Let that sink in for a second.
I can't help but imagine Ninja Bears now thanks to you.Twenty Ninjas said:Bacon!
I MEAN WHO EATS THAT SHIT ANYWAY. It's greasy and disguisting and like half made of fat! You put it on anything and it ruins it. RUINS IT!
Why does this abomination exist. I imagine bears would eat it in order to store fat for their long hibernation. BUT ARE WE BEARS? NO.
NO WE ARE MOST CERTAINLY NOT BEARS. Most of us anyway.
The only kind of salad I seem to like at the moment is fruit salad. For obvious reasons.Longstreet said:And salad. I fucking hate salad.

Broccoli and Brussels Sprouts are a bit like tofu for me. You're a disgrace as a cook if you make it taste bad, because cooked in the right manner, they're delicious, and it's not that hard to just make them come out decent. If they're roasted they are nice and savory, but if you just boil the taste out of them and overcook them instead there's just going to be a watery mushy mess.davidmc1158 said:Man, everyone here who hates tomatoes can give me their share!Love em, love em, love em.
I will not eat the Triumvirate of Evil: broccoli, cauliflower and Brussels-sprouts. Whoever found out those things were edible must have either been dared while drunk or dying of starvation as far as I'm concerned.
Scalloped potatoes. Don;t ask me why, because I can't tell you. The smell, flavor and texture are a perfect storm of disgusting to me for some reason. You like them? Have mine.
As a side note, I will say that I live by the idea of "My plate - my problem. Your plate - none of my business." Like what you like. Like what I don't like. Enjoy it to your heart's content. Just don't expect me to load any onto my plate.

Tofu is another evil, by the way. People have tried to tell me, "It has no flavor of its own in stir-fry. It absorbs the flavor of whatever it's cooked with." Bull. It has a flavor and that flavor is nasty. Of course, I also have a mild allergy to soy products, so that probably shifts things a bit.
At any rate Frission, if you would kindly pass me the tomatoes I'll be happy to pass the broccoli down to your end of the table.![]()
I'm a big fan of both beef-steak and better-boy strains. Slice, salt, eat. Damn they're good. My mother grew dozens of tomato plants every summer and we harvested bushels upon bushels of them. Fresh tomatoes every year. She canned the remainder for use the rest of the year as whole tomatoes or as sauce. Her homemade spaghetti was magnificent. Put them in stews, in marinara sauce, sliced roma tomatoes on bread as authentic Italian pizza, thick slices in a sandwich/burger. (Aw dammit, now you've made me all nostalgic and hungry!)Frission said:Well the allergy would certainly explain everything.davidmc1158 said:How can you eat broccoli?

Anyway on whether I would pass over my foods I can say that it will from my cold dead hands. The seaweed, kimchi, broccoli, mussels, olives and marmite toasts are mine!
No, really those are some of my favorite foods. I regularly just mooch off these foods from others and as an added bonus, no one ever wants my lunch.
Anyway, what kind of tomatoes do you like? Have you tried fresh cherry tomatoes? I think I'll try a favorite food thread.
Well the mirror worked, but not in the way you intended probably.SimpleThunda said:I'm not "using" poor starving kids for anything. I'm putting a mirror infront of you to help you see how you're whining about something that is a luxury. If you can't see the sense in that I suppose it goes to show just how spoiled people have become, if this thread isn't already a showcase for that.Master of the Skies said:Yes, because by giving up our choice in what we have to eat that will totally help them. Sacrifice our choice and the gods will look down kindly upon those starving children.

Let that sink in for a second.
If you don't like a topic, could you try not to use poor starving kids like that? It's not like you're making any suggestion to help them so it's hardly on their behalf.
You're killing me here. I'm going to make sure to get spaghetti for sure next meal.davidmc1158 said:I'm a big fan of both beef-steak and better-boy strains. Slice, salt, eat. Damn they're good.

Not a big fan of cherry tomatoes. Something about their flavor just doesn't seem properly . . . . . tomato-ey I guess.
