I have access to many White Castle locations. I don't visit regularly, as the food isn't for meals, per se. At 2am, in one of the right states of mind, it is the food of the gods. Particularly the jalapeno sliders and mozz sticks.

Oh, and when they have them, the cheese curds are shockingly good.

I'll throw my vote in for American Cheese on burgers.

I make cheese at home and every once in a while one comes out with too soft and sticky a texture. The flavor usually isn't what I want either because the moisture content is too high during aging.

I started making pub-cheese with these failures and enjoyed the results. Then I threw some on a breakfast egg and sausage sandwich and it was better than cheddar but the consistency wasn't quite right once it got hot. So I experimented with other ingredients until I had something that melts well and is flavorful enough to stand up to breakfast sausage or bacon or jalapenos on a burger...whatever. It finally occurred to me the first time I made a grilled cheese sandwich with it that I've been making American cheese.

I love cheese, that's why I have a notebook full of my cheese making notes and a full-size stand-up freezer converted to a cheese cave. But damned if my homemade American cheese isn't the best thing to put on a burger.

Helen Mirren is a hot jalapeno.

Apparently it gives an endorphin rush which is quite nice.

As for just trying it, sure, why not? It's an experience.

I ate a whole jalapeno while on a bus trip with little in the way of drinks available once.

Not pleasant, but here I am still talking about it

Crazy, I just started my vegan diet today as well. I am excited, I had stuffed grape leaves (rice, onion, dillweed, and mint in a nice lemony sunflower oil) for breakfast I know that is weird but I really wanted em. Then for lunch: paradise island tempeh (orange juice, agave, ginger, coconut, lime juice, cilantro, cashews, pineapple, green onion, a minuscule amount of jalapenos mixed in rice... it was goooood) and a side of mixed broccoli, water chestnuts, snappy green peas and ginger. Then dinner was just a carrot and shitloads of dates. I have a feeling dates are going to be a major reoccurring theme YUM

You should get some dates, they help with DOODOOO and they taste like little caramel treats!! And they are good for you, I cant even believe it! Why have they hid from me for so long?!!

You gotta send me recipes!!!

Note to self from the past: Do not store bottles or cans of jalapenos in the fridge anywhere where they might fall out due to opening the fridge violently or too quickly. That is how I once got jalapeno juice in my eye. And it sucked.

OK, so the guy is a little annoying. But, he loved El Farolito, I am so excited to see them. If you ever go there are actually two El Farolitos on twenty forth street... the one down twenty fourth is where all the babes go, go there. I am so happy that I no longer pass that place drunk, it got me in trouble. I mean that is why I think I like the one down the street better... because I wont have to squeeze my ass down that little corridor. I swear, El Farolito made me FAT. The nachos are insane, I never knew nachos could be so good... really good chips, with super thick white cheese, really good good salsa, jalapenos, sourcream, beans, guacamole... for five bucks you could feed your whole family that shit. Who cares about any one elses cultural food? Carne Asada Quesdilla with jalapenos... Fuck Poncha Villa. Get the rice out of those burritos. Eris Satie.... FTW.

Back to the Cheetos...

The new Jalapeno ones are AWESOME.

these peppers have a maximum of like 500 on the scoville scale (3k+ for jalapeno peppers, for a comparison). what a total wuss.

Once, meeting some friends in Melbourne city one night, they'd stopped off at a place called Lord of the Fries and gotten some "chick'n" nuggets. And they swore blind that it was real chicken no matter how much I tried to convince them that Lord of the Fries is 100% vegetarian. Mind you they were drunk.

I had one of their "burgers" before noticing the big sign saying there vegetarian. No sir, I don't like it. Good chips and fantastic sauces, though. Had an limited time "Obama Sauce" which was jalapeno, ketchup and pineapple. Was awesome!

ants don't like jalapenos.

So, it would be alright if the whole street grew vegetables, but not if only one house does it? She can tell that lawyer where he can stick his jalapeno...

Speaking of Mexican food... if you're ever in the Bay Area check out El Farolito's nachos: http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQKawJNdeUpdZq9Qa4W8h7W15lgAeH6gujt8-_vTvar0wK7QB34-A

they are an amazing heart attack of $5.75 goodness.

Or even the Carne Asada super quesadilla (ask for pickled jalapenos)

And yes this girl really gets my nerves - she is like the female (butch) version of Buzz from Toy Story except not as real. Ouch!

I almost thought she was going to be cool this time since she was going to be making tacos... SOFT... tacos... (here's another food porn pic - real tacos http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4alP-GsbfSI/TL0sRpg35TI/AAAAAAAAAzc/pvSxI9FZLzI/s1600/Taco+at+El+Farolito.JPG)

Considering that most Americans don't get Sarah Silverman, I'm more than happy to be lumped in with the intelligent few that do. See, the whole idea of Sarah Silverman's "act" (I can't believe I'm actually having to explain this on the Sift) is to appear as annoying and stupid as possible. Now, you can shrug that off with a witty "well, then she's very good at her job", but that's the whole point. The really funny thing about her is that she annoys people, while the rest of the audience sits back and laughs directly at the people who don't understand. And she IS indeed, very good at her job. You're just not realizing that you're falling for it. So calling her annoying and meaning it is just you... missing the point.
I'm not sure how you could possibly lump her in with Kathy Griffin but I love when people use the whole "shocking" cop out. See, the way that a lot of humor works is that after the set up, some unexpected or "shocking" occurrence ends the joke. It's about reversal and surprise. That's why they call it a "punch" line. People try to say the same thing about Howard Stern, Louis C.K. or even in some cases about George Carlin, when the fact of the matter is that the people who say that kind of thing are still being "shocked" or surprised by they're favorite comedians. It's just that in their case, the favorite comedian happens to be someone like Jeff Dunham, Sinbad, or Carrot Top. But the idea of the reversal is still the same. Some people just find talking Jalapenos more shocking than others.


Dude, I don't like her as a comedian, that has zero to do with "getting" her or missing the point. Just because we don't share the same taste doesn't mean the world's gonna end. Different people like different things, get over it. Next thing you'll try to convince me that I don't like Ben Affleck because I don't "get" him...
