Kilpatrick: Finely chop up bacon, mix with worcestershire and tomato sauce in equal measures, then apply to the oyster, grill until bacon is crispy. Garlic/salt/pepper/tabasco can be used to taste in the sauce (ie. prepare the sauce separate without the bacon ; )

Kilkenny:My personal favourite, marinate the oysters in Kilkenny ale (about a teaspoon per oyster) for 30 mins, then top with camembert cheese, unsweetened cream and bake lightly in the oven (you don't want to toast the cheese/cream, just get the whole thing warmed up and liquified). You can use a stout (Guiness if you must) or a nut brown ale depending on your preferred tastes. ; )

I find myself completely disagreeing with him on this. I think that this diversity may have sold more tomato sauce for the firms who embraced it, but has not made us notably happier. I couldn't tell you what type of tomato sauce makes me happier, and I just choose whatever is in front of me when I'm in the store.

Our obsession with choice has led us to the mistaken conclusion that choice equals happiness, when in reality it just means more choice and greater market share for larger companies who can diversify further.

Next time you go to the supermarket, look at the toothpaste and toothbrushes. There are hundreds of them. Do you seriously think they are marketing to different tastes? Rubbish - they're owned by the same two companies who diversify like crazy to stop any new firms from cutting into their market and convincing us morons that we need ridges on the back of our toothbrush to scrub our tongues.

In fact, I'm sure I've seen studies that show we prefer a choice of up to five options, and beyond that we get confused by the range and just make an arbitrary choice.

MREs are disgusting. But I suppose when your in field conditions and are starving anything sounds good. Still I'll trade someone my Rigatoni in Tomato sauce for a handful of crap.

It is absolutely not cheaper to go drop $7 at McD's than it is to stay home and make a single serving of pasta with tomato sauce for 87 cents. But it does require less effort. Energy problems? Stop the cycle of caffeine and sugar crashing from drinking a liter of soda and/or coffee every day, and get some exercise instead.

If people would take a little bit of interest in and care of themselves, McD's (etc.) wouldn't be in the business they're in right now, and then people wouldn't have to blame others for their stupid mismanagement of their lives.

ketchup is sugar, red colour, gunk, and one tomato per 1000 bottles.
tomato sauce is normally just fucking ketchup unless you are in a fancy restaurant.

look, in england, if you ask for fries you sound like an idiot. the only place it is used is in a burger king or whatever, because if you say "chips" then they look at you funny and say "certainly sir, one regular FRIES" because they have like an implant in their brain which checks they are using the correct trademarks for stuff.
And you wouldn't say "chips" because they are going to give you FRIES which are NOT CHIPS.

If you are in a restaurant, you might see french fries on the menu, that means thin fries that look like mcdonalds but taste more like potato.

If you are in a restaurant and you order chips, they will probably not be soggy, they should be crispy and THICK like your thumb.

If you buy frozen chips and cook them in the oven at home they will be SHIT. Full stop / period.

But the best is if you go to a CHIP shop which do actually change the oil and get chips wrapped in paper and wait until they go soggy.

The thin slices of fried potato in a plastic/foil bag are called CRISPS not CHIPS. you know why? because they are crisp, and they are not chip shaped.

A chip is chunky, like a sculptor knocks chips of stone off a sculpture. Why you use the word "chips" for totally flat round SLICES of potato is a total fucking mystery to me. I don't know how your sculptors sculpt over there. And look at a computer chip one day. Is it a round slice? No it is a chunk like a british chip kind of shape.

so NOW whut?

Every place is different. Get over it, nobody can say they have the "best" of anything, it's just the best for YOU. Pepsi has several recipes based on what country you purchase it in, because the local market dictates what those people like. If you don't like Burger King, don't eat there.

Also, I heard the man say TOMATO SAUCE and then the stupid reporter repeat back KETCHUP (or catsup, whatever). Those aren't the same are they? In America at least, tomato sauce and ketchup are two completely different items. Ketchup being tomato sauce, plus sugar, vinegar, and a secret ingredient that slowly consumes your soul.

They aren't french fries... you're all wrong, it's nothing to do with sogginess vs non sogginess, it's down to thickness.

A thin chip is a french fry, a thicker chip is, well, a chip... the crispiness doesn't come into it, I've had soggy fries and crisp chips.

The best? Crisp chips with a fluffy inner and chicken salt.

Ooooh yeah.

Oh, and ketchup and tomato sauce, two different things people. Very similar, sure, but different. Ketchup has more herbs/spices in it.

'Geek' is also synonymous with 'fanatic' and is often used in parallel with 'nerd'. In the US both 'geeks' and 'nerds' are thought of as being technically and academically minded.

And marinara is a kind of tomato sauce.

Whoever made this video must really hate fruit. Fruit, and cans of tomato sauce.
