The Food Thread

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

I've decided to have a BLT sandwich except without the tomato. I fucking hate tomato and never did like anything soft and squishy in my mouth unless it was the tongue or other part of a human female. I like tomato soup and catsup but not the actual tomato. This whole thing about the sandwich is because I took some good medicine not long ago and its made me real fucking hungry. I know what bacon smells like and I can smell it even now.
So neo has an aversion to tomatoes. I like them, but then I like most foods. Liver, not so much. And tongue (from a cow), ew. There is another food I hated when I was a kid, but for some reason I can't remember it now. But I'll know it if it's served.

Part of the reason why I like tomatoes may be related to having spent about 85% of my life in California. Add to that having attended a University where "Tomato Day" was an annual event. Although I admit most of the tomatoes one finds in a supermarket are relatively tasteless. The best places to get tomatoes are direct from a grower or at a specialty store.

There was a reason but I'm not gonna even try to explain. Other than thank the BRD Hall Monitor team for being so nit picky.

And my sandwich was a success. I did agonize over whether or not to toast the bread and ultimately decided not to. Next time I will.

I understand why some people don't like liver, it's not a muscle like they typically eat, but it seems strange to pick out a specific muscle and claim not to like it.
My favorite food truck's best selling taco is the smoked and shredded lengua.

It's been a long time, but I liked tongue. It is different in taste and texture from other muscles. Maybe not so much if it's smoked and shredded. Maybe I'll get some to see if I still like it.

The first time I had it was at a cocktail type party. It was rubbery.
The slow cooked, smoked and shredded is tender and full of beef flavor.

We really do need a Mexican food truck on every corner like Steve King promised.

Well, perhaps I just had some tongue that simply wasn't prepared right.

As I recall, it had a soft texture with bits that reminded me of... an extended tongue. I found it disgusting.

The Mexican version sounds better, but I'll probably never try that, either. Old habits die hard.

Well, I have resolved the situation that led to you two BRD Hall Monitors going more bonkers than usual.

I am considering revealing more detail, but since the entire situation is not yet fully resolved, perhaps I should wait.

And evidently you don't really care, other than to use it as an excuse to attack another forum member.

So you can just wallow in your ignorance.

Looks like a crew boat. There was no crew boat involved. Don't get the connection, but that's OK. I'm just glad to know you're having fun. I used to watch (sometimes) UC Berkeley crews practising out at the Berkeley Marina lagoon just east of the freeway. Interesting.

You know, jokes you have to explain are not all that funny to begin with.

What was your point? "Maybe it was a team effort"? That would be extra dumb even from you.

PS-Guess again!
