Arguing about fårking Fairy bread on the Grumpy Old Man thread? Fågs
-
@Kruse it's not me being slow ya village drunk.
it maybe has a use for re-hydration/lubrication when eating a dry-as-fuck overcooked 1980s sausage/chop/pie. It's the Butter-Chicken of condiments.
I don't understand where there was anything shit. But hey the moment is gone now.

@Kruse said in Grumpy Old Man:
Right, let's have at it then... doubling down...
Fairy bread is shit. Flavourless colourful shit on top of flavourless white shit. Pretty/sparkly nonsense for the stupid kids.
Bacon is over-rated. It's decent, but it's over-rated. The Bruce Springsteen of processed meats.
Watties tomato sauce is also flavourless... perhaps 'shit' is too harsh, it maybe has a use for re-hydration/lubrication when eating a dry-as-fuck overcooked 1980s sausage/chop/pie. It's the Butter-Chicken of condiments.
There.
Fucking have a go, if you think you're hard enough.I’m upvoting this despite the criticism of Bacon. The rest of your post is spot on.
While we’re on the subject the other half put tomato sauce ON HER STEAK last night. What the actual fuck woman ?!?!

Fuck sake... I've got a lovely aged rib-eye from Mokau Butchery resting on the bench at the moment... and I just had a vision of somebody sticking tomato sauce on it.
Sorry - I know you like her, but perhaps it's time for a dinner party at @Snowy 's. -

As long as you bring Bacon you’re welcome to come and pitch a tent

I blame hamburgers for the decline of the British Empire

See I love burgers because it's all the stuff I'm supposed to eat, but packaged better.

Shit... so, now it seems I'm about to make less friends...
Fuck. Burgers.
Fuck 'em.
If it's not an anemic piece of shit burger... it's an overloaded stupidly hard-to-eat burger.It's all the ingredients I'd love to eat together - sure... but towered in a stupid messy fucking thing, with bread. How many bites do you get in before it becomes a fucking mess you're constantly putting back together? A 'good' burger - usually fucking zero. It starts the moment you pick it up. I nearly want to order the "lettuce-bun" version of burgers just because it makes so much more sense, except... I'm not "the South Park definition of a fag".
Fluffybunnies of things.. a burger.
EXCEPT... a week or two ago, I ordered a burger at Jimmy Coops in Taupo... coz you still have to try once in a while. And it came with a cardboard "burger-eating structure" - which I glanced at with disdain, then tried, and then fucking loved. Held a good-sized burger together, almost until the point of completion. I am actually fucking tempted to get some made for personal use... travelling around, pulling out my burger-holder. (Already have travel-chopsticks in the jacket... imagine the ladies swooning when I also have travel-burger-holder!) -

@Kruse being quite flash I use a knife and fork to cut them up into manageable bits.
Unless drunk, in which case it's messier than a kebab.
Which brings me to another commandment: People who don't like a kebab shall be rounded up.

Kebabs, in particular the Doner are nectar for the drunk. I'm talking the dodgy shops and kebab ambulances variety rather than the sit down Greek/Turkish option. But unless you are that level of drunk I defy you to eat and enjoy the things.
As to eating burgers, I'm not the biggest fan but done properly (not a mass produced slice of cardboard with some fried, extruded mash potato pretending to be a chip) then I usually eat them the French way with a skewer through the top to hold it all together and then cut bits off to eat around the skewer leaving the delicious centre part till last. As an aside the best burger I can remember eating was half way up a mountain in the French Alps, though there may be some recency bias going on.

Eating a burger with a knife and fork is grounds for banishment. Disgusting behaviour
A good burger is great. I don’t love massive ones, if it says double meat they’re generally making up for something (that’s what my wife said anyway). Regarding the mess, the trick is to not put it down once you start - enjoy the fuck out of it, and do a single cleanup at the end.

KFC is definitely not as good as it used to be, but the hot & spicy is still delicious. A few years back they did it with a nashville sauce which was just about the nicest thing I have ever tasted, but they haven't done it since which is very annoying. The Zinger double downs are good as well when they are doing them. They'd be a lot better if they just did those items all year round - what the fuck is with only sometimes doing the nicest stuff on the menu?!

On burgers - the Jamie Oliver 'Insanity Burger' recipe is one of the best I've made. Messy though.

Another thing which makes me grumpy - burgers so bloody big you have to dislocate your jaw to eat them. Comfort food my arse.

Perhaps we'll meet up for a bite to eat sometime. I'll be the one in the clean shirt.
