"Irish Taco" sounds like a euphemism

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

Mmm, corned beef taco!

Easy Cheese + Chicken in a Biskit = family Christmas tradition

This is fast becoming the go-to thread for Disgusting Savages

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

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

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

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

Mr. Que, Thursday, 25 March 2010 16:03 (fourteen years ago) link

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.

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?

RFI: The Traditional Irish Fry-Up

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

fish and chips is a good shout. my personal vote would be any 'traditional' 'british' 'food'. fortunately my countrymen don't really attempt much mediterranean, but sheesh pork joint and roast potatoes can be dismal

LiveJournal (acoleuthic), Thursday, 25 March 2010 16:28 (fourteen years ago) link

also bad casserole ;_;

LiveJournal (acoleuthic), Thursday, 25 March 2010 16:28 (fourteen years ago) link

not a fan of fish and cheese at all

just sayin, Thursday, 25 March 2010 16:28 (fourteen years ago) link

que that is apparently a 'cake'

goole, Thursday, 25 March 2010 16:29 (fourteen years ago) link

and strangely nough, that thread about the daily mail seems to have an indepth discussion of the merit of a potato farl vs fried soda bread.

DarraghmacKwacz (darraghmac), Thursday, 25 March 2010 16:30 (fourteen years ago) link

xxp lol no I know - found out the hardest way

LiveJournal (acoleuthic), Thursday, 25 March 2010 16:30 (fourteen years ago) link

i'm not saying f&c is bad, i'm saying i've had a lot of really bad f&c

goole, Thursday, 25 March 2010 16:30 (fourteen years ago) link

that cake is going to kill me, tonight. i can feel it.

Mr. Que, Thursday, 25 March 2010 16:30 (fourteen years ago) link

btw the 'traditional irish/english (under protest)' fry up' is a genuine contender for this title.

DarraghmacKwacz (darraghmac), Thursday, 25 March 2010 16:30 (fourteen years ago) link

^^^yes

Fish and chips = awesome, sorry, jolly good

The Oort Locker (Tom D.), Thursday, 25 March 2010 16:31 (fourteen years ago) link

fortunately my countrymen don't really attempt much mediterranean,

fish and chips is mediterranean, funny enough

"vegetarian fry" as a breakfast option in dublin café- good strong evidence that you're in west brit territory imo
