53 The worst meal I ever ate had more to do with expectations rather than the underlying quality of the food.

There was a show on one of the old people channels called, A Taste of History, by a cook named Walter Steib, he would cook meals in the style and type of what the Founding Fathers would eat.

These meals were cooked on a roaring hearth that looked like at any time the fire could get out of control and burn the entire kitchen down.

Steib runs City Tavern in Phili, well me and my wife visited Philly and scored a reservation at City Tavern,
the menu offerings looked incredible, we ordered a full 5 course meal.

Every course that was supposed to be cold was warm, every course that should have been hot were cold.

We were bummed and have never gone back.

Really small brussel sprouts baked/roasted overloaded with bacon can be eaten.

I forgot the brussel sprouts served after we pulled anchor near Perth Australia. The sprouts were as large as hand balls (not those balls horde!) and had a sulphurous smell followed by the same taste. Another Wespac air craft carrier horror.

127 Our worst meals were each at the same place on the same night. Italian Restaurant was highly recommended by some friends of ours. We were staying on Cape Cod for a wedding.

My Alfredo came... and it was noodles in watery white milky liquid. Totally flavorless, which I know will shock you. But not even creamy. It was almost like a chicken soup except with watered down milk instead of soup. I've never seen anything like it before or since.

Hers was Chicken Marsala and it had obviously been sourced from the Dead Sea. It tasted like a salt lick. Remarkable.

All that, and they took an hour plus to seat us, with a reservation. Fucking disaster.

He had brought his wife with him, they were vegetarians. One night we went to dinner at an Indian restaurant. He said "we eat with our hands." And I'm thinking french fries and the like. I ordered cut up chicken with vegetables, it was a beautiful plate of food.
I took ONE bite and looked across the table to see them with these deep metal dishes with what looked like baby shit. - continued.....

136 I've always been a very cautious and picky eater, and this has minimized my exposure to bad food.

I don't like fish, don't eat invertebrates, which seems to remove most of the main offenders.

Military food was generally passable, but I'd rather go hungry than try something obviously off. Usually there's fast food on base as a fallback, or you can hit the shopette for chips.

In college, I lived in the dorms which initially had pretty good food but the quality collapsed by the time I was a senior (this was because the manager was skimming off the top). The three rules of dorm food were:

All beef gets A1 regardless of presentation
All chicken gets Heinz 57 regardless of presentation
Ask for doubles when you go through because once your hunger loses its edge, you won't want seconds.

And of course, I never ate the fish.

We pushed the kids to try "no thank you" bites when they were younger, but later on it was "go make a sandwich, then."

This didn't happen often since I prefer pretty unremarkable food choices. Not bland, mind you, I like spices, but nothing ambitious. And no seafood.

this one day we had an "exchange" with another school in Italy and we were all like "oh the food will ROCK!" b/c our food honestly wasn't all that great

anyway! the ENTIRE MEAL consisted of the "town specialty" - the town was tiny too - there was nothing else to eat - snails! just snails made like thirty ways

I remember wandering into some room and seeing the snails climbing out of the big pots

207 A New Orleans style restaurant that we used to go to one day changed ownership and became a site down restaurant instead of an order-at-the-counter place. Menu stayed the same, though, so I ordered their crab bisque, which I loved.

Apparently they had changed where they got their food, because the soup tasted like "butt". There is no other word to describe it. Hubby didn't believe me, said, "'Butt' isn't a flavor", and insisted on trying it.

"This tastes like 'Butt'"....

They had a stir fry dish 20 years ago that stuck around. The stir fry part was fine, but the rice slab...yeah.

In theory you were supposed to mix and heat them together or something, but in practice you ate the meat sauce and then just gnawed on the rice slab between applications of Tabasco.

I never ate a bad MRE. I'm not saying there aren't bad ones, but my hand was always the first one up to draw rations. Later on when I got rank, I drew them myself.

Alas, my parents just weren't that dumb. I finally acquired a taste for vegetables but this is another vote for liver and onions. For reasons unknown to anyone, the parents loved that crap. The only break we got was, we didn't have it too often because of all the complaining about the smell when it was cooking and the revolting texture and taste when it was done. The onions might have been OK but I was having none of onions back them. And the parents were strict devotees of "you have to take one bite."

My wife's London Broil with redskin potatoes.

The meat gets a 24-hour marinade with wine, oil, herbs, etc.

My wife then drains the marinade and *adds it to the potatoes*, which she bakes. When the potatoes are almost finished, grill the steak and slice it thin.

It is amazing, and over the years there have been physical altercations over those potatoes. Heavenly.

276 I like brussels sprouts - like the rest of the cruciferous vegetables, they have a lot of sulfur in them which is the source of the taste that some don't like. But I like them, especially cut in half and roasted on a tray with salt and butter on them.

Because they've never been in a physical altercation (they always submit to force), the worst thing progressives have experienced is social mockery.

They therefore think this is utterly devastating because it traumatized *them* in middle school, so it must work on others.

We've had a lot of rain in Aug for N IL. My pumpkin vines have gone apeshit. Small pumpkins, but they are much larger than their progenitors. Planted 3 spots, thinned them to 3 plants and of course had a couple of volunteers pop up in the perennial bed next to it. Think I pulled one of the volunteers so I have 4 plants of small pumpkins, running all over the gravel drive where we don't use it.

They shade it, prevent weeds and I don't have to fight them in the yard when they get nuts, like now. Some of these are 30-35 ft long and not stopped growing. I think we now have 12-15 nice ones set now.

We've had moderate the 2 nights before last, and tons of it before. Wait, this isn't the gardening thread?

My mom figured out an easy way to cook potatoes at the dawn of microwave cooking.

Slice them thin and mix them with some chopped onions and butter. Zap it for 5 minutes, stir, zap it again for about as long (obviously serving size varies) and you get a nice side dish. That's another one the kids fight over.

335 The worst meal I ever had was at a hotel somewhere in Nevada, on the long empty drive through the state. We stopped in a town that seemed to have had glory once, but no more. We saw two hotels, and stopped into the nicer-looking one. We asked for a room, and the clerk looked me in the eye and said "It's $35/night," as though he was expecting me to balk. We went for it, despite the elevated price. Everything, the ornate lobby, the corridors, the rooms, seemed as though it had once been glamorous, but had not been maintained. The faucets in the rooms were gold-colored, and said "Rolex" on them for some reason.

Checking out in the morning, we went to their little restaurant counter, and I ordered corned beef hash. It came out as a 1/2" thick large round slice, cold, with the marks of the #10 can it came from all around the rim.

349 My DIL and her mom are the best cooks I have ever encountered. Both of them screaming liberals but have the good grace never to talk politics in our presence. Food to die for. My DIL's dad also makes a wicked martini. When we travel out to see our son and his family, I look forward to seeing the extended family.

360 Sadly, because the cowards in congress certified the fraudulent election, Biden is officially president. The constitution doesn't really have anything to say about electoral fraud at all. Its part of a "virtuous people" thing that the founding fathers kept saying were necessary to make this work.

That would be amazing to watch the conversations.

Biden: Sarge says we need to get ready to move out.

Fetterman: Where to?

Biden: I dunno, Jack. We don't move until Sarge tells us to.

Fetterman: I know. Why are you yelling at me?

Biden: Where are we? Why am I in this hole? I better go ask Sarge.

390 Well the Mitch McConnell arm of the GOP absolutely does campaign on abortion, all year every year, for several decades now. Though if Shapiro is whining about GOP tactics I'm sure it's not this faction that upsets him.

I find it hugely amusing that, after 40 years of that empty rhetoric from the usual suspects, the guy who actually moved the needle on abortion didn't make it a very big part of his campaign platform.

You make the lime and cherry jello, substituting a third of the water with vodka, and adding the rohypnol to just the lime. Chill in the fridge in individual Dixie cups, and make sure you only eat the RED Jello. Bitches love that like shit, so don't let her eat more than 6, or she might OD.

In Clarksburg, West Virginia at the Italian Heritage Festival they make rib-eye sandwiches...grilled ribeye with peppers (you get to choose hot or sweet) served on Italian bread slathered with melted butter and a piece of melted provolone cheese. They serve it with homemade tomato salad on the side. It's the perfect sign-off to summer.

Hey CG! I've been better, but think I'll survive. I'll email you so I don't bring the mood down here.

Yes, I do rotate these little suckers, just did but they don't need it as much as the bigger ones. Surprisingly growing mostly on gravel they aren't getting scarred, maybe it all the rain.

I've always loved growing stuff. Back when I was in 6th grade I recall digging in dog droppings into Mom's flower bed when I was planting tomatoes.

We had tomatoes that grew up to the eves of our modest home. Tho Mom was not happy when she turned up some dogshit that I planted and missed the spot. LOL
