OT: All things Food

[Choralone]

How slowly does one pour their milk for sogginess to be an issue? It takes just a few seconds.

 

[Sol]

Milk pours faster than cereal, especially flakes style cereal. This means pouring cereal second results in the cereal in the bottom of the bowl sitting in milk longer before eating than the reverse of the operations. If your top reason to pour milk first is to avoid soggy cereal, then you are doing it wrong. By it, I mean everything that is good in life.

All I’m saying brudda, if we have two bowls of cereal, one the correct style, and the other immoral style…side by side… mine would win in a taste test.

That’s just one match up the cereal first community ain’t winning

There's a place in San Clemente, Hapa J's that does a very good Kalua Pork. Their nachos are legit.

I rarely get down that way but will try it if I do. That reminds me we did find a similar place in Gardena called Auntie's Cafe. The best thing about Kono's Kalua Pork breakfast burrito is the pineapple jalapeno salsa.

I haven't had a bowl of cereal in decades. Milk kicks my ass ever since I hit 50, though I'll still eat cheese, well, because F U milk. I'm in my early 50's

 

[SaltyElkHunter]

Man we are going to have to add cereal to the things we don’t discuss along with religion and politics…. No comment on hipster pizza either. Hahahaha

My favorite store bought salsa in California is La Salsa Chilena. Highly recommend trying it.

Everyone is going to laugh, but my favorite salsa comes in the Costco taco kit

This salsa is perfection in flavor and spice

The Habit > In'n'Out.

But Shake Shack > both. And White Castle is the most overrated fast food I've ever eaten (close second: Five Guys).

Five guys really takes the cake.

I refuse to go back there since i ordered a cheeseburger and they asked me "Do you want cheese"

Shake Shack is legit ass. Habit and In n Out are leaps and bounds better.

Also, if you guys still buy dominos and Pizza Hut rather than a mom & pops pizzeria then we have problems. If you want to know what a person thinks of you, look at what pizza they buy when you go over.

To all the detractors, if you pour milk second that means there’s something wrong with you.

Just for the record, are you really pouring milk before the cereal or are you just forwarding this message?

I do pour milk before cereal because it’s the only way to do it.

I more than forgive you for your milk before cereal hedonism.

This is some Socrates level thinking right here




Here are two of my favorite pizza places. Both are totally different styles

NY Style:
A Slice of NY PIzza in Seal Beach on Main Street Slice of New York Pizza Seal Beach - Google Suche
This is the best NY style pizza that I have found in So Cal.

I guess I can best desribe this next style as Mom and Pop So Cal or Seriously Gourmet Lamppost

Doria's Haus of Pizza in Costa Mesa Doria's Haus of Pizza - Google Suche

Haus of Pizza in Costa Mesa is a great choice. It's been a while, but i used to love that place back in the day.

Hmmm, thanks -- i'll give it a try.

I put salsa on almost everything and go thru jars/etc. in 2-3 days. But my prior to-go was discounted a while back and i've been searching for 1-2 years now on a new to-go salsa. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

[Kingfan1967]

For "Flake" style cereal, just use small servings, eat 2 bowls if needed ( those flake cereals go soggy SOOOO FAST) now "grape nuts", just let those things soak, and when you think there ready , just let them soak some more.

The Habit makes a totally mediocre burger IMO.

I’d rather eat at McDonald’s.

There's a time and a place for chain pizza restaurants and that usually involves having over little children or people that are cheap skates and you're merely returning the favor. Oh and costco pizza is beyond gross.. can't believe any one buys that crap. I'd rather eat Little Caeser's. Yeah, I said it! As I mentioned before I still love Round Table as it's nostalgia for me.

With that said, we've got plenty of decent places near me. Michael's and La Parolaccia make good neopolitan style. A place that's gotten a lot of hype that i like but I think is overhyped is a place called Speakcheezy that was right behind my old house. Milana's NY squares and Milana's NY Pizza are good NY style. Little Coyote is pretty good too.

Anyone that thinks Pizza Port pizza is good needs to have their head checked. Pizza has been a hot topic with my beer league team. We got dragged to Pizza Port a few years ago playing a tournament in San Diego and I was offended quite frankly!

Anyone been to Pizzeria Bianco? We went after watching the Chef's Table episode and they had just opened the DTLA location. Chris Bianco was there and going around to all the tables. Such a nice guy and great pizza but it's definitely not cheap.

I'm an OC guy
Terra Mia in Laguna Hills makes a good pie. NY style.
Lunitas Pizza in San Juan is a good sheet pan style. Detroit maybe. Anyway, high quality and not inexpensive.

I have been known (under certain circumstances) to eat an entire box of fruity pebbles with just one pour of milk - which then goes down the hatch like a melted shake.
