OT: The Food & Drinks Thread Part Deux

[angusyoung]

I’ve never tried kokoretsi, looking at some of the pics appears to be a little more ‘miscellaneous’ looking which would probably throw me off too. My ex-boss was Scottish and used to host an annual charity golf tournament with the whole haggis ceremony, was terrified the first time but after a few shots of Scotch courage found it to be like a spiced dry mince pudding. Started to crave it after, even resorted once to canned haggis, would not recommend the latter

You're making it sound good under those circumstances.

The kokresti I had was all goat, from what I understood as at the time my Greek was not very good. But seeing the same guys year after year,the story still come up. lol.

I have seen canned potatoes and I can't even imagine.

There was a time I ate canned peas and I don't know how I did it.

Not really keen on any canned food,BPA and all.

It does what it was intended to do

Well, canned peas rival ipecac for inducing vomiting. So there's that.

Do you use canned tomatoes for sauces and things?

Prefer not to,but not always possible. Grating or pureeing ripe tomatoes is no big deal.

Is there really anything sold in a grocery store more revolting, unnecessary, and overall inedible than a can of peas?

Canned sausages.

Canned sausages.

Vienna sausages with the white chunks of fat floating on the top of the can were vial

Canned tomatoes and canned corn are perfectly fine and does what it's intended for, but canned peas are awful.

(Canned Potatoes is a new low).

Canned sausages.

At this point you're just probably better off with Spam.

I wouldn't touch that stuff but a tin of corned beef to toss in with some fried potatoes and onions is fine. I buy the Halal stuff on the possibly mistaken belief it is better.
