very AFP post here, but I've heated up so many leftovers over the years that I've actually gotten a taste for cooked lettuce (and sour cream, but not avocado)

That'd probably taste better.

Those french fry "corn" dogs are like the #1 food that people outside Korea want to try and people who lived in Korea wouldn't touch again with a ten foot pole.

Having not tried one, I could see it working with some kind of really thin crispy fry and not huge crinkle cuts. Those are literally never good. loving elementary school cafeteria/prison fries.

I don't really see how a greek sauce a greek restaurant makes, given the entire menu. By that logic roughly 80% of Texas-based restaurants are tex-mex/barbecue hybrid joints.

This is actually just what bulk food for catering looks like. I used to deliver boxes full of pre-cooked frozen halal certified chicken pieces. They have the texture of rubber and come in a similar blue sack. You have the option of vaguely fillet shaped chunks or small cubes.

At a tex-mex sports bar I used to work at, our "boneless wings" were fresh cut chunks of chicken breast marinated, battered, and fried in-house. Our proper bone-in wings came in sacks like that, pre-breaded, pre-cooked, pre-spiced, and frozen. They just went in the fryer to heat back up.

I think about that whenever someone gets smug about boneless wings.

Yeah but they don't look like that... very clearly unenclosed area with the sandwiches and the egg sacks

e: and normally I'd be the first to tell you that poo poo tier european packaged sandwiches manage to be way better than US ones, but oh my god, apparently brexit has far-reaching consequences.

Have you people never worked in a restaurant or boiled up a bunch of eggs for snacking? You store them in a container with water. Sometimes with a lemon wedge or something. That's totally normal.

I've worked at loads of restaurants but none where boiled eggs alone were part of any dish

I don't care that licorice is a root, don't put it in my drat soda.


Pre-opened raw eggs sound grosser. Probably also doesn't keep for as long either.

Canada calls the same thing bacon as the US does, and then there's also peameal bacon which is similar but superior to the thing americans call canadian bacon.

I can't tell if that's baked cheese slices, some kind of lovely cream sauce, or mayo

in US grocery stores you can get whole (full milkfat), 2% and 1% (% of the whole container in milkfat, not 2% of the milkfat that is in whole milk), or skim milk (0% milkfat). This is all regular pasteurized (not UHT) and must be refrigerated.

Whole milk is I think something like 4-5% milkfat, so the other ones are like half fat and quarter fat milk.

In my experience, people call skim/0% milk "white water" and generally deride it.

I think this generally how milk is in most of America? Unless you live somewhere weird like Alaska???

When I grew up my family all had a glass of milk with supper. I don't drink a ton of it now though. Once or twice a month I might want a bowl of cereal or a glass of milk with a dessert like brownies, pie, or cake. Our household goes through milk like crazy though. I think my son could keg-stand a cow and drink until it shriveled up and died.

Oh, oh, and while we are derailing, I drink my coffee black and genuinely prefer it that way :smug:

Real maple syrup, like first boil, is a whole other creature than what I guess most Americans (Vermont excepted) tend to think of as maple syrup. Going by the sprinkles and styrofoam plate I'm guessing that's Aunt Jemima or whatever which is just brown HFCS.

It's got mineral qualities, some sweetness, some smokiness. It'd go fine on eggs (not those eggs)

real maple syrup costs about the same and is equally available in the US and Canada.

It annoys me when parents only serve their kids bland poo poo and then complain their kids are picky.

This goes double for vegetables and it seems so ubiquitous. Like our school would would serve canned plain green beans, canned loose corn, “salad” of pure iceberg lettuce, and so on and we’d all throw it away and go “ewwww vegetables”.

And I’d still throw that poo poo away today, because it was just bland and bad.
