Round Two polls will go up tomorrow night after tiebreaker poll closes.

berries, peaches. runny fruit juice exploding in your mouth. so refreshing and healthy. not like greasy fatty stodgy meat product. nature's gifts to the human palate. pluck them from the tree. sink your teeth in. you are communing with Hera

I am the anti-jagger in this poll

hera always seemed like kind of like a vengeful bitch I dunno if that's the best way to sell these things

burritos - so refreshing and healthy. not like some runny fruit juice exploding in your mouth. nature's gift to the human palate. pluck them from the mexican place down the street. sink your teeth in. you are communicating with Huitzilopochtli.

Berries, Peaches

Like I said in the other threads -- no burritos? OK, I still have tacos. No ribs? OK, I still have pulled pork.

like i said in the other threads, no burritos? OK, I still have tacos. No peaches? OK I still have apricots and nectarines.

xxpost -- channelling TIM at KFC.EDU there

people who pick berries are morally bad people

^^ just denigrated all of california

Yeah, burritos take berries for sure. I've found that berries are the fruit most likely to grow mold on them in your fridge. Peaches however, mold medium status notwithstanding, are so tasty and juicy. They're also grown on beautiful trees

whereas ribs are grown on a pig

Do you really want to eat that? They're smarter than dogs you know!

haha dyao

A peach that smart, you can't eat it all at once.

the pig on the bottom of the pile knows what's up - i.e. would eat the ribs of the other pigs

berries peaches here.

berries and peaches, if i could only eat ribs and burritos i would barf all the time

but your barf would taste like delicious ribs and burritos

BURRITOS. PEACHES. 4EVA.

Who's Eva?

hard to vote against burritos but let us consider:

blueberries
raspberries
gooseberries
elderberries
blackberries
marionberries
grapes

moreover, despair not, those who with me mourn the loss of the watermelon. botanically speaking, "berries" are any fleshy fruit produced of a single ovary. that means that, should berries win, both watermelon & tomatoes are back in. nb this is only true if you're willing to be a pedantic dick about stuff but I am perfectly willing to to be a pedantic dick for the love of tomatoes.

blueberries are my all time favorite food - easily - but I'm averaging the berries into a 'mixed berry' concept, and burritos def beat that.

I feel at this point you simply can't be polite anymore, time to rig the polls

how can you average your all time favorite food into an aggregate

incomprehensible

cause it's part of a GROUP

that means that, should berries win, both watermelon & tomatoes are back in.

This is URGENT AND KEY SCIENCE that our man has dropped here, folks

if it were blueberries vs. burritos it would be very clear what I'd be voting for - and I'd be voting for blueberries. but instead I am considering this 'average burrito meal' vs 'average berry-themed meal'

when considering the average burrito meal, consider every burrito made in the landmass that is eurasia

blueberries are the best

I think I voted ribs in the original poll, but I'm switching my vote to peaches. Ribs taste great, but I really hate eating greasy food with my fingers.

yeah but I don't consider those 'burritos'

but you are voting blueberries vs. burritos, because if burritos win, blueberries are gone - if this were politics, you would be the one arguing my formulation here, like, quite passionately iirc

berries and peaches make me happy; burritos and ribs make me feel sick

all four are delicious, but only two of these things never hurt my stomach
BERRIES AND PEACHES

i like that all of them are eaten with fingers though. i love eating with my hands.

burritos, ribs. i try to only eat fruit when it is forced through a tube into my veins by a doctor

BACON AND CHEESE AND HOAGIES

+ lj is right. the existence of the feared British Burrito deals 75 damage to burritos in a line, applies -15% Base damage and -4 Armor to all burritos

gross (xp to jjj)

what food isn't made in england at all? clearly that is the true winner

somehow i bet that the british burrito is in fact in many ways a heavily armored food xxpost

what food isn't made in england at all? clearly that is the true winner

chicken fried steak already lost ;_;

lj you have now been made aware that the burrito is not served in a hard taco shell yes? in case that is messing up your vote

applies -15% Base damage and -4 Armor to all burritos

not assuming belly-flab can stop a melee weapon better than muscle?

I've had a burrito in its proper folded package - p nice but nothing like a roadside berry exploding upon one's tongue

also lol, the British Burrito is totally lethal and has been known to pierce medium-sized tanks

does it have chutney in it

if I did screennames I would consider 'roadside berry exploding upon one's tongue'

or is that reserved for your "tacos" xpost

"British Burrito" was Thatcher's nickname for a couple of years until the hit squads put that one down, right?

is there something particularly explosive about british berries, cause you keep going on on that

until the phrase "roadside berry exploding upon one's tongue" showed up here i had always assumed that england did not have late night rest stops or truck stops

i like to learn

CA has incredible produce

it doesn't have the soil the midwest has tho, and the land is hillier & rockier & there's more mountains & trees blocking the sun

that's the main reason why the variety & quality of local produce in the midwest is better I'd guess

I'm sure you've spend loads of time in lol "red state America" (for you: any place you haven't visited) and wouldn't dream of just talking out your ass about places you've never spent much time in tho, right?

you lived in the wrong part of CA, so what-thefuckever-dude

lol, you mean the part that could buy the other part if it wanted?

dan otm re sel de mer, if not the soft boiling of eggs yuk

simmer down y'all, food is supposed to ~bring us together~

who me? This has nothing to do with "red state America" - this has to do with the fact I grew up in a shitty small town in the Santa Clara valley, where the only good thing about it was fresh produce

My aunt had a vegetable garden with about five different kinds of tomato and the best of these were golden cherry plum tomatoes, which she made into the most amazing tomato soup I've ever had.

xp aero - the only reason your part of CA could buy my part of CA is because we're nice and dopey and give you all that free water

lol I know I'm just serving iatee back his own bile, I don't actually have a horse in that race any more - my teenage So-Cal-Locals-Only feelings are strictly posing at this point

good to know - these threads are really all about posing that is ultimately harmless because it isn't like the berries, burritos, et al. are gonna come on this thread and have tantrums or start IMP threads about people denigrating them.

can't register my a_burr✧✧✧@hotm✧✧✧.c✧✧ account fast enough

haha had the exact same thought

"Hi, this is a fucking burrito. I am delicious, and filling, but not too filling. Fuck the haters. Signed, A Burrito, peacing the fuck outta this bullshit."

Dan, you're a mod - you can just make a fake user name "burrito" right?

would be funny to see Peaches post on ilx

Dan, you're a mod - you can just make a fake user name "burrito" right?

I can but that wouldn't be as fun!

Peaches should post on an ilm thread and alert readers to vote for her/them in this poll

peaches vs. flying burrito brothers

no contest

"What's up, dicks. Hard cheese in the house. You know you want it, so shut the fuck up and vote like you're told. HxCx for life"

though there's prolly a horrible band named 'burrito' out there xp

there are definitely some horribly formed "burritos" out there

wtf at all this regionalist dick-measuring in these nice fun food threads

;_;

and here I was just about to suggest that instead of WORLD FAP, ilx should have WORLD PICNIC

I guess someone would bring pizza and we'd listen to the beatles?

dear ilx,

thanks for the invitation to your world picnic. i prefer the velvet underground to the beatles

yours,

pizza

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

Everybody look out, JJJ's got a gun.

Berries 55 > Burritos 53
Peaches 55 > Ribs 53

maaaan

wow

my strong feelings of victory about this result are a little embarrassing

the sweet berry-and-peach flavored scent of JUSTICE

also co-sign with La Lechera, I raised my arms above my head when I saw the boldfaced results

lol ditto

both of those things tying again would be sorta amazing though

two vote difference isn't that far from a tie

now we can watch peaches lose to french fries, but i encourage you all to enjoy the peach-and-berry scent of victory while it lasts

SO FURIOUS YOU ALL DIE FUCKING FUCK

berries are the velvet underground of food IMO

not many people ate berries but every one that did went out and formed their own organic CSA

<3 berries & VU tbh

they're the raspberries of food

just ice is served

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

I'm drunk but YEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

LJ posting about food vs. LJ posting about food while drunk

can i vote for option 3 plz

I'm all for him posting about food because I think it probably gets people to vote for the opposite foods and those are generally the better foods

LJ posting about food vs. LJ posting about food while drunk

I refuse to choose between these two excellent options

iatee, you know I'm a gentleman with a British perspective who fucking loves the sensuality of things

Whoa, for once the right ones won!

for once, i am glad i voted
