    This is food related but not about food. I have come around on Guy Fieri. I am a fan. Dude is just who he is and I am sure he is aware everyone thinks he looks absurd. He just owns it.

We were fancy. My mom and grandmother had about 100 of these between them. I don't ever recall my mother actually using hers. My grandmother always had orange popsicles when we came over.

Biscuits suck and the only thing worse than biscuits alone are biscuits with gravy.

Obligatory “she hasn’t tried my gravy”?

Sounds like my wife.... firmly held beliefs which are usually wrong.

Actually, a lot of biscuits do suck. But not categorically. Good biscuits are a sign of civilization. And good gravy with chunks of sausage in it can make even bad biscuits tolerable.

These were awesome with root beer in them.

Can't get real Italian food in the US...   Just because your Ganny was from the old country doesn't mean you can just add garlic, pancetta, and cream to pasta to make Carbonara.  Carbonara doesn't contain ANY garlic, cream, or pancetta!  This is but one example.

A lot of places are serving round bread and calling them biscuits...

It’s not real Italian anyway without endless breadsticks and salad.

You're right except for the pancetta part.  Plenty of real Italians use pancetta in their carbonara...or guanciale.

Perhaps, but Carbonara is a Roman dish made from Guanciale not pancetta.  I live in an area with a lot of Italians (from Italy not Italian Americans) They will allow that it's a reasonable substitute...  but it's not the real thing.

I had to order guanciale from Amazon.

 

And don't even get me started on cream or butter in Cacio e Pepe

Next you're gonna tell me I can't have red sauce on my steak pizziaola

It's the Great American melting pot.  We'll take your culinary culture and tradition, and twist it however we like.  Carbonara gets cream and pancetta.  Chicken tacos are called fajitas.  Meat-filled Czech pastries are called kolaches.  Dogs and cats living together, etc.

Because 'Murica!

There was a kid one year below my pledge class that was tall and gangly and kind of awkward. 

He ended up with the pledge nickname "Celery" because as one senior put it: "He's skinny and brings little value to the table"

Quote

In the 17th century, the Chinese mixed a concoction of pickled fish and spices and called it (in the Amoy dialect) kôe-chiap or kê-chiap (鮭汁, Mandarin Chinese guī zhī, Cantonese gwai1 zap1) meaning the brine of pickled fish (鮭, salmon; 汁, juice) or shellfish.[6][7] By the early 18th century, the table sauce had arrived in the Malay states (present day Malaysia and Singapore), where English colonists first tasted it. The Malaysian-Malay word for the sauce was kicap or kecap (pronounced "kay-chap"). That word evolved into the English word "ketchup".[8] English settlers took ketchup with them to the American colonies.[1]

Fair enough.  I thought you were saying there’s no meat in it.  You are spot on with all of the above.

Do you live in Houston or Dallas?  Both have great Italian grocery stores (well I know Dallas does - pretty sure Houston does too) where you can pick up some guanciale.

I mean yes that's where the word comes from but tomato ketchup is very American and doesn't resemble whatever English colonists had in the 18th century.

Jimmy's italian beef sandwich is one of the best things you can get.

Well played, that's an amazingly unpopular food opinion.  It's also very very wrong

But if you can’t, in fact, get real Italian food in the US-your unpopular opinion that started that-then his opinion is actually the popular one.

All I know is that every restaurant I've been to in Italy gives you never-ending breadsticks.

Not the same folk. They do have other restaurants, though. Napa Flats, for one.

tacos are supposed to be like pizza: good even when they’re bad.  taco ranch was the first time I almost chose to not finish a taco.

It shouldn’t be, but they way most places make it (by adding egg as an emulsifier, or just using a mayo base) it is....

Great. Because of this, there’s gonna be like 20 Surly posters who spend the weekend with a celery stalk stuck up their ass. Which is a good 3-4 more than usual.

I thought aioli was egg and olive oil?

Whereas mayo was egg and vegetable oil.

Thats what i was referring to not your opinion...i hate places that put some seasoning in mayo and called it aioli....
Guess its one of those trivial things that grinds my gears
I thought aioli was egg and olive oil?

Whereas mayo was egg and vegetable oil.
Aioli is an emulsion that traditionally used garlic as the emulsufier. Also if it doesnt have a healthy amount of garlic in it then its not aioli. Egg yolks have been used to ease the emulsion for a longwhile now but it still needs to have garlic and olive oil to be an aioli

Just for the record, this shit is pretty good. Put it on a cheesesteak.
