cheese in a can: don't they use Cheez Whiz on cheese steaks in Philly, like as the "preferred" cheese? looking for enlightenment here if this is incorrect

that doesn't make it right!

Mr. Que, Thursday, 25 March 2010 15:51 (fourteen years ago) link

btw you lose 5 IQ pts every time you type the words "Cheez Whiz"

it is certainly not right!

there's nothing wrong with using cans to preserve foodstuffs. propelling said foodstuff from the can through a nozzle is a different matter - one both disgusting and savage.

bipartisan agreement que, we're a shining example to all of the political spectrum.

not cooking a steak until the steak is cooked is an atrocity imo.

i am aware this may not be a universally held belief

'cheesing' what an interesting concept

DarraghmacKwacz (darraghmac), Thursday, 25 March 2010 15:54 (fourteen years ago) link

btw, courtesy of a visit to a gf that was craving mexican food due to studying abroad in a tiny town, i have had the worst tacos in the world, and they live in Dublin.

tbh there is enough terrible cheese here that doesn't come in a can.

also, bread.

aarrissi-a-roni, Thursday, 25 March 2010 15:55 (fourteen years ago) link

not cooking a steak until the steak is (over-) cooked is an atrocity imo.

"Irish Taco" sounds like a euphemism

Mr. Que, Thursday, 25 March 2010 15:56 (fourteen years ago) link

Mmm, corned beef taco!

The bastardization of sushi is way worse than tacos, maybe as bad as pizza imo.

have not had british "pizza" tho so the jury is still out here.

chickn in a biskit is fucking awesome

hey this isn't about how badly the irish do foreign and fantastical cuisine you nation of cheesecanning steakruining savages.

DarraghmacKwacz (darraghmac), Thursday, 25 March 2010 15:59 (fourteen years ago) link

Irish food is also pretty bastardized. How often do the Irishes in Ireland eat corned beef and other deli food?

✌.✰|ʘ‿ʘ|✰.✌ (Steve Shasta), Thursday, 25 March 2010 16:00 (fourteen years ago) link

i cant even describe that taco, there was no effort to make it not a taco, it was just as if every spice and technique and ingredient was chosen by someone that had heard of a taco and was working it out as they went along

First and Last and Safeways ™ (jjjusten), Thursday, 25 March 2010 16:01 (fourteen years ago) link

notable decisions made would be the use of cream cheese. also ketchup.

First and Last and Safeways ™ (jjjusten), Thursday, 25 March 2010 16:01 (fourteen years ago) link

mac n' cheese is similar to pizza in varying from sometimes being the greatest/worst thing ever

aarrissi-a-roni, Thursday, 25 March 2010 16:01 (fourteen years ago) link

also i am not trying to demean irisher cuisine, i am just having some sort of PTSD moment here ok

English food > Irish food >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Scottish food

The Oort Locker (Tom D.), Thursday, 25 March 2010 16:02 (fourteen years ago) link

corned beef is not a 'thing' in ireland, tbh. i mean it exists, but in the same way that other food we don't eat all that much exists.

DarraghmacKwacz (darraghmac), Thursday, 25 March 2010 16:02 (fourteen years ago) link

Irish Food>>>>> english food

like our actors, the english just steal our best food and call it english. english food = eels n shit.

DarraghmacKwacz (darraghmac), Thursday, 25 March 2010 16:03 (fourteen years ago) link

welcome to Eels N' Shit, can I take your order

The bastardization of sushi is way worse than tacos, maybe as bad as pizza imo.

See, I can stomach most bad sushi as long as there's nori/soy/wasabi. I remember getting 7-11 sushi late at night in Tokyo that was pretty dire, objectively, but a little ginger and (as long as it wasn't fake fish) some rice/protein wasn't the worst drunk food I could have gotten at 4 AM. /ds-gaijin

Also, I think pizza is kind of a portmanteau concept since there's flatbread all over the place, Comparing, say, crudo and sushi wouldn't be out of line but it has to be done w/a fair sense of what each tradition brings and expects.

i'm sorry we're out of the eel pie

Mr. Que, Thursday, 25 March 2010 16:04 (fourteen years ago) link

English food > Irish food >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Scottish food

Fair enough, apart from salmon, venison and grouse. Irish have the best bread, though.

Il suffit de ne pas l'envier (Michael White), Thursday, 25 March 2010 16:05 (fourteen years ago) link

the best basic bacon/eggs/toast breakfast i have ever had in my life was in ireland, so for that i thank you all.

xpost: see MW knows what is up

xxxxpost: idk when i think of bastardized sushi im thinking of the bullshit you see where theres like bacon and chutney and shit. basically sushi for novelty eaters that think raw fish is ooogy.

in scotland they deep fry pizza in batter. <3333333

Lots of Scottish food is great, but not the stuff the Scots actually eat

The Oort Locker (Tom D.), Thursday, 25 March 2010 16:06 (fourteen years ago) link

and by "they" I mean all scottish people, for every meal

niminy-piminy cricket (Upt0eleven), Thursday, 25 March 2010 16:06 (fourteen years ago) link

All the good grub gets eaten by posh English bastards

The Oort Locker (Tom D.), Thursday, 25 March 2010 16:08 (fourteen years ago) link

another argument for pizza here would be the delivery pizza option of getting your pizza surrounded by a rubber o-ring of semi-melted not really cheese encased in the crust

First and Last and Safeways ™ (jjjusten), Thursday, 25 March 2010 16:09 (fourteen years ago) link

Sushi is a good one for this.

Another one I'd like to throw out there: lasagna. There are the versions served in schools that are typically embarrassingly terrible, but the vegetarian versions that are loaded with white sauce are another degree of awfulness.

OTM

The Oort Locker (Tom D.), Thursday, 25 March 2010 16:10 (fourteen years ago) link

I just thought of a couple of broad prejudices I have:

Fish and cheese generally shouldn't go together, not should fish and bacon.

Il suffit de ne pas l'envier (Michael White), Thursday, 25 March 2010 16:20 (fourteen years ago) link

scallops, emmental cheese, and walnuts give you an idea.

sounds awesome!

goole, Thursday, 25 March 2010 16:22 (fourteen years ago) link

i don't think anything competes with pizza for this question. maaaybe 'mexican' but that doesn't really compare.

maybe chinese too, but i'm a fan of really ratty storefront fake chinese food

goole, Thursday, 25 March 2010 16:24 (fourteen years ago) link

I know (re. the pizza w/ emmental + scallops)! I ordered it, unsuspecting what was to come. Execution was more the problem than the ingredients, though I tend to agree that fish + cheese is a bad combo.

it so isn't

LiveJournal (acoleuthic), Thursday, 25 March 2010 16:25 (fourteen years ago) link

my personal vote might be fish and chips. it always sounds like a good idea when i see it on a menu and it is always a grave error.

goole, Thursday, 25 March 2010 16:26 (fourteen years ago) link

oh fuck that sandwich is going to kill people

Mr. Que, Thursday, 25 March 2010 16:27 (fourteen years ago) link

aw on what planet continent is 'fish and chips' ALWAY a grave error?

DarraghmacKwacz (darraghmac), Thursday, 25 March 2010 16:28 (fourteen years ago) link

Would eat.

I can't believe I spent a good part of my childhood thinking that canned pitted + sliced olives were the most gourmet delicacy ever.

mom tossed in kimchee (quincie), Saturday, 20 September 2014 20:39 (nine years ago) link

That said, apart from the inferior olives, that looks tasty.

mom tossed in kimchee (quincie), Saturday, 20 September 2014 20:39 (nine years ago) link

I would too and really it's the name that rankles.

droit au butt (Euler), Saturday, 20 September 2014 20:48 (nine years ago) link

that looks dope, but ewww black olives.

replacements gustafsson (get bent), Saturday, 20 September 2014 23:43 (nine years ago) link

More canned black olives for me.

the local "irish pub" serves "irish nachos" over potato chips

Reminds me of a very similar, if probably superior, dish from the mission restaurant in san diego

PAPAS LOCO 8.50
Rosemary potatoes, grilled jalapeños, black beans, cheese, avocado slice and sour cream
With two scrambled eggs Add 1.75

Would still eat.

That sounds great

Οὖτις, Sunday, 21 September 2014 00:46 (nine years ago) link

I want that right now

Place in noe valley does an 'Irish breakfast' which is close to a full English but has some kind of salsa. I don't think that's meant to be the Irish bit though.

kinder, Sunday, 21 September 2014 07:08 (nine years ago) link

i had "breakfast enchiladas" (chicken enchiladas w/ eggs and black beans on the side) yesterday and although i didn't eat most of the tortillas or beans, it was quite good.
