    I confess, after reading the comments (and looking at the preview), I didn't dare click on it.

    Why would you even grill bread only to soak it in liquid. For that matter, why bother melting the cheese?

    That video is a perfect example of why 'molecular gastronomy' is dumb and the shit your parents made in the 70s is actual Real Food.

    That depends VERY strongly on whether the shit your parents made in the 70s was tuna casserole or some of the weird as fuck coked-out shit from 70s dinner party cookbooks.

    bad cook book photos, sure, but some of them might be pretty tasty when executed correctly.

    The cheeseburger pie, lime ribbon delight, and chicken fricassee and dumplings look like they could be pretty good.
    You'd definitely need to alter the recipe of what is there on display, but those look doable.

    My Pops also makes some kind of taco beef Bisquick pie. It's actually pretty good. It's kind of a quiche, but not

    Yeah I ain't gonna lie but that cheeseburger pie looks like something I'm gonna try to cook for dinner my damn self. I'd try most of those.

    Theres nothing wrong with most of these things. The 'pink yogurt' look in the first example can be something as simple as strawberry jello mixed with whipped cream. That pinapple thing looks damn good...

    This heinz caramelized onions and bacon flavored ketchup doesn't taste like onions or bacon. It just tastes like overly sweet ketchup. I need to stop buying fake bacon flavored things.

    the only flavoured ketchups I've ever known to be anything other than complete garbage

    were "Spicy" and "Smoked"

    I don't know man, I think if you're looking for a bit more excitement in your Triscuit eating, you may be looking for excitement in the wrong places.
    Maybe step it up to medium hot sauce on your next Taco Bell run.

    And amazing food from the sounds of it. I'd say all three options they went to justified themselves.

    I'm curious to try the balsamic vinegar version but I feel like I wouldn't use it enough to justify buying a whole bottle.

    The local kroger carries sushi now.

    I've only tried their spicy tuna (I think?) roll I think.

    It was good though.

    Now the kraft bacon flavored ranch dressing, that delivered on fake bacon-y flavor, you can do without the bacon bits on salads with that.

    Due to a 25 year drought of Arby's in this province, I am constantly craving curly fries but unable to get them. I think I may bite the bullet and make them myself. The spices should work, even if I don't have a spiral cutter and just do straightish cut.

    I tried their four cheese bacon stuffed crust. I just preferred regular stuffed crust. I still want them to bring back the ultimate stuffed crust from years ago. The ring on the outside crust. Plus a thin layer in the rest of the crust. Not to eat with any regularity, but just a distant memory of the pizza.

    you know what's challenging? not being able to eat garlic or onions (or powders or extracts thereof)

    given the obstacle and still wishing to prepare delicious savory meals, what do you use instead to replicate the divine taste of caramelized onions and roast garlic?
