    so you're lactose intolerant, or just don't like how cheese tastes/feels/the idea of how it is made?

    Don't plants...have to come from seeds?

    Nah Vow's is way weirder

    Not liking all cheese is more reasonable than thinking melted cheese and beef is fine but not when in a tortilla

    It just doesn't taste right

    Cheese and beef is fine in a tortilla, but the cheese can't be melted

    So like, I can go to Moe's or something and get a steak burrito, because they put the cheese on right there as they're making it, and when you eat it the cheese hasn't even come close to melting yet

    Aren't there a couple of 'seed bank' scattered throughout the world, the purpose of which being to be a place where viable seeds of many different crop varieties exist in an essentially sealed environment, preserved in the case of unexpected (or sometimes expected) catastrophe?

    Yup, problem is in our effort to engineer the "perfect" banana, we decided to pick a strain that didn't grow seeds, because who wants seeds in their banana. We mass produced them by using splicing parts of the infertile trees onto compatible fertile ones. (they don't reject parts like animals do). Because the actual fruit is from the infertile genome part of the plant, it too is infertile. Which mean we ain't got no seeds for that species.

    Nobody listens to meeeeeeeeeee!

    Ah, not here, there is a big enough Spanish speaking population here that queso just means cheese.

    I've never even heard of chile con queso.

    That whole artificial banana being grohl or whatever bananas just tells me that we made out pretty good in the deal because the bananas we have now taste way better.

    If I recall correctly, today's banannas are supposed to be mediocre, taste wise

    More flavorful varieties were developed, but were killed off by disease, which they couldn't deal with due to their genetic homogeneity

    Yeah, the idea is that those more flavorful varieties are what artificial banana flavor is based off of

    Which says to me that those "more flavorful" bananas were not as good as the "mediocre" bananas we have now

    Yeah, maybe, but still, if someone Jurassic Parked a Gros Michel I'd eat one. I'd have to know!

    It might be a regional thing.

    I swear there is so much regional weirdness around spanish (really tex-mex) food for whatever reason.

    Like some people refer to tortilla chips as nachos and its just like, man, what?

    Googling it I actually know what it is, yeah. You can find it in glass jars in super markets here but it usually goes under a different name like cheese dip. Stuff is gross, yeah, I don't think any restaurant could get away with trying to serve it here because there is too much good cheap mexican food around.

    While I've personally never seen something on the menu as just "queso" because people here would be like "So it's just cheese? What kind of cheese...? Does it come with anything else like... chips? crackers? man what?"

    Yeah I understood Baroque just fine

    "Queso" here means "the melty cheese that's at a burrito place"

    Yeah, any place that put that kind of cheese on their food here would be out of business within the month.

    Also we should change this conversation or I am going to end up making a mexican dive trip at like midnight tonight.

    I'd totally drink some New Coke if they put it out.

    EDIT: I'm surprised they don't. Novelty flavors are big and "the flavor that was a disaster for Coke" would get everyone to try it at least one.

    Speaking of novelty flavors

    Lay's decided to graduate that fucking awful jalapeño mac & cheese flavor from the contest to big-boy flavor

    to be fair all four of them were godawful but ugh.

    At least the Ruffles side of the company has been cranking out hits lately (loaded potato peels and spicy quesadilla are both amazing, and a couple years back they put out spicy ketchup which was also great though they took it off the shelves after like a year).

    What in the world

    I

    What

    I cannot imagine someone living in America who hasn't tried a Coke once

    Like I get people who tried it and don't like it or stopped drinking it

    But an American adult who has never tried Coca-Cola is baffling to me
