Post a controversial opinion

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.

Lamb. Pfft. SO last season. Lately I've been really excited about an obscure cut of zebra shoulder; you probably haven't heard of it.

Pfft you're about twenty years late on the white stripes posing m8

every mfer on this thread talking about cheese better have a real controversial opinion they're saving up for after this dairy bullshit

"gourmet burger restaurants"

oh man, not even "gourmet," but there's a stretch of road in the suburbs here that has the most chains moving in per square mile in the metro area and there's a Five Guys, Fuddruckers, and Red Robin within three blocks of each other, with a local burger chain a few blocks away and a "gourmet" local one in the mall just beyond that

how many fucking hamburgers do you normy asses need

The world is overpopulated and the deaths of a few million here and there, grouped by a particular characteristic or not, is no great harm

ty

‘a few million’ get a load of this milquetoast over here, billions or gtfo

:-/

tsunami wiped out how many again?

300,000 (and we’re still whining about 9/11)

for a moment i thought it was 300 mil

well it’s only an order off

Cheese is a more interesting topic than anyone's opinion on anything including cheese

People bemoaning overpopulation always have at least one immediate means of contributing to the solution

I won't accept "overpopulated" until all of Europe and North America has the density of Hong Kong + entire cities on floating offshore platforms.

death list: everyone currently falling from a high window, everyone who's just about to be hit by a train

Oh it's never the one you want

ice-nine no doubt

who needs to wait for global warming? not americans, by gum!

"Total U.S. Drug Deaths* - More than 64,000 Americans died from drug overdoses in 2016, including illicit drugs and prescription opioids--nearly double in a decade."

By drugs tho tbf not by gum

even more in 2017, i think.

all i'm saying is this country is doing its part to control population growth. and its not easy when you are a big rich country either! you have to try even harder to find ways to die in big numbers. but with guns and drugs we are on the right path.

also, see ya at the rib shack...

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) accounts for approximately 800,000 deaths in the United States (US), or one out of every three deaths. Among Americans, an average of one person dies from CVD every 40 seconds. Coronary heart disease (CHD) accounts for the majority of CVD deaths, followed by stroke and heart failure.

If twasnt that it'd be something else.

slaughter your own animal - open 9am to 11am!

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?

Gourmet? Not sure more applicable than ghetto, but quite suitable for gourmandizing, though I've never been willing to do more than observe the line. I wasn't aware you were familiar with my levels of familiarity.

we now have an entire board for cheese you can stop shitting up the controp thread

some threads deserve to be shat up

you ain't gonna shit up nothin' if you keep eatin' all that cheese!

nausea heartburn indigestion

upset stomach diarrhea!

hey poopto dismal!

i can't think of anything controversial. old people live too long? they never move away anymore. and there are so many of them!

i don't even really believe that though. they do live forever now though.

Mint is terrible, you're all terrible. I put up with it when I brush my teeth, but that's it.

It's really like my only food dislike (by taste etc.)

I feel like we did do a weird thing by associating mint with freshness or an astringent quality by making a default for dental products and chewing gum

I dont' brush my teeth I just eat mint gum is that wrong

eat as in swallow, or

It is weird that mint, which is a member of the deadnettle family (along with sage, oregano, marjoram, basil), has come in the western world to represent freshness and sweetness and is a common ingredient in desserts.... and paired with chocolate. It is much better in Vietnamese cooking paired with cilantro and lemongrass IMHO.

I barely ever use mint, but when I used it as a garnish and in the onion salad with a chicken biryani last year I thought it added something good to the overall taste tbh.

everyone on ilx is wrong about mint
