That's beautiful, Chris.

Anna, once I had an enormo-scab (from hideous falling over at full speed on carpet made from wire wool and rocks) covering about 6 square inches of knee/leg - it was a glorious couple of days gradually picking at the edges until it revealed shiny new pink skin underneath.

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 11:13 (twenty-two years ago)

The mini-psuedo-sausages you get in cans of baked beans, cold and straight from the can.

AAAAH! I'd forgotten about those but yes, I used to eat them all the time, in fact when I was younger my mum used to get annoyed cos I'd eat all the sausages and leave the beans in a jug in the fridge. They are like the mushiest meat product ever.

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 11:18 (twenty-two years ago)

I still do that Ronan. I leave the beans in the fridge, supposedly to eat later, but alomst invariably my housemate eats them, thinking they are his. I don't really mind, because the beans are not the best bit, but since Tom is vegitarian, I think I should say something like 'you know those beans have been tainted with re-formed meat products?' I can't bring myself to make him vomit.

― Anna (Anna), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 11:31 (twenty-two years ago)

ah there can't be much meat in them really!

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 11:34 (twenty-two years ago)

subway with cheese, tomato and lots of pickle.

and, not constantly but still often, the juice from a jar of dill pickles. mmmm.

a lot of the things other people have said as well: cookie dough, cake batter,shells and cheese.

i'm hungry now, lunchtime for me.

hot dogs are not disgusting (toronto has the best hot dogs in the world)

― Dave Stelfox (Dave Stelfox), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 12:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Kraft Dinner.
Or best yet Kraft Dinner with hot dogs.
And of course Toronto's street meat. As disgusting and dirty as those hotdog stands are I still crave them from time to time. Specialy the ones with bacon bits and honey mustard.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 12:26 (twenty-two years ago)

spicy italian sausages with absolutely everything on them, noodles. it's the only way to go. one of the guys thought i was mental last time i was there. totally loaded the sausage with every condimeny going and photographed it before eating it. true work of art.

― Dave Stelfox (Dave Stelfox), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 12:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Dave - watch yourself with those cola bottles. Serious laxative qualities.

― ___ (___), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 12:30 (twenty-two years ago)

there was an onion headline the other month along the lines of "man suffering hot dog craving disappointed by eating hot dog" which covers it pretty nicely i think.

― dave amos, Wednesday, 9 June 2004 12:32 (twenty-two years ago)

these ones don't disappoint, though.

― Dave Stelfox (Dave Stelfox), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 12:34 (twenty-two years ago)

totally loaded the sausage with every condimeny going and photographed it before eating it.

well how can they not disappoint with a build up like this? are you telling me as the dog passed your lips and you burst into fullfilment's desolate attic you didn't feel one small shiver of anti climax?

i have eaten of the toronto street dog, and suffered indigestion due to stress over which of the hundred condiments to pick. there is no such quandary at the highbury dog stand.

― dave amos, Wednesday, 9 June 2004 12:40 (twenty-two years ago)

it was perfect!!! that was why it didn't disappoint!

Chicken Balti pies. My craving means I always miss five minutes of the first half.

― ___ (___), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 12:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh, Mr. Noodles I hear ya. For me it was the hot dog guys at Spadina and Queen, with the zillions of crazy condiments. My secret shame: I loved the mystery orange fake-cheese squeeze sauce!

Which reminds me: CHEEZ WHIZ. I could eat a jar on its own easily.

― Rob Bolton (Rob Bolton), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 12:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Any kind of fake cheez has to qualify for this thread. That includes Cheez Whiz, any Kraft/Velveeta mac & cheez product, and any processed cheez.

― NA (Nick A.), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 13:53 (twenty-two years ago)

I've never had food poisoning from any of the several hundred babs I've eaten.

― Markelby (Mark C), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 13:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Sometimes when your leaving the Horseshoe/Rivoli/360 and waiting for the Spadina (or Long Branch) street car you just need a hotdog. Its not like there is time to go to Alberts Roti shack. Are they even open at that hour?

mmmmmmmmm, jerk pork also belongs on this thread.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 13:58 (twenty-two years ago)

The sausages you get in the 'sausages & beans' tin are just wrong - they're so spongey you can eat them just by pushing them through clenched teeth.

Also, smooth branston pickle.

elotes asado...

6 fresh ears corn (husks on)
1/2 cup Jalapeno Mayonnaise, recipe follows
3 cups finely shredded queso fresco
2 1/2 tablespoons Guajillo Chile Powder, recipe follows

Preheat a grill or grill pan. Grill the corn, turning frequently, to avoid over charring, about 10 minutes.
Let the corn cool just enough to handle and peel back the husks, leaving them attached at the bottom. (The husks are going to serve as handles when eating the corn.) Remove the corn silk and generously spread the ears with mayonnaise. Sprinkle the corn with the cheese and chile powder. Serve immediately.

Jalapeno Mayonnaise:
2 cloves garlic
1 small jalapeno pepper
2 limes, juiced
2 egg yolks with a little white*
Kosher salt
2 cups vegetable oil

In a food processor, blend the garlic, jalapeno, and lime. Add the egg and salt, to taste. While the motor is running, drizzle in the oil until a smooth sauce is formed. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Yield: about 2 cups

Guajillo Chile Powder:
4 guajillo chiles, seeded
3 chiles de arbol
Kosher salt

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Put the chiles on a small baking sheet and bake until browned, about 3 minutes. Let cool.

In a clean coffee or spice grinder, finely grind the chiles and transfer to a bowl. Stir in the salt and use as desired.

Yield: 2 1/2 tablespoons

fifteen years pass...

having already lunched i went into the co-op seeking my staple disgusting snack: an entire pack of fish sticks

they had none, so i purchased and publicly consumed an entire mozzarella instead

and had to record this somewhere

i assume imago meant crab sticks rather than fish fingers, at least i hope so

― Xia Nu del Vague (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 10 October 2019 14:30 (six years ago)

yeah crabsticks, but they don't really make them taste of crab these days or call then crabsticks

― imago, Thursday, 10 October 2019 14:31 (six years ago)

yeah i know, always assumed they were a byproduct of the Japanese whaling industry tbh

― Xia Nu del Vague (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 10 October 2019 14:32 (six years ago)

they're the one food where supermarket own-brand versions are ALWAYS better than the (often weirdly cheaper) branded ones

have often considered building a uk fish stick ranking, j james in dead last obv

― imago, Thursday, 10 October 2019 14:33 (six years ago)

i just buy whatever's cheap in the freezer shop so yes

― Xia Nu del Vague (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 10 October 2019 14:34 (six years ago)

Crab sticks are good, but I'm still eating fish fingers tonight tbf

― Le Bateau Ivre, Thursday, 10 October 2019 14:41 (six years ago)

<3 fish sticks (as in, yes, crabsticks or surimi sticks or w/e, not idk floating pond sticks for koi or something)

however I must be a fish stick philistine (band name candidate) as I'm pretty sure I've bought the own-brand ones from all 5 supermarkets along my way home from work and probably couldn't tell them apart in a blind taste test. I'd assumed they were probably all from the same factory anyway. so I will not be taking part in any ranking

I did get some slightly more upmarket-looking non-own-brand surimi things from Waitrose once, kinda lozenge-shaped and painted in a slightly more convincingly prawn- or salmon-like fashion in a vague attempt to resemble sashimi I guess. they were not as good as the own-brand ones, I agree

(just looked, these were probably Vici "Surimi Royal")

― a passing spacecadet, Thursday, 10 October 2019 14:50 (six years ago)

surimi royal is not as good yeah

young's also not quite it

sainsburys is the monarch of the field, it has the rubbery firmness and density we all crave. also a higher fish content than most

― imago, Thursday, 10 October 2019 14:53 (six years ago)

disgusting food I constantly crave right now: I wish I could give up diet Coke and similar sweetener-laden dark fizzy drinks, but I cannot, somehow

disgusting food I frequently craved until the local Co-Op very rudely stopped selling them, possibly because nobody else had eaten them since 1987: liver "slicing sausage"
