Food that feeds drunken snow trash. Someone up there one day drank about 40 beers, and decided that he wanted some cheese and gravy on his french fries, and dump lots of salt on it too :gonk:

Disgusting.

I'm quoting this on the other side of menstrual blood cookies.

Look at those cookies, then think "I thought that fried potato, cheese and gravy was disgusting".

Haggis, the national dish of Scotland.

Sheep's heart, liver and lungs, ground up, mixed with onion, suet, spices, cased inside a sheep's stomach, and boiled for 3-4 hours.

Absofuckinglutely delicious with some mashed potatoes and mashed turnip.

You want :scotland:? You got it.



Skirlie. Oatmeal and onion, fried in beef dripping. You mix that with a little fat, suet, bread, put it in a sausage casing, you got a white pudding.




Scottish cooking is basically "Find the cheapest ingredients you can, fry it in fat, blot it a little, and enjoy.

Besides, last I checked, wasn't out national dish Indian curry of some variety or another?

Tikka Masala, because it was invented in Glasgow. The restaurant that invented it is still open, you can still get the proto-tikka. It's really good, actually.

"Kapsalon is a Dutch food item consisting of fries, topped with döner or shawarma meat, grilled with a layer of Gouda cheese until melted and then subsequently covered with a layer of dressed salad greens."

It might look awful, but that sounds loving delicious.

I'm kinda happy now, since I'm in Scotland. Scottish traditional cooking is "Find the cheapest ingredients you can, and either fry or roast them."

I can't even think of anything that would be horrible-sounding outside of haggis. I mean, cullen skink, tattie scones, Arbroath Smokies...all good.

I guess there's Irn-Bru, which constantly terrifies non-natives with it's sugar content. It also outsells Coke in Scotland regularly.

I think the cheapness factor is the main draw. I've never seen anyone buy it at a supermarket, but a friend of mine who worked at a Wal-Mart in a not-so-great part of Portland said people would often buy several cans of it at once – at something like 89 cents each, it's one of the most cost-efficient ways to fill up a sandwich or make a spread for some crackers.

Potted meat toasted sandwiches is what got me through college. They cost like, a few pence each, yet kept me going for hours.

Corned beef hash is the ground up hangover cure in a can, if you get corned beef it's pastrami without the pepper. Usually a bit thicker slices. Any decent deli has it.

Well, in the UK, corned beef is the stuff in the can, corned beef hash is when you mix said ground up stuff in the can with potatoes.

Since someone mentioned it on the last page, Scottish Tablet. It's basically a slab of sugar, butter and condensed milk boiled together.

It tastes incredible.

It looks a bit like fudge, but the texture is totally different. Fudge is soft and chewy, tablet is kinda powdery and crumbles.

Yes, I realize it's a personal preference thing that puts me at odds with practically every US citizen on the planet. That much straight ketchup is disgusting, and people do it all the time.

I love horseradish for the fact it makes a good Caesar a great Caesar. Speaking of which, I guess the Caesar is a pretty gross sounding drink..


Vodka
Clamato Juice (clam broth and tomato juice mixture)
Worcestershire sauce
Tabasco Sauce
Salt & Pepper
Celery Salt
Lime and/or Celery Stock
Jigger or Shot Glass
Cocktail Glass

So you rim the glass with the celery salt, but I've seen people use steak spice, you can also buy pre-made "rimmer" which I prefer because it's more flavorful. You mix all the above in the glass but here's some other things to add to jazz it up, horseradish, pickle brine and a little lemon juice really adds flavour. Then you add your fixins, I like a pepperette, a dill pickle, olives and pickled asparagus but I've seen some pretty intense things like a little cheeseburger or bacon. Tastes delicious and it's my drink of choice but I have to admit that nothing sounds appealing about clamato, horse radish and pickle brine all in the same concoction.

Isn't that just basically a bloody mary? :confused:
