Good reason to not revisit one's childhood.

[voodoolily]

Ever reminisce about your childhood, thinking, "man, I haven't had a liverwurst sandwich since I was like, ten"? And then you say what the hell and while you're grocery shopping you pick up a cylinder of the shit and take it home and make a sandwich? Well that's what just happened to me. I made a sammy like my grandma used to make me: liverwurst and mayo with iceberg (but I used wheat bread instead of white - I do have standards, y'know). It was pretty good, actually, but tasted like what I can only imagine to be an Iams product. I'm a little frightened that I may have actually enjoyed eating cat food.

Not sure why I felt like sharing, but there it is.

I don't know about liverwurst, but some kind of German sausage made me break out in the hives twice when I was a kid. I won't be revisiting anything with the word "wurst" in it.

Hmm...What else?

I recently bought a box of Otter Pops. They're still as delicious as they've ever been.

[Samwise]

They still make Otter Pops?  Those things are awesome.

I hated liverwurst growing up, and I hate most liver-containing foods to this day, so I don't anticipate making myself a sammich out of it to revisit those happy memories.

I also did eat cat food once when I was about two, and still remember the experience vividly.  It tastes worse than you might think.

[Pococurante]

Mmmm I love liverwurst - I detest nearly all animal organs as food but for some reason the spreads work for me.  I mean, concentrated salt and fat - what's not to like.  :)  Liverwurst sammies taste best when the breads been toasted and the meat/cheese heated up just a little before assembly.

I also hate ham - but just about every other part of the pig is great.  And yet I love deviled ham sandwiches made with mayo.  Oh yeah, that concentrated salt/fat thing again.

Mmmm!  And it's Autumn!!  Must be hibernation time again.

I liked liverwurst as a kid. Up until I found out it actually has liver in it. Innards give me the creeps.

I feel the same way about patte. 

My grandfather ate chicken liver and chicken hearts as his favorite meal when the family would go out.  He'd particularly enjoy if they had liver-fried chicken hearts.  I never tried 'em and I can't say that it's appealing to me even today. 

Grossest thing I eat is a mix of Cranberries (not that heathen Jelly stuff, REAL berries)  and Mashed Potatoes.  Mmmmm.

You can buy a hundred of them for less than $6.

When I was a kid, probably around 2 I begged and begged for a can of spinach just like Popeye. Well, my mother bought me my can of spinach and opened it in the kitchen and sat me down and made me eat it right out of the can.

It was about 20 years before I could even look at spinach without getting sick.

The funniest thing when I was a kind is when my grandpa came over during the holidays. My mom would be cooking a big chicken for dinner and when she would do that she would always fry up the innards for my dog. My grandpa was poking around the kitchen a bit while she was doing stuff and saw the tasty innards being fried up and so he grabbed a plate and started eating them. The look on my dogs face was priceless she looked like he had just kicked her puppy it was like wtf why are you eating my food damnit.


To each their own I never cared for the taste of innards or tripe but somepeople and some cultures really enjoy them.

I just bought a box of Drake's Coffee Cakes.  They are good, but too sweet and they break apart in my hand.

[HaemishM]

I could never stomach pears as a kid. The two times in my childhood I was forced to eat them caused an immediate, violent reaction. I threw up directly on the floor as soon as one pear bit went down. The second time, I tried to tell the kindergarden workers what would happen, but they forced me to eat it anyway. I think I got one of the bitches on the shoes with my spew.

I've not tried to repeat the experiment as an adult. I found the taste wholly nasty as a child.

I've often wished I could projectile vomit on command. I would classify that as a superpower.

Carry a bottle of Jaegermeister around and guzzle it whenever you want to use your superpower.

Did you help design the combat in Jade Empire?

[WayAbvPar]

Let's just say I beta tested this particular superpower on my 23rd birthday. Haven't had drop of Jaeger since, and I will be 36 in February.

[Sky]

I ran sound for a band sponsored by jaegermeister and I was doing one of the jaeger girls. Actually, all the jaeger girls for the area were our friends, since we were tight with the local rep. Good times.

[voodoolily]

Isn't that like, every band's cream dream? To be sponsored by liquor? That have chick representatives?

You don't have to be in a band to have that dream.

I've had a good life.

mmm... liverwurst with mustard and onions on a long roll... a perfect lunch sandwich after having a good ol' scrapple, egg and cheese for breakfast

One Iggy Pop possessed.  When Iggy was on a minor afternoon talk show (can't remember whose now, been years, I'll probably recall it in 6-8 hours), Mike Douglas made the mistake of asking what good that ability was.  There was an immediate cut to commercial, and when the show returned, Iggy was gone, and Douglas was wearing a new suit.

Perhaps that is an urban legend, but I've heard it several times over the years, and the details have been very consistant.

I am gonna go out on a limb and guess it was the Mike Douglas Show...

When I was small (yes, this really is a true story) my parents made me eat a dog biscuit to see if it was ok for the dog - you know, because if the dog didn't like it she wouldn't be able to say anything about it. Makes sense right?

It tasted like a hard breadstick. Not that bad all things considered.

... they didn't figure "If the dog doesn't like it, he won't eat it"?

[Der Helm]

Actually dog biscuits are quite tasty, depending on the brand of course ...

+ the good ones give you a shiny fur and are good for your teeth

All food is basically fat, proteins, carbohydrates and minerals in varying combinations. Dog food simply doesn't beat around the bush about it.

There are days when I am so bored that I just open a can of peas and eat straight out of the tin for dinner. Not because it's cheap, but because it's quick and good enough there and then. I never understood people who cook for a living.

[Furiously]

Actually doesnt dog food contain more vitamins and minerals and good stuff vs. baby food which is nutritionally a wasteland.

The only peas I'm able to eat this way are the l'soeur brand.  Those are some damn fantastic peas.  A tin of tuna or a can of pineapple is my 'fuckit I just need to feed the furnace' meal.

This is a myth I've never heard. Probably started by the 'organic food' lobby in their desire to promote their supposedly better (and more expensive) fare.  The jars have the info on them, and it's as regulated as any other food.

Peas ain't got zick-dack for your dang endoplasmic reticulum to pass around.

[Sky]

Peas are canned on the sixth layer of hell (just upstairs from Cheney's office). Canned vegetables are satan's retribution.

Fresh, or frozen.

Unless maybe you have to gum your food.

[voodoolily]

Frozen is actually usually fresher than fresh, since they're flash-frozen within hours of being picked. Fresh peas sit at the store for days.

I agree, I only buy my veggies frozen now that I plan to cook. Obviously things like peppers, lettuce, and potatoes are the exception for me. However, peas, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, and even things like stir fry mixes are all great frozen.

Farmer's market ftw. Only seasonal, but that's my very favoritest place to get veggies. Ours closed down a few weeks back :( Nothing like spending $5 and having enough veggies for two for a week...and then some.

[Bunk]

My current favorite "feed the furnace" meal: One package of curry flavoured Mr. Noodles and a big handfull of peas smashed off of the large frozen block of them I keep in my freezer. Boil 4 minutes, drain, stir, eat.

Plus it reminds me of being a bum just out of highschool.
