    The only thing wrong with fish and fried lotus and perilla leaf on bread is that there's no sauce

    That's a dry-ass sandwich

    Oh and also that like 90% of popular fish is inherently unsustainable and arguably an environmentally irresponsible food to consume

    Sandwich:1
    Hot Dog:0

    What's the least popular fish that is also the least sustainable? Wanna meet that unlovable fish.

    Someone, I lost track of who and I'm sorry, was going to go to a Midwest State Fair and eat ridiculous nonsense and report back. I need to know if this happened.

    I fear the lack of updates is all the update we will be getting.

    That is all true and has nothing to do with Little Cesar’s installing automated warming ovens.

    No job lasts for ever, and we shouldn’t pretend as if maintaining a job that is no longer necessary is a desirable, sustainable, or ethical solution to the problem of “menial labor is being replaced by automation”.

    you think it's unethical not to use automated kiosks? can you elaborate, please?

    That feels like a maximum bad faith reading. "Not an ethical solution" doesn't translate to "it is unethical to do it", it means "you do not have the ethical high ground for doing it." Denying the positive isn't affirming the negative.

    My read is it is unethical to proceed down the route of modernization and automation without a plan in place to deal with the now displaced workers beyond "Bootstraps!".

    bowenbowen How you doin'? Registered User regular
    I mean we have a plan, just not in place.

    UBI seems to work very well in places it's put in. It changes how people treat work and how they treat labor and seems to work VERY well to address the race to the bottom cog-like nature of modern capitalism and shareholder/corporation stuff.

    not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me

    Maybe add some mayonaise. Maybe fancy it up a bit. I know, add some gelatin.

    You know i really don't want to defend this...but at least its using Knox. Knox doesnt really have a flavor, so all your doing is enclosing ingredients in gelatinated water.

    That's a hell of a selling point:

    Knox - Because at least it doesn't actively taste bad

    azith28azith28 Registered User regular
    Well the purpose of Knox is so that you can make jello with fruit juice if you are allergic to the artifically flavored stuff that jello uses. I know this cause i was allergic to it as a kid, and my mom would use Knox. even with juice it didnt have a strong flavor. without it it had none.

    In one of my insane culinary experiments, I made a Knox/Mayonnaise loaf so I could just slice off pieces of mayo to put on sandwiches. Once you got past the texture it was pretty decent.

  • Options
    E.CoyoteE.Coyote Registered User regular
    At that point you should just cook it down further to get the mayo equivalent of kraft cheese slices.

  • Options
    KakodaimonosKakodaimonos Code fondler Helping the 1% get richerRegistered User regular
    But then it would be cheese like and not mayo like.

    I still want to try the piece de resistance of gelatin based foods.

    Went to order dominos online. Was having an issue and it kept popping up with an error saying something went wrong and to try again. So I did. A bunch. Still not working. After a bit of this, my wife (whose phone number is attached to the account) gets a call, ignores it because she doesn't recognize it, and gets two more calls. She answers on the third.

    Apparently the orders did go through.
    "Ma'am. 25 receipts have printed for your order. Please stop hitting submit."

    Oops.

    Glad we were using a gift card or that would have been a lot of pizza charges.

    because there are just going to be a bunch of full sized burgers, and a group of us is going, i'm also taking a knife so that we can divide up burgers and have as wide a spread of different ones before getting full

    because if i really push myself, I can eat at most 2.5 full burgers

    When I was a college freshman I was able to consume 3.5 McDonald's double quarter pounders before tapping out.

    Now, at 29, a single double quarter pounder is a lot of food.

    I can still effectively unhinge my jaw and eat about as much fast food as I care to buy, but the idea of eating an entire burger at an actual sit-down place is utter madness.

    Dr's orders, due to a recent diagnosis of Hydrops (aka fluid in inner ear) I get to go on a low sodium diet. I've been examining all the food that I love to eat. Do you know what has tons of sodium in it?

    Everything.

    It's not that bad, there's a good amount of stuff that has low sodium, and I'm sure any of you who have had to go low sodium for one reason or another have found a quite decent balance but holy crap, I could consume 5 times the FDA recommended amount in one day easily and not blink. More than anything it's been a massive shift in my thinking over the past few days.

    More than anything that means that delicious bad food has to be prepared by me and not purchased.
