Cold versus Hot.

Sandwiches are disgusting. So are rolls. So is any food that is cold. It does not fill you nor does it please you to eat it on a cold day.

Hot drinks on the other hand are silly. Cold drinks and hot food are the way to go.

Fruit should be kept out of savoury food, for example Pineapple on Pizza is disgusting and I always have to pick them off but they still leave their disgusting juice damn it. Sometimes the supermarket have been known to have mandarin on pizza also. No thank you.

I have also on occasion found large uncut up lumps of pineapple in chinese food almost causing me to vomit.

So clearly these are all important issues, both nationally and personally.

The only hot drink I have time for is beechams when I have a cold. It's kind of addictive.

― Ronan, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Whippersnapper is faddy eater. Should we be shocked? I say embrace all kinds of food , hot or cold. You never know when it may save your life.

But food aside would you rather be too hot or to cold? I prefer being too cold. I cope very badly with hot weather, but that's probably to do with having red hair and burning miserably every time the sun acts a proper sun.

Finickity bugger. But correct on fruit/pizza error.

― RickyT, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

And also raisins in curry. Why?

I am not sure which supermarket is putting mandarins on its pizzas but I am intrigued by their audacity. However other than this Ronan is clearly mad. What about icecream? That's cold. So are biscuits. And sandwiches are lovely. And cold roast chicken, mmm.

It's an Irish supermarket which probably explains everything. and yes raisins in curry, ugh. Raisins in general are disgusting, they're the kind of thing some strange child would bring to school when you're 5 or something and then get in a fight over.

― Ronan, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

How about raisins and mandarins in curry? Yum yum!

I am not a mentalist.

Probably.

― mms, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

You are a mentalist.

― RickyT, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Raisins are not weird! I have lately been bringing little baby packs of Sunmaid raisins in to work to increase my fruit and veg intake. I guess this makes me the strange child of the office.

― Emma, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm going to get a tattoo of a grape and when i get older it will be a raisin. Multifunctional tattoos.

― Hank, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

This thread is a mentalist magnet.

I prefer being too hot to too cold but those around me at the time might surely disagree.

Raisins in curry = #1 school catering crime. For fucks sake leave them out! It doesn't add anything to the already disgusting "lamb" curry slop the dinner ladies put in front of us.

― Tom, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Hawaiian pizza = YUM. Ham and pineapple YAY! You're all wrong (unless someone agreed and I didn't see). HOWEVAH once I had LYCHEES in a curry and now THERE was a fearful mistake. I do however think bananas in curry are NUM NUM.

― Sarah, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

See also big chunks of apple in lamb curry school dinner weirdness.

― RickyT, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Any skool dinner which is not CHIPS GRAVY (and perhaps SOSAGE) is wrong in the first place! I assume you mean high school dinner, no nippers got curry in my primary school. It was all MUSHY PEAS from a VAT of SNOT.

― Sarah, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I need to elaborate. Like it's rolls and sandwiches that really scare me. you know those delis you go into and you get a filled roll? And the people use their hands to slap it together.All the ingredients are cold, even the ham is cold. And when I say cold I don't mean cold like not hot, I mean cold like a dead fish(or pig in this case) or your forehead if you've just been vomiting. And the coleslaw is cold, and combined with the bread which is sort of dry and everything else the whole thing is DISGUSTING. clammy is the word im looking for, like remember the pampers ads where they used to say "to prevent cold clammy skin", i bet that baby feels like the ham you get in rolls.

actually thinking about the last filled roll I had makes me feel ill.

my hatred of sandwiches is a school thing.

ice cream is different cos you don't sit down and eat it for lunch unless you are truly mental. also it has to be cold otherwise it's not ice cream. whereas ham and things and chicken too (you know that kind of jelly that forms on cold roast chicken, its connected in my head with that stuff that you see on grass in fields that looks like spit) ham and chicken arent meant to be cold or dont have to be.

oh yes i have funny food ideas.

― Ronan, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I think you are either going to the wrong sandwich shops or choosing the wrong fillings. Tuna mayo is not clammy. Roasted meats (NUM) are not clammy if they are half way decent.

Or perhaps you are just a mentalist.

― Emma, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Living in the wrong country perhaps as much as going to the wrong delis.

And perhaps a bit of mentalism thrown in.

― Ronan, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Before ILE, I thought a mentalist was someone with mental powers.

― Dan Perry, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Awwwww! Dan's great!

― Sarah, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Utterly wonderful, he is. Praise him with great praise!

Hawaiian pizza = great; Ronan = led into ways of folly.

The conundrum is an interesting one, though. I veer back and forth between hot and cold lunches, and it doesn't always have to do with the weather. I do agree that cold drinks and hot food is wunderbar, though, and as a rule don't have hot drinks with meals. As separate things to sip, though, that's another matter.

If god had intended us to make Hawaiian pizza he would have allowed pineapples to grow in Italy.

― RickyT, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

This is where classifying tomatoes as fruit is going to run into problems.

― youn, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

you know that kind of jelly that forms on cold roast chicken, its connected in my head with that stuff that you see on grass in fields that looks like spit

I fear that I will ahve that connection from now on too. I used to hate the jelly you get in pork pies for similar, though not identical reasons, but I can stomach it now. As for that horrible jelly stuff on cold roast chicken it doesn't seem right. It seems to be an admission on the part of the chicken that is no longer edible.

― Jonnie, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

If god had intended us to make Hawaiian pizza he would have allowed pineapples to grow in Italy.

By this logic, god would have intended us to make pizza in general by allowing *tomatoes* to grow in Italy, which only happened in the 18th century. So hush and eat, or Sarah will Take You to Task.

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Ricky T is bang on the money. I never thought of it like that. Also I tend to ask for alot of garlic salami on a pizza, are you suggesting garlic is nice with fruit?

Other foods that are disgusting are underfried eggs. "potato wedges", ie lumps of msg that have been baking away in one of those glass display units all fuckin day. And orange juice with bits in it, the sensation of drinking it is so disgusting, you could be swallowing anything.

Also dairylea or laughing cow or any of those cheeses, without mentioning the fact that you need a degree in engineering to open the fuckin things without ripping the sad cheese triangle into pieces, they taste disgusting. yes they too are clammy.

― Ronan, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

In fact I should have called this thread "SPAR-SATANS LITTLE HELPER". And the worst part is all the spar enthusiasts I know think their food is healthier than a mcdonalds.

― Ronan, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Pineapple on pizza rocks. I can't understand weird brit ways however. Curry in school lunches? Oranges on pizza? weirdos. Hank dear, where exactly are you getting the grapes tattoos?

― Samantha, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Ah, but tomatoes can grow in Italy whereas pineapples cannot. Thus my point still stands.

― RickyT, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Pah! CONSUME OR DIE.

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I think you'll find that should read: CONSUME AND DIE. Cos of all the vomiting that will ensue when the foul pineapple flavour interferes with the tasty pizza goodness.

― RickyT, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

this is like the way people still put mint sauce on lamb despite the fact that it started as a way to kill the taste of shit meat. people in HAWAII or wherever had nothing better to put on pizzas so they just fuckin tried anything.

do you eat garlic pineapples often ned?

― Ronan, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

garlic pineapple. . yum.

― Samantha, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I was about to say, that could work if done right. :-) Sounds like something for Gilroy! Home of garlic!

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Bah, stinky link! Try here instead.

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

two years pass...

this thread was great. I stand by everything I said above.

― Ronan (Ronan), Saturday, 28 February 2004 01:37 (twenty-two years ago)

I think this is where I first made it clear that Hawaiian pizza is a wonder and joy of this universe.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 28 February 2004 01:45 (twenty-two years ago)

I think this is where I first seconded Ned's affinity for Hawaiian pizza.

My preference, however is for Hawaiian pizza with jalapenos added. That is genius.

― martin m. (mushrush), Saturday, 28 February 2004 01:46 (twenty-two years ago)

six years pass...

Generally this is an 'grass is always greener on the other side' one for me, but right now I'll go for hot over cold.
