Jimmy and Joe's. Best Slice I've ever had. Not the best Pizza, but the damn best slice.
How does that work? Does it stop being good after 1 slice?
Maybe its the best pizza he can get ordered by the slice. Really nice pizza places (ie sit down ones) won't let you come in and order just one slice, since they make all pizzas fresh to order.
I had some durian ice cream at a Thai place nearby. The waitress tried to advise me against it, but I insisted. It wasn't that bad, I ate all of it. It had a unique flavor that I can't remember, but I would certainly try it again. My (now ex) girlfriend refused to kiss me after that untill I brushed and rinsed with Listerine.
Andrew Zimmern refuses to eat durian for what its worth.
Oh I get it. The only pizza place I really go to is Zachary's in Berkeley. I'm sure you know it because it's the best pizza ever and you live there. They serve slice and whole.
I bought a durian at 99 Ranch when I was in college. It tastes a lot like custard and looks like an alien's fetus. It starts out smelling like a mountain of the nastiest gym socks you could imagine and gets stronger and stronger as it thaws (they generally sell them frozen).
My housemates wanted my blood for that one, but it was worth it.
Really? Typically durian (in toronto at least) comes in its spiky, frozen, unpeeled form so the smell is really not there. I hate durian, my mom loves it and occasionally peels one and freezes the chunks for later consumption. Smell and taste is yucky.
You either love durian or you hate it - there's no middle ground with Durian.
South East Asians love durians, but those that don't, hate it. Those who like it, love the smell, taste, sweetness, and fluffiness of the fruit. And those who don't, hate all those basically.
Once you've eaten an actual unprocessed raw durian (not ice cream, not juice) and like it, you're hooked for life. If you don't like it, you'll also dislike the thing your entire life.
Most people who like durians also prefer the whole ones with the spiky shell since it keeps the smell and fermentation of the juices inside just right - unlike the frozen ones. Once you've tasted the shelled ones you opened yourself, the frozen ones just don't come close at all.
For those interested in trying out durian, it's better if you are the types of people who appreciate niche food like the nasty smelling cheese (limburger for one). It will taste alien since it doesn't smell nor taste like any fruit you've ever had so your best bet is to prepare eating durian like you're especting to eat natto, goat cheese, limburger, stilton, or marmite.
Don't set your expectation to something like rambutan, lychee, peach, or any of those refreshing fruit.

Yeah, that's what I meant. They take a slice from a pre-baked 24' Pizza "blank" and add your toppings and rebake, with makes the crust perfect and the cheese bubbly. Their whole pizzas aren't ever as good, still great though. Not as good as a Rosati's or Oregano's or BJ's.
The best Pizza I've ever had was in Chicago at a place called My Pi, I'm a huge fan of deep dish, but I am a supporter of Pizza in all it's forms.
Also, the alleged Best Pizza in America is in downtown Phoenix, though I have yet to go, Pizzeria Bianco. It looks great, but it's always busy and open for like seven minutes.
And feathers. Little half-developed fetus feathers.
Good durians are really sweet - sweeter than honey itself at times. Imagine eating a raw avocado-like fruit that tastes sweeter than honey itself.
The problem is the smell - it's a really pungent smell that even nasty smelling cheese fans can be turned off from (or maybe perhaps turned on ?).
I prefer the Malay version since it's so much sweeter than the Thai version but it also has a more pungent smell than the Thai's.
However, since I've associated that pungent smell with the addictive sweetness of the durian, I don't really have any problem with it anymore.

Yellow corn was declared unsafe for human consumption and you fuckers still eat it.
Say what?
And Bama strawberry preserves are like little dollops of heaven on my biscuits.
He's just racist against yellow vegetables. You should hear his crazy rantings regarding baked squash - both entertaining and horrifying.

Had to look this up.
So, if this is what your talking about, it used to be true but that changed about 106 years ago . Most feed varieties are still yellow, which I guess is why the info persisted, and the corn we eat has a different pedigree that is mostly white corn.
Alternately you may be talking about something from The Omnivore's Dilemma or something I don't know.
MadTV hasn't been funny since Will Sasso left. Still a better track record than SNL, which hasn't been funny in 14 years, Lonely Island stuff aside.

And I see you're going for an abortion joke, but it would be more like letting a woman menstruate into a sanitary napkin than aborting an embryo.
I'm sorry to be mean like that, though.
The strangest food or drink I've ever had was something called a Moose Nugget Mocha. It is not strange for its content or preparation-- it's just a normal coffee drink-- but for the fact that someone thought it would be a good idea to name something to be eaten after a term for moose feces.
Living in Alaska is an adventure in culinary gimmicks. You should see what we sell the tourists here in Juneau.
I admit that it's pretty tasty, though.

"Dude, that egg has half a bird in it!"
"It...uh...yeah, I know it does, it's the newest thing..." *throws up*
"Did you just puke?"
"No, I...uh... I said "BALUT"... that's what they're called!"
