OT: The Food & Drinks Thread (Part 5)

Popeyes is so bad, Mary Brown’s is better here (and it’s not that great)

Had Popeyes a few times in the States and it was good,never tried in Canada though. Have found that chain restaurants are inconsistent wherever one goes. Is Mary Brown related to John Smith by any chance?

While walking around the store I noticed they had frozen Swedish type of shrimps from Canada, they are so good. I made a Shrimp Trawler sandwich.

Look like they type we'd get in the NL, small but tasty. Just like how I like my women

Went to the Japanese grocery store on Saturday to buy umami for cream sauces with my Swedish meatballs.
You add a few drops of it to a cream sauce and it is really good.

Yeah, Maggie sauce is pretty solid. My wife's Asian friend introduced it to us a few years ago.

Had some left over coconut cream after making some Panang curry so made some pina coladas. Brings back the memories of the Caribbean,good,but kind of addictive. Those guys go down like nothing!

I've never had Taco Bell,any good? heard it was so-so.

It's pretty bad.

It's Americanized Mexican food. Not that good. You can get way better at any mexican restaurant.

I do have a soft spot for their supreme fries though. I also get cravings for their burrito full of overly processed stuff sometimes.

You can get good Tex-Mex. Taco Bell just isn't it. I'll put it just above Burger King as far as fast food goes.

Oh I agree. It just has a processed food trait that I somehow crave sometime.

Got it! didn't think that would be. I kind of lean towards nuts and chocolate and fresh fruit myself,but hey,whatever rocks your boat I guess.

No, I was making pickles. It was close to 100 degrees F outside, I only had an AC in the bedroom and it was really hot. I stood there in my robe making bread and butter pickles so I cooked up a sweet brine and put the cucumber slices into the large pot, Then I slipped and I flipped the ladle like it was a catapult. 2 slices hit me, one got stuck underneath the robe knot on my belly approx 7 cm below my navel, the other landed on my left foot on top where the skin is very thin. I rushed to the faucet and turned on the cold water except that it was approx 70 degrees so it didn't help at all and it didn't get cold until after 2 minutes and then the damage was done. I even got blisters. The wound on my belly never healed properly since when I wore pants the belt buckle was exactly where the wound was.

A kitchen can be a dangerous place!

Marshmallows?

They are a bit more chewy, I believe the flavors are pear (green), raspberry (red) and then the white I don't know.

Those clever Canucks! attempting to unburden the overpopulation in the States, guess they thought the abundance or firearm related kills was going too slowly.
