Charleston Chews are dope af, especially when frozen, but I never really got why Futurama used them like a punchline from time to time. Just random wackiness I guess.

I think part of the joke is that charleston chews have been around for nearly 100 years and we still eat them, so what's another 1,000 years

I've been trying to work out the logistics of sending scrapple and old bay seasoning down to gromit.

I always thought scrapple was more of a Pennsylvania thing than a US thing in general, and it definitely belongs in the Antifoodporn thread, but it's also so drat tasty.

You could ask RAPA if they do expedited shipping overseas; I know that in the winter they have a service in the US where they pack scrapple in dry ice and ship it out as a service to customers. Old Bay should be no problem.
ed: Sorry, they only ship in the winter, and only to the continental US.

It's less and america thing and more an east coast thing. I've heard stories about people in other parts of the US being disgusted at the concept of scrapple and then being all about it once they've had a piece fried up.

Regional fare's the best!

Here's a modified recipe for Dirty Rice, a Cajun dish from southern Louisiana. This version uses chicken and sausage instead of hamburger and chicken livers.

Seasoning:
1 t Cayene Pepper
1 t Black Pepper
1 t Paprika
3/4 t Dry mustard
1/2 t Ground cumin
1/3 t Dried thyme
1/3 t Dried oregano

Ingredient:
500 g chicken
500 g sausage
2 bay leaves
2 T olive oil (or retained sausage grease)
1 cup onion
1 cup celery
1 cup green pepper
2 cloves garlic, diced
4 cup stock or water
1/2 cup green onion
1/4 cup parsley, fresh
2 T coarse ground mustard
2 cup rice (rinsed!)

Directions:
1. Mix seasonings in bowl
2. In an 8 quart pot, brown chicken then remove.
3. Brown sausage then remove.
4. Add olive oil and vegetables. Sweat vegetables and deglaze pot.
5. Stir in meat, seasoning and garlic. Cook 1 to 2 minutes while stirring to prevent burning.
6. Stir in stock or water. Simmer 3 to 5 minutes.
7. Add parsley, mustard and bay leaves. Simmer 3 to 5 minutes.
8. Remove bayleaves. Grease/oil will have settled out, spoon off if desired.
9. Add rice, cook.
10. Once rice is done, stir well before serving.


Whenever I bring this to cookouts, there's never any left.

For real. That looks like a good recipe, and dirty rice is a perfect opportunity to get some organ meats in your diet. Throw some livers in there, some tripe, and a bunch of hearts.

it seemed like a good idea at the time
I remember eating haw flakes as a kid when my dad was going through radiation therapy and went on a traditional Chinese medicine craze (we aren't Chinese, he just got disillusioned with western medicine and became a naturopathic crazy). I wouldn't say they taste good, but they're kind of compelling? They're impossible to explain.

Nope; similar idea definitely, but not the same flavour.

Agree 100%. Throw that scrapple in some butter on a flat iron to crisp up and then toss it on a couple pieces of bread with a little dollop of grape jam/jelly. I don't like a lot of organ meats, and I'm not a big fan of grape jelly, but holy gently caress. It became one of my favorite breakfast foods instantly.

Yup, just don't slice the scrapple too thickly, you want it nice and crunchy outside but firm all the way through. Scrapple on rye toast, yo.

On the weird confectionery stuff: You people should try the Indian/Pakistani treat Pan Pasand.

It's a boiled lolly that is supposed to taste like Betel Leaves, but instead just tastes like a chemical spill. They're awesome.

When I was little my dad brought some back, and a friend of my brother tried them and dubbed them "Dettol Lollies."

These things are great. You can focus on the part of the menu you are interested in like just burgers, just sides, just drinks, etc. The print is big enough and close enough that you don't need to squint even as your eyes fail with middle age myopia. And you can stare at it for as long as you want without the pressure of anyone waiting for you to make up your mind. They are fantastic.

Apparently the CEO did it out of spite, but they are the best change to Mcdonalds in years. https://www.forbes.com/sites/realsp...e/#72fc3a1a4fbc

WTF is up with these people? 15 Dollars minimum wage is too much, we will replace you.
