Dialectual differences...

[Triple Zero]

Lips and assholes are some of the best parts of a pig. That's why everyone likes sausage and hot dogs.

and there is NOTHING in the world that tastes better at 5am after a night of serious drinking than a fried scrapple sandwich on white bread with ketchup. Cheese and fried egg optional.

Doner Kebab with garlic sauce and hot sauce.

The hot sauce probably being sriracha. Seriously, I still need to thank whoever brought up that godly concoction. As well as thank the local Asian super to stock it. That shit *indeed* goes with everything. Current favourite is mixing it through a pasta carbonara. Not the kind I'd serve anybody else, but the kind that is glorious gimme-back-my-calories-food after running/working out.

I did try squid, was like chewing on a mouthful of rubber bands.

Wasn't cooked right.

hmmm but the squid rings, battered and deep fried. I like them, and I think the way they're sort-of rubber band like makes them more funny.

I mean, it's not like their tough like tendons or something.

I'd try 'em again if somebody assures me they're done like they're supposed to be done.  (I'm feeling adventurous, these days, why not?)  Might be a texture thing, though, like I said, I tend to react to things that way.  (Some people remember stuff better hearing it, or seeing it, me, I have to write it down.  It's not that I'm likely to ever look back at the notes, it's the physical act of writing it down that sets it in my memory.  Typing a list doesn't help unless I have the list with me, but if I hand-write it, if I leave it on the counter, I've got much better odds of remembering what was on the list.  I've rejected clothes that I loved, looking at them, just because, when I touched them the fabric made me go "ew.")

squid gets tough if it overcooks, and almost everybody overcooks it. To do it right you need your oil a bit hotter than a normal fryolator setting. At 340-350 (normal deep-fry temp), by the time the batter crisps and browns, the squid will be overdone and rubbery. Use a really light tempura-style batter, make sure the squid is patted dry and lightly floured before dunking in the wet batter, and fry it at 400 for 2 minutes.

I have to say the tenderest squid I ever ate was when the kids and I got the "hot pot" at our local chinese restaurant. 

[Cardinal Pizza Deliverance.]

They who blaspheme against pizza should be punished with all due severity and righteousness. But being from Pennsylvania also, and currently residing in Georgia after a ten year stint in Iowa . . . The only dialect debacle I keep encountering is the 'pop' versus 'soda' thing and these damn fools putting grilled pickles and banana peppers on their Philly cheesesteaks.


Also, don't forget head cheese. Publix deli sells their version of that stuff. Like meat bits suspended in clear jello. Almost as gross as the original.

I loooove Publix. The rest of the country, however, doesn't know what the fuck that is (it's a really awesome grocery store that's a little more upscale and has a lot of specialty foods but not as high-cost as say; Whole Foods or The Fresh Market). However, chances are, the head cheese you're seeing at Publix is Boar's Head.

Yup. It's Boar's Head brand Head cheese. It may be awesome, LMNO, but it looks scary as hell.

Fuck you.  Head cheese rules.

's called Zure Zult in Dutch. you don't have the vowel gland to pronounce the first word, but second is "Zalt".

it scares me when I look at it, I never dared to eat it. but I can hazard a guess, that it would taste fine, but nothing special, so I dunno
