here). They refused to try them until they saw me eat one. Then they ate it and liked it. Figure midgets out.

They only produced a limited amount of cans and sold them in one location "down south" as a test run according to my friend who manages a Game he said demand was insane though (it would make a pretty neat stocking filler/secret santa gift) and that the company was considering a bigger release but as of yet that's never happened.

Data Graham posted:Exemption for "human" or no? OK, yes, if it's something that you find immoral, or if it's poison, or if you're allergic to it, or whatever, fine. If it's just something that's perfectly edible and doesn't violate any deeply held convictions but is something you wouldn't normally eat, you're a child. If you take a bite of some unknown food, like it, and ask what it is, don't stop eating it because it turns out to be insects or testicles or whatever. You just found out that something you assumed was disgusting is actually nice, that's a good thing.

I used to watch "Roseanne" religiously with my mom and sister when it first aired (yeah, I'm old), and for a few seasons Roseanne ran a place that sold loose meat sandwiches. Being from NY, none of us had a clue what they were, and they never really showed you a loose meat sandwich on the show, as far as I can recall, just talked about them. Every time it came up, we'd all get puzzled and finally shrug, "guess it's some midwestern thing." You have just solved a mystery I haven't thought about in 20 years. Thanks! (And now I kinda want to try one.)

Throw on some ketchup if you'd like. Good stuff. In fact you can ignore the bun and just eat it out of a bowl with a spoon, gently caress it.

Efexeye posted:loose meat sandwich : sloppy joe :: flint style coney dog : detroit style coney dog Man, after looking that up on Wikipedia, alls I gotta say is you midwesterners take your regional hot dogs seriously. (Not judging, just observing.) To add to my confusion, this is what a "coney" is to central upstate NYers --- which I find absolutely delicious, but could be considered anti-food porn, as some of my non-NY friends find white hot dogs... unsettling:  They're actually much whiter in person, since they're made from pork and veal; that picture doesn't quite do 'em justice. I can't help but wonder if they tweaked the red value up on the photo so people wouldn't be all "ewww, white hot dogs!" Edit: this pic gives a better illustration of the contrast between a coney and a regular frank:  2nd Edit: Light Gun Man posted:They are good and super easy to make.

JacquelineDempsey posted:So... what's the difference between making a hamburger and a loose meat, besides skipping the step where you squish the meat into a patty? My uneducated guess is that you can make a fuckton of loose meat, in proper midwest steam-tray/casserole/hot dish style, and feed legions by just having some buns without the fuss of having to grill or fry anything. Your guess is correct. You just steam a vat of ground beef with some chopped onions in it and spoon it out as needed. It's super popular in public school lunch programs because of how cheap it is and how easy it is to prepare. It's also great for picnics and family gatherings for the same reasons. Way easier than making patties, lighting up the grill, etc.

I'd say there's also more surface area to brown but I suspect I'm somewhat misunderstanding midwest cooking.

There's a whole lot of differences between the two, different consistency, flavor profile, all sorts of things. A properly cooked burger (lightly seared, medium rare or bust  ) compared to a loose meat sandwich are night and day, not saying that the latter is bad of course, but you really can't compare the tastes of the two.That said though, yeah, it's definitely cooked that way for efficiency's sake as others said.

They don't speak English, but you seem really cool and smart, so I'm sure you'll have no trouble communicating your displeasure. Considering I had to pay out of pocket for everything for 53 kids, of varying ages and English levels, three of them being special needs and having dietary restrictions, it's one of the easier and more affordable plans I came up with.

Turtles for example just seem like they'd be gross as gently caress. Completely the opposite in fact, by all accounts Turtles and Tortoises are tasty as gently caress. The Brits had to invent Mock Turtle Soup because real turtle got too expensive but everybody wanted to eat them still. Also it took 300 years for the tropical giant tortoise to get a scientific name because every specimen that got put on a boat back to England was eaten before it arrived because they were that drat delicious. Even the 12 tortoises that Darwin tried to bring back. All eaten because they were the equivalent of food crack cocaine.

Canadian Inuit traditionally eat Caribou Warbles (qumak) , you have to pick them out of the skin before tanning anyway.  They're not eaten much anymore though. It's more like something your Grandparents, or parents did/do.

I remember hearing about "loose meat sandwiches" from the show too and was confused at what that was. I'm also old. Why would mince meat in a sandwich be a popular enough item? Then a few years ago I learnt about sloppy joes and then it made sense. It's certainly not a thing in Australia. For a burger, it's dumb, better to make a patty. But I cook beef sloppy joe style all the time if I'm putting it in a tortilla or pita bread, in a toaster/fry sandwich press or serving with rice, (like a simple cheap chili con carne), though I usually add heaps of spices, chilli, sauces and maybe tomato paste and a stock that reduces down. E: VVVVVV Never been there, I read there's some good farmland, roads and vistas though. Fo3 has a new favorite as of 18:13 on Mar 11, 2015 |
