The OAO Good Food Thread

[Lord of The Curry 0]

So yeah. We don't have a folder anymore so this is YOUR thread to come to and talk about the new deliciousness in your life.

 

I just had some macadamia-nut white chocolate chip cookies. Yeah. That's right.

 

Discuss the food.

The other day I had this Ben and Jerry's Oatmeal Cookie Chunk (or maybe Crunch) ice cream, and damn if it wasn't delicious. I ate the entire pint at once which I never do. I'll have to restrain myself before I get fat. But I know it's something I would crave if I was high, so I'll keep some in the freezer.

[Guest T®ITEC]

I had some spicy tofu at the mall today... utterly delicious. I now want to fix up some at home.

[Lord of The Curry 0]

As a Canadian I am damn jealous of you Yanks. I was in Florida for five days earlier this week and it was some goooooood eatin' down there. I ate at IHOP and had chocolate chip pancakes which rocked ass. I had hershey puddin' pops. I had peanut butter crunch.

 

Curse you and your abundance of good food, specifically cereals.

[Nighthawk 0]

I like IHOP because they have butter pecan syrup. I've never seen it anywhere else, though it's not like I've looked hard or anything.

 

While back I had this batter where you could make corndogs at home. They were great but I've never been able to find the mix again.

[Lord of The Curry 0]

Yeah, I noticed the butter pecan syrup too.

 

I also dig the fact that your iced tea comes unsweetened, as I prefer it that way.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

Just get some cornbread mix and get it on the hot dog pretty thin-like. Works fine. One time, a couple buddies and I made this uber corndog out of four hot dogs spliced together with toothpicks and cheese. It was pretty ok.

Peanut Butter Kandy Kakes from Tastykakes

[Guest Goodear]

I'm rocking the perogies lately as I banter about fighting with the mix in order to get the flavoring juuuuuust right.

Wes' Rib House.

 

The greatest restaurant to ever exist, and if you're from RI, you know the deal. Their chili owns your soul (and the day after, your asshole too).

[alfdogg 0]

Damn low-carb diet...

 

Fuck you guys.

[Lord of The Curry 0]

So, what did everybody have for breakfast today?

 

I myself was all about The Count Chocula goodness.

[Guest T®ITEC]

Beef and potato burrito-esque thing. I think Western Family makes 'em. Delicious, if not really unhealthy.

 

Drown it in hot sauce, though, and mmmm... perfect.

[Spaceman Spiff 0]

Breakfast = 1 bowl of Quaker Oat Squares + Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Crisp

[Dr. Tom 0]

I had a Quizno's chicken carbonara sub for lunch. Goddamn, that's some good eats.

[OldSchoolWrestling 0]

I've been dipping my pastries in chocolate milk way too much lately. Its so good and I'm slowly becoming a fat bastard.

[Lord of The Curry 0]

*Runs off to try his white-chocolate macadamia cookies dipped in chocolate milk*

 

Good call, OSW.

Tofu is best marinated in something, as its essentially a sponge just waiting to soak up good flavors. Most people who say they don't like tofu either have never had it or had it right out of the package when its pretty flavorless. One of the best things is to give it a marrinade in some strong flavors and then cut strips out, coat them with a bit of flour and then fry them in some oil. Absolutely awesome stuff.

[Guest T®ITEC]

So true. That's something I learned the hard way last summer... I tried cooking up some tofu and it came out so badly. I still think of it and weep. Excuse me...

Well you get credit for at least trying. Most people don't even go that far.

 

If you want to try something interesting, try this:

 

Tall & Tangy Tofu Thangy

Recipe courtesy Alton Brown (Good Eats Guy)

 

1 (8 1/4-ounce) can fruit cocktail in light syrup, frozen

1 teaspoon instant lemonade mix

6 ounces cranberry juice

1 block silken tofu

 

Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.

 

I made this and in about 5 minutes it was gone and people wanted more but I didn't have any more tofu. When I fessed up that it was made with tofu, there were some wierd looks but everyone said they would have never guessed that it had tofu in it.

[Guest T®ITEC]

Uh, gross? But also interesting. I'll have to give that a try. Perhaps substitute the cranberry juice... which is so gross...

Anything I pick up from Culver's tends to be really good food. Portillo's, also great.

 

Hey TRITEC, is that Arctic Circle place in Utah any good? It sounds like a Culver's in that it's fast food but a level up. I know they have that disgusting fry sauce. NOT good food. Eck.

[Guest cobainwasmurdered]

I had chicken strips just now. I love chicken strips.

[Lord of The Curry 0]

Attention any Canadians who live near a Sobeys and likes salsa: Their produce dept.'s "Garden Fresh" salsa will change the way you view life.

 

It's that good. Soooooooo good.

1) Fry sauce owns both you and your future children.

2) I gues it depends on which one you go to, because the one I live by is just ghetto. Sonic is pretty much the best fast food place around, save for any odd local places we have.

This place near my college is some good:

 

[Guest The Winter Of My Discontent]

Yo

 

My girlfriend makes these rad roasted vegetable sandwiches with red peppers, jalapenos, onions, eggplant in a vinagarette of sorts with cheese melted on top. Its the motherfucking shit.

[Lord of The Curry 0]

Chev- If you dig mushrooms I highly reccomend seeking out a grilled portabello sandwich. Top it with some roasted peppers and a nice sauce...........yeah. That's the stuff.

[therealworldschampion 0]

Going to grab some lucnh at the nearby Chick-Fil-A. Their waffle fries are awesome, and their iced tea kicks ass too.

[RavishingRickRudo 0]

I had some Chicken Fingers from Louisianas Friday night - which is a surprisingly good restaurant despite looking like a complete dive on the outside - and gahdamn is dem ain't some fucking awesome chicken fingers.
