Allow me to amend my statement: eat the tasty things, don't eat more calories than you'll burn in a day. This generally means eating a smaller portion of the tasty things. The fries in Belgium hurt, but they were so, so good. For as easy as it is to get unhealthy food in America, the availability of fresh, crispy fries on demand is seriously lacking.

The only thing that surprises me about that video is that apparently the color schemes on the boxes are different. Isn't that red part of the standard international trade dress?

Remember this food trend from 10 years ago? Fast food places were popping up that got one of those spiral potato cutters, and would deep fry it. It was mostly relevant to this thread for the name, they would call these "pornados". A lot of the reviews from this place are people hung up on that name for obvious reasons https://www.yelp.com/biz/hurricane-spud-seattle

The very first diner we went to I ordered the standard breakfast and then was aghast when they plonked a huge fuckin pile of syrup soaked pancakes down with my bacon and eggs and home fries and wondered how the gently caress I was supposed to be able to move after eating it all. I then lost the 8kg in the following month of travelling around east and south east asia, still eating out twice a day and drinking a lot.

Butterfly Valley posted:Sounds pretty accurate tbf It's because when french cuisine fad was at its height in the US, it was the many, many courses style and the entrée was the dish right before the heaviest, main meat course. After that style faded, restaurants still wanted to sound french and  It makes a sort of logic in that it remains the dish just before the largest dish. (insert joke about american appetizers here)

All I’m going to say about international portion sizes is that restaurants exist in Argentina and holy hell do they give you a ton of food. Yes, I would like half a cow with a bathtub of gnocchi as a side, why not?

That place missed a trick by not making it Kangaroo and Emu and calling it the 'Coat of Arms' plate. Anyway crocodile meat is great, tastes like fishy chicken and Kangaroo meat is a fantastic substitute for beef, it's tasty. lean and is far more environmentally friendly to rear. We should all switch to Kangaroo tbh for our health and the planets health.

Entree is short for entree de table and look it's really long and dumb but basically Americans copied the French, who were already like 5 steps removed from the literal "entrance" meaning, and it's only in the last century that the French finally gave up and dumbed down their own terminology.

When I lived in NF the portion sizes weren't very off, it was just the rest that surprised me. Like drink refills cost extra and no bread with the meal. I still dream of eating fish and chips with dressing and gravy. I have no loving idea how that poo poo hasn't caught on in America. It's literally boxed dressing and chicken gravy piled on top of fried fish and french fries! On the other hand, the worst pizza I ever had was in St. John's, NF, where pizzas come to die. The giant, thin slices of pepperoni under the cheese were absolutely not it. Ever bite into a pizza and everything slides directly onto your shirt in a wet, greasy, tasteless pile? yeah, you got the full experience!

If everyone switched to kangaroo meat it wouldn’t be environmentally advantageous anymore because they’d need to factory farm it. That being said, I’d still like to try it.

A guy I know makes homemade pizzas by layering large basil leaves on top of the sauce, then putting the cheese and toppings on top of that. Congratulations, you have invented a form of insulation that prevents the toppings from adhering to the crust in any way, and they are guaranteed to come apart messily when you bite in and find a whole leaf that resists tearing and just makes everything as insane as possible

I've been to an Indian place a number of times that had a specialty exotic meat menu. Kangaroo curry is awesome. They also had cobra and bear and a few other odd meats. I just looked them up, looks like they've dropped the exotic meats and added a bunch of generic chip shop/kebab shop style dishes, sad.

Crocodile's good in stir fries, that's how I've had it before. Camel makes really good burgers as it's got some nice fat in it.

Oh good, so I also get to make fun of the French too for loving up the meaning of the word, then still make fun of Americans for copying it and not changing it in the intervening four hundred years. At least the French seem to have reverted to some normalcy with their definition. Interesting link though thanks

I mean, it is french national tradition to gently caress up french. It's right up there with riots, dunking on Belgium, and pretending foreigners still need to learn french. Also, can't speak to cobra or crocodile but rattlesnake and gator are swell.
