ILX FOOD FIGHT!!! Round Two - North Bracket

Eggs, French Fries, Ice Cream, Spinach

That's what I said.

Eggs, Peaches, Ice Cream, Spinach

You're goin down, fondue. Peaches don't stand a chance, but I genuinely like them better than fries.

I wish I could find a screenshot of the guy from the Egg Council in the Simpsons, the big egg with legs. The Egg Council got to me, anyway! I will be shocked if fondue wins this round.

yeah how did fondue sneak in here anyway

Eggs, French Fries, Ice Cream, Lamb JUST HIGHLIGHT THE ONES W/ MORE SATURATED FAT FFS

Eggs, French Fries, Ice Cream, FUCKING HELL IDK

Eggs, Peaches, Hot Dogs, Lamb

middle eastern food (particularly lebanese) making part 4 kind of impossible for me

Fondue, French Fries, Hot Dogs, Spinach

i don't like eggs on their own and i'm not considering their role in baked goods for this

enjoy your eggless baked goods, dude

Eggs, Fries (sorry peaches), Ice Cream, little frolicking lambs

Eggs, Peaches, FUCK YOU, Lamb

i assume by FUCK YOU you mean "ice cream" a true aphrodisiac

Eggs, French Fries, Ice Cream, Lamb

only difficult choice here was lamb vs spinach

Eggs, French Fries, Ice Cream, Spinach

Eggs, French Fries, Ice Cream, Lamb

(And actually couldn't care less about ice cream, tbh. Unless it was hot dogs.)

we have no more burritos so we're going to need paletas and those are ice cream

I respect a hot dog vote more than I like to admit, the pleasure of the hot dog is profound, especially the kraut dog...but

butter pecan
peanut butter and chocolate
mint chocolate chip
pistachio
coffee
fudge ripple

just barely even getting started just with ice cream & if you let gelato in & mochi then business gets extremely funky in a hurry. it is true - a hot dog, say at Pink's, that's an actual meal, something ice cream will never be. but ice cream's wide variety trumps the hot dog's substantiality. besides all which, it's really easy to make your own ice cream with just a jar, some ice and salt and a coffee can and a few basic ingredients & a buddy with whom to kick the ice-packed can back and forth across a hall with for a while, and the results will be showstopping. if you make your own hot dogs from scratch, you aren't going to want to eat them.

haha berries and peaches won huh

this has to be the worst bracket of all time btw - eggs vs fondue? who tf likes either of things, that they wld be among the top 64 foods? i know that h8ing eggs (and i really, really h8 eggs) is on me but fondue? that is a retarded option, and you are retarded if you vote for it.

otherwise: peaches/ice cream/lamb

I didn't read the earlier bracket where fondue beat tofu but a lot of people get their hate on about tofu and may have been voting more against tofu than for fondue

which, it's true, is nothing new

Don't care/fries/ice cream/spinach

i guess that makes sense. but still. (xp)

fwiw i feel p bad about not voting for spinach bcuz i generally like vegetables quite a bit and theyre kinda underrepresented itp but i love lamb, the most, of all meats. also i like that it looks like my user name, mostly.

Fondue, Peaches, Ice Cream, Lamb

as I said on the other thread I hate eggs more than I hate Satan (when cooked on their own, damnit, not as a component in foods where I can't detect it; yes I love flan & realize this is sorta inconsistent but I contain multitudes (of food))

peaches over fries on a whim, really: I get great peaches more than great fries & they're a helluva lot easier than great fries. & the good peaches can be frozen & used year round so it's as fleeting a pleasure as it seems.

hot dogs suck & ice cream is great!

I will be voting against spinach for beating savory pies & anyway lamb is fabulous.

Eggs, French Fries, Ice Cream, Lamb, Will Not Rest Until Spinach Is Out Of The Game

come to me, my sockpuppets, from hushmail and from hotmail, let us arrange a great feast of spinach for all to enjoy

REGULATORS, SOCK UP

spinach haters confuse me so much

people that are voting against something because it won versus something else they wanted to win are taking this waaaayyyyyy too seriously

^^^ spinach voter

Spinach is pretty mediocre unless it's cooked just right, but I am more concerned about it HAVING THE SHEER FUCKING GALL to beat savoury pies and now go toe to toe with lamb FFS

IT'S NOT EVEN AS NICE AS A GOOD CABBAGE

I hate eaten a lot of spinach in the last year but nearly all of it has been in FUCKING SAVORY PIES so this vote is like voting for just pizza sauce or something like that.

what does spinach have to do with pizza sauce?

I don't want to be a smart ass this morning so I'll speak truthfully: I just meant spinach is a single component of a great dish, just like pizza sauce.

the savory pies live on by voting for spinach, don't you see - it's like in that movie Ghost with Patrick Swayze, and he's really dead, but he lives on in the heart of his beloved - just like savory pies

there are several Indian & Pakistanti spinach preparations where it's the central (sometimes the only, besides flavoring) ingredient, and they are main-attraction dishes all

also I make a spinach soup that is just the ultimate business

vote spinach no matter what it did to your friends imo

kinda have to keep voting spinach forever at this point because u bastards already knocked out my top veggie competitor asparagus

You're all going on my list btw

note: as this thing has gone on i am realizing that other top level competitors BROCCOLI, CARROTS, and PICKLES didnt even get a shot

so ~confused~

man so hi just trying to comprehend, but shit is at least half cauliflower

but then again half broccoli...

point is vegetables are deep and will fuk u up if u are not careful

this is the worst bracket imaginable and I could happily do without all of these except maybe eggs (as an ingredient) and peaches (although there are better fruit out there)

damnit i've been lied to.

Romanesco broccoli, or Roman cauliflower, is an edible flower of the species Brassica oleracea, and a variant form of cauliflower.

The cultivars of B. oleracea are grouped by developmental form into seven major cultivar groups, of which the Acephala Group remains most like the natural Wild Cabbage in appearance:

* Brassica oleracea Acephala Group - kale and collard greens
* Brassica oleracea Alboglabra Group- Chinese broccoli
* Brassica oleracea Botrytis Group - cauliflower, Romanesco broccoli and broccoflower
* Brassica oleracea Capitata Group - cabbage
* Brassica oleracea Gemmifera Group - brussels sprouts
* Brassica oleracea Gongylodes Group - kohlrabi
* Brassica oleracea Italica Group - broccoli

you could happily do without spinach & ice cream. what kind of person are you? i think your are probably a borg and you only want to eat wafers.

and picard brains

chinese broccoli is the shit

Eggs, French Fries, Hot Dogs, Spinach

Fondue is great fun, tastes great, but eggs are too much of a neccessity to lose. L makes beautiful omelettes, I make a mean scrambled egg. Then of course all the stuff eggs are part of ( ham and egg pie! I had to get that in somewhere)

Fries INCLUDE CHIPS. I made the case for them, and Hot Dogs last time.

Spinach vs Lamb... Fucking hell this is really challenging. Two words swing it in Spinach's favour... Saag Paneer.

^^^ OTM. saag paneer ppl. among a billion other good reasons to vote spinach.

fuckin fries. still. get over it.

but lamb. lamb! lamb is the best meat imo.

Eggs, French Fries, Hot Dogs, Spinach is a pretty nice complete meal imo.

This is the weakest bracket by a mile imo - Fondue in the second round while SOFT CHEESES are out is a pretty horrific affront.

Are there any transatlantic transplants who can tell me what I'm missing with American peaches? They just seem, like, okay.

GODDAM they (in their proper season/moment) are embodied heaven in the form of fuzzy liquescent boob fruit. i do not understand how people do not understand this, unless they have been incomprehensibly deprived...

Spinach vs Lamb... Fucking hell this is really challenging. Two words swing it in Spinach's favour... Saag Paneer.

lamb tikka bhuna

Eggs, French Fries, Ice Cream, Lamb

^ gaels have spoken imo

We should do a veg-only version of this, kinda like how the Special Olympics follows the Olympics

lol...also, otm

yeah but that would be like if michael phelps (also known as PIZZA) also got to play in the special olympics because he was ADD or something

eggs peaches hot dogs lamb

If only you could be at any Georgia roadside farmstand right now. You would have your third eye opened and then some.

Also, I want to post this again: http://www.lanesouthernorchards.com/
When I was there last year, my dinner consisted of peach cobbler and butter pecan ice cream. Aero will appreciate that if no-one else will.

man that is the Dinner of Realness right there

It was sexy as hell.

i have never had peach cobbler ;_;

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobbler_%28food%29

In the United States, it is usually a dessert consisting of a fruit filling [...] In the United Kingdom it is usually a savoury meat dish

lol

eggs peaches ice cream lamb

hot dogs are sausages, and while I pine still for the Sonic foot-long chili cheese dog, peaches are just so delicious.

as a vegetarian it's lamb, not bacon, is the only meat I miss

lamb karahi ;_;

Jaq, Sonic's advertising lately has been about their new Quarter-Pound Foot Long Coney, but I had one last week and can't tell that it's any bigger or better.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oatmeal_%28food%29

In the United States, it is usually a breakfast consisting of a boiled oats, often with fruits or nuts stirred through [...] In the United Kingdom it is usually a savoury meat dish

hahaha

In the United Kingdom a mince pie is a cake made with mincemeat and in the United Kingdom it is a pie made with minced meat.

darraghmac, never having had peach cobbler requires a much larger font for ;_; than ilx currently provides

yeah it is an acknowledged absence from my life no doubt.

If you want some cobblers, mine are just peachy.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

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

Eat spinach you fucks

JYP

on the one hand, spinach beats lamb, which was the one I was most passionate about from both a gustatory & a veggo perspective, so I'm stoked about that

on the other hand, you people actually said with your votes that french fries are better than peaches

may God have mercy on our souls

Eggs 93 > Fondue 18
French Fries 75 > Peaches 36
Ice Cream 82 > Hot Dogs 29
Spinach 57 > Lamb 54

This set of results was the most painful for me to type, you bastards.

Will lol at you spinach-eating shitheads when you get sonned by ice cream.

yeah spinach is now in a group with eggs, french fries, ice cream, even popeye can't save you now spinach

I mean I like you and all but enddd of the lineee

I guess I should quit fuming over these fucked up results and type up the next round. BASTARDS!

I should have warned you of the psychological strain that comes w/ being a tournament master

Poor little lamb.

Spinach beat slamb, jaw drops in disbelief. Couldn't believe it got through the first round, never mind the second.

i really, really like spinach. but concede that it will almost certainly go down in round 3. peaches only taking a tiny chunk of french fry votes is galling, tho. peaches, you were the best.

seriously peach is practically its own flavor group. I can fry pretty much anything and get the same pleasure I'd get from french fried potatoes but a peach is irreplaceable.

-_-
