I have before and would again, assuming that's just a "steak" egg and cheese bagel. They aren't particularly gross looking (at least, compared to most things posted in this thread) aside from the excessive sauce leaking out the bottom of yours.

Tomatoes are fine in almost all cases but I absolutely cannot stand the smell or taste of tomato juice or tomato soup. I somehow always seem to end up sitting next to the one guy on the airplane ordering the can of tomato juice. The smell makes me want to gag. Tomato soup elicits a similar reaction if it's the cheap canned kind that have the same smell and are more like hot tomato water, but I have seen some at restaurants that weren't bad, so they get a partial pass.

My Lovely Horse posted:It always struck me as a German thing v My experience with German pizza rules is no matter where you order it from, it will come in the same box (that orangeish one with the chef picture on it) and will be room temperature/cold because it will take over an hour to get to you even if you're only a few km away. The dough will usually have a pretty chewy/mushy texture too. I don't get it because I've had great pizzas in actual restaurants, but German delivery pizza is mediocre at best, even frozen pizzas are better 9 times out of 10.

Samizdata posted:I generally just eat sushi as an excuse to eat wasabi. I find wasabi disgusting. I like spicy but it has a very unpleasant type of spice to me. The one time I went to Japan and got sushi the experience was entirely ruined for me because everything had wasabi spread under the fish or whatever on top of the rolls. Yeah I know you can order it without it but I didn't know it came on it by default.

That's like a sit-down restaurant having a call center you can text your order to to replace a waiter. Surely that costs more to the company?

SUPERMAN'S GAL PAL posted:Eh, there's some definite afp versions of this with mushy, oily batter, soggy fries, and stale hushpuppies, but I think what it needs is a heaping pile of "crumbs." No clue if this happens up north, but chain fast food seafood places down south used to dump a liberal portion of the bits of batter that would drop off in the fryer and give you more if you asked. A whole box of crunchy, oil-soaked, fishy-tasting batter. My first two years of college were afp as gently caress. That's the best part of going to long john silvers. Sometimes you just need a large dose of salt, grease and fish, shrimp and chicken which somehow manage to all taste roughly the same.

How does a person even get this way? Kid? My ~60 year old father still does this. My mom will be annoyed if it happens but will still eat it if she has to. Anyway maybe he saw too many cooking shows talking about "one pot wonders" and figured if you can make some things good that way, might as well use that method for everything.

My brother makes them two packs at a time and uses both broth packets, and then will add salt periodically throughout eating it. He says he needs to "taste the salt" in each bite or he doesn't enjoy it. He also puts a good amount of it on pizza (but not before patting the grease off with paper towels, can't be unhealthy you know).

I think a lot of customers of chain restaurants/diners etc expect to season their own food, so the cooks don't. Like if you go to beef o bradys or something and try to eat a french fry as it is, it's going to be pretty bland and you have to salt it yourself. They are probably sick of picky eaters complaining their food is "too spicy" because you sprinkled a little pepper on it so they went into "here's the cooked food, do whatever to it i don't care" mode.

If those have been heated up I would, easily. I've never had room temperature corn so that might even be fine too. There's nothing wrong with "loose" corn inherently, it just looks sloppy on other dishes.

If this were the pet peeve thread I'd post "people who post a bunch of acronyms/jargon without saying what they mean". I'm not a canned food expert I have no idea what DMS is. Canned vegetables in general suck but at least in my experience corn is one of the more tolerable varieties of canned vegetables. Canned green beans though, those are an abomination.

My Lovely Horse posted:I had that with a bagel once. loving thing was maybe half filled and the rest completely dry, but you bet the fillings were piled high in that half. I don't know why I keep trying. I keep thinking "well, this one looks kind of thinner than normal, maybe they filled it evenly this time", but no, it's still only half-filled, just with half the fillings as usual. I know why they do it (can't see the back half of those sandwiches before you buy them) but come on. I mean, you could say "stop buying your lunch from a vending machine you idiot" but I apparently haven't learned my lesson yet.

Why is it such a "thing" in food photography for only a tiny portion of the food to be in focus and everything else be blurred to hell? At least in that case it makes the food look much worse than it probably actually was (which, to be fair, may have been exactly what you were going for but people do it all the time to things that are supposed to look good, which is what I don't "get").

I know it's not really fair to do so considering who prepared it, but I'm pretty set on never trying okra again after having it for the first time at a golden corral (battered+fried). I don't mind some strongly flavored vegetables like brussel sprouts but the okra I had was just foul.

Kumaton posted:Holy poo poo would. I've had this kind of burger and, while delicious, is very impractical. I mean, look at this thing: https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/the-ballyhoo-grill-gainesville?select=3IfLInAdWHHWCjKzNM3GGQ I had to basically disassemble it, make one grilled cheese and use the remaining 2 breads to put back on the bruger as the bun, then eat the sandwich individually, then the burger just to be able to take a bite out of it. Anyway I definitely would try that grilled cheese pizza but knowing pizza hut's past gimmick crusts, what you actually get is going to look much less appetizing than that picture and you'll wonder why you just paid 20 dollars for it.

I definitely would eat that but I don't know why it has to "explode" that much. There's no way you could eat that and not just make a huge mess. If they used thicker cheese or just used less than in that video I would without hesitation.

ACES CURE PLANES posted:They're really not bad at all. You can get a huge box of them for dirt cheap at your local big box store and they're plenty tasty. The only downside is no skins, but the tradeoff in effort and time makes up for it a bit. Yeah, I mean the real kind is definitely better but it is a pain in the rear end to make, at least compared to something as simple as "heat up water, stir flakes in, it's done". The taste and texture is a bit of a downgrade but as you say the tradeoff is worth it unless you're trying to impress somebody.

I'm not sure about "great", but it is probably pretty good. I always think it's odd how asian street food is considered to be something to be sought out, whereas if I saw a street food vendor in the US I would look at it like the rat burger vendor in Demolition Man.

I think, as with all things, there is a range in quality in the category. There's the established food trucks that are basically mobile professional restaurants, and there's the guy selling questionable fish in the middle of a forest. I run into the latter a lot more often.

I don't know what people are expecting from his restaurants other than generic overpriced poorly prepared food. He's not Gordon Ramsay, he probably hasn't cooked a meal himself in his life. I don't really consider his lovely restaurants as a mark against him since it's probably not significantly better or worse than any other hotel owner's attempt to brand their own restaurant.

Aesop Poprock posted:I don't even know how this is supposed to work structurally. Wouldn't the hotdog part just rip off the moment you tried to pick up the slice with it? If you wanted mini pretzel dogs with pizza for god knows what reason it seems like it would make more sense to just buy them seperately. Who wants a pizza with the crust ripped off? I've tried most of those segmented crust gimmicks from pizza hut and they never look much like the picture (neither does the pizza though). They are more firmly attached than you'd expect and I think they are supposed to be aimed at people who eat the crust first. The only pizzahut "specialty" crust worth getting is plain old stuffed crust and I wish they'd stop messing with it.
