Random Rants XLII: The Four-Part Plan

[sophie]

Your tastes suck.

Seriously. Tomato is like, the greatest fregetable ever. Also you're going to learn to love onion when you start living on your own. It's just way too cheap and versatile as a cooking ingredient not to love.

I tell you lads, he's got to taste my hamburgers, my buns, my tomatoes and my onions. or my alternate ham-and-bacon-stuffed hamburger with cheese, fried eggs and ketchup on it.

So hot, feels like I'm melting...

That's everything I needed to hear. Now 4 zrz, ketchup is the worst thing I've ever tasted, and I intend not to come closer to it than it is strictly necessary for my sister to eat it. Because I can eat tomato, and it won't be too terrible, perhaps even onions although I have my doubts (I said that bread for me isn't a great thing, not that I hate it), but I'm telling you I will not bite a sandwich with ketchup. Never ever. And if I do I'll just vomit it.

 

[choxorn]

I find your lack of taste disturbing.

 

[Tee Kay]

Everything is better with ketchup.

Ketchup? Oh man, since when did it stop being tomato sauce mate?

Yes tomatoes are wonderful except that they are high in potassium and thus not suitable for me since I have kidney problems I also need to avoid no boiled potatoes, bananas and anything that might put me at risk of having too high potassium.

Mein Gott! Vade retro, spawn of Satan!

EDIT: My taste is perfectly fine. there's a saying here that more or less says "There's nothing written about tastes". Buyt to be honest it's the texture that repulses me with onions and tomatoes. Although their taste ain't my favourite anyway. I will get again to the bread, because apparently I can't explain myself: I find it doesn't taste much by itself, and it forms something of a solid mass in your mouth when chewing it, that dries it and makes it difficult to swallow. Then it also depends on how the bread has been made (ingredients, proportions, shapes and cooking). I won't eat bread without oil (olive oil, what are you thinking, Diesel?) and a pinch of salt at least.

 

[Borachio]

Oh I'm fine with ketchup. I even made some myself, which was vastly superior to the stuff they try to sell you. And tomatoes are the very finest fruit yet discovered.

As for olive oil and bread, good wholemeal bread*, that's a meal in itself. But some salt is absolutely essential. Olive oil without salt is gaaaaah!

Now fried eggs are really ewwwwwwww! And boiled eggs stink to high heaven. But an omelette is a real delight!

Aren't people with different tastes from mine really really strange? It's very curious indeed.

*white bread is just a claggy mess.

Agreed. Mayonnaise is the evil of this earth.

Naw man. Best breakfast (aside from eggs over easy with toast and bacon/sausage, or a breakfast burrito) is Eggs in a basket (also called eggs in a hole). When you butter the bread before hand and throw some diced tomato, onions, and cheese on top, oh lawd orgasm in your mouth.

Also don't diss the white bread. It may be bland but in my opinion it makes for the best untoasted PB&Js and it's also necessary for the incomparable Grilled Cheese.

Finally sourdough bread is best bread. Mmm...sourdough.

 

[JohannaK]

When I say bread I'm talking about this or that kind of baked bread, not this other kind of bread. BTW, I prefer the former to the latter, because it's less dense and keeps its shape, although for Nutella I prefer the latter.

 

[Borachio]

Yes, sourdough can be good, that's true. But no, you're quite wrong about the eggs. I'm guessing you know this very well, and you're just teasing me.

Sliced bread is a big nononononononono. Pre-slicing changes the taste completely. And not for the better.

So when they say the greatest invention since sliced bread, they actually mean every single invention, ever. Including that gadget for getting boy scouts out of horses hooves. Or was it vice versa?

With Owen passing out dating advice, I wonder what pointers he would have in regards to online dating .

QFT

 

[JohannaK]

I don't mean exclusively sliced bread, but bread that you cook in the oven with a mold. That's for cakes. I agree with Mr. B on fried eggs, and sourdough is indeed best bread. Also, bacon is the most superior meal for breakfast.

EDIT: I'M SURROUNDED BY KETCHUP-LOVERS! KETCHUP EVERYWHERE!!!

I've never done online dating before, so I really wouldn't know what advice to give you. I'd defer to somebody with a bit more experience

 

[Borachio]

Oh I don't agree about bread tins. You get a nice shaped squarish slice which conveniently fits in your lunch box that way.

Fried Eggs are delicious. You probably just only have experience with overcooked fried eggs, or the yolk broke while frying, both of which are awful. The trick is getting the right pairing dish to sop up the yolk, like a nice piece of multi-grain toast with butter or a good breakfast sausage.

Oh god now I'm just making myself really hungry for fried eggs.
