CHIPS vs FRIES

red hot faggot balls

I love the idea that there are definable levels of sophistication re. ways of eating spaghetti hoops.

As long as one never, never eats them with a knife.

can't really see any convincing argument as to why baked beans are OK for adults to eat and spaghetti hoops aren't, tbh

why baked beans are OK for adults to eat and spaghetti hoops aren't

Both too sweet, actually

Shit, now I really want to go to a pet store and ask if they have fabulous fat balls.

Baked beans are fine, but spaghetti hoops are way too sweet. Also tinned ravioli, bleurgh.

I still haven't had that chip butty yet. Lunchtime tomorrow, definitely.

Mystery's secret revealed!

thing is, beans are beans. tinned spaghetti is a horrible version of real pasta tho. tinned ravioli used to be a guilty pleasure if I was giving the kids some tho.

i really wish there was a jpeg of the original "Fat Balls for Wild Birds" that Mrs V and Joel found in a pet shop.

Have you never heard of a spoon?

How am I going to eat spaghetti hoops on toast with a knife and spoon?

I'll eat cannelini from a can but baked beans, eugh. I don't know but I do suspect that the sauce on your canned ravioli is probably too sweet like it always is here in the States. Overly sweet tomato sauce covered in gross Kraft parmesan always made me want to hurl as a child.

But UK baked beans are different from US baked beans. They're in a tomato sauce for starters and aren't sweet like ours.

this whole conversation is making me want to hurl
adults eat spaghettios?

Oh man snoball you have no idea how ridiculous this sounds to someone unfamiliar with the practice. The first time I saw RS do this I was like "REally? You're going to put Spaghetti Os on toast and eat it with cutlery? But . . . but . . .WAHT?!

I don't see how it would be any harder than with a fork. Though, if it has to be a fork, I'd just cut up my toast into bite-sized morsels rather than trying to thread spaghetti-os onto the tines of my fork.

what sauce are US baked beans in then? iirc haricot beans were orig served in some kind of sweet treacly sauce by Victorian Britishes

I love spaghettios but eat them like twice a year. That said, they were my go to in college even more so than ramen. Also, I like them cold.

It's not like I'm eating alphabetti-spaghetti.

Or cut my toast into lovely toast points and dip them in the spaghetti-os. I'm sure that's how Emily Post did it.

I mean, credit me with some class, people...

In the United States, Boston baked beans use a sauce made from pork and molasses, and are so popular the city has been nicknamed "Beantown."

do not hate on alphagetti ;_;

Your username is making me crave potato waffles now :-(

^^ should have been in quotes

you can get vegetarian ones but they're still sweetened with molasses (or prob corn syrup now) and they're gross

heinz beans are much much better

also not to gross out the thread entirely but there's a nightmarish episode of Dirty Jobs where Mike visits a couple who makes 'fat ball'-like bird foot (rendered fat, maggots, insects)
Soooooooooooooooooooooooo gross.
DNW Fat Balls.

bird foot = bird food

GISing 'dirty jobs fat balls' is not a good idea, btw.

I have baked beans with b'fast in Engaland and I wasn't much of a fan.

En-ger-land

Actually, there was a time when it was called Englaland

now I want a jacket with cheesy beans for dinner

fuck this thread

:(

I have been trying to work out if Heinz made Spaghetti Hoops sauce 100x sweeter around ten years ago or if that was just the magical sudden onset of adulthood

sorry that might have been too harsh

it's just making hungry and wishing that stuffed baked potatoes were a thing you could get as commonly here as over there

also the couple who made the fat balls reminded me of the Will Ferrell hot tub guy and his wife from SNL.

I need to go back to think about butties and heinz spaghetti

apropos of not exactly anything, toasted heinz spaghetti sandwiches with cheese are AMAZING (also like mouth napalm when hot)

stuffed baked potatoes are a thing that I miss v much

Baked bean and cheese toasties are the best toasted sandwiches ever, bar none.

Right? As a vegetarian they were awesome and something I knew I could rely on when eating out. That said, eating out as a veg was almost easier in the UK. More options across the board and most of the menus were labeled. You wouldn't think that it would be but it really was.

whenever they had a flea-market type thing growing up, there would be the man with his mobile oven cooking baked potatoes as big as ostrich eggs, stuffed with fresh coleslaw, cheese, lemon pepper, sour cream, the whole thing, even meat sauce if you were that way inclined

best lunch EVER

;_;

Boston's love of baked beans with molasses is a double edged spoon

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_Molasses_Disaster

I've read about that. What a way to die!

There's a big deli chain down here, McAlister's, that has a lot of stuffed baked potatoes on their menu. They use huge potatoes, too, two-pounders generally.

Where you at? I'm coming to visit, k?

Yeah the molasses disaster thing is nuts.

(runs to car) where you at WmC????

i voted for fries assuming that "chips" = potato chips, because duh. should have known they would be britishes chips.

so uk chips = potato wedges???
