ILX FOOD FIGHT!!! Round Two - East Bracket

I feel the working class spirit of the Taco will beat out the flashy yuppie Sushi quite easily.

Sushi, Sausage, Hamburgers, Chocolate

let's get real about this: anybody who votes cheesecake over chocolate needs to donate his or her GI tract to somebody who'll make better use of it

Timed to give weekend-only ilxors (if there is such a thing) a shot at voting.

Sushi, Limes, Houmous, Chocolate.

Never been the biggest fan of sausages. Houmous is godly and I feel ashamed for not voting for it in the previous round.

I will proudly vote cheesecake.

I love cheesecake but yeah let's be realistic here.

Jagger proves he is nothing but LAVENDER by turning his back on THE BURG.

i eat more chocolate than cheesecake but good cheesecake is sooooo good i dunno how chocolate could compare tbh.

Ugh, I only like one option in this whole round, and even that's fairly boring. Might not even bother voting.

Tacos, Limes, Hummus, Cheesecake

actually no, hamburgers

too late

enjoy your hummus

(just fyi, I will vote for sushi over everything, including oxygen)

we have this white bean and basil hummus from trader joe's in the house, and it's one of the most amazing things in ths universe

i guess no chocolate means no chocolate cake or torte or mousse or anything. if you sat me down in a michelin starred restaurant and made me pick between cheesecake or a chocolate dessert - that would be torture.

okay that hummus sounds amazing, I guess you will be enjoying it after all

in the end, the joke was on me

if you sat me down in a michelin starred restaurant and made me pick between cheesecake or a chocolate dessert - that would be torture.

do you usually order both?

i just get one of everything on the menu tbh, stick it on my tab.

VOTE LIMES

limes vs sausages - impossible

DIFFICULT TIMES CALL FOR LIMES

sushi, limes, burgers, cheesecake

sushi and tacos are both vast universes of flavors and textures I've barely gotten past the surface of -- full of surprises and hairpin turns. Sushi won by a fraction of a whisker -- I couldn't begin to give a coherent reason why, my hindbrain just said sushi.

I love sausage in general, but lime is my single favorite flavor in this poll.

Burgers -- check the screen name.

Cheesecake simultaneously gives me more intense pleasure and more comfort (in the comfort-food sense) than chocolate.

Tacos, Limes, Hummus, Chocolate

this is the only option for me
CMON LIMES

if limes need a cheerleader, i'm available

Tacos, Sausage, Hamburgers, Cheesecake

< 3 secs, this was a very easy set of picks

I voted the same way, Amanda. High five!

High five! We voted that way because we're right.

Tacos, Limes, Hummus, Chocolate

this is the truth

limes vs sausages - impossible

a difficult choice unless posed rightly - just vote for the one that almost never has rat hair in it

okay I don't know where you're getting your limes but I suggest a change

With a lime, you know what you're getting. You're getting a LIME. You're getting a tangy citrus punch in the face that tastes great on everything from soup to drinks to meats to fruit.

I wish I could say the same for "sausage"...

will cheesecake stall out at two votes?

xxxp LOL

xxp LOL2

recommended use of limes: rub a lime wedge on a slice of canteloupe before you eat it

limes vs sausages:

this is hard btw

although as this is a food poll not a drink poll...

sausages: so much to answer for

recommended use of limes: rub a lime wedge on a slice of canteloupe before you eat it

fuck, dude, that sounds awesome!!!

rub a lime on your 'sausage' before you 'eat' it

looooool s1ocki

I don't know- if you take the spirit of the poll as being 'good examples of this food' rather than 'the ones with rat hair in them' you'll prob make more consistent picks imo.

i'm giving comfort and aid to the enemy by posting this but what the hey

interesting fact: most limes these days are harvested by trained (non-union) rats, so you actually have more of a chance of getting rat hairs in your limes than in your sausages!

omg so relieved i voted for sausages now that's disgusting

xp - maybe, but i don't remember the last time i even ate a sausage. i eat limes almost every day in some way. i always have them at home, like ALWAYS, and sausages are just...tubed meats. i don't hate them, but they're not limes.

i will say that i appreciate the versatility and utility of sausages.

that's what she said

they're a great storage mechanism for rat hairs and an effective rat hair distribution tool for large food-serving institutions.

sausages are just...tubed meats

mmm i don't want to tell you that you've been trying the wrong sausages, but tbh......

I sometimes wonder if I am imposing some extra pleasure on sushi because of its price.

sushi/lime/hummus/cheesecake

i'm not saying i'd never go vegetarian, but tbrr the day sushi passes my lips you can scrub my name from the book of souls and spit on the blot left behind

:: sets iCal reminder ::

uh second thoughts can i get a mod request for deletion?

from another mod, preferably- one that hasn't just publicly added me to his dead pool?

tacos tho?

wth is a taco even

I'm british btw

a taco is a enchilada that thinks it's a turtle

Tacos, Limes, Hummus, Chocolate

picking tacos over sushi was difficult cuz good sushi is ~sublime~ but i don't think it has ever given me the sheer joy that tacos have. like maybe this will change in our effete socialist america but i never once yelled, as a child, with sheer unbridled enthusiasm, "sushiiiiii!" but i def yelled "tacoooos!!" at least once a week (thurs).

and that was for tacos that were kinda bad in retrospect!

voting limes over sausage was a no-brainer---limes make EVERYTHING taste better

hummus over burgers: man i just can't get excited about a burger anymore. voted hummus mostly because i eat like 100000x as often

chocolate: never really fucked with cheesecake, tbh.

Tacos, Sausage, Hamburgers, Chocolate

Tacos, Sausage, Hummus, Chocolate

kinda not sure people aren't fronting about sushi but w/e; tacos by a mile

hummus vs. burgers is tough cos of my history with burgers but those days are over & hummus is the bestest easy food in the world: we put so much garlic in ours that it oughta be called gummus except that sounds gross

I hope cheesecake loses 100 to 0 (haven't read the thread yet)

lots of people are voting cheesecake Euler

crazy sad people who don't know how to love

oh, you so fulla smack I'm gonna call you Cotton Ball in a Spoon

lol tryna hit a ex-junkie right where he lives I see

brb, breaking a 23-year fast

Tacos, Sausage, Hamburgers, Cheesecake

I realize I would die on the spot if I ate all these at once.

sushi, sausage, hummus, chocolate

Sushi Sausage Hamburgers Cheesecake.

Just bumping this cos it's slipped quite a way and I almost missed it.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

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

Chocolate is ruling this group

sausage over limes

existence of God conclusively disproven by internet message board, film at eleven

tacos now need to get revenge for the loss of their bff lime

Tacos > sushi = once again I am disgusted by you savages.

Tacos 61 > Sushi 52
Sausage 64 > Limes 49
Burgers 64 > Hummus 49
Chocolate 80 > Cheesecake 33

ppl be eating the wrong cheesecakes imo

all else ok by me

jimD otm

how the actual blazing fuck did ILX go for sausages here

I thought you guys had taste

sausages is a respectable & ancient food group, imo. throw in all the dried/cured options and the win was almost guaranteed. delicious as limes may be.

fucking tacos over sushi is the shit that gets my goat. come back, goat, and bring me sushi.

throw in all the dried/cured options

but I didn't, OK? been through this on the N/E thread.

tacos are cheaper

wtf limes is an add-on, sausage is a FOOD.

this is not a shock result notwithstanding a vocal minority of right-on limewhingers

tocos are cheap, i agree, but if i could only eat sushi for the rest of my life, i'd be happy. not so much the tocos.

but yeah, tacos = endless possibility folded inside a warm tortilla, so it's hard to complain

awesome thread imo, think fondly of it from time to time

lol cheesecake, you suck

sausage vs. limes

not again, you

no. 1 and no. 2 were exactly right here.

anyone who didnt vote one of those needs to be put on a watchlist tbh.

Sorry you missed these, Strongo, they were good dumb fun.

sausage vs limes was one of the great questions of our times
and we answered it
we did it!
hooray!

next challenge: sausage vs the economy

limes vs job creation

face it: even if you don't have a job, at least your food can bear the unmistakable life-affirming zest of the mighty lime
limes

Limes: You don't have a job, but you know what else you don't have? Scurvy.
Think about it.

I am not a big fan of sausage so I grudgingly have to vote "the economy" here

tougn on lime, tough on the causes of lime

i thought that was pretty funny tbh
