    Reminds me of when I was in college and energy drinks were kicking off. One of the worst tastes I can remember. A $.50 can of Steven Seagal energy drink. The thought almost makes me wretch.

    BAD FOOD THREAD ALERT

    Wawa has brisket sandwiches now.

    BAD FOOD THREAD ALERT

    Huh.

    How is it? I am in THE WAWA ZONE so I go to them a lot.

    I'm not sure how this would hold up for them but I am willing to give it a shot.
    It's standard Wawa. It won't knock your socks off, but it's solid.

    BBQ sauce overpowers the taste of the meat though.

    Sounds good enough to try then!

    Just worried it would end up too soggy or something but without that worry I'm in. I also like things that taste extra saucey so that works for me.

    Health concerns noted, and why the fuck are you going to a fast food place if you're worried about your health, it's low key rad that vegan people can go into a Carls Jr. and order a sandwich. I've got some vegans in my life and it isn't easy, and yes it's a choice they made and blah blah blah judgment, but still.

    On the subject of Fast Food and Health Concerns, looking through the Taco Bell website (because I wanted to find new and exciting ways to poison myself with pseudo-Mexican food) and I saw this icon pop up on their menu page.
    ea7znbb6c4lg.jpg
    That's a warning that this item has a lot of sodium in it.

    And I found myself wondering: how bad is it when even Taco Bell is like "Hey, buddy? You sure about this?".

    I'm trying the Carl's Jr. Beyond Meat burger right now and it looks and mostly tastes exactly like a fast food beef burger. I say mostly tastes because the aftertaste is sliiiightly different from beef, but not enough that I'd probably notice in a blind taste test. Chews the same too, especially with all the burger fixin's. The only thing that's off a hair is the smell, although that's masked by the char to some extent and you can only really smell the difference if you get your nose right up in it.

    I guess all that coconut oil is for good!

    I've been getting a hankering to try making my own burgers soon, mostly because i've been watching babish videos

    use some of my pickles and whatnot, maybe make some more onion relish to go under the cheese as it gets melted onto the patty, make some more of the mayo/bbq/sweet relish sauce

    it'd be pretty nice. I'm thinking of getting some beef mince and pork mince and mixing them together for the patties, just to try it, and because those two are available at the chinese butcher next to a local grocer

    Carl's Jr and Hardee's are the same place, more or less, except that Hardee's doesn't seem to have this burger, which I would absolutely like to try. I'm excited for lab grown meat to become the norm at some point in the future space communism that I desire.

    In other bad food news, I made a big batch of really crappy garam masala chicken and veggies for lunches this week, it's gonna be terrible. I made coconut curry chicken and veggies a couple of weeks ago and turned out okay except I let the veggies cook while the sauce simmered down so it was food paste by the end, but that tasted real solid and this seems to just not be thick enough, but I ran out of coconut cream so there was nothing to be done.

    I've also had the beyond meat burger (at a british burger place called Honest burger).

    It's just as good as any burger you can buy from a supermarket to eat at home. As in I would move over to it and keep real meat burgs for when I eat burgs at a nice burg place

    I think the Beyond Meat patty works best in a fast food setting, it's a very uniform patty and doesn't quite taste like a ground beef burger I'd make at home, but neither do other fast food burgers. It falls perfectly into line with the uniformity you see in like a Whopper or McDonald's quarter pounder patty.

    I've tried the Impossible Burger once at Umami Burger and that was a real contender for indiscernible from real ground beef. And I'm pretty sure they've refined their recipe since I tried that burger.

    Also god I already miss Popeye's spicy chicken why did I ever decide to eat vegetarian fml

    That may be! But I like other stuff at Popeyes too. Red lobster never did it for me. Everything always tasted frozen and reheated and as someone with ready access to fresh seafood, the difference just doesn't work for me

    Ah, that would be the difference then.
    Being a Colorado person, fresh seafood tends to be a bit more than I like to spend on food. But, the Red Lobster lunch menu is more in my price range. Especially since it comes with unlimited biscuits.

    Totally fair!
    There's a place in town that makes their own awesome biscuits and has fresh crab crab cakes and poached eggs and a spicy crawfish cream sauce on top and it is HEAVEN and if anyone is ever in baton rouge let me know and I'll point you in the right direction

    Sometimes you find some really good combos that way! I mixed some day old rice with spinach and canned tuna and feta and spinach and steamed broccoli and italian dressing and it was very tasty.
