Unless it is a late night snack, in which case, peanut butter.

not a huge fan of oranges, but marmalade always tastes bitter to me. which is also why i don't like grapefruit.

Here is what I want on my toast: THANDIE NEWTON

I hated marmalade until I was pregnant with 4lex, when I then ate it every morning for a while, and now I never eat it anymore.

ugh, Dan, she's awfully THIN

But very pretty, it's true.

Maybe the thinness works for spreading on toast, though. I WOULD NOT KNOW

i think we can settle this by all agreeing that peanut butter is the greatest thing ever

Unless it is a late night snack, in which case, kimberly elise

Peanut butter is kind of a miracle food, crunchy or creamy, it's all good.

BUT I don't want that natural peanut butter that you have to stir up; I want the processed kind that is bad for you and that tastes right.

oh god, has anyone else been subjected to the utter horror that is sunflower butter

Dan, I was going to suggest that you might prefer Gina Torres, but then again I have no idea who Kimberly Elise is, so.

SUNFLOWER butter?!

I think I've had almond butter baked in a cake, but that is about it.

NATURAL PEANUT BUTTER IS A SHITTY JOKE CARRIED OUT BY AUSTRIANS ON THE GOOD PEOPLE OF THE WORLD IN ORDER TO SAP OUR OPTIMISM

dont even get me started on sunflower butter

I knew somehow that John would be on the same page with me about this.

sunflower (seed) butter is basically like eating the sensation of being punched repeatedly in the gonads until you shit yourself

wtf, was there a huge sunflower butter trend that I missed in the past few years or what?

It tastes like sick cats

If by "the past few years" you mean "1984", then yes.

Well, that explains everything. We never had much food in our house, really.

Did your mothers buy that?! WHERE?!

a friend of mine is alergic to peanuts and has to eat sunflower butter

i can never decide whether to laugh behind his back or in his face

It seems like almond butter would be better... at least in the abstract...?

My mom joined the HSTNGS Co-op briefly as part of a health kick. The dried fruits were good but the carob chips were kind of unforgivable. She made us continue to eat their shitty, shitty real food substitutes until the day she brought home some sunflower butter. Not even she could choke that horrific shit down and she doesn't have tastebuds.

(ps I will absolutely take Gina Torres, too)

I'm trying to figure out how I had forgotten about CAROB CHIPS. They did have a moment back in the early 80s

You can buy good stuff at co-ops now, actually, but there are still scary things in them, too.

The thing about sunflower butter vs peanut butter is that peanut butter is nothing like chewing up a bunch of peanuts and spitting them onto a piece of bread, but sunflower butter is almost EXACTLY like chewing up a bunch of sunflower seeds and spitting them onto a piece of bread.

will i get kicked out if i confess that i don't like peanut butter?

xpost EW!

A. just came in from work and told me that 1. he liked carob chips as a child and he used to make his mother buy them for him and 2. he has tried Vegemite and he claims it is revolting.

its ok i have heard that they dont have peanut butter where you live xpost

will i get kicked out if i confess that i don't like peanut butter?

Only if you DO like sunflower butter.

lxy, I think you are safe. More peanut butter for the rest of us!

btw, you should take anything A. says about food with a huge grain of salt because he hates tomatoes and broccoli and he doesn't even like CHEESE that much!

Wait, isn't he from WI????????????????????? How can you not like cheese if you grew up in Cheeseonia?

ANYONE WHO HATES CHEESE CAN JUST GET THE HELL OUT RIGHT NOW

do call it 'american cheese' in america? you know, the orangey stuff that is on burgers. because that is my FAVOURITE

Yes, he's from Wisconsin, and NO I can't explain it because it is clearly insane.

John, he does like it on pizza and he even humors me by putting way more cheese into stuff he makes because he knows I like it (like doubling the cheese in lasagna).

He just doesn't grasp the idea that most foods taste better with melted cheese involved.

xpost YES RR, and that is the kind of cheese I usually want on a burger, too.

God I'm starving just thinking about that.

I think A. is also baffled by one of my major snack habits; grating cheese and putting it on Tostitos (or similar) and then putting into microwave for 30 seconds.

That is literally the first thing I ate when I came home from Japan.

yes

ME TOO! i've had the worst burger cravings lately. the other night, i got the chef to make me a 450g ribeye steak - just marinated in olive oil, garlic and rosemary, and chargrilled, and it was SO FREAKIN GOOD. but i just about passed out after i'd finished it. (i think that is almost a pound, in american-speak?)

uhh xposts to sara

i became a huge fan of cheese sauce and gravy during my first year at uni: we lived in this horrible university hostel that had the worst food, and the only way to make it edible was to drown it all in sauce/salt/gravy.

YUM.

I haven't had a burger in a while. ;_;

i make AWESOME burgers, tbh. homemade meat patties, even!

xpost That does not always work with college/university cafeteria food. The best (worst?) example was the vile vegetarian dish that Olaf used to serve, CHEESY CHINESE CASSEROLE

Cheese plus Chinese food... just so wrong.

xpost RR please visit me and teach me to make decent burgers, plz

sara i will make you burgers when i come visit, i promise!

my first two years at uni, i seriously lived on mcdonald's cheeseburgers and fries, because hostel food was so bad the first year, and the second year i was just too lazy to cook.

yay, leaving work to go have jalepeno margaritas

also ask TOMBOT about decent burgers, he's got a method very similar to mine only fancier, and my burgers are dope so his must be dope^3

Yay to all of that! RR, I must warn you that I am not a good cook.

Dan - jalapeno margaritas?! WHOA

Tom and Dan and RR should post their recipes/methods.
