OT: The Menu - Part 4: Chocolate Milk Still Legit

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Am I only the one that buys OJ from the store that is loaded with pulp? #PulpGang

That is, in a word, gross.

Looks nice, but personally I HATE when pasta gets crunchy on the edges.

Like the mouth version of nails on a chalkboard to me.

My nearly 97 year old grandmother-in-law does this thing with pasta that I will never understand. First, she overcooks it to complete mush by boiling it for a half hour. Dinner # 1. Then, the next day, she throws it in the oven with some butter and grated cheese on it until it completely dries out again and is rock hard and burnt to a crisp. As a man who loves his pasta perfectly al dente, I consider all of this to be downright criminal.

I'm pretty much the same, but I also don't like it when it gets too gooey either, like a lot of the mac and cheeses you see these days with the really melty white cheeses - that's not my bag. Still good, but it reminds me too much of Dave Hakstok hockey, i.e. "heavy." I like pasta more "greasy," for lack of a better term, like a nice spaghetti carbonara or pesto.

I will make you a carbonara when you finally make it out to the area. Pasta from scratch, guanciale instead of bacon/pancetta, farm fresh eggs, etc — the whole deal. We’ll eat like happy Italian peasants, then fall unconscious into a food coma like the old men we are.

You have murdered me with words.

#TeamNoPulp* if I wanted solid food I’d eat an orange


*a slight amount of pulp is also acceptable

Out at a cabin in rural BC and the weather is turning cold. Seems like a perfect excuse to make a heap of 5 cheese baked ziti with homemade sauce and basil from the garden.

I don't know about the green onion, feel like that should be a chiffonade of basil instead, but otherwise this is the first food pic one of you guys have posted that is actually presentable. Most of the food porn photos posted here are the rough equivalent of a hard-livin' middle-aged truck-stop stripper, not that there's anything wrong with that.

Of course. I have the heart of an astronaut.

The basil was mixed in.

In-laws are Canadian. Concessions have to be made. That’s there the green onions come in.

You should try smiling through dinner as she crunches down on it with her 90+ year old petrified teeth - the sound has to be heard to be believed, while insisting you have some more because you're a man and need to eat. Pure torture. But then the woman did survive the German Occupation of Paris...

Oh, and I'm so there for the carbonara.

Am I the only idiot that calls them “scallions” or what

Nope. Same thing. I use both.

Ugh... that sounds awful.

Although, I'll admit I'm not a pasta guy to begin with, so my opinion on the subject is worthless.

 

[Lord Defect]

Pulp or no pulp for OJ? I used to despise pulp when I was growing up but now I'm a pulp fanatic. Give me that grovestand style super pulpy OJ all day. And by all day I mean the handful of times a year I drink OJ.

Heavy pulp

 

[Lord Defect]

OH orange chocolate, that's another one - very nice. Oh ****, look at these ****ing things, OMG:

orange dream bars

Orange cream cicles

Do you have a script to auto like anything food related?

"You get a like, and you get a like, and you get a like!"

"EVERYBODY GETS A LIKE!"

Let's test out the theory.

Rabbit tastes good in a pot pie.

 

[klutch]

I’ve been eating utterly boring stuff the last few months. Chicken, rice, broccoli and such of the same. While pretty healthy, I miss eating the food Lou posts.

Oh actually I tried one of the hot pot’s the other day. The Asian place where they give you a broth to start you just add food that comes on a f***ing conveyor belt!! It was pretty good, yet strange. I ate some fungus that if walking in nature I would think could kill a cow. I also burnt my tongue and ate a peppercorn that made my tongue numb. 8/10 would eat again.

 

[Chinatown88]

Wish we had more hot pot places near where I live. Only have one place and it's okay.

A place in Philly has rabbit schnitzel that is f***ing delicious. Go ahead and like this CDP, I dare you.

What's ironic is Rabbit DOES taste good in a pot pie. My wife's uncle is a hunter and on the odd occasion that gets a rabbit, he makes a rabbit stew that is heavenly....and a good pot pie as well.

Speaking of which, it's getting to that time of year when, hopefully he will be providing me (I'm the only one on the family that likes game) with a couple of good hunks of venison.

In Thailand we would order all the things we wanted from the waitress, but my friends always ordered them in Thai, so I would just watch as this insane number of plates with veggies and meat were brought to our table. You end up going through it faster than you realize. I did go to one place with this super hot girl and we had to go pick up the plates we wanted and bring them back. Not because she was super hot, just because that's the way the place did things.
