I've never willingly eaten anything alive. only eaten a few bugs on accident while riding my bike :downs:

I know Japan has a few examples, and New Zealand apparently has huhu grubs, what other options are there for live food?

This is more "it was just alive and literally got decapitated a second before he drinks out of its neck wound" but I wasn't aware this was a thing until now. It's some Japanese fisherman and a turtle.

The best case scenario of eating a land bug is basically that they taste like a nut of some kind, which is made redundant by the fact that nuts exist. Land insects are just not a very good food

I never really got into eggs on burgers cause it just ends up making the whole thing taste like breakfast to me and I don't generally associate a burger with that. It's not bad or anything it just feels misplaced

Yes, it appears to be wheat toast with cheese sauce. Frozen.

I bought this out of sheer curiosity once and could never bring myself to actually eat it. I'm pretty sure it was abandoned in a fridge several apartments ago

Different brands of chips vary in flavour and saltiness, there's nothing particularly unique about Doritos. Also salt is delicious.

Yes there is? Doritos of any kind are generally covered in a "cheesy" dust that you don't get from any other type of chip. they're very different from a standard potato chip or even other types of corn or tortilla chip

Since my post about the terrible Czech eatery created some amusement, I decided to have my lunch there today. I regret this decision. It was worse than any school cafeteria meal I had. The place was full of old people who I assume are its primary clientele. A faint stench of urine lingered in the air. I decided to go for something which was labeled as beef goulash with pasta. It came with garlic soup with oats.



It tasted worse than it looked. The soup was bland and I forgot it was supposed to taste like garlic while I was eating. It tasted like disappointment complemented by a handful of oats floating near the bottom of the bowl. By the time I finished the soup the "beef goulash" was cold. I've had plenty of beef goulash in the past and this did not taste like it in the slightest. The meat was just dry and tough and the sauce had no distinctive taste other than salty. It was surprisingly thick and starchy. Nothing remarkable about the pasta. While the price was low, the cheapness doesn't justify the terrible food quality. Almost anything I could get for a similar price would be better than this.

Here's also an extra picture of their today's selection:



That's one of the most depressing looking meals I've ever seen. If I served that to anyone I know I'd hope they'd take it as a cry for help

If you think that's a poo poo childhood, he's got nothing on me. One of my favourite "snacks" was to put chewed gum in a mug of water, freeze it, then chip at the ice until I got to the gum and chewed it again. I also ate cat kibble on more than one occasion because there was nothing else I could reach and drank pepto bismol out of boredom.

It's true that America is huge and has super diverse types of pretty much any food you can think of but getting upset about it on this of all forums is pretty ridiculous.

Yes there are, and they are there for good reason you damned heathens..

According to the rules proposed by the Associazione Vera Pizza Napoletana,[2] the genuine Neapolitan pizza dough consists of wheat flour (type 0 or 00, or a mixture of both), natural Neapolitan yeast or brewer's yeast, salt and water. For proper results, strong flour with high protein content (as used for bread-making rather than cakes) must be used. The dough must be kneaded by hand or with a low-speed mixer. After the rising process, the dough must be formed by hand without the help of a rolling pin or other machine, and may be no more than 3 millimeters (0.12 in) thick. The pizza must be baked for 60–90 seconds in a 485 °C (905 °F) stone oven with an oak-wood fire.[3] When cooked, it should be soft, elastic, tender and fragrant. There are three official variants: pizza marinara, which is made with tomato, garlic, oregano and extra virgin olive oil, pizza Margherita, made with tomato, sliced mozzarella, basil and extra-virgin olive oil, and pizza Margherita extra made with tomato, mozzarella from Campania in fillets, basil and extra virgin olive oil. The pizza napoletana is a Traditional Speciality Guaranteed (Specialità Tradizionale Garantita, STG) product in Europe.[4][5]

Having had a bunch of both I can comfortably say that good American pizza is better than good Italian pizza in almost every way

Yes. Also, the idea of "finish your peas before you leave the table or no dessert" is now considered child abuse by this generation of parents.

The massive rise in the number of "picky eaters" who have all sorts of reasons why they won't eat or even consider a vast variety of foodstuffs is almost uniquely a US/UK thing because working parents are raising their kids on fast food and microwavable poo poo to the point where the modern restaurant industry is now dealing with grown adults who bitch and complain because they want mac and cheese or a cheeseburger when they're eating at a fancy restaurant.

The idea of forcing vegetables and fruits on kids as a punishment is really stupid though.It's not child abuse but it's a dumb as gently caress way to try to get your children to like a food. I was never forced to eat everything on my plate when I was a kid because who the gently caress always wants to eat everything on their plate

I don't think taste necessarily has much to do with your parenting. Sometimes people just decide they aren't going to like a thing, and no matter how many times you give it to them they'll still dislike it. My dad had a good upbringing and all that but to this day he refuses to eat anything with condiments on it. Every burger has to be plain, no cheese, no nothing except salt and pepper. Every salad has to be undressed, lettuce only. Foods like pizza or pretty much anything with melted cheese are forbidden. He was even a chef most of his life, so I don't get it, it's just the way he is.

Here's a clip about a british girl who would only eat burnt sausage or something and was planning on being a chef even though she refused to try any of her own food or ingredients. I have no idea why you would get into a field like that if you're totally unable to even comprehend what you're creating.

I love to cook, have done so professionally, and have been told I am good at it. However, more often than not, being single, I often skip meals with some level hassle and drop to the lowest common denominator, as it just isn't worth the time and effort and cleanup for just me.

I teach cooking classes as a part time job and if I'm not cooking for at least my roommate and me I tend to make myself the easiest poo poo possible. Taking the time and resources making a full meal for yourself just seems really pointless unless you're doing it as a special treat or something.

I used to be able to keep my hand in a bit when I did a weekly dinner with some neighbors. Started out with everyone bring a component, one of the neighbors cooks, the rest chip in on cleanup. Then it turned to Samizdata doing ALL the cooking ALL the time, which then turned into Samizdata doing ALL the cooking ALL the time and ALL the cleanup all the time.

Which is why I no longer do the weekly dinners.

My roommate can't cook poo poo so I don't mind cooking even if we share cleanup duties. I left for a week to watch my parents house recently and when I came back the only things he had eaten during the time period was cereal, tuna, and an entire thing of cookies we'd just bought. It was like leaving a 5 year old alone.
