    I bought fried mushrooms at a bowling alley once. That was a mistake.

  2. I got some Tabasco Scorpion Pepper sauce recently and I really like it. It's 50,000 SHU, but the cool thing is even if you don't use a lot of it and make your dish super hot, the heat that's in there has a real heat to it, if that makes sense. My tongue isn't burning if I use just a little, but there's a snap to the heat that's there.

    They're tricky to do, they can get soggy real fast. Plus eating too many ... fried fungi ... not a good idea. :bigeek:

  5. Probably Pizza Hut delivery. I've already had to throw out one attempted crust that tore and stuck to the floured and corn-mealed peel like dogshit to a running shoe, and attempt #2 is looking grim. After that there's one more left.

    Update: The second try came out looking a little bit like naan.

    Naan that had been made by an inebriated orangutan.

    An inebriated orangutan that had never heard of or seen neither naan nor a pizza crust before.

    I should stick to curing meat.

    Bulletproof coffee. That's it for today, beginning what I intend to be a three day fast, only drinking a BPC each morning. Then it's back to the regular intermittent fasting.

    6 inch meatball sub from Subway, with Doritos and a Coke. Fine fast cuisine!

    If you want to get shot. Lobster pot poachers have been known to disappear.

    As it’s Strove Tuesday I shall be having pancakes, although not as tradition dictates. I shall be having them with crispy bacon and maple syrup.

    I had a Subway for the very first time a couple of months ago. I had to ask how to order. It cost me £7 and I was so disappointed.

    Subway is alright but it can be kind of expensive. It's also probably not as healthy as they claim it is. When I find myself there I usually get chicken and provolone on their Italian bun (toasted) with mayo and lots of vegetables. I had some disappointing Subway sandwiches before I settled on that.

    Is that restaurant format common in the UK, where you go along the assembly line and tell them what you want, and then they put it together for you? It seems like every other restaurant is that way here.

    I took littleHammer to a Subway, years ago but it still makes me laugh:-

    INT a Subway take-away in Reading. After studying the menu for ages, LITLEHAMMER approaches the counter and speaks to SUBWAYPERSON.

    SUBWAYPERSON: Morning. Can I help you?
    LITTLEHAMMER: I would like an Italian BMT please.
    SUBWAYPERSON: Bread?
    LITTLEHAMMER: Yes.

    I guess they wouldn't have the Five Dollar Footlong in the UK, huh?

    I always liked Jersey Mike's or Quizno's worlds better than Subway. When I wasin Minnesota, we had one called Schlotsky's, which surpassed them all. Now it's mostly Subway everywhere and it's not as good.

    Subway is disgusting, but they all kind of suck. Particularly when you have to drive past half a dozen local delis to find one.
