ILX FOOD FIGHT!!! Round One - Group C (Canadian National Anthem edition)

Falafel, Bagels, Burritos, Poutine

Falafel, Crisps, Burritos, Crab

Goddam I love crab so much. I take it crisps means Britishes crisps? Will kinda miss berries but over burritos = not happening

Falafel, Bagels, Burritos, Crab

wtf is a "crisp" anyway? is that just a potato chip? b/c of the stupid name I voted for bagels (which I don't really care about either, but at least I know what they are, and they have a cool name)

falafel rules, apple pie is nice but still.

burritos! one of the only foods I miss living over here in Olde Europe!

crab vs poutine, who cares, voted crab b/c "the crabs" is funny.

crab vs poutine, who cares

:-O

Sweet Pies, Bagels, Berries, Poutine

I love crab, but I don't think I'm allowed to vote against poutine

berries vs burritos easiest choice ever

BERRIES

yeah I wouldn't get yr hopes up for that one

http://www.oph-good-housekeeping.com/images/crisps-nutrition.jpg

Never seen them served like this before but, ah, I do love crisps

Bad crisps are really rank tho. I had to think a bit before giving them the nod over bagels but it wd be outrageous fronting to vote the other way really.

You can't have a bagel sandwich.

Was stuck on crab vs poutine until I remembered soft-shell crab, then voted crab. Pie vs. falafel and potato chips vs. bagels my first two real "meh vs. meh" of this tourney.

Pie vs. Falafel -- I'm not a huge lover of sweets, and I like a good fresh falafel (as long as someone else is making it), but I just had the best coconut custard pie I've ever eaten, along with a piece of really luscious chess pie. Pie wins.

Crisps vs. Bagels -- I eat a lot of corn chips and tortilla chips and the occasional potato chip, but I hate myself every time I do. They're just filler. The bagel wins it.

Berries vs. Burritos -- burritos are great, but there's no reason I can't lay all the inside ingredients out separately and eat them without calling it a burrito. I can't imagine a world without blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, raspberries.

Crab vs. Poutine -- fuck a poutine, somebody give me a case of (dungeness) crabs.

Berries vs. Burritos - impossible

Falafel, Bagels, Burritos, Crab

Fuck this generic "berries" bullshit. I'm voting burrito over berries because I was given no particular berry to give a shit about.

Examples of botanical berries include:

* Bearberry (Arctostaphylos spp.)
* Barberry (Berberis; Berberidaceae)
* Crowberry (Empetrum spp.)
* Currant (Ribes spp.; Grossulariaceae), red, black, and white types
* Elderberry (Sambucus niger; Caprifoliaceae)
* Gooseberry (Ribes spp.; Grossulariaceae)
* Grape, Vitis vinifera
* Honeysuckle: the berries of some species are edible and are called honeyberries, but others are poisonous (Lonicera spp.; Caprifoliaceae)
* Lingonberry Vaccinium vitis-idaea
* Mayapple (Podophyllum spp.; Berberidaceae)
* Nannyberry or sheepberry (Viburnum spp.; Caprifoliaceae)
* Oregon-grape (Mahonia aquifolium; Berberidaceae)
* Strawberry Tree (Arbutus unedo), not to be confused with the actual strawberry (Fragaria)
* Tomato and other species of the family Solanaceae
* Banana
* Cranberry
* Watermelon

For real. If the choice was between burritos and blackberries or whatever, I'd have a harder time. "Berries" is way too broad in scope.

also avocado but they got their own so whatever

still: Falafel, Crisps, Burritos, Crab

although like a bunch of other people this one has an eh vs eh for me, because I eat neither crab nor poutine and never particularly cared about either when I did eat them: I ate some nice crab once in Bangkok, though, so that wins

This is the clusterfuck waiting to happen. SWEET PIES, CRISPS, BERRIES, CRAB, GOD SAVE THE QUEEN

Falafel, Bagels, Burritos, Poutine

― I DONT WANT TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR SAVED CHALK (jjjusten)

the opposite of this disgusting savage

^^^CLOSET BRITISH, COME TO MY ARMS

Haaah I was exactly the same as jjj although I'm slightly regretting pie > falafel.

GO AND LIVE ELSEWHERE YOU TURNCOAT

for real, sweet pie might be my number one food of all time

Sweet pie nothing without custard, and inferior to crumble, so I ended up voting falafel. With you on the rest.

had to google wth poutine is

gross

berries v burritos is weirdly hard for me.

sweet pie, crisps vs. bagel who cares? but voted crisps, berries (OMG, the fresh raspberries/blackberries/marionberries/boysenberries right now in our farmers market, amazing explosions of sweet tart summer heaven in your mouth), crab

had to google wth poutine is

gross

It does look like some sort of crime against humanity on a plate tbh

and it takes three days to digest, seriously

vs

http://dailystupid.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/coconut-crab-attack-eats-humans.jpg

it's just cheesy chips with a bit of gravy, isn't it? if that's cuisine, god help Canada.

falafel, fries, burritos, poutine

err crisps sory

honestly I'm scareder of the poutine than the crab in NickB's post

this is the poll that breaks my streak of picking the unhealthy option every time. poutine... it's just too much.

the weird thing about poutine is that it looks incredibly simple to make, but there aren't really that many places that get it right.

Falafel, Bagels, Burritos, Poutine

it hurts to vote against berries cause technically 'blueberries' are my answer to 'what's your favorite food?' - but since they're just a small member of that much larger group, no way I'm voting for that over burritos.

man, falafel, bagels, burritos and berries could basically be a final four for me.

yeah blueberries are what are tripping me up in the berries v. burritos choice

blueberry pie is also the pie that makes pie all-time for me

yeah I'd take a burrito over a bowl of mixed berries, but not over a bowl of blueberries, so that's how I'm reasoning it out

I didn't know what "poutine" was either, had to google it. I kinda feel bad for voting for such a disgusting thing, but as vegetarian I still had to choose it, as crab is even more disgusting.

Falafel is pretty much my favourite veggie dish ever, but I wish it had been matched with something similar to it in function, instead of such a wide and varied category as "sweet pies". Still, falafel.

Tuomas, vegetarian gravy is possible (made with a good rich roasted vegetable stock, it would be really good), so vegetarian poutine is possible.

for the poutine objectors i totally get why on the surface it seems dull or gross (my thoughts until some got forced on me) but then you have a good poutine and your eyes are opened to the stars

oh god is "pie" in contention in some bracket?

i will str8 murder ppl if pie doesn't take it

its like in flatland when the main character gets picked up by the bird but with more gravy covered curds. also probably more amazing.

xpost gbx i meet you at sundown on falafel street for our duel

dude is that in st paul, you know i don't go there

(snaaaaaaaaaaaaap)

Sweet Pie, group C

Savory Pies, coming up in F

Even if it was vegetarian I would find poutine disgusting... I just find greasy fast food nasty, and looks like poutine combines three different kinds of greasiness.

i could take or leave a savory pie tbh; does that mean evan is going to murder me?

yep

unless you hide in st paul where the right-minded live

you betcha

this is because you're crypto-british, i think

jesus christ savory pie is actually the best fucking pie there is

U R DEAD TO ME

sad! i don't know, it's weird to put meat in a pie. it makes me think of sweeney todd, also.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApmvDU5RmyY

savory pie = calzones? samosas? empanadas?
if so, SAVORY PIE

pasties?!?!

oh good point. you can call off the hit, evan.

empanadas are really good. i lack imagination when it comes to these broad categories, i guess.

so hungry right now btw.

so many different kinds of empanadas too

can't believe you didn't consider the samosa

who's desi now????

i know, right. i'm so ashamed!

god i would fucking murder a samosa right now, no joke

murder

i forgot the mighty sambusa

mmmmmmmmmmm

(friend of the samosa)

to be clear savory pies assuming that contains concepts like "shepherds" and "pot" is going to be a top contender for me

so i think that mpls and stpl have reached a detente i guess

btw if you want to go all experimental in your poutine experience throw some kraut in the middle. it is so good that your eyes will pop out of your head

(Credit for krautine attributed to Cooks Revenge at the T-rock btw)

There are so many great crisps yet only one decent enough bagel (onion bagel).

Before I vote in this one, does "sweet pies" include apple and/or pumpkin? Or are those considered "savory"? (I definitely like them more the more savory, and less sweet, they are, but I need some guidance here. Does "savory" mean, like, chicken pot pies or something?)

yeah, sweet pies = all dessert pies; apple, pumpkin, custard, etc
savory = chicken pot pie, UK meat pies, that sort of thing

Okay, in that case I'll go Sweet Pies, Bagels, Burritos, Crab, even though the vast majority of sweet pies just make me gag. At least I like a couple. (Falafel always just tasted bleh to me; probably I just haven't had the good stuff. Though I'd probably find a higher percentage of falafel than sweet pies bearable. But still.)

Sweet Pies, Crisps, Berries, Crab

ridiculously easy. falafel is just one kinda fried vegetable patty, bagels are just one kind of bread, berries = the best food period, and poutine is revolting (and delicious, but still revolting).

crisps, i assume, includes all varieties of thin fried starch (potato chips, tortilla chips, etc.).

sweet pies, bagels, burritos, POUTINE

fuk u if u pick a crab
well whatever, it's probably not your fault you haven't had poutine
but to the poutine haters on this thread: fu
poutine is the only time i have EVER considered making a puppet acc't on this board

it's just chips cheese and gravy isn't it?

in which case where's deep fried mars bars in the bracket

yes it's chips cheese and gravy. it's not great. it's actually the worst thing on all these polls imo

it sounds ridiculously dislikeable tbh

Fuck wikipedia and its "botanical berries" concept, if I can't vote for raspberries and strawberries here then they aren't even in the poll, and that would be a crime against humanity

goddamn botanists redefining words to exclude things those words have referred to for 1000 years (thank you OED for citation of "strawberry" at c.1000AD)

chips cheese and gravy

"Chips" = French fries, right? And actually cheese curd, apparently. Whatever that is. Sounds stomach-turning. Anyway, pretty sure I tried some poutine in Montreal once, to no avail. (Fries with gravy are definitely better than fries w/o, though.)

Sweet Pies, Bagels, Berries, Poutine

I love most types of pie, especially pecan, apple, coconut, blueberry, and on and on. Royer's Round Top Cafe has some of the best pie in the world.

I chose bagels although these days I probably eat more chips (crisps? are you for real?). Bagels are a sentimental favorite. Maybe I'll scoop up my son and take him over to Einstein's right now.

Berries because, despite my love for Mexican and Mexican varients, I find burritos to be kind of gross. Too much stuff shoveled into one enormous wrapper. Berries are good in pies!

Poutine, even though the only time I've ever had poutine was at Frank in Austin. I have no idea how authentic it was, but it was derned yummy.

berry burrito

poutine made with deep fried soft shell crab insteAd of fries

haha ^^^ gis of "strawberry burrito" reveals pics but I don't want to turn these into image threads, tempting though that may be

chips are not french fries!

some british poutine, yesterday
http://img.skitch.com/20100725-xdyds22grsa9rjqk1kdf22ea86.jpg
(dunno what the long thing is, kinda looks like an upturned eclair)

(think it's actually a 'sausage', in retrospect)

chips are not french fries!

― dill hai to mango aur (cozen)

i'm guessing you're saying this under the assumption that all american french fries are thin, which isn't true. thicker fries are typically served in non-fast food joints, sometimes they're referred to as "steak fries".

ah ok

so the 'french fries' category in group E covers chips then

yes

If that is what the rest of the world thinks poutine is, it doesn't have a chance here.

yeah, i've never had poutine, but that looks like a styrofoam box overflowing with barf.

that's british late-night 'institution' chips cheese and gravy

aaagh...it's no good having images turned off if I'm going to click on the links. My god!

Chips with Satan's sewage effluent, oh my god yes yum.

that looks horrible, though I suspect it's not hard to find pics making even the bestest foods look nasty. fwiw I found a CFS pic that looks like an abortion but I will not post it b/c we don't really need that

Yeah, Tuomas might confuse it with anegg.

sure chips cheese and gravy was common enough in britain but maybe I just knew some manky people once upon a time?

reading around seemingly it's more an isle of man thing

anyway I feel bad for rubbishing poutine so much, sorry will m.

i have finally voted sweet pies, bagels, burritos, crab, reasoning that i can get my blueberry fix through pie, so it's okay to vote burrito. i've never had poutine; it seems like exactly the kind of thing i'd love, though.

Flaffle. not sweet therefore WIN
Crisps. Bagels here are typically inedible novelty items, maybe they're great in NYC or somewhere, I dunno. Crisps are the food of the Lord Himself.
Berries = strawberries, blackberries, blueberries... vs Chiquito's. hmm. again, maybe they're amazing in america or somewhere
Crab is nice. Poutine appears to be cheesy chips. Cheesy chips got banned from our school canteen because it was the cheapest thing you could buy and so you'd have more money left over for fiery gobstoppers and cigs. So crab for being nice and not causing heart attacks, either directly, or by proxy at school.

british people don't have to vote for burritos, but they should accept that they've never had them

in return I will take back some of the things I said about savory pies

haha otm

i live in the SF Bay Area and have had many a delicious burrito - but berries, no contest, there is no substitute for great berries, one can sub tacos for burritos and be thoroughly satisfied.

any european who wants one should try this place:

http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,1564,1500156,00.html

they were pretty decent there actually

not like A+++ or anything but they will give you an idea of what to expect when you finally move to america

you only get mexican food in america, we know

lol iatee. I have had what I was led to believe were burritos, and by and large they have been ok, but not anything special. happy to concede that US/mexican burritos are much elevated, hard to think they might be better than the blackberries in my garden.

although, the mexican food in copenhagen was very nice.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^this^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

although ;) @ including cozen's post in that

you invited lj to your garden????

I have bramble bushes in my garden too - they're pretty common. On my big walk recently I found some roadside brambles and slaked my hunger effectively therefrom.

our version of 'gardens/roadside brambles' is taco trucks, which are better imo cause you can also get a soda

and our version of taco trucks are kebab vans, which are better imo because FUCK YOU I'M CYPRIOT kebabs are much lighter upon the palate

kebabs are kinda heavy. i think i still prefer them to tacos forever though, i hope this gets to kebabs vs tacos

When I eat a kebab, I always feel like I'm eating a meat popsicle.

we have kebabs here too, they're just not in our tier 1 of junk food cause we got so much better stuff taking up that space

kebabs are much lighter upon the palate

calling bullshit yet again

I've never actually had a taco or a burrito, yeah, I know (although I've had plenty of stuff DESCRIBED as tacos and burritos made by Spanish-speaking folk so really idk)

A good kebab has a dry-edged, salad-stuffed juiciness to it that seems a world away from taco slop - it's much airier and for me at least more refreshing - and proper kebabs, as opposed to fast-food ones, are meat at p much its most tasty, but again, though, I ought to head across the Atlantic before dismissing Mexican food.

sure chips cheese and gravy was common enough in britain but maybe I just knew some manky people once upon a time?

chips + cheese, chips + gravy, never seen them both together though.

actual tacos are largely about the interplay of fresh salad-stuffs (a little lettuce, a little radish) & fillings

Mexican food is godlike in its awesomeness

I've had mexican in america anyway and it wasn't even all that; yankees are omg frontin

indian > mexican

should be a poll

no it shouldn't because I'd get all angered by the results again

mexican vs indian poll thread would result in a few 'hey dudes I'm outs'

I would create a sock just so I could vote for both

choosing between indian and mexican: that way lies madness

I def wanna do a ethnic cuisine food fight after this one is over

I'd vote Indian, Indian's my favorite food, but Mexican food is pretty damn close - if I still ate meat, I probably wouldn't be able to pick between the two but Indian food just pwns the whole world for veggie stuff

there was a europe one and an asia one and...italian and indian won I think?

For a vegetarian, Indian vs Mexican is not a hard choice at all.

(x-post with J0hn)

man I can't imagine what mexican food in finland is but...

also Cozen went the Chipotle in Times Square, which 100% still doesn't count

the italian vs mexican food poll was pretty heated iirc

didnt it come down to 1 vote with like 100+ votes?

Mexican Food 89
Italian Food 85

I def wanna do a ethnic cuisine food fight after this one is over

that will be fun as hell and guaranteed to make my head explode -- just the thought of picking between Mexican, Vietnamese and Japanese hurts my brain.

Indian food just pwns the whole world for veggie stuff

this is urgent and key - Indian food is all about the combinations of sauces, spices and starches, meat is pretty much an optional extra

is indian food the beatles of food?

y'all just haven't had good Chinese food

Mexican Food 89
Italian Food 85

RIP Italian food

http://www.elmoreleonard.com/images/uploads/dp1dmd3wbbwtr84aezkc.jpg

ha we should poll the dishes from the cena Trimalchionis

indian food is one of my faves but is just barely edged out by the just slightly more awesome but similar options of nepalese and kurdish food which if you have not had them are absolutely the best of the bunch.

both of these restaurants are within shouting distance of my house. god i love my food obsessed hometown

is indian food the beatles of food?

making me lol for some reason

actual tacos are largely about the interplay of fresh salad-stuffs (a little lettuce, a little radish) & fillings

the best taco truck tacos consist of: meat & salsa (salsa could include extra helpings of onions and cilantro) - radishes are served on the side, as are sometimes, if you are v v fortunate, amazing pickled carrots. If someone were a vegetarian, I could totally see not voting for tacos.

You're talking about what's standard in California, I think (and maybe with NYC, have basically no experience there). In Texas bean and cheese tacos are totally standard (and certainly worthy of "the best" status)---the refritos are often cooked in lard, but there are plenty of places that cook veg refritos and are still great. Plus as something to have at hand around the house, it's tough to beat bean and cheese tacos.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

berries vs burritos is damn close but i fear the worst

berries vs burritos is a tie, isn't it?

if it is then I will procure WmC some berries from my garden, then I will make him a burrito, and he will have to choose between them

quit trying to ruin the chances of the mighty burrito

poor poutine! j/k poutine is gross

the ONE person who voted Falafel, Crisps, Berries, Poutine must really like fried foods and berries

you know, bearotaur and burrito share a lot of letters!

there is no "I" in bearotaur

there are three "u"s in fuck you burrito-voters!

i do really like burritos - though i would be scared of what LJ would consider a burrito

there are three "u"s in fuck you burrito-voters!
hahahaha

Did crisps pull through or what?

felafel 78/ sweet pies 62
bagels 75/ crisps 65
burritos 70/berries 70
crab 91/ poutine 49

feel free to check my math but i think thats right

I will procure WmC some berries from my garden, then I will make him a burrito, and he will have to choose between them

anti sweet food bias has felled my favorite food of all time. i blame boys.

bye bye dear lemon meringue pie ... *sob*

I voted pie ahead of Mediterranean food - if that ain't commitment to the pie cause...

*falls victim to gbx's indiscriminate pie axe*

This'll be the day that they die etc xp

w/e fuck u guys, i am seeing two of my favorite pie bakingest ladies this weekend and all i have to do is put on a frown and look a little bummed and ~bam~ u have a pie

(srsly why did i ever move out---free haircuts and free bummer-day pies)

wow i would like to know these ladies

dude why fuck us? everyone who's posted since ur outburst voted pie iirc

are we still on for lunch btw

oh totally LJ

i just meant fuck this pie-hating earth

hs they are the best ladies...seriously, when i lived with my friend ___, she would basically make you a pie if you asked really nicely. like, homemade everything, it was wonderful. i only ever asked if i was bummed out

With homemade crust?

I would bake a sad friend many a thing, but a pie is not one of them. I don't own a rolling pin, though.

i might make a pie tonight in defiance of this poll. irl consequences.

i need to learn how to bake

totally homemade crust. i would watch agape but she was like "w/e this is easy"

i mean this is the kinda girl who has probably been baking pies since she was like 7, u know

put some in a box and bring it to englande maybe?

hmmm

u know my sister might be moving to england!

(unrelated. she does not bake pies)

haha I was not being entirely srs. will have to imagineer ur interactive 3D pie experience in the pieless squalor of my own unamerican home

Falafel 78 > Sweet Pies 62
Bagels 75 > Crisps 65
Berries 70 = Burritos 70 UH OH
Crab 91 > Poutine 49

damn falafel vs. bagels is gonna require some major soul searching

I know, it's like the ultimate Sephardic/Israeli vs. Ashkenazic throwdown for the heart of world Jewry

Or is that not what you meant?

burritos to win by virtue of just being better

no I'm jewish, that's basically what I meant

sephardic/israeli

but I eat bagels more often these days

Bagels over falafel narrowly for me, but the general question of Ashkenazic vs. Sephardic is a tough one -- Iraqi and Yemeni Israelis make some amazing freaking food but in the end I think my sentimental attachment to pickled herring, stuffed cabbage, lox and bagel, whitefish salad, and pastrami, for god's sake, pastrami! keeps me home with my people.

We shall return to this important issue in round 2.

iraqi and yemeni = technically 'mizrahi' but even my dad says sephardic

maybe I will just go w/ my roots, best falafel I've ever had is 10x better than the best bagel I've ever had

but damn I eat so many bagels, like I probably eat more bagels than anything else on this list

CMON BERRIES

i propose that the caloric test be scrapped because it unfairly favors prepared foods
run off?

yes, there's a lightning round tiebreaker -- ILX FOOD FIGHT!!! Round One Tiebreakers -- vote fast or forever hold your pickle

iraqi and yemeni = technically 'mizrahi' but even my dad says sephardic

OK but then so is falafel! The people who make it don't speak Ladino, that's for damn sure.

eephus thank you for helping me reason this out - my resentment of other jews is strong enough to make falafel an easy vote

falafuckingfel over sweet pies wtf? like people are so in love with fried cumin bean paste that they'd chuck an entire wonderful category of foods (cherry pie, apple pie, key lime pie, chocolate cream pie, strawberry rhubarb pie, ETC!!!) for that one little wad of fried cumin bean? sick thoughts in yr heads people.

and i like fafuckinglafel

and burritos over berries (getting steemd here)?!? a burrito is just an ARRANGEMENT. you could make a small one and call it a taco. you could not fold it and call it a quesadilla or something. but berries are an irreplaceable essence! you'd take a particular arrangement of bean/cheese/meat/tortilla over every kind of berry that ever was? over strawberries and blueberries and raspberries and blackberries and and and...

falafel should have lost just to pie crust

ashkenazi voting falafel over here

Sweet pies AND savoury pies out? FUCK THIS SHIT

yeah srsly i am aghast

in two days i am going to be eating wild blueberries in ontario cottage country as i pick them directly off the whatever-they-grow-on. never had a wild blueberry before. will have a mo of silence to remember their slaughter vs. burritos. perhaps i will wrap them in a flatbread w/ beans and bury it because that probably has significance or something.

Blueberries are the awesomeest because no thorns -- they're so inviting, just hanging there on the bush saying "I'm ripe now...wouldn't you like to touch me? Put me in your mouth...I'll just go off at the slightest pressure... here, I'm hiding demurely behind this leaf...but I'm actually not wearing anything..."

Hahahaha I am so uncomfortable irl right now.

o shit l0u1s jagg3r hacked into a mod account

contenderizer your rants here are a thing of beauty

however this is false:

a burrito is just an ARRANGEMENT. you could make a small one and call it a taco. you could not fold it and call it a quesadilla or something.

Will M, if you mix those wild blueberries with sugar and lemon juice, and heat them over low heat until they begin to break down, and maybe stir through a little corn starch to thicken, and ladle them onto a warm flour tortilla and then either deep fry it or pan-fry it in some butter, and then spoon a little whipped cream or powdered sugar or even some plain yogurt across top, you will thank me later

brb

I left out that you need to fold the tortilla up nicely, don't forget that part, sorry

imo don't mess with blueberries - doing *anything* to them makes them less blueberry-like. just eat them plain, already the best food around.

like blueberries stewed with something sweeter tbh- either honey or maybe some demerera, or a sweeter fruit like strawberries, bananas.

pancake subbed for aero's tortilla does just as nicely for dessert or breakfast

God this sounds amazing. I can't do it where we're picking them (food prep, let alone non-immediately-edible ingredients, are right out) but I am gonna try to bring a bucket back or something and do this @ home. Yay!

iatee a blueberry pie is a thing of such transcendent greatness that I must take exception to your claim. they are truly incredible no doubt but really man. blueberry pie.

falafuckingfel over sweet pies wtf? like people are so in love with fried cumin bean paste that they'd chuck an entire wonderful category of foods (cherry pie, apple pie, key lime pie, chocolate cream pie, strawberry rhubarb pie, ETC!!!) for that one little wad of fried cumin bean?

fucking yes, every single time

pies can go eat a pig vagina (aka "sausage")

hahaha these terrible results!!!

man I would take a bowl of fresh blueberries + maybe some fresh cream over any pie in the universe

guys i am eating blue berries RIGHT NOW

im eating fresh blackberries w/ yogurt

u know whats good is a mixed berry crumble

also impressed that ilx managed to get so many simple things so wrong... i mean CRAB????? ITS A FUCKEN MONSTER FROM THE DEEP NOT SOMETHING U EAT

it's a floor wax AND a dessert topping

I think you meant "ITS A FUCKEN MONSTER FROM THE DEEP AND SOMETHING U EAT, AWESOME"

pasta/fruit/chicken salads are salad in name only - I mean they're just a combination of stuff mixed together and if that counts as 'salad' then cereal could just be 'milk and oat salad'.

also chicken salad - how did that get left off? definitely canon

chicken salad - how does that work?

crab salad > chicken salad, just to tie up the two directiosn we're headed in here

lamp are you saying ur pro poutine

i would vote for "dirt" or "roast puppies" over crab, most likely. how eating shellfish isnt on the level of like, eating centipedes in our culture is a serious mystery to me

but naw poutine p much sux too.
