TFW you are so unknowingly addicted to high fructose corn syrup food without it doesn't even taste right :amerikkka-clap:
Just thinking of all the socially acceptable addictions I have because my habits don’t involve physical withdrawal or large amounts of money. Compulsive and detrimental repetitive behaviors are like half my existence
A lot of hard drugs have less withdrawal than sugar. Most drugs actually don't have physical withdrawal. Its basically just the downer family. Only alcohol, benzos and barbiuates of those have potentially lethal withdraeal. Opium withdrawal will make you feel like you're dying but without other conditions maybe killing you cause your system is weak from being sick as hell and that's like, having cancer level or being starving to death already kinda thing, but it won't kill ya
Nausea, low energy, sometimes stach pains, maybe some degree of crankynrss but that's probably a mental thing. Nothing that requires medical attention, just may feel a bit of a long term crash for a little while.
my habits don’t involve physical withdrawal
Don't know if this applies to you, but caffeine is physically addictive. If you get a headache if you didn't have coffee by noon, that's caffeine withdrawal.
"Authentic" is a meaningless concept.
American-style pizza in Italy is fantastic. Papa John's is literally the shittiest pizza in America.
Authentic is what you sell to tourists. What the fuck is authentic food anyways? Tomatoes, hot chilli peppers, potatoes, corn, didn't exist outside of the Americas before contact with Columbus but today those are a HUGE part of south asian, south east asian, and east asian food.
Things also get taken from other countries, modified in some regional way and then end back to their place of origin. Can be a bit nutty figuring out what exactly authentic even means when cultures naturally just share a bunch of food with each other. Burritos are a good example I think for this.
Hell yeah and tacos al pastor which was invented by middle eastern immigrants to Mexico.
You say Papa John's is the shittiest, but consider Little Caesars
Have to agree with you flavor wise but for $6 a medium sized pizza is hard to beat when wanting to get takeout but broke. Though if you use coupons you can get a similar deal at Dominos which is much better than little caesars ever since they changed their recipe sometime back. I don't eat any of them often but I will say Papa John's garlic butter sauce they give you for free is pretty alright
The one time I tried papa johns they had this little sachet of some sort of flavourings and spices which was really good. I have no idea what the blend was, but it was phenomenal.
What the fuck kind of enchilada was this fucker eating down there
I went to Texas for a week years back and eating at local places was the best culinary experience of my life
Running around NYC looking for authentic Caribbean food - also incredible
White America is so fucked dude, it makes me so fucking sad
It's bad. I had a cousin acting smug to the rest of her immediate family because she eats "exotic" foods like... chicken pad thai. Rural white america is not doing ok.
Funny thing is my Kentucky aunt won't eat "exotic" foods like chicken pad thai lmao
as a kid I always found it funny and notable that white people seemed existentially terrified of Mexican restaurants where the menu is largely in Spanish and the inside is just the guys building their fences and doing their gardening
like I would to these restaurants in San Mateo (why does everything in California have Spanish names? I wonder why that is...) with my parents and despite the hordes of white people outside you never saw them go in and when they did they always seemed like they didn't wanna be in there
whats funny is that they wound up gentrifying my uncles restauraunt, there is no Mexican people that eat there anymore rofl
What the fuck kind of enchilada was this fucker eating down there
there was probably seasoning in there. maybe even spices.
On the Border specifically is fucking disgusting. I'm not gonna pretend I am some high and cultured individual, but the food is fucking nasty shit. Went to one a couple years back with my wife because our favorite hole in the wall was closed...neither of us could finish our meal.
Americans try to eat food without 10 billion pounds of sugar in it challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)
When all you can taste is sugar, and the more sugar you can taste the better
American treat discourse is simultaneously some of the funniest and saddest shit I read online :agony-minion:
Eating only steak fries and beer cheese and getting congestive heart failure at 30 to own the pretentious :LIB: s
The same way they’ll say they only like a musician’s early albums.
Yeah, there's just no possible way someone could like the sound of a musician in their early work, and not like them as much if they change their sound to something else. There's no such thing as taste. Of course.
slaps the heating lamp over a bunch of Americanized “international food” “We can fit so much sugar in these dishes.”
liking flour over corn is some mayo shit
i did too before I got rid of my colonized brainworms as a kid
si no tiene tortillas de maiz se podria decir que NO es un taco
Yeah wheat flour tortillas are more popular in Northern Mexico and are just as legit as corn
I think a lot of people that think corn tortillas are bad have had one that some dingdong made with just regular corn flour instead of Masa Harina
is that even fucking possible. like the lime makes it stick together, right?
liking flour over corn is some mayo shit
American mayos grow huge amounts of corn and subsidize the shit out of it though
grainy, flavourless corn ones
What's the fucking bet these idiots grab them out of the bag and just try to use them as is, without heating them up first? Cause it's probably a fucking guarantee.
Based on the way my Midwestern family eats hardshell corn tacos out of the box without heating or toasting them, I'm gonna go with 100%
These are the people who like the prequel movies more than the original trilogy because they have more action and better special effects
facts, Star Wars effects are so fucking good (beside occassional janky stop-motion) they absolutely hold up.
to be entirely fair the prequel CGI is ahead of its time too but it will never make up for everything else
The prequels pioneered CGI in the same way that the OT pioneered new kinds of practical effects. Unfortunately for pretty much every CG thing ever, they were the first to do it or at least on such a scale. With the original they were advancing something that wasn't basically in its fetal stage so it'a gonna hold up better. I'm all kinds of biased towards practical effects mostly cause I enjoy how they're done and the craft behind them. CG is art as well, but building Tube Goldberg machines to do stupid little effects in a movie is just so cool to me.
$130 a plate will get you literal Michelin star cuisine lmfao. You can get tons of better options than Applebee's for the same price, even in flyover towns of 50,000 people now.
i want to strangle the second one CORN TORTILLA SUPREMACY :dog-faced-pony-soldier:
There is literally zero difference between Kraft singles and any fancy aged French cheese.
Wrong, fancy french cheese has this hard crust on it? that you have to cut off yourself? No thank you, I'll take my easy plastic wrapped slices please!
This may sound extreme, but I absolutely support the death penalty in cases like these
"The kind Vladimir Ilyich would have killed everyone in that room."
Greek and Middle Eastern foods are the exception
mayo unwittingly admits that Greek food is basically Middle Eastern
Most people are still so blissfully unaware of the microwave pomm döner
cw: processed Lovecraftian meat pieces, the eldritch horror that is microwaved french fries, a majonaise-like abominable mockery of zaziki
"gut & gunstig" translates to disgusting in your gut :very-smart:
I see you've never been to Canada.
King of Donair and Pita Pit both actually kinda fuck.
