Rigged Death Trap posted:In the UK there even the most basic cheddar is actual cheddar. This is true in the US as well. Velveeta is not a cheese it's a cheese convenience product, like dip. Saying "oh you sill Americans why don't you just use real cheese and melt it the right way" about Velveeta is like me saying "Why do you Brits use squash when juice is so easy to make?". It's a thing that makes certain things (mac and cheese, cheese sandwiches etc) easier to make if you're lazy. American Cheese, which people often confuse with Velveeta but is not Velveeta, is like any other cheese, there is bad American cheese (Kraft singles) and there is good American cheese (Boars Head White American). Judging all American cheese by kraft singles is like judging [insert British dietary staple here] by the Tesco value version of it.

Actually, if you've ever eaten cereal in somewhere like a buffet, hospital or hotel you probably also got cereal from MOM Brands because they supply most of the food service industry with generic cereal. Anyways their style of Cheerios is very puffy and crispy, very different from actual cheerios.

The Romans actually sort of abhorred the concept of varied cuisine. They had a very strong cultural pride in the fact that they ate simple meals with simple ingredients and held up things like the heavily spiced food of other empires as symbols of decadence and inferiority. What this generally meant was that they ate a lot of plain carbs dipped in spiced oil and slathered in the ancient equivalent of ketchup. Basically the ancient empire equivalent of the American midwest, the Romans would have approved of loose meat sandwiches and casseroles.

My girlfriend keeps daring me to buy it, and I'm like, "No. That's just about the worst way I can think of to spend $14." If you want to buy strange expensive bottles of beer from Oregon there are better options. Ninkasi makes a beer from yeast that went to space for instance. Honestly though the Sriracha beer is OK, just not worth the money. It's made with a really small amount of actual Sriracha so in reality its just a very toasty tasting stout with a slight pepper finish. If you've ever had any of those darker saisons made with peppercorns that have been getting popular lately it's pretty similar but honestly there are better options if you want a peppery beer. Goose Island Pepe Nero, Ovila, etc are all pretty easy to get in most places and are leagues better.

They used to use banana esters in the production of packaging which legendarily lead to some brands of early TV dinners tasting like bananas if they were left in the freezer too long. This caused a company to have to sell off all of these chicken dinners to another company who claimed their customers enjoyed the banana taste, which seems questionable at best.

It needs some kind of sauce but it's probably not terrible, it's mostly that the photography is rear end. The tofu looks very nice and crispy, and I've had zucchini chips that were very tasty, IDK about the sad attempt at fennel though. It kind of looks like they wanted to pan sear/fry it and then just got lazy half way through and stopped. Also they did it wrong, pan seared/fried fennel is really good but you're not supposed to peel it apart like that, you're supposed to keep it together so the searing gives it flavor and the layers hold the moisture inside. All in all I think what it's really missing is some kind of creamy dip for the chips, more oil/salt/pepper on the fennel and maybe some kind of spicy sweet glaze or drizzle on the tofu. Basically what I'm saying is that if they weren't an idiot they could have fixed this depressing shitstack with ten minutes and a wok.

SpaceGoatFarts posted:A roast beef is a huge piece of meat that you cook once and can later serve cold over the course of a few days, like in sandwiches. I don't know how it works in the US but that's how it's served here and when you order a roastbeef sandwich you don't expect a hot sandwich. A lot of times it's heated up enough to melt the cheese, depending where you are this might involve lightly frying the meat on a flat grill with onions or similar or it might not. In many cases you get a half hot sandwich where it's been heated on a salamander or similar in order to melt the cheese (or the bread and cheese were cooked/toasted/whatever together) and so you'll have roast beef that might be warm on the outside but cool on the inside since it probably was only heated for a couple seconds at best. If you're used to a hot roast beef like a Philly cheesesteak or similar I could see how one made using the above method might be alarming.

If you think Americans who can't cook are depressing the things I saw hanging out with Japanese kids in their early 20's when I was in Japan would make you bleed from your eyes. Did you know in many traditional Japanese circles (or in parts of rural Japan) men aren't allowed to eat many forms of desserts? That's a real thing. But seriously there's a huge problem with Japanese young people not knowing how to cook, it's ultra depressing. Gonna have an entire generation of people with wicked bad hypertension because they can't cook anything that isn't Ramen, curry cubes or frozen TV dinners. A lot of it has to do with ingrained cultural sexism, a lot of the young women I met were like "oh I can't cook, that's what you learn to do when you get a husband and leave all your job prospects behind to raise kids!" and a lot of guys who's opinion was basically "i'm going to live out of the 7-11 until I land me one of them wives that does all the cookin". The one person we met who knew how to cook was a middle aged woman who was a "entertainment promoter" (I, uh, think her actual job was more "strip club" promoter but w/e) who dragged us back to her apartment at like 4AM so she could deep fry octopus.

If you get the old fashioned kind there are a lot more flavors, usually a pink for grapefruit and sometimes a red/green for watermelon but I'm not as big a fan of the old fashioned style unless I'm going to a candy store that's on a pier/boardwalk type of place.

Somfin posted:How dare they open a cold can when they could be using an inconsistent mixing machine to blend months-old heavy brown industrial glop from a sack with only the cheapest carbonated water, also (inexplicably) from a sack Not having a soda fountain is a HUGE red flag when it comes to eating anywhere. They are basically free to acquire because soda companies want you to buy syrup from them and sign exclusivity deals and it's generally accepted that most casual dining places will have one. If you're running any kind of place that serves food and you don't have a soda machine it usually means one of two things: -You lacked the credit or very small amount of money to get one: again, huge red flag for a casual dining place because those kinds of places rarely manage to do more than break even for sometimes several years and if you can't afford a soda machine starting off you're probably hosed, and if you don't have the credit to get one floated to you you definitely don't have the credit to take a loan to keep your place afloat. -You don't have a floor drain: this is also a red flag because anyone who isn't dumb as gently caress and is opening a casual dining restaurant will get a floor drain installed, in many places this also means you can't get taps put in so goodbye any chance of making money on beer. It also ties into the above, where if you lack the money to get a drain put in, the knowledge to know you need one or the credit to get a loan to get one installed, you probably should have done a lot more research before deciding you could run a business.

chitoryu12 posted:I've been to some good restaurants that serve their soda in cans, but they're all in NYC where space is at a premium and some restaurants are so small that they need to pull the table away from the wall to let you sit against it. Island Burgers & Shakes serves it in cans with mason jars to pour into, and they're consistently a good place for a burger in Hell's Kitchen. I should have said, you can not have a fountain if you're a ultra casual lunch counter type of place. At that point you can save money by not having to gently caress around with cups, bags of syrup, etc and just have a fridge filled with bottles or cans. It's just once you cross into a sort of bar and grill or family dining type place you're going to lose sooooo much money not having a soda fountain. People eat like poo poo and expect their drinks to be refilled, or at least expect the option to be presented to them and if you're dipping into cans every time teenage food dumpster Billy wants his coke refill you're looking at possibly losing money on drinks which is the exact opposite of what you should be doing. In places like NY it's different, many places require (as I mentioned before) that the area with the fountain in it be near a drain and in old cities you can't expect to be able to install one or even have the option to do so (historic registers and such). There's other factors too, if you're a take away place and you're right next to a 7-11 or something you can basically write off having to do drinks because unless you can beat the prices at the convenience store/bodega you're going to lose sales anyways. People do it for aesthetic reasons too, I've been in plenty of Mexican places that only did Jaritos and Mexi-coke and even more dumb white people bullshit places that insist on only having one brand of local bespoke soda and/or bottled cold brew coffee because this is Oregon and that poo poo festers here like a extremely nasty strain of flesh eating bacteria.

I can read a post like this and think to myself "I remember living in a trailer in the middle of nowhere, being fed squirrels that I was told were chicken. I remember later in life staring out the window at the desolate Alaskan wastes while I munched on those cardboard-tasting silver dollar pancakes you get in a huge bag for like three bucks. I remember gagging on Aunt Felicity's Calico Hair Casserole every Thanksgiving. I remember eating a hamburger with chocolate and peanut butter cooked into it. Yet despite all the miserable food experiences I've had, I've never lived in a tent and eaten garbage, and for that, I am thankful" I mean, I got kicked out of my house and so instead of couch surfing I found friends that would let me squat in their backyard for several months until my student loans kicked it. It was actually super refreshing to pair all my belongings down to basically nothing and live really simple for a while. So not really hardship just whitepeople.png

Pizza melts are a real thing, I mean, it's usually a thing you get on a dingy east coast boardwalk after playing drunken minigolf on top of a dollar store and perusing a comic book/magic the gathering store's stock that hasn't been rotated since 1999 but is priced like it's 2035. It's not even the worst kind of boardwalk food. One time in the early 00's on the New Hampshire boardwalk I go what was termed an "extreme pizza twist" which was a cooked pepperoni pizza that had been rolled, battered and deep fried. My entire life has been a perpetual quest to find any food that tasted that good again.

I think it's because it's basically a combo of the cheapest and highest protein foods you can buy in Okinawa. I think some crossover is because, at the core, a lot of Marines and Prisoners have similar goals: they are super broke (because soldiers are bad with money and because prisoners often have none) and want food that's cheap, filling and contains as much protein as they can scrape together.
