Ever notice health nuts, vegans, and other such nutcases always yell and scream about how awesome and tasty their peel-scrapings are? I always get the impression that inside each and every one of their heads is a tiny person on their knees sobbing and begging for a Big Mac and a giant chocolate shake.

The tigers all come from Mary's Tiger Farm, in scenic Fanny, New Jersey, next to the tire dump.

Speaking of this:
Remember a while back how Quinoa got super popular all of a sudden?
Well the health nuts and trendy food eaters started demanding so much of it and were willing to pay out the nose for it that the price of quinoa rocketed up so much that poor people who eat it as a basic staple food in Bolivia couldnt afford to eat it anymore. It became more expensive than chicken. The demand also produced large pressures to turn diverse farmlands into monocultures, which quickly erode soil quality and use inordinate amounts of resources.

Dont buy Quinoa. You are literally stealing a poor persons dinner if you do.

Also a direct from noted shitheads PETA:
"Eating quinoa may harm bolivian farmers, but eating meat harms us all."

Does it work out if we just eat Bolivian farmers instead?

Uncooked rice. Just eat huge, heaping bowls full of it. Let the rice swell and burst your innards. A taste explosion. Sit there and grin, feeling your gut rupture, the pain mitigated by the fact you are a pioneer of foodgineering.

Is a dog bowl really any worse than buying a $10 cocktail served in a mason jar

Yes because mason jars are at least fit for human use while apparently dog bowls are not.

Although I strongly suspect the last not because of any inherent poison in the dog bowl's materials but because it's used to hold animal-quality food and the residue might make humans ill if not washed properly. I am not a dog bowl expert, I only studied cat and fish bowls.

Wooden boards are fine for charcuterie/salumi plates and cheese. Putting saucy stuff on there is just asking for a mess.

We have these amazing thing called plates that can be made out of a variety of substances such as plastic, metal, glass, or ceramic. I wish I could elaborate further, but as I said before my expertise extends only to cat and fish bowls.

This (with a third of the cats, if that counts) was actually a quest in Lightning Returns FF13 of all things.

To weakly link that to the thread, Square Enix runs a cafe/bar where they serve food and drinks based off things from the series. I'm actually the right kind of dork to be all for that, but I imagine the concept would be worth a laugh/cringe to some people.

Enormous chicken legs served with tasteless androgynous soup topped with perfectly styled feathered hair in extremely ornate and gaudy paper containers that are too flimsy to contain the serving. Every day they claim they have a new special, but it's just the same slop with some of the ingredients switched around. And every serving comes with pubic hair, but that's just because food service employees are assholes.

I know this is old, but delicious homemade tortillas are the only thing my beloved grandmother was able to teach me to cook (Not through any fault of her own; I just couldn't pick up anything else). They are cheap, easy, and basically the best things on earth.

You can have coffee, hipsters, and broth. You can have the motherfucking Juicero. But don't you put tortillas in a pod. Don't you do that.

Pineapple pork (chops, tenderloin) has been a regular contender in my kitchen for several years. Cook peppered pork in with pineapple chunks, then remove pork to rest, reduce juice with some soy sauce and sugar into a glaze that goes on the pork and is eaten with the pineapple. The pineapple is sweet, tender, and literally bursting with flavor - it's like what you wish fruit gushers tasted like.

I see no problem adding bacon to that mix.

Okay so I'm gonna need your recipe for this because your description just gave my tongue an erection.

And no I have no idea how this is possible.

OK, so I just cook to taste, but here's the basic jist of it:

4 boneless pork chops, try and get some marbled ones (ref: http://slideplayer.com/slide/8699529/), just grocery store thickness for speed, or you could reverse sear a thick bastard
Black pepper to taste
2T oil
One can pineapple chunks in heavy syrup (or just cut up a pineapple, juice half of it, and make a sugar syrup out of the juice and sugar, w/e)
2T soy sauce (Tamari for life) -or- 1T soy and 1T Worcestershire sauce
Some wine would not be a problem or maybe try some apple cider vinegar if this is too sweet
2-4T sugar, to taste

Pre-heat skillet on medium high with oil, drop that pepper on the chops liberally on both sides. Cook the chops, 3 minutes a side, and check for middle to be around 140. If not there, reduce heat to medium-low and flip every minute until done or drop it in an oven or tent with foil or w/e. Just make some nice juicy chops is all, get the little bit of pink left throughout ideally. Move those chops over to rest and don't drain that pan! Drop in rest of ingredients and return to medium-high and deglaze. Reduce, stirring frequently and making sure pineapple gets some turning action. Taste that poo poo and season as you think it needs it, but remember it's going to be getting more intense here so look for balance of sugar/salt/sour rather than intensity. When the sauce reads 218-225 degrees depending on how thick you want this, you have yourself a glaze or something. Get that glaze all over those chops immediately and serve with some teriyaki veggies or whatever you feel like.

The pineapple chunks basically become infused with porky sweetness and are basically little semi-savory candies. They're almost too intense to eat alone and need to be eaten with the pork.

I can't wait to be Hitler later.

This thread has not only given me a very tasty-sounding recipe for pineapple pork, but it has also inspired me to go to a Chinese restaurant in town on payday and gorge myself like a animal. And they serve alcohol, so I'm going to get nicely toasted in the bargain.

I miss this old place we used to have, though. It was filthy, but the food was delicious and they always made sure to put out the freshest, best stuff when I showed up because I believe in huge tips for good food. Back when I worked for the government, I used to tip as much as 50% of the bill because I know the work involved in food service. Nowadays I still try to do at least 20%. That's not too cheap of me, is it? :ohdear:

You're either fishing for pats on the back, or for a tipping derail. Either way, please don't. You know very well the answer to your question.

Or I wanted to know if 20% is good enough considering how lovely the economy is. I don't get why you're being so confrontational.

We must fully investigate this "shrimp" organism. Is it tasty? Will it go with chicken? If we serve it with copious amounts of rice and fried vegetables, will it sell for ten dollars... or two hundred?
