Please tell me you made that up in a misguided attempt to be funny.
Because it’s delicious?
That looks completely repulsive. The macaroni looks like blood vessels embedded in the flesh of some unclean bog creature.
It reminds me of boob worms.
I could be talked into eating a freshly baked powdered doughnut, but those packaged things are always dry and awful.
I have no idea what purpose olive loaf serves, but clam juice is key. It’s not like you drink it, silly. You cook with it. Great for chowder.
The thing I cannot understand is green bell peppers. They make me gag, why can you people not wait until they have ripened to a proper yellow or red color and are actually tolerable?
My worst green pepper experience was when my mother used them in a tomato aspic abomination. I used to love tomato juice, drank it all the time, but somehow the aspic straight up put me off it like the way expired yogurt puts one off yogurt for months.
It is also a vital component of the best damn sandwich on the planet, the Captain Nemo’s CONQUEROR. Liverwurst, Muenster Cheese, Salami, Eggs, Sauerkraut Dressing, Captain’s Secret Sauce, Lettuce, Tomato and Onion on a crusty Gonella bakery roll.
I haven’t had one since moving from Roger’s Park, but I really want one. Cap’n Nemos is one of those places that could be massively popular and franchise all over the place, but is perfect being tiny.
MOL, I think this is quickly turning into a “food I don’t like” thread.
I’m pretty sure green peppers are already ripened. That’s what they are: green peppers.
I know, dear, I know. I knew this would happen when I started the thread, but there have been some who kept with the spirit of the thread.
So far I’m adding to my list:
- Those awful candies in dark brown wrappers whose name we can’t agree on, but whose awfulness we can
- Olive loaf
- Canned chicken
- Bac-Os
- Clamato beer (which I don’t know if it counts as food, but we’ll count it anyway)
- Something else I’m forgetting
No, they’re slightly unripe bell peppers that will eventually turn red, yellow, orange, purple, etc.
Yes and no. Green Bell Peppers are indeed fine to eat, but we choose to eat them at a not fully ripened stage. If you let them progress further, they get red. That does not mean that red bell peppers are necessarily fully ripe green bell peppers, however, sicne they can be grown in different colors.
I’m not sure what this post means, or even if it was responding to me. I do know that all red peppers were, at one point in time, green peppers.
Well, I’ll be damned. I think the truth is somewhere in the middle.
That’s exactly what I said.
YES!
A family tradition. In October, my mother makes an English-style fruitcake, soaks it in brandy, then lets it marinate in a cool dark place until December.
It’s amazingly good, seriously.
I always used to think okra had no right existing. Until an Indian friend showed me how to make “dry” curried okra this summer. I love it so much I am putting okra in my garden next year. " Bhindi bhaji" if anyone wants to google it.
I also like (good) liverwurst, brocolli, green peppers, convenience-store donuts and Clamato beer.
But fake cheese, olive loaf, canned chicken, bacon bits…UGH.
Micheladas (clamato, beer, & other stuff) are just beer-based bloody Caesers. If you like Bloody Caesers, then you’ll probably like Micheladas. They are not gross at all.
The only enjoyable vegetarian meals I have eaten are Indian. I can believe that a good Indian cook can make even the evil okra edible.
