This play-doh looking burger and fries thing served on a bathroom mat



I legit thought those fries were rotten brown bananas when I first saw them. Why are they so large?? This picture disturbs me more than it should.

Do you not have potato wedges in America?

I'm Canadian, and yeah, we have them for sure. But these ones just look so very large and soggy to me. Especially next to that disgusting looking despair burger.

I guess I'm wondering, how much do Canadians care about poutine sanctity. Are there poutine rules?

I'm definitely all for embellished poutines, although I do also love the old traditional kind. I've had a butter chicken style poutine before and thought it was amazing. Would again! My husband and I are making our own poutine tonight....it's definitely going to be a little ghetto since we have no cheese curds, and are using frozen fries. But I'm a huge fan of even the shittiest poutines so I'm excited af.

Also can attest that those Boston Pizza pizza burgers are way better in theory than in practice. I had the slider app version, and they were basically just salty grease pockets.

....it was really loving good you guys. Like I mean, it's a dumb fad, but it was actually tasty. Turns out, all the meat were from a good local butcher, and the cheese was a smoked aged cheddar. Like, it is a p. good twist on sliders on the menu. So, yeah, dumb idea, but executed really well and now I am sad that I don't have more to snark on.

Hey Bunny, you are from Ottawa right? What restaurant is that from? It actually looks and sounds really good

The new craft place at Landsdowne. Went drinking there with goons Friday. I recommend it. The beer is awesome.

Awesome. I'm definitely going to check it out next time I'm down visiting the family.

Speaking of Ontario/Centre of the Universe, I am drinking craft beers right now! I think Ontario's worst craft ever was a smoked bacon stout.

That sounds truly vile. The worst local beer I've had recently was some Ontario craft brewery raspberry wheat ale. I can't remember what brand it was off the top of my head, but it tastes like cough syrup and is disgusting. I always see cases and cases of it collecting dust at the LCBO. Also, gently caress Nicklebrook. I used to get it all the time when I was in college because it was the cheapest beer they served at the campus pub, but it has this heavy vomity aftertaste. Uggh, I'm shuddering just thinking about it now.

A lot of Mexican/Tex Mex stuff is AFP on paper and delicious when you actually try it. Case in point: Elote. Corn, mayo, cheese, and chili powder seems revolting but damned if it isn't fantastically tasty.

Thanks for this post. I came across a recipe for this the other day and was intrigued, but ultimately decided that the ingredient combo was too weird to possibly be good. Now it's happening.

My mom made the off-the-cob version (esquites) for a summer holiday meal a year or so back and I've suggested it for every occasion since (even when that occasion is "Tuesday"). Easter's coming up? Ham--that's a given--and esquites. That's all we need, Mom, I swear. Maybe some wine.

Now I'm in charge of cooking it when I come over, which is dangerous. I spend a lot of time "taste-testing" it, and the serving bowl usually ends up noticeably underfilled. We're growing cilantro this year specifically for esquites.

Ugh, I really want some esquites now. :mad:

edit: This is the recipe.

Amazing, thanks for the recipe. Will report back to the thread when I make it!

I sort of get this. Any time I make a really involved meal I just want a cigarette and to stare at people eating it. The desire to eat it just vanishes.

This is me too. Usually if I spend more than an hour or two cooking some huge meal, I've tasted it so much along the way that I'm already full and completely over the whole thing by the time it's ready

It's garlic, salt, parsley, etc.

The snails themselves are canned and on a higher shelf. There's M'Lord brand and also Store Brand.

Why pay extra for name brand snails?

My Czech grandmother makes homemade escargot all the time, oddly enough. She definitely uses this stuff, and in my opinion her escargot are divine. I like a lot of weird poo poo though. Apparently she buys the brand name because the best escargots come from Indonesia or something like that.

That being said, it is 100% not an impulse buy, and the resulting escargots are 100% anti-food porn.

Jesus Christ. Check out the fine print to discover the horrors of "Jamaican pizza" and "Polish pizza". I wish we had a combination of the barfing smiley + the 1000-yard stare smiley to truly convey the disgust this image makes me feel

See, now that is a Polish Pizza I can get behind. I don't really like pizza all that much at the best of times, so all the pizza abominations in this thread hit me especially hard. The thought of putting cabbage on a pizza is just so wrong to me. Also gives me flashbacks to eating nasty Polish food in ny ex's mom's gross dirty apartment. She was an alcoholic and chain-smoked, so the smell of overcooked cabbage and old cigarettes is traumatically burned into my brain.

Unfortunately I didn't take a picture, but we made pulled pork in the slow cooker a couple of days ago. I guess I must have left on too long becaue it pretty much disintegrated completely into a homogenous paste. We still ate it, because we didn't want to be wasteful, and it also still tasted pretty good, but it basically looked like a big pile of diarrhea. We lovingly referred to it as 'meat sludge' until it was all gone.

Pica is usually caused by a mineral deficiency. You could take a supplement, but why do that when you can import "edible" chalk and clay from Russia?

They even provide tasting notes for each variety! So gourmet!



My anti food porn contribution is that I used to have pica, and that actually seems kinda good to me. I like the taste of rocks.

I love sushi more than anyone I know, but the cheap gas station/grocery store variety always makes me feel a particular brand of queasy. I still buy it from time to time, because I am dumb and forgetful, and it always seems like such a great idea at the time, but I always end up with this sweaty, queasy and naseous feeling halfway through. Just the pictures of the sushi poutine and the waffle cone sushi are giving me that feeling now uggggh.

Not gonna lie, when I saw PP's post I didn't even understand what was wrong with it until I kept reading. I really loving hate pizza tho. I am basically like the pizza tucking guy from the twitter story.

That being said, my husband loving loves pizza and therefore I eat it a hell of a lot more than I would ever on my own (which would basically be never). The worst thing I find about pizza pizza is that half the time when you get it, it is completely undercooked and half raw. It is the only pizza place that delivers to my area past 10pm, even on weekends.

A sushi place near me has salmon roe sometimes, it's like tobiko but the size of a tic-tac instead of tiny grains. When fresh and in season it's amazing. Would I like uni? I've had the chance but never tried it yet. The only thing I've not liked on sushi is octopus. It's just really rubbery and chewy.

From last page, but I don't think anyone answered this yet. The salmon roe is called ikura, and it is the loving bomb and one of my personal favourites. If you like this, you might like uni--they have a similar briny-ness, but the texture is pretty different. Like that other goon said, uni is sweeter and also slightly bitter, whereas ikura is more just briny/salty. I think uni is definitely more of an acquired taste. I loved ikura right off the bat, but it took me a few tries to appreciate uni. That being said, I loving love it now and am sad because very few places around me have it on the reg.

I would say that it might be better with lager instead of an IPA, but that would involve someone making this again, and I'm pretty sure the world can't handle that.
