I just returned from a quick run to the grocery store. I was in the frozen food section when something nefarious caught my attention. I didn’t believe my eyes at first. So I read the box three or four times. I stood in the aisle, mouth agape as the horror that I beheld seeped into my consciousness. I wanted to flee the store in terror. But I was too horrified to even move for what I’m sure was only a minute or two but seemed like hours.
What foul creation could inflict such trembling in a full-grown man? Are you sure you are brave enough? Do you really want to know?
Highlight the spoiler box only if you are brave and of strong constitution.
Pre-made, frozen peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Sans crust
Nay, I have seen worse in the freezer section. I almost hurled just thinking about it. I swear I have nightmares about being force to eat them. I suspect they are something foisted on kids, but even when I was in my strangest food phase as a kid I wouldn’t have touched them.
On a television show featuring peculiar foods I once saw a show from Edinburgh that had, get this, *deep fried candy bars[/]! They were dipped in batter and flash fried. I like fried foods, and Lord knows I like sugar, but that was just too awful.
I had a girlfriend in high school who used to love to dip her French fries in hot fudge topping. Cute girl a little qurky. She went on to become an MP in the Army. Nothing like a good lookin’ girl who brings her own hand cuffs. But I digress.
Personally, those pre-pealed, preserved, paboiled potatoes send my stomach into back flips.
On a non-food topic I think the surest sign our end is near is the new Fox series Married by America Surely the Romans were no more decadent than this when their empire cumbled
My pregnant friend was telling me about something she tried at a work buffet lunch. She said she had finished eating, but noticed she had a couple of Oreos left, and also some nacho cheese. She then had an urge to dip the Oreos into the cheese and eat them that way. Apparently it disgusted her co-worker so much that she had to leave the table. Eeeew.
Homebrew, I taste-tested those PBJs last week. Tasted fine, nothing unusual. For the life of me though, I can’t figure out the time-savings over “get the bread, slap jam on one and peanut butter on the other, et voila!”
The scariest prefab food item I’ve ever heard of had to be chocolate-covered salo.Salo is sort of a Ukrainian soul-food item; basically, it’s big hunks of pork fat.
I hope the chocolate-covered *salo * was a novelty gag item, but one can never be too sure.
They save you essentially no time. (Pull bread loaf, jars of PB and jam from the fridge - 5 seconds. Grab knife, smear PB and jam on bread - 10 seconds. Cut in half, and cut crusts off, if that’s your thing - 10 seconds. Probly takes that long to nuke the frozen PBs.)
You can’t eat peanut butter straight from the jar. (The way God intended, thanks. :))
You have to take whatever kind of jelly/jam they chose to slap on it, instead of whatever kind you prefer these days. (This month, I’m using apple butter instead of jam; next month it might be strawberry or grape jam. But I like choosing.)
Balderdash! That was just a response to some other post. This abomination deserves a thread of it’s own.
