You should look into milk, if you think soy is bad, Bucko.

I'm listening to Phish. I HATE EVERYTHING. Although I did get laid at the weekend, and thus my disdain is more pure than yours.

wax 09.26.2006 08:34 AM

there are a few things i dont like, but id still eat them.
i can only think of marmite and something called shirako (?) that i would definetly not eat unless forced.
shirako is some part of a fishes reproductive system. i tried it once when i didnt know what it was and it expolded in my mouth. it was creamy.

Plus asparagus makes one's urine smell truly atrocious.

Amen to that sentiment. We can agree on that.

static-harmony 09.26.2006 08:51 AM

I will never eat a bic mac gawd are those gross.

atari 2600 09.26.2006 08:55 AM

Fast food is not only unhealthy; it also gross, and completely a rip-off.

static-harmony 09.26.2006 08:56 AM

What I like the cheeseburgers from McDonalds they are simply the best.

gmku 09.26.2006 09:20 AM

Hardees burgers are so much better. I love the mushroom and swiss (yes, I know some of us think shrooms are gross but I love them). And with the mushroom and swiss, you don't get the other junk like ketchup, onions, lettuce. Just the cheese and cooked fungi.

atari 2600 09.26.2006 09:37 AM

Hardee's "gourmet" burgers cost more because they use higher-quality ingredients, but they are still a major rip-off, and the ingredients are still cheap ones.

I get fast food like twice a year.

Local non-chain places can be great. They also can be shit, it just depends on the place.
We had this one place downtown that was the bomb called the Blue Moon diner. It folded recently. They were probably spending too muc hon food costs, paid their employees too much or had too many employees stealing. The new restaurant there is higher-priced for food that is not nearly as good or skillfully prepared.

That's one thing I can say for fast food. The quality and menu differ from country to country, but within the U.S., the chains turn out a very consistent product. Everything is on sophisticated equipment to facilitate the assembly line and even someone that is a horrible cook can make the product.

I even shy away from fast food places that have waiters.
I've worked in plenty of those places and I know about the rampant cross-contamination that goes on and that most of the ingredients used are of not all that great of quality. Most of it comes in frozen and far too many side dishes are prepared in a microwave which is just ridiculous. Seriously, to return to a point, you are much more likely to get food poisoning from a place like Applebee's, Ryan's, or Outback than you are from a McDonald's. Waffle House is simply the worst offender imaginable because they deal with raw bacon and don't have to wear gloves most of the time. If you eat there, you have to watch the cook carefully.

For awhile, when I worked at a Chili's in Athens, we got in these steaks from Buckhead Beef in Atlanta. They were amazing. They came in a refrigerated truck and were vaccum-sealed and went straight to the walk-in cooler and not the freezer. Then, we switched owners and, because they were cheaper, started using frozen steaks that sucked.

While working at a Bennigan's as head cook I got a five-hundred dollar bonus once because our restaurant had the lowest food cost of any Bennigan's in the region. This means that the restaurant wasted the least amount of food. Much of this was because I know how to cook to order and I kept the other employees in line...it certainly wasn't the management; they were too busy doing cocaine and trying to get laid* by the waitresses to care about what went on in the kitchen. I move like a cat behind on the line in a kitchen.

To clarify something, they "get laid"* If you refer to it as "getting laid" when talking about yourself, there's an outstanding chance that you don't have sex very often. I have sex with women. It doesn't fall in my lap without effort like it used to, but I have sex almost as much as I'd like to have it.
Hmm...sex talk...maybe someone will read this now.

Rob Instigator 09.26.2006 02:51 PM

gmku, when I am out west I get Carl's Jr. BURGER and they are like hardees and they are so good and they have the same star logo and I love their brugers with mushrooms. mushrooms are the greatest food since cheese.

Everyneurotic 09.26.2006 02:56 PM

i miss carl's jr, there used to be ONE carl's jr joint here, those burgers were awesome!

Massenvernichtungswaffen 09.26.2006 03:56 PM

I love wild mushrooms, but yea canned ones are a bit oddly textured or something along those lines. Wild morels, chanterelles and certain boletes are great.... and a bit of the ol psilocybe in the fall. (halloween)

can't eat much poultry, save pheasant and grouse.

don't eat much factory meat. rather eat moose, elk, caribou or what not. I find wild meat tastes better.

I occasionally switch to vegetarion with the exception of fish being still eaten. I do this to give my body time to get out all the heavier meats. It keeps the weight down too.

I really don't like alcohol at all. I love grass though.

i don't know. i like most foods. I don't like pickles, mostly due to my dislike of vinegar. I find it tastes like what I'd expect bad poison to taste like.

mangoes taste like gasoline and avocadoes taste like shitty clay.

Rob Instigator 09.26.2006 04:01 PM

avocadoes are nature's butter!

Everyneurotic 09.26.2006 04:03 PM

avocadoes are some of the best food in the planet, the thing is that you have to eat them fresh, so they are not mature enough they taste like clay or too mature they taste like plastic vegetable goo.

vegan3punk 02.17.2007 04:10 PM

DO YOU KNOW THAT THEY PUT RED AND BLUE PLASTIC IN THE DIFFERENT MCD'S "HAMBURGERS" ?
