xpost, ok maybe I have only had bourgie trifle because what you describe is not what I have had.

ew ew ewwww

*so* gross! OMG

get in the sea, pie-bap

Can we ban imago again already

I am heading to The English Seaside in a couple of weeks and look forward to puddings and pies of all sorts

So much to catch up on.

On Ramen, dipping is definitely the way to go so tsukumen for me. Although faced with the choice between ramen and good soba, then soba every time. Good soba has to be high buckwheat content or what’s the point.

I don’t really eat rice at hope due to low carb dieting but, in China or Japan I eat much more and love it. On my most recent trip I ate more brown rice and rice and beans than I have before. Japanese rice and beans or the Taiwanese/Japanese rice with beans and grains like sorghum is wonderful. Ochazuke and bubazuke ftw, btw.

I will defend trifle to the death but it has to be well made, lots of booze, fruit and ridiculously rich custard. If you are going to chill custard then it needs to be slightly over sweet when warm. Jam in the trifle sponges. Jelly does not belong in Trifle, why would you spoil something so wonderful with flavourless plastic.

On the cake question - of course no ice cream with cake or cream for that matter, cake ought to stand up on its own. Custard, ice cream and cream belong with pies and tarts.

Jello is bone and animal hide gelatin foolio

OMG f# you are such a negative ninny! i ain't goin' nowhere, darlin' *snaps fingers*

Yeah, the trifle I have had has been magnificent.

i've been snacking on some amazing sassafras-flavored gelatin gummies this week but i think in the future we're going to try and move to the vegan/kosher/halal gelatin for making such things

I feel like the should start offering pot gummies on flights.

I got a bento box yesterday for lunch. I ate half of the rice. I was very proud.

is it a controversial opinion that prime rib is terrible? it's my opinion.

I kind of think 80% of what people think is well cooked meat is terrible.

yeah I think I've had really good steak like one time ever, and it's not for lack of trying (or spending). & it was at a professor's house, not even at a resto! ok maybe once at a resto in Marseille.

I like meat "in" things but not really as a main dish.

I enjoy prime rib on rare occassions but it's too expensive

Overcooked meat is as bad as past al dente pasta for me. I think I like most of my food on the way undercooked to raw side.

Or unless it's brisket or something like that that needs to be dripping off the bone. I need to go find some brisket now.

re. meat that is not controversial I think?

I hate undercooked rice, the crunchy core disgusts me

All of rice is disgusting. There is no saving it. Although I do like rice pudding. I used to eat uncooked oatmeal as a kid with just a little milk.

German, American and Asian types of link sausages are generally disgusting as well.

dang I love lap xuong but I'm the only one in my family who does
I don't know what american link sausages are, as opposed to like hot dogs?

American link sausages are likely bastardized versions of italian, polish, german etc. And then those weird sausages that they put in a spiral with skewers keeping them together so you can put it on the grill? I think there is a word for those?

There is definitely an emoji for those

ok I don't know those, maybe it's an east coast thing? the sausage I got in the dumb midwest was generally as on par with what I get in central Europe. (I don't think French sausage types really exist in the usa, just maybe louisiana versions which are quite their own thing)

Oh they are called sausage rings. blech.

Scottish Lorne sausage ftw

I used to buy frozen lorne sausage as it was easily the cheapest meat available at asda circa 1998

Is that spam

looks delicious!

I would eat that.

And then those weird sausages that they put in a spiral with skewers keeping them together so you can put it on the grill? I think there is a word for those?

I think these are basically Italian? I mean the quality depends on the meatcutter or company that made them but generally I think the spiral form is an Italian thing.

Italian sausage is my least favorite sausage by a wide margin.

the cold cuts are much better

but love a good sausage and peppers with grilled polenta cake

Italian sausage and kielbasa are in a fite for the worst. And those weird smoked beef U shaped things sold in supermarkets.

dumb midwest

<3 euler

Those Dominic's Italian Sausage trucks... *shudder*.

We should do a sausage poll

please bro u just looking for another opportunity to dick-wave like u've been doing all over this board for the past few weeks

Wow dude if my bulge swings wildly bc of its size it doesnt mean i deserve such hostility

Plus I genuinely love sausages and have opinions about them

I like kielbasa! It's smoked.

I especially hate the fresh kielbasa. The smoked is slightly better.

oh, I just remembered that you are from michigan. Of course you like kielbasa.

Pity your big old dick can’t help your inferiority complex ey.

Andouille is my jam

And chorizo of course

Lotsa overly salty sausages itt btw

Tell you what - I've never been to the USA, but I spent most of my adulthood in China, and very familiar with the few overpriced western grocery stores in major cities which only had US stuff, a little Australian, maybe a few French things, never anything from the UK. The sausages and bacon were always pre-cooked. Literally was unable to buy raw bacon or sausages at all. Is this a refrigeration / transport issue or are these things generally pre-cooked?
