1. What meals have left you feeling disgusting and worthless as a human being? They must be real.

240g bag of Miss Vickie's Original Recipe chips with a little bowl of ketchup.

Two reheated Big Macs or two microwaved bavarian smokies with a little bowl of ketchup.

Anytime I try to eat vegetables to impress girls and surrender within bite three.

2. List your most successful comedown foods.

Chunky New England Clam Chowder with hot sauce.

Yoplait Strawberry Yogurt (not thick at all) shaken till very thin, ingested very quickly, chased with very hot hot chocolate (made with milk).

If I have it in me to leave the house, I'll usually go japanese and drink piping-hot miso soup to salve my throat and then I'll move on to very basic sushi like tuna roll.

Has to be cornflakes, with water coz the milk is off.

My father has a connection with asian food company Lotte, which interests me because they have this drink called "2%" which is, without exaggeration, the GREATEST comedown beverage in the world. A lot of the companies pushing disgusting fizzy or fruity comedown drinks at afterparties don't realize that any definable taste or tactile sensation has the capacity to linger chafingly, almost as bad as the unthinkable boredom of further water ingestion. If I could market this shit right it would be gangbusters.

By the way, all Vancouverites should be mourning today's fire on Arbutus that destroyed two of the greatest food standbys in the city, Win's and Mexi Cali. I ate at Mexi Cali three times a week, Win's at least once a week. The guy who runs Mexi Cali is a folk hero.

jamon

Wait a minute, so Michael Jackson DIDN'T invent that word?!?!?

― LC, Tuesday, 23 March 2004 11:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Prawns with Chilli and Salt (posh comedown but since my brother left and it's just 3 of us at home my parents often take me out for dinner on Sundays, by the time I've eaten this I'm ready for a bottle of tiger or something)

generally, mcdonalds all the way.

also yops are a big favourite.

unthinkable boredom of further water ingestion

so eloquently put and true.

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 11:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Serious answer - I get disgusted with myself when I have like a week of eating huge portions of lardy food at every mealtime, when I *know* that there is fat in my bloodstream laying down supplies. So few individual meals make me feel this way (though clearing other people's plates after eating an enormous meal myself is kind of close - I get some kind of mania and have to forcibly restrain myself/be restrained), but the month of December, for example, makes me feel gross and enormous and deeply ashamed.

― Markelby (Mark C), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 11:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh, and at university when I went back for a second doner kebab. But that was more the financial outlay. It's astonishing to think of how tightfisted I was in those days (as the atcress etc. etc.).

― Markelby (Mark C), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 11:28 (twenty-two years ago)

comedown = canned mackrel on buttered toast

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 11:36 (twenty-two years ago)

In the days I was still taking pills I used to try and eat Marmite. Apparently it's a good source of Thiamin (?!) which is supposed to remedy your poor brain.

I used to know all this. The facts are a little shky now.

― Anna (Anna), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 11:38 (twenty-two years ago)

My colleague has just given me a very very buttery chocolate croissant, so right NOW I feel disgusted with myself while still having a hard-on for the greasy oozing goodness between my harlot mlips.

― Markelby (Mark C), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 11:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Your mlips?

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 11:45 (twenty-two years ago)

When I used to live at home & I'd come home in the morning after being out all night having been to a club taking pills, my dad would cook me fried eggs on toast. (he didn't know I was on pills) It was great to scoff those with a mug of tea & then go and slide into bed! Sorry dad!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 11:49 (twenty-two years ago)

MMMMLIPS. I'VE JUST COME.

― Markelby (Mark C), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 11:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Maybe you could help LC out above Mark.

Avocado roll with cum wasabi

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 11:54 (twenty-two years ago)

ahem, you didn't paste the (for her)!!!

Cum correct!

― LC, Tuesday, 23 March 2004 11:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Ronan correct with the prawns! Our club strip (Granville) has one palacial chinese restaurant (Tsui Hang Village) that's open till 5 and extra spicy tiger prawn is popular because I assume the spicy savoury assault can power through the most traumatized tastebud murk.

― LC, Tuesday, 23 March 2004 12:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Well you can't expect the lady to chow down if you're not gonna sample the goods too!

Mark is close enough to Harbour City, which take the almighty comedown possibilities of dim sum and further kick it into the stratosphere by making the most lush deep fried salt and chili soft-shell crabs (try asking for that in a state of mongage) which you down with endless cups of jasmine tea and eventually you work your way around to the steamed veg in oyster sauce, to ingest actual vitamins in a non-threatening manner.

Anna will back me on the restorative properties of Japanese mashed potato salad and kara age chicken.

Usually, however, there's this thing called toast, which is eaten with heroic amounts of butter, applied as if cheese.

― suzy (suzy), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 12:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Toast certainly does have healing qualities!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 12:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Stop talking about sex. Always with the sex!

― Markelby (Mark C), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 12:25 (twenty-two years ago)

this place gets weirder and weirder.

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 12:25 (twenty-two years ago)

i feel like hell any time i eat fast food. i seem to have learned my lesson, and with the exception of mcdonald's fries haven't had any in ages. agreed about the miraculous restorative powers of toast, and anything from the b&h dairy lunch counter on 2nd avenue or sun hop shing tea house on mott street makes me feel better.

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 16:02 (twenty-two years ago)

The most depressing meals are the ones I've cooked under the assumption that someone was going to be joining me for the eating and then they neither show up nor call and thus I wait and wait and eventually once I realize they're not gonna show I eat both meals which are now cold and drink the whole bottle of wine by myself. I don't know what bothers me more; the fact that this has happened or the fact that it's happened enough times that I've grown familiar with it.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 16:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Furr's Family Diner - Tulsa, Oklahoma. The dirtiest, nastiest shit I've ever seen. I ate country-fried chicken//pork (they weren't sure which it was) and jello. I was fighting the gag reflex the whole time.

2nd worst: BDs mongolian barbeque - feeding frenzy of fat americans. Left the place smelling like meat.

Sorry - read the title wrong. nevermind.

― dave225 (Dave225), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 16:10 (twenty-two years ago)

I wish by "comedown food" you had meant "best meals while coming down off of an acid trip", in which case mine was raw whole cucumbers & garlic cloves eaten in the middle a crippling bout of laughter.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 16:12 (twenty-two years ago)

lauren OTM about fast food, it always makes me feel rife with self-disgust, I haven't had it in years at this point.

Comedown food I prefer is probably sushi, it always makes me feel clean and healthy. Preferably salmon nigiri, yellowtail and scallion rolls, and plain tuna rolls.

― webcrack (music=crack), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 16:35 (twenty-two years ago)

nickalicious - how about a pint of milk drunk through a curtain?

― chris (chris), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 16:51 (twenty-two years ago)

A couple of years ago I found myself in the Taco Bell drive thru all alone and ordering Nachos Supreme. As soon as the order leaves my mouth I hear it repeated in mocking fashion from a car full of young hotties behind me in a new BMW. It really bugged me, as if it were junior high or something.

But yeah, ordering nachos at Taco Bell all alone is depressing and probably mock-worthy.

― Aaron A., Tuesday, 23 March 2004 16:58 (twenty-two years ago)

there's a horribly big domino effect with all this stuff for me, like eating badly/smoking/drug ingestion, I think smoking may be bottom of the pile, if you're smoking then eating badly is only the second thing you need to sort out. it's like you have so much unhealthiness to worry about your brain just goes "no more worrying".

I think in my second year of college I led the gankiest lifestyle of any human being ever.

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 18:39 (twenty-two years ago)

My favorite thing to eat (besides noodles in Chinatown) after a night of too much fun id a goat cheese/onion/apple omelette with french fries and lots of buttered toast from Florent in the Meatpacking District (NYC). It makes me feel like new.

― Jay Vee (Manon_70), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 19:03 (twenty-two years ago)

new york noodletown and wonton garden have very healing noodle soups.

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 19:35 (twenty-two years ago)

I bet that was some good shit Chris.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 19:39 (twenty-two years ago)

it was fluffy, we also stole into an allotment and nicked some green beans off the runners, they were the freshest, crispest things ever
