Although I obviously do not wish that to be true, it would be quite a poetic suicide note to leave.

This also sounded a bit ominous.
Early Saturday morning, the ABC show sent a driver up from Fargo. I was driven down there to answer questions.

She went down to the river with her hammer named Margo, to see about the man called Kevin Hoffman.

Given our general food discussion here earlier: friend/music writer Simon Price just sent along a photo of this from a Tesco's -- UK food is truly a different world:

that's actually a kind of sausage

sausage pudding iirc

BTW along the same lines, "breakfast sausage" is not what you think it is in the UK, and I wouldn't recommend asking for it

is it really fudge?

what scott said a little upthread. i'm not judging people for eating badly--i eat badly all the time. in fact if anything it's empathy because i have both weight issues and a tendency to eat very fatty foods if i don't watch myself. so when i see very morbidly obese people going back to a shoney's food bar three, four times and piling up mashed potatoes, corned beef, fried chicken, etc. i sort of shudder both for their own health and my own, potentially.

v curious as to what you were expecting and what you got.
― ledge, Thursday, 15 March 2012 16:41 (twelve years ago) link
I guess as someone who struggled with weight and has watched family members do the same, I just know the kind of cycle of rationalization that needs to be broken to really change one's eating habits, which, admittedly, is very difficult when you have places like the Olive Garden basically packing calorie trojan horses into all of your food. So I bristle a little at the suggestion that maybe the obese guy who is eating a 3000 calorie meal is just enjoying his occasional indulgence in an otherwise healthy diet.
― the prurient pinterest (Hurting 2), Thursday, 15 March 2012 16:42 (twelve years ago) link
yeah i mean it's not the most dependable inference really.

^ this. the weirdest and most depressing thing about olive garden/red lobster food is how bad it is. i mean, it's "good" in that it's salty as hell, drowning in oil cheese and butter, made of generally tasty things, and chemically engineered to hit some perfect crowd-pleasing greasy/salty sweet spot, but beyond that, it's borderline awful.
― Fozzy Osbourne (contenderizer), Thursday, 15 March 2012 16:56 (twelve years ago) link
^ this = xp
my girlfriend just points out that her aunt is one of those people who really loves o.g. and in general likes many of the slightly upscale chain restaurants. she'd drive an hour to eat at olive garden and genuinely loves the food. she's also been to italy and stuff (although i would not call her very worldly or sophisticated).
what would you say to her?
srs question

"let's go to olive garden"

and the next time: "let's go someplace else"

i went to a red lobster as a 'joke' a while ago, and yeah, pretty solidly shitty food.
tho like a moron i tried to 'order well' and got some salmon and vegetables that was like nursing home food. i bet if i just got popcorn shrimp and a lobster tail i would have been fine

damn dude you really fucked up your joke visit to red lobster

re amateurist: my gf's parents love olive garden, and i've eaten there three times in the last few years (after never having been). i do not object and have not spoken an ill word of the place to them. my mom loves it, too, and applebees, though i do give her a hard time abt it.

My parents gave me a Red Lobster gift card a couple years ago, and my wife got without a doubt the saltiest piece of fish I have ever tasted. She couldn't eat it, but we were too depressed to send it back. She was ill when we got home. Never again.
