You guys sure whine about a lot of stuff

Am I allowed to put red pepper flakes on my pizza or is that frowned upon in here?

I went to an Italian place that had pretty good reviews, it was not a chain. My house salad comes with two 1/2" beet slices on top that are the diameter of a softball. WTF. I take them off and have beet juice all in my salad. Beets do not belong there.

There's a fancy Italian restaurant here in Chicago that puts meatballs on their house salad. Not sure which is worse.

Ooof. Pass on sauce and salad.

This entire post is a lie. No way you eat salad

Since we are getting close to Thanksgiving this is a great way to remind folks not to put apples in the ####### stuffing

Also grapes in chicken salad should not be

Mmmm I love apples in stuffing

You're a sick ####

Mandarin Oranges in stuffing =

Shtick?Stuffing should be bread, onions, celery, seasoning. Top with gravy and enjoy

Exactly. If you want fruit well that's why great Aunt Estelle makes her ### ####ed pineapple stuffing for that sits there the whole dinner.

I add mushrooms. And since I'm making a metric crap ton I add turkey stock to moisten the extra stuffing that doesn't fit in the bird.

Chickens and Turkeys roast better without stuffing inside them. You can put some things inside (herbs, carrots, onions, etc) but allowing air inside the bird makes for better cooking.

Approved. Although I think that makes it a sandwich

I just didn't think it was liquidy enough for you

Get all that bull#### out of my Bloody Mary. Looks like a ####### deli sandwich perched up there.

Come on, you know you want it

Makes for easier cooking. But careful temperature control and monitoring allows for getting the stuffing to temp at the same time as the deepest parts of the breast. Plus, there just is no substitute for stuffing cooked inside the bird.

F### stuffing. Totally overrated and not worth the trouble.

 

[DoubleG]

My brother adds sausage (not his you sick ####s) to his stuffing and it is quite tasty!

I'm good with this. At least sausage aint a damn fruit.

 

[Swing 51]

Have to agree. I usually eat one helping just to please the cook but stuffing just takes up room in the belly.

As long s you don't call it a sandwich, you're fine

Oh, #### no. Sorry - but I have to step out for a minute. I can't believe you just said that.

First gender-less bathroom - now THIS?! Really? #### stuffing??

*slams door*

 

[msommer]

Don't think I've ever had a pepperoni and mushrooms pizza. I know what we are having tomorrow!

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

You really want a bunch of bread crumbs and crap as a side? Just whip up some Stove-Top. It will come out OK almost every time.

I wish I had a dollar for every time some woman said at Thanksgiving or Christmas "I'm not sure about the stuffing. I tried a new recipe/I'm not sure it cooked long enough/it looks a little funny."

 

[Vanilla Guerrilla]

I had you figured for a coleslaw eater.

I ordered a sandwich at a restaurant. They gave me the option of fries or cole slaw. I ordered the cole slaw because I don't eat it very often. My co-worker shakes his head and says, "It's like I'm going out to eat with my Grandma."

I'm pretty sure these statements are enough to get you committed to a mental facility against your will.

best combo IMO

 

[Arizona Ron]

Grapes, nuts, craisins etc. in Chicken Salad. I love the occasional chicken salad sandwich but I don't need fruits and nuts in the mixture. Celery, sure, not fruits and nuts though.

A) Sounds like they're making dressing and not stuffing.

B) They've no idea what they're doing.

Mushrooms are a vile fungus. :X :X

That's it, we're breaking up.

White button mushrooms don't bring much to the table, but pretty much any other mushroom is delicious.

Come on, you know you want it

As long as you're only talking about the annoying additions on sticks to the drink, I'm with you; as far as the drink itself, there are tons of things that you can add to make variety and flavor. Bloody Clam anyone?

 

[Dickies]

Can we please stop wrapping things in bacon? I'm not talking about a hotdog that is wrapped/fried in bacon where the bacon gets crispy. I am talking about bacon wrapped scallops and bacon wrapped filet mignon where you have to peel away and waste the flabby half-cooked bacon.

Sounds like that would work. My major gripe is scallops. I like a nice properly seared scallop on its own. Flabby bacon wrapped around the area that doesn't touch the cooktop is stupid.

That's exactly why the outer embellishment is unnecessary. Instead of spending all that time skewering Genoa salami and olives and leaving them in a bacteria bucket all morning, spend that time making a great mix and put the savings toward a sidecar.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

The human DNA out of hotdogs would be nice.

You want to take Oscar out of your wiener.

Stuffing with gravy is the best part of the Thanksgiving day meal.

Not our fault if you don't know how - or have a place that knows how - to cook them so the bacon is crispy and the scallop succulent.

ETA; Render the bacon in a pan until it is cooked but still floppy. Wrap uncooked diver scallop in bacon. Pan sear in the rendered bacon fat and a slap of butter so that you get a good sear on the exposed sides of the scallop; the bacon will crisp up at the edges. Works best with peppered bacon.

See edited post above. When made right they are amazing. Made wrong? Agree completely with you.

Don't knock it 'til you've tried it, some kids think it's great!!

My wife tells me that she made some Mac and Cheese the other day. Am I excited because I wants me some M&C. Not looking closely enough becuase she forks some into my mouth and I almost died on the spot and spit it out. SHE HAD PUT TUNA IN IT! WTF does that?

Is this grounds for divorce? No judge in the land would question my desire to end it at that moment would they?
