Sometimes I think of Wendy's chicken cordon bleu sandwich and cry.

Introducing the Garsquashroom, the Vegetarian Answer to the Turducken

[Büge]

See, why can't people come up with these things before Canadian Thanksgiving, so that we have an opportunity to enjoy them too?

[Violentvixen]

That is pretty cool! I'd want to sub the mushrooms for something else but love the idea.

What a farce.

The Takeout turns one today, and we thank you for reading

Hamburg, New York will finally paint its water tower to resemble a hamburger

[Balrog]

Fucking finally

[LBD_Nytetrayn]

I never even knew that was a thing, and I'm appalled they didn't do it on Day 1.

The technology just wasn’t there yet.

Nor hamburgers...

I have discovered how easy it is to prepare risotto in a pressure cooker and I kinda feel like it's all I want to eat now.

Wisconsin achieves singularity with brats topped with cheese curds served at Lambeau Field

[Teaspoon]

came for the black hole, left disappointed

[LBD_Nytetrayn]

Oh, I want that. But the mustard is what throws me.

I thought cheese curds weren't allowed to be sold in the States, and that's why all your attempts at poutine are garbo?

[Mightyblue]

If you want cheese curds in America that are worth a damn, you basically have to go to Wisconsin or Minnesota. Spicy brown mustard on brats is also a WI/MN thing.

[Violentvixen]

There is a NW-style cheese curd but it's not as rich, hard to describe the difference but they're not quite the same.

I thought I'd shared this anecdote on TT ages ago, but I quick search implies otherwise, so enjoy:

Let's talk about mashed potatoes. My parents and I went to a big thanksgiving pot luck back in October, and there were 4 different mashed potato dishes on offer. After the meal (which was delicious), my mother noted that I hadn't had any of her mashed potatoes, and complained how all of the other mashed potato dishes were odd-looking. I explained that that's because they add butter and milk, and she looked at me like I was crazy. You see, at my folks' house, mashed potatoes means that you just literally mash the potatoes.

That's it.

Heat, mash, and serve.

And folks wonder why I used to have bland tastes. I didn't find out what mashed potatoes means to the rest of the world until I moved out of the house in my 20s.

This summer I stopped at a Piggly Wiggly in Elkhorn, WI that had an entire aisle of cheese curds.

I'm extremely sorry. (The secret to great mashed potatoes is to add sour cream.)

At least they properly intuited that you're supposed to heat the potatoes before mashing them.

[JBear]

I grew up on a potato farm too, so we had mashed potatoes, and every other kind of potato, quite a lot.

(Sorry, I just remembered this post and I had to share it)

[WisteriaHysteria]

That could go in like, six threads, yikes

Man, poor Jon

Pandemonium ensues at Virginia Cheesecake Factory during free cheesecake deal

[Tegan]

Jon definitely just can't finish without eating a whole raw potato

Oh... So is this how people develop fetishes?
