My flavour ice-cream is better than your flavour ice-cream.

Neapolitan shake seems perfectly reasonable, you're not really changing the amount of shit your ingesting, it's just 1/3rd of each flavour.

Mixing up different meats and all that is just gimmick, no one actually eats that shit other than for a laugh. My friends and I ordered a Double Triple Cheese Burger (6 patties, a lot of cheese), just to say it really. Guess what, the staff have heard everything a million times, they don't laugh with you they think you're a moron and they make you your stupid request so that you might get a heart attack sooner and not bother them any more.

P.S. It tasted terrible.

My guess would be he stuck to zero calorie drinks and avoided fries.

Had a quick on their nutritional website, a Big Mac is 520 calories, which is not great but not absurd. The issue is, you add a large fries (500) and coke (280) to that and you've added exactly 150% more calories on top.

All up being 1300 calories or about 2/3rds of your daily intake in one meal. Provided you avoided the sides though, it wouldn't be too hard to stick within the limits.

The issue is that MCD makes the minimum mandated attempt to educate customers. Australia legislates that food energy levels be published in a prominent fashion alongside the rough recommended daily energy intake of 8700kJ. They usually publish most of these on the side in small font. Having been over in France recently they didn't have them, I'm sure that's the case in most countries.

The larger issue with MCD and other fast food is the use of trans-fats and excessive sodium.

Trans-fats act as an insanely effective preservatives that keeps their produce looking like it'd been cryogenically frozen even years on. They're also have a reputation for clogging arteries causing heart attacks, strokes and the like.

Sodium which boosts blood pressure when ingested is a flavour enhancer which is probably why it's used in excessive amounts (e.g. a Big Mac has 40% of recommended daily Sodium). Even if this guy kept within calorie limits he would have easily been breaching recommended Sodium levels and in the long term would be elevating his risk of high blood pressure, stroke or various kidney diseases.

Well, chiefly, it's the flavour. The alcohol does play a part, though. After all, without it, the whiskey just wouldn't be uisge beatha - the water of life.

Life is sort of meant to burn a bit going down, I think.

As Freud put it, insanity is defined by an inability to see reality, and I have met very few people who could, in fact, see reality. In my experience, most people are too busy looking at the world through the murky lens of their particular flavour of religion or ideology to actually ever want to be bothered with reality, and should even the tiniest sliver of the nasty stuff make its way past their defenses, the ensuing emotional (over)reaction is sure to keep their attention diverted to less offensive matters.

Most people are such a garbled mess of emotions, cognitive laziness and stupidity (because stupidity never seems to go out of style) that they're always bordering on... well, if not insanity, then at the very least obscene absurdity.

Going to the extreme ends of the spectrum just makes it more obvious.

I make Chef John's stroganoff recipe at least once a month, and it's delicious every time. It's VERY full-flavoured, but I do put in a little bit of paprika and I love it with fat pappardelle.

By the way and not to diminish the flavour of the day pumkinandstorm....your gracious nature and presence here for me has been stellar-I have a problem with the time it takes for people to cop to what's righteous, that's all....I want my original shit back, please....admins, you sort the shit out maybe or once again, lett the rabble decide-

Shall I wear a silly hat??
Maybe simply suck cock and enjoy i?

Take some unheeded personal advice perhaps and seek professional help-

They should have cut out the bit that harasses and just focused on how sushi is prepared and should be eaten to enjoy the full flavour.

Then it would have been fine but as it is, I agree it just puts you off, which is the opposite of educational, good messages can get lost in bad presentation.

Having watched the documentary Jiro Dreams of Sushi though, it really made me appreciate the art of sushi making and I put this experience very high on my list of things to do when I go to Japan soon.

I don't even like sushi but after that film, you just can't ignore it so perhaps this is why people get so passionate about it, like this guy, in his doucheness he just wants people to experience the full effect.

*promote McRib being rib-like in everything but texture and flavour-

It's not called ground nut oil here either... we'd call it peanut oil. Maybe it's a UK thing?

I expect any mild tasting oil would work, but I don't think you'd want something strongly flavoured like extra virgin olive oil. I'd probably use grape seed oil, because I have that and not peanut.

My recipe says that if it splits, pour the mix out, add another egg yolk, and slowly add the split mixture back in like you added the oil the first time around.

Here is another recipe, http://www.deliciousmagazine.co.uk/articles/how-to-make-mayonnaise-2

Dunno, but I love the flavour of spicy food and I don't mind if the heat is ridiculous. Horses for courses I guess, the smell of boiled eggs has been known to make my physically ill, but I can liberally apply habanero sauce to a burger and still enjoy it no problems... = \

That's so cool. I wonder if the different colours are different flavours too?

Haha, I actually tried that for a little while because yeah, it bothered me how insincere the whole thing can be and I hate doing that whole dance. Thing is if you unload fully on your partner then it puts them in an awkward postion because they feel they have to reciprocate your full disclosure when perhaps they don't trust you sufficiently. At least thats the way I see it (and its why I stopped being a dick to people who were just trying to be polite )

The worst small talk? 1st year of university. You meet a lot of new people which I was mostly fine with. What bothered me endlessly was the same few questions. Where are you from. What course are you on etc etc. Maybe its selfish of me, but first I got bored of asking them and then I got bored of answering. Eventually I started asking people what their favorite flavour of icecream was (lemon sorbet btw) just to, you know, break routine. I guess you might call it an ice(cream)breaker and tbh, it worked quite well. Oh, and if somebody answers vanilla then you need to keep that person close. They are the best kinds of people (and there aren't very many vanillas). Maybe I don't really have a problem with small talk, I just have a problem with boring small talk

Interesting to note that "How do you do?" is traditionally reciprocated with another "How do you do?". I mean, its seems totally absurd, its almost like the question is rhetorical - it certainly doesn't expect an answer. Its just a polite courtesy and to do anything but show the same courtesy back would be considered rude - how self absorbed of you to actually answer! The conversation might evem bloom into discourse on the state of the weather (the last refuge of the unimaginative .

Oh, and it kind of is stupid though SveNitoR. Don't worry, I don't consider myself stupid or somehow broken in this regard, but I really can't see how anxiety serves any purpose. Obsessing over the tiny details of a conversation only serves to make me look stiff and robotic, like some sort of psychopath trying to remember how to smile with their eyes. I've heard theories that the reason alcohol is so embedded in our society is because on some level we actually sort of need it to overcome this inhibition. Unfortunately I don't drink, although I have found a sort of vicarious empathy - I inherit the same hibition if I am with people who are a bit buzzed, just none of the memory loss (a blessing ang a curse). Anyway, thats quite tangental. I guess what I'm saying is that I'm quite comfortable being an introvert and while anxiety certainly bothers me and stresses me out more than I'd like I don't let it paralyse me.

White men are the most maligned people on the planet. We make laws here protecting women from domestic abuse, providing health care and free breakfasts for their kids, etc. yet because this man is not a woman, he is some kind of shit to be abused.
By your logic, since he is a man, he must be thinking that woman are property to be utilized in any way with no regard for their well-being.
Your logic is porked.

And once again the point goes screaming over your tiny little head.
Let me put it in terms you can understand.
Hypothetically, I am a disabled hispanic wiccan lesbian (covered all the bases there I think) and horrified at the number of people killed on our roads every year, I propose a law banning all cars.
When asked by an interviewer if I have ever wondered why people drive, I respond that I'd never really thought about it. Clearly this shows I'm not really qualified to legislate on this issue (at the very least I haven't performed due diligence).
This has nothing to do with my gender, race, religion, sexual orientation or favourite flavour of ice cream. It's because I simply haven't thought the issue through.


Finally. Bravo!

Bravo!

Or rather should I say "brava", you gorgeous wiccan lesbian you?
