That article describes bakso as "firm" several times. Why is this one so jiggly? :gonk:
I've never heard firm used to refer to any food that is solid. Just firmly jiggly. Like tofu.

Are there any other inversions of the British folksy principle where an American English term is terse and literal and the British English is flowery or cutesy?

My mind is blown that circus peanuts are literally just foam bananas.

With upwards of 2, maybe 3 goons buying circus peanuts beside the normal Halloween rush, that means their supply chain is getting constrained.

Ok, look, if someone is really craving the circus peanuts and cannot find them just use this simple substitution

Buy 1 bag of marshmallows, and one packet of Runts

Empty the bag of runts and separate out the banana candies
Put the candies in a double layer of resealable bags
Smash into powder with a rolling pin or heavy pan

Take one marshmallow and cut in quarters

Sprinkle cut side of marshmallow with reserved candy powder

Let sit overnight to set to proper "old, dry" consistency

"enjoy"

If you want slightly more authentic look, smear some food coloring on the marshmallow before adding the candy powder

Or, if you want to suffer quickly, just mush a few banana runts into a marshmallow and pop the whole thing in your mouth.
Can't find banana runts? Simply perform an acid catalyzed esterification of isoamyl alcohol and acetic acid, water rinse the catalyst, and dry. Add to marshmallows to taste, or until bees start stinging you.

Anything McCormick is going to have sat in the supply chain for longer than a real deal chef is going to tolerate and the bottles are better than a foil packet if you are a packaging hippy but still pretty bad compared to reusable jars and packets.

But you know what I'm just glad you're cooking with spices.

Is that the quest? Contrary to that, I've heard it repeated a few times, though it has "urban legend" vibes to it, that the notorious WW2 "Chocolate bars" in rations were intentionally made gawdawful so that the highest energy and most durable item would be more likely to get saved for emergencies.
They made the chocolate bars god awful so they wouldn't trade them for cigarettes and hard liquor from the locals. We've spent 70 years course correcting ever since: the rations need to be attractive to be eaten and if they're gonna get traded for hard liquor and cigarettes, well that's just a good will campaign so we'll give them to the locals first.

I don't think Dr Oz knows what mac and cheese is but that seems like a reasonable base that is a few substitutions (replace nuts with more beans) and maybe a bit more aggressive seasoning away from being a reasonable veggie sauce.

"Cook broccoli according to package directions" is unreasonably upsetting me. Why is your broccoli in a package.
A variety of produce related developments never really took hold till the 80s or some places maybe the 90s: transport resilient cultivars, convincing the 3rd world to willingly turn themselves back to plantations, irrigating California to the point of affordability, hooking that all up to the global supply chain etc. Your broccoli came from a garden or a farmers market for a few weeks a year but really you're eating it out of a can or maybe a frozen bag if you're fortunate.

Mongolian barbecue is like Subway or Chipotle but you grab your raw ingredients out of a buffet which is meant to be fun and whimsical for normal people else a maximum eater will be either "you can replace this with a list of checkboxes and then I don't need to get up" or else "my food per minute is much better at a buffet where the food is actually cooked."

Some people also get really salty when the cook glares or suggests things don't go together when you come up with a traincrash mixture although this is often a subset of the "put it on the menu" people.

To be fair cold beef broth and tomato soup cake are memory holed for their utter inconsequentiality. Completely pedestrian things to do for no real reason thus falling out of favor.

Beef noodle with a melba toast with candles sticking out is utterly sinister and soup nogs has to be straight out of a "diet" book.

People are real weird about tomatoes.

All "i love em in sauces or on burgers but if it's raw it's an eldritch abomination" or "when I was a kid I hated all tomatoes but then I turned 19 and suddenly I love them"
It's me, I'm the tomato weirdo.

Grocery store tomatoes are weird water balloons with a bad aftertaste. Ketchup is a disgraceful vinegar glaze. But canned romas are the perfect way to add savory to a recipe (that isn't fish sauce) and garden fresh heirlooms and cherries are good in salads.

I don't really see the point. Pasta is already really cheap and easy to make, and 12 minutes doesn't seem very fast. You can get meat sauce cheap in a jar.

Nice! is the store brand of Walgreens. No real relation to Morrisons.
These didn't really go away, just got replaced with a much less packaging dependent method where sauce ice cubes are mixed in with the frozen pasta. The point is some people are absolutely paralyzed when asked to do monumental planning tasks like figure out how much of the sauce jar goes into the box pasta. And occasionally an easy way to get cheese stuffed pasta if you don't have access to any semi-fresh in the fridge section.

That's the worst tomato I've ever seen.

Tiki bowl drinks are fun, although I wouldn't place bets on that monster Hurricane being a well-built tiki drink rather than a syrupy mess.
Pat Os is the classy hurricane choice, it's pretty good as a tiki drink. Size of tiki drink shouldn't influence the quality, they literally make huge vats of it to dispense by mixing liquor and some sort of premix, that's the whole benefit to the restaurant.

You shouldn't chance it but also activated charcoal kind of depends on having free surface area from not being cooked into a gluten matrix or covered in cheese to provide the adsorption surface area that causes a biological effect so you're mostly just eating charcoal for the color and taste.
