Brits invented a sandwich that is literally butter, white bread, and french fries. I don't think they can claim any sort of moral high ground just on that front.

That said, getting all :byodood: over butter is incredibly silly.

Chip butties are magical and I won't hear a bad word about them. :colbert:

To be honest though, I didn't know that putting butter in a sandwich was a British thing until I moved to the US. I still love a sandwich that's just buttered bread, shredded chicken (still hot from the oven) and a tiny sprinkle of salt.

You should have seen the confusion when I mentioned a "cheese salad sandwich" though. I meant this:



My friends thought I meant cheese mashed up with mayo. It was an awkward conversation until we figured out why the gently caress we were all so weirded out by each other's culinary habits.

There was this sauce called b3. Called that because it was made from Bhut jolokia chillies, with banana and berries. No idea if it's still around, there's a facebook page though.
It was made by a small time chilli grower in the USA called red hawk peppers.
That was amazing on ice cream.

Looks good, I might have to try this.

Yesterday was payday, and I spotted these in the store. They'd been sitting there for well over a month untouched and I figured gently caress it, let's see how bad they really are.



The sweet corn one might not be a complete failure, I thought. Corn is sweet and so is soda, so maybe the flavors would work?

It smelled like canned corn, overwhelmingly sweet and like a sickly reminder of having to choke down overcooked, gummy loose corn at family dinners. The flavor was actually worse, like the entire thing had been pureed with an entire cup of sugar.

Weirdly enough, the bacon one wasn't as bad as it could have been. Maybe my standards have been lowered by all the lovely fake bacon flavoring that's out there. It was like weirdly sweet soda with a strange, smokey aftertaste; not delicious in any sense of the word, but it didn't taste like carbonated bacon bits.

I poured both down the sink.

Pretty much that. Whenever I head to a friends place to cook there's a very good chance that when I ask for a knife to prep with they'll hand me a blunt steak knife and be done with it. My father's a chef, so for me it's common to have access to any size or shape knife I need, and a steel to hone with. But to most of my friends cooking is a chore and they seem to make every effort to make it as chore like as possible.

Ughhhh that is the worst. I'm not a professional chef by any means but I learned how to cook through trial and error and having a couple of good, sharp knives makes things so much easier. Whenever a friend asks me to cook at their place it always makes me nervous because I have no idea what kind of state they keep their knives in, or whether they have more than like, one small pot and a non-stick frying pan.
