The reason you have to sear beef is because the outside can be covered in bacteria, for mince/ground meat/chicken the bacteria is all throughout the meat and that's why you have to cook it all the way through.

Also produce is literally covered in poo poo

E: what I'm saying all food is super gross and filled with disgusting stuff if you don't prepare it right

I can't remember the last time I had Mt Dew but iirc it's just a citrus kinda flavour. I'm pretty sure that ice cream tastes exactly like sherbet flavour or artificial lime flavour.

Hey we cooked this delicious fish meal but oh-ho-ho-ho its chockfull of hundreds of tiny dagger bones, broken randomly as the meat cleaver smashed through them, so you must chew each bite with care and precision lest your mouth become like a hunted whale. Take them out before we cook them? Preposterous, the bones contain the ~flavor~

Everytime they order fish they ask "why do you eat so slow? Do you hate fish???"

You ever notice that no one else who eats fish is constantly choking or bleeding from the mouth?

You ever pause to wonder why that is?

people who don't care about bones in fish don't chew they just put it on some hot rice and swallow it whole. if it scratches in your throat just eat more hot rice

I've filleted 100s of kilos of fish in my career and can safely say that most fish is not eaten through with parasites. It absolutely does happen, but its not as regular as you're making it out to be. On a similar note:

Certain Americans, especially African-Americans, have some really wild ideas about pork that have been pushed by the Nation of Islam to the point that there are a lot of people in those communities that simply won't touch the stuff. Some believe that pigs have bile ducts throughout their body that causes infection of the meat and that they are raised on garbage and eat their own poo poo, are infected with tapeworms, etc. Obviously there will always be some marginal risk associated with consuming any farmed animal protein but the beliefs some of these communities hold are really far from the truth.

i can't eat dolmades because a few years ago i got incredibly, spectacularly drunk at a family gathering and threw up my stomach contents, which consisted entirely of dolmades. i've drunkenly thrown up many things at many times, but for some reason that specific flavour is the only one that got wired into my brain so whenever i try to send some down, i remember how it tasted on the way back up again and my gut revolts. which is really sad, because i loved dolmades. a while ago i went with a friend to a greek restaurant, and she tried to order "three dolmades" because she really wanted some and i was regretfully unable to help her finish a full serve; but instead of three individual leaves they brought us three whole platters, i was obviously useless in that situation, so she got a takeaway container and had dolmades for days

I suspect there is some very useful occupation you are well-suited for given your ability to feel pain where other people feel nothing.

Though who am I to talk, I cannot really drink soda because it burns my pathetic baby throat so badly that I cannot understand why anyone likes carbonation. Though at least soda is flavored pain; I would have to be literally about to die from thirst before I would drink sparkling water

Its not a me thing, every other non-Chinese part of my family or American guests that eats with them is like "why are their broken bones everywhere in these fish?" If you've not experienced it, please come visit rural china and feel the joy of the tiny fish and the infinite bonestorm

The times I have drunk Mountain Dew, I didn't notice the caffeine, I just thought it was insanely saturated with sugar.

Mountain Dew originally had a moonshiner mascot (its name being a joke on that) so to hear its not loaded with caffeine in other markets is an interesting moment of finding out the radical hillbillyendectomy worked.

I threw up blueberry pancakes when I was a little kid so now blueberries give me gag reactions. I've tried to get over it but nothin' doing. All the foods I've thrown up as an adult? Perfectly fine, would eat again. Something about throwing up foods when your brain's still forming, I guess.

I managed to make myself like so many foods I used to hate as a child in my mid twenties. I was like man I can't avoid mushrooms or peas or okra forever this is stupid, they're in everything. Only vegetable I couldn't manage was summer squashes. They taste so terrible the gently caress is wrong with everyone. also I hate crustaceans. I used to love shrimp as a kid but now I hate them, I don't know what happened there.

There was this guy I used to live with that ONLY liked chicken when it was really dry. as dry as possible. Also I watched him salt a cup of noodles once. I don't know if this will surprise anyone but that dude was constantly making GBS threads.

A co-worker offered me those yogurt Skittles the other day and even just biting into one made me reflexively bolt to spit it out into the trash. I'm not really down with yogurt-covered dry foods in general--cereal, trail mix, etc.

Yogurt itself is delicious and I go out of my way to get the full fat, Greek kind but something about covering another food in yogurt and dehydrating it until it's a weird, sweet, creamy shell is absolutely abhorrent to my body. Indian food? Fantastic. Just eating some yogurt or yogurt in oatmeal? Great. Weird, dried yogurt on another food? gently caress YOU.

I also violently hate chocolate covered raisins. It's the sweet shell on sweet with that dry/creamy texture that grosses me the hell out.

Drimble Wedge posted:

I lived in St. John's, NF for a few years and this was one of the most puzzling things to me because why the hell would you have Mountain Dew without the caffeine? For the flavor? Lol, ok. There also was no loving cherry Coke or cherry Pepsi on the entire island, which I still don't understand.

Also I have no idea why the pizza there had the pepperoni as huge, thin sheets under the cheese so that if you bit into a slice everything slid off and it was loving awful. Pizza Hut was the best pizza I had while living there and that is shameful.

On the other hand, I would shank my mother for some good fish and chips with dressing and gravy. Dressing and gravy is such an amazing addition to virtually any meal that I have no idea why we as Americans haven't adopted it already.

Greek yogurt (plain) works well as a topping/dip if you think about it as similar to sour cream.

Greek yogurt + lemon juice + olive oil + finely minced garlic + dill + salt and pepper is a good dip. Add de-seeded grated cucumber that you salted to draw the extra water out of for like an hour and you've got an okay tzatziki.

I say 'okay' because cucumber's been so entwined with hair/skin products I use that I can't think of it as edible anymore, it's weird.
