Post a controversial opinion

People need to eat less meat in general.

science was gearing towards the eat less meat as you age to decrease cancer up until recently

now there are studies that suggest we should eat more meat to maintain muscle mass, which always made sense to me

atrophy happens because we stagnate/stop exercising and decrease our protein intake

so keep exercising and eat plenty of meat if you like it!

Holy shit they are. Or the cheeses are tiny! In which case: nagl.

actually controversial opinion (for some reason): mint jelly is good not bad

ppl on this board are literally insane when it comes to mint, literally i tell you

i make good lamb burgers but also use only NZ lamb. there are a lot of places to get that around here. i add a little mint along w/the feta and red onion.

Hi mark I agree with u

mint + meat is best in larb

never had new zealand lamb but now i want to

I love mint in lots of things, including the above-mentioned watermelon/feta pairing. I've never entirely understood the lamb pairing, but don't object.

Mint is cool

Ween is not a weird band

Remove all land borders apart from some x-claves because they can be absolutely adorable.

When aging people eat more meat that just makes them smell and have fewer/grosser bowel movements. No one wants to deal with that.

Mint is great just not as a jelly to put on lamb.

xp

if you're exercising it shouldn't

exercising contributes to a healthy bowel movement

Dunno about mint jelly but mint sauce is delicious

the word on my streets (ie my children’s schools) is that you need to eat meat to make blood. only halal meat though.

I just presumed yanks called the sauce jelly they call things jelly that aren't jelly I've noticed

yeah like jelly fish and jelly beans

and jam

My objection to mint jelly is to the mint, which is an obnoxiously overwhelming flavor for proper comestibles imo- but in this case the jelly is quite gelatinous and...not so great either

I am not a fan of anything gelatinous, at least in a culinary context, nor of the use let alone misapplication of the word jelly.

CP and Darragh - no mint jelly is diff than mint sauce. Over here it’s actually served with a gelatinous mint thing that has the consistency of jam. V diff from your mint sauce.

The fuck kind of animals are ye at all

Food can be okay but it's mostly dumb. Just puree it and run it directly into my, what, my stomach I guess? I was going to say 'veins' but that probably isn't okay to do.

I can’t see that picture but is it of soylent?

Also bear is my spirit animal if you must know dmac

Controversial opinion is Yoshi’s Story > SMB2

Mint jelly is gross but mint sauce on lamb is my favorite (it’s mint, vinegar, sugar). Trader Joe’s usually has New Zealand lamb.

Someone take me to the Cheese Board (then across the street for a drink)

Cesar, the tapas restaurant that is across the street from the Cheese Board, does have excellent drinks (and food), but I wasn't aware you were familiar with the gourmet restaurant scene in North Berkeley?

Aside from fancy small ranch stuff I don't think I've seen lamb that isn't from Australia or NZ, it's not really a commodity meat in the US.

I love lamb when other people cook it but I have had fuck all luck preparing it well for myself. Even going heavy on the fat trimming with shanks or boneless legs it usually comes out greasy. I've decided to just cede it to a couple of local Lebanese restaurants. Their tabouli is way better than what I can make for myself anyway.

not liking any even vaguely normal food is shameful and embarrassing and you should stfu about it and ppl who have refined their palate to the point of finding normal food disgusting are hideous monsters who are to be shunned.

BINGO

this def applies to turning your nose up at fast food/junk food as if it's inedible too

this thread has reminded me i haven't made lamb saag in a while, an oversight i intend to rectify as soon as i can dig my way out of the snowdrifts in front of my house and make it to the shops

it's def the meat that makes me feel guiltiest when i eat it tho cuz baby sheep are cute as hell

so cute, so delicious ;_;

Xxxp It's all part of treating food as a proxy for class / values / health / dieting / coolness rather than treating it as food.

Can't stand all these "gourmet burger restaurants" that have appeared recently, just apparently to add the veneer of respectability to eating junk food, if you want to eat it then it's a quarter of the price and basically the same at burger king.

cue stream of burgsplaining about how it really really isn't

Receiving his “frothy coffee” in Pontypridd’s Prince’s cafe, Owen Smith stopped mid-sentence to express some amusement. “I tell you it is the first time I have ever been given little biscuits and a posh cup in here,” Smith said, looking up at the owner David Gamberini, as his order was placed on the table. “Seriously, I would have a mug normally,” the MP added, examining the refreshments in front of him.

i had a lamb rogan josh in a Spoonies last night just to wrap this all together

rip owen smith, heaven needed a centrist frothycoffeepologist

don't make me post the latte-munching thread

the latte-munching thread is an extremist stance in the other direction and equally reprehensible, the point of that and performative foodie-ism being this gauche strained othering of perfectly normal things that are normal to eat and pleasant

like mint jelly

*minces triumphantly off to the american politics threads, to solve THEM*

Lemonjelly was popular for a while but i did not like them ever nope

I say mint and mint jelly suck and its like suddenly we can’t eat mayonnaise anymore

they sell yummy lamb right up the street from my house.
