I don't like unsweetened ice tea or even sweet tea but are you serious? Flavored tea is about the best thing in the world especially the Arizona with the honey and the ginseng (;D, I always talk it all the way out in real life, wouldn't be right not to do it here) is fucking amazing. And have you ever had Lipton Rasberry Iced Tea? If you are comfortable enough with your sexuality to drink rasberry iced tea, it's like the best thing of all time as far as that goes. Drink it at work all the time.
And Arizona is only the greatest cottonmouth cure ever. And 99cents for 32 ounces.
People don't regularly eat that for breakfast do they? You can't possibly be hungry for lunch.
Beans for breakfast, not sure about that.
And what the hell is that black stuff, its some kind of pudding right? What actually goes in it?
But its teaQuote:

Read this link from Wikipedia. Then wonder if you wanna taste it.
Black pudding - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
You gotta trust me. It's nice.
No, people don't eat that every day. Once a week people have a fry up maybe, mostly Sunday. If you had it every day fuck knows what your insides would look like.Quote:

Golden Gate Park has a japanese tea garden, it's a vast perfectly symmetrical garden with botanicals and whatnot. It's great and even has a tea house where you can enjoy your very own tea.Quote:

Beans for breakfast just isn't an appealing thought. I would hate to see a British Breakfast Burrito. Pig's blood and beans. No thanks.
Honestly it's not as bad as it seems. To us you guys having waffles and pancakes with syrup for breakfast is pretty wrong to say the least.Quote:

For my waffles I just put like jelly on them and make a sandwich. I don't like pancakes all that much but it's not a big deal.
It tastes nothing at all like blood. It looks pretty foul I admit but it goes well with eggs, bacon etc. If you ever visit England you must try some just like I tried Pretzels and Root Beer in the US (And nearly threw up btw) ;DQuote:

What is in blood sausage? I might have had one.Quote:

We consider pudding something like chocolate cake, trifle etcQuote:

Is it chocolate at all? That might explain the black color. I despise chocolate.
I don't know, its probably one of those things that you don't want to know exactly what's in it but honestly it was good shit.
I guess I have my limits though, saw this show where this Scottish butcher was making haggis and I almost vomited. I mean its all these nasty animal parts and then they add oatmeal to it, strangely enough that's what got me more than the animal parts, I fucking hate oatmeal and it just seemed like going too far. Then they cook it in intestines, which again doesn't bother me as much as the oatmeal part.
Haha I can see how you hate oatmeal, there are some days where the texture just makes me want to throw up. Like right now I couldn't possibly eat oatmeal. But I love that maltomeal stuff I mix in jelly with it it's great. I feel like a peasant eating pourage everytime I eat it though but it's great stoner food if you need to fill up.
My mom occasionally makes chorizo from a recipe that is like 5 generations old now. Anyways, she actually makes it with some special type of meat then has a thing that pumps the sausage stuff into casings. The old recipe called for it to be cased in intenstine, but when she actually got the intestine it smelled soooooo bad when the box opened. And it tasted no different ???
Yea I'd try that. Not too many foods I don't like, or would be afraid to atleast try. Not too long ago I was at a freindsplace during his families reunion. They are italian, and had family from Sicily there. Ate octopus, squid (not deep fried either...practically raw), all sorts of other weird fish parts...and some stuff I was told to not ask, just try. lol Some of it was a bit gross, but some of the stuff was pretty good if you didn't question where it came from too much.
squid's real good IMO.
I love seafood, especially shellfish. Any of it, oysters, mussels, clams.
Lobster's probably the single greatest food there is.
Shrimp's kind of boring, I like fish but not as much as shellfish.
Fish sucks. Lobster too, so terribly average has to be the most overrated food there ever was. Callimari is good though.
I would eat lobster even if it was marinated in tea and splashed with ginseng and honey and death.
The death would just be a garnish.
Its so good.
It would probably be a part of my last meal.
No way, lobster rocks. We started eating it and esp[ecially crab legs because of that tv show "Deadliest Catch"...and it wasn't overly expensive I don't think as we loaded up on it when it went on sale. You do get tired of it after awhile, but king crab legs, just wow. Calimari is okay...but meh, just tastes like and looks onion rings.
What type of lobster? Is it like steak? Is there a sliding scale of lobster, what's good and what's bad and where does Red Lobster rank? I've never had Red Lobster but I have a gift card. Not that I would spend it on lobster but I'm curious.
I've had it pulled out of the trap in Maine like an 30 minutes before it was cooked its so good. One of my first memories is my Uncle showing us how to handle a live lobster and it bit the shit out of him.
Red Lobster's pretty horrible. Actually I've never eaten there but I suspect its horrible.
Maine Lobster's the best. You have to get it fresh.
Yeah calimari is just meh, and my parents go down to Bodega Bay a lot and pick up crab off the boats from a fisherman we know and I have them sometimes. And I have had king crab too but this isn't king crab I don't think. Again, average. But eating the spiders of the sea is something strangely satisfying for me, that's serious.Quote:

wow I'm stupid. here I am, trying to cut weight for a fight this weekend, and I'm hanging around in a food thread. haha i'm drooling all over keyboard...may a well poke myself in the eye while I'm at it.
I mean I really like a good steak but I guess its kind of overrated in a way in that its seen as the be all end all of good food.

Agreed, I once ate at a place called the Whaling Station which was like an insanely high class restaraunt in Monterey, Clint Eastwood eats there. Anyways, they brought out like on their steaks on a tray and then aked which we wanted, had like a $80 10 oz steak. Was crazy. But it was really nothing overly special.Quote:

My uncle (kind of, haha) went out and caught like halibut, rockfish and all that stuff. I ended up eating all ricearoni and red beans and rice.

I love rice; usually eat some everyday. Had a huge bowl of sticky white rice last night. Good to eat about an hour before i work out as it gives me some reserves.
Yorkshire Pudding and Onion Gravy, Lovely, nothing Better ;D
