Brawnfire posted:Spain's rations aren't exactly generous There seems to be a huge difference between MRE-style rations from countries that expect to send soldiers outside of the country and those that do not. With the ones that don't, you either get many tiny packages of things with short shelf lives, produced locally, or just a few long shelf life items with the expectation that they'll be supplemented by something from a field kitchen, base canteen, or other means. There are even a few that don't bother bringing their rations when they leave their own borders and buy them from whoever they deploy alongside. With how small most European countries are, if you're in a training area you're probably close enough to a military base for some rear end in a top hat to drive a van full of food out to you every day. If you're in combat inside your own borders, chances are food is going to be the last thing on your mind for the foreseeable future. How do the Swiss do it, I wonder. Italian food for the Italians, French food for the French, German food for the Germans, and is there Romansch cuisine?

This reminds me of the church I grew up in. Every so often they'd have a hot dog sale to raise some money. A few bucks for a dog, can of pop and some chips. The vegetarian option was a carrot on a roll. Not even grilled or anything. Just a raw(?) carrot in a hot dog bun. Maybe it was boiled a bit? Years after I stopped having to attend I heard they switched over to tofu dogs or something.

I have some in my desk right now. They're pretty good actually, my only issue with them is the acid content is severely variable. One you bite into might be super tart, the next is just boring and sweet. It's not flavor-dependent. One grape one will be sour and the next grape one will be sweet. It's very distracting They do make a "SOUR BIG CHEWY NERDS" too but it's all the cheap chemical-plant flavors, the blue raspberry/green apple/watermelon zombie wasteland Anyway I like Nerds Ropes, they're tasty and have more tooth than the big chewy nuggets. If only there were some sort of hybrid abomination that featured the bite characteristics of Nerds Ropes with the form factor of Big Chewy Nerds, fake e:

We laugh at all the terrible old recipes for bananas, but what happened to them? At what point did we decide bananas shouldn't be cooked at all and instead should only be eaten fresh, raw, and no more than 3 days before they turn brown, mushy, and inedible.

AlbieQuirky posted:A) Different variety of banana, maybe Gros Michel taste good with mayonnaise on them Gros Michel have a more pronounced banana flavour, but overall taste very similar to Cavendish. Plus those recipes persisted well into the 70s, long after Gros Michel got phased out. I think what happened was people got exposed more to different cuisines, and a bigger variety of ingredients became available to an average household. Bananas with mayonnaise simply couldn't survive the competition.

gschmidl posted:Put overripe banana in oven, bake until peel is entirely darkened, open, add ice cream and cinnamon, eat! Grilled bananas are also great. Take a banana with peel still on and cut it down the middle (along the concave side). Not all the way through, you want to keep the bottom skin intact. Pull the peel and banana slightly apart, stick chocolate in and wrap the banana in foil. Stick on a grill or campfire for some minutes until banana is warm and chocolate is melted. Anyway, self own content:  This is honestly one of my favourite nostalgia foods. It's elegantly named "potatoes in milk". You can only use summer's first small potatoes for this (they taste very different than regular ones) so it was something I always looked forward to, because it means summer is here. You boil potatoes, pour out the water, put in milk + butter spring onion + salt, let it come to boiling point and eat.

For something so simple it really is delicious.

Self-quoting since no-one picked up on the bottle of peanut butter-infused whisky that's been sitting in our kitchen since forever. I'm still terrified to try after a nightmarish experience involving Jim Beam and green apple flavour, designed by a future anti-human AI to replicate the taste of apple in the matrix. The label says it's 70% WOOF..

The Jim Beam cherry whiskey tastes like cough syrup and caused me the worst abdominal pain I've ever felt, and I am no stranger to pain. Just give the bottle to someone you don't like very much. Flavored whiskey is never worth it.

I'm an aficionado of disgusting liquors. I actually enjoy many of the various flavored Jim Beams that always get dunked on in this thread. I have willingly purchased Red Stag before. I will drink Fireball if it is placed in front of me. I have a mental index of which cheap vodkas are drinkable by flavor. My standards are pretty low. This PB whiskey was pretty gross and I would not drink it again. I also tried the competitor brand and would not drink that one again either.

Pulling off all those little rooty bits... smelling that geosmin smell... gently caress me, potatoes are excellent.
