My mom's spaghetti plate looks like that all the time, no gag required (although minus the sauce, her and my dad are strict butter+spaghetti+shitload of kraft parmesan only people). Some people really like that stuff.

Yeah, I have to raise my hand and address the court on this one. The only acceptable plate of spaghetti is the one where the spaghetti is hidden beneath a thick layer of Parmesan. Sliced Parmesan on good crackers is the bomb, too.

Is that "poo poo on a Shingle" (dried beef on toast[rehydrated dried beef with a white gravy on toast])? If done properly, it's really good. In fact, in a few "comfort food" restaurants I've been to, it's on the menu. At, like $15 a plate. It used to be "poor food".

When I was a kid we had mice in our trailer, and my mom burned one to death in our toaster. We couldn't afford a new one for a couple of paycheques. I used to take frozen waffles, put my lips around them, and breathe into them to thaw them and eat them like that. It was okay because they were the fancy cinnamon ones and they tasted fairly okay.

Similar story. My wife and I had a deep fryer that we stored in the kitchen beneath the sink (fatal error #1), that we rarely used. There were a string of dinners that we did in fact use it (fish & chips, and a couple of others) so she decided just to keep the oil in the fryer after it had cooled down, and then covered it with it's barely functional storage "lid" (fatal error #2). We live in a 116yo house that has more entrances for mice than probably could ever be quantified. Anyway, on the evening of the next meal that required some deep frying, she took the thing out, placed it on the counter, and plugged it in to warm up. Some 15 minutes or so later, I walk by and notice that it was not only preheated, but happily frying away. Lifted the top, and... yep. Jerry mouse was somehow so turned on by the smell that he decided to take a dip, and consequently drowned, prior to being fried.

My wife freaked out so bad she made me take the whole thing outside to the back vegetable garden, and bury it (while she watched).

so it wasn't too big. To say she was slightly traumatized by the event is probably an understatement.

Anyway, I dug it up and "disposed of it properly" in the Spring. She does not know this.

can confirm the frozen ones are indistinguishable from the fresh

Having grown up in Southwestern Ohio (where either they, or the "White Tower" knockoff) stood about every two blocks on the main drags, I can confirm that they have a unique, and remarkable laxative quality. I still ate them, though because they were cheap college drunk food along with Skyline's coney dogs.

If I even get a whiff of any kind of cooked liver at all, I will instantly dry heave. I attribute this to my parents who forced me to eat it when I was a kid, even after I told them I would hurl, and then they got mad at me when the inevitable happened.

Maybe Cincinnati is weird then. In Dayton the only place I ever regularly got a square cut pizza was Marion's.

This whole thing reminds me of Brits getting irrationally angry about American Smarties though, I don't get what the big deal is.

Cincinnati is weird.

Born and bred in SW Ohio (Dayton specifically), I would have to agree that Marion's and Cassano's were the only two that I remember that were square cut. Cassano's used to be good, and then Marion's became Cassano's quality-wise. If you ever get over to the wonderful "city in a corn maze" that is Van Wert, there's a place called Klosterman's that will take both Cassano's and Marion's downtown and give them a good curb stomping.

Cassano's is selling frozen pizzas now? Anyone try one? Is it crap?

I'm in Cleveland now, and everything here is pie-like, and not really too good.

I miss Noble Roman's deep dish Sicilian.

In TYOOL 2016 Totino's pizza is now square so it fits in a toaster oven pan forcing a square cut. What hath God wrought?

Would! Also, what is it about certain things being eaten at the beach? There's something about that atmosphere. I live in west Michigan and lunch at lake Michigan is my favorite.

There are people who eat freshwater clams. I'm not sure about Lake Michigan, but in many spots on Lake Huron where we used to spend summers, freshwater clams were really easy to find. Never tried one, though. Only used them for fishing bait, and boy do the fish love them (yellow perch especially). I guess, according to some folks I've talked to, you have to "purge" them just like saltwater clams (i.e. put them in a bucket with corn meal suspended in the water, and let them clean themselves out), then boil the gently caress out of them in saltwater before you do whatever final cooking with them you plan to do. I was told they're really tough, but basically taste like saltwater clams. Sounds like they'd be perfect for a clam chowder where you would chop them up into weensy pieces.

I grow a 4ftx4ft patch of cilantro in my veggie garden (along with basil, and dill), and I can definitely say there's a point where "too much cilantro" is achieved. My wife likes a ton of it, and it's usually just too "cilantro-y" for me. Personally, I like the byproduct better, Coriander. Now there's a spice I can get behind.

I'm a filthy foreigner and so I didn't grow up on meatloaf, but I adopted it like I adopted my new country the United States of America, and made it my own.

I skip the bread/crumbs, but instead go with:

3:1 beef to pork
Super finely diced onion, carrot and green capsicum (that's green pepper)
Worcestershire sauce
Sage
a tiny bit of smoked paprika
fresh parsley
here's where it gets weird - a ton of baby spinach
2 eggs
salt
pepper
bacon
ketchup and mustard

first I saute the carrot to get it a little bit soft. then the onion and peppers go in to also soften just a bit.

remove from heat, put in a big bowl and spread it out to encourage it to cool.

mix in the sage, woosta, fresh parsley, paprika, salt, pepper.

beat the eggs then mix them in. mix in the meat.

put the mixture in the fridge to let it cool down more.

roll out a big sheet of plastic wrap

spread the meat out over it, then put the spinach in the middle, then roll it up. voila 'spinach-stuffed meatloaf'.

cover the loaf with the bacon, bake it for a little while.

cover with the ketchup/mustard mix. bake more.

It actually sounds really good. But, I keep visualizing Nutra Loaf which I'm sure probably tastes like something fished out of the drain trap.
