/ck/ - Food & Cooking

>>11022511
My roommate in college used to prepare bottom-rung, store-brand frozen hamburger patties by throwing them straight from the freezer into a dry pan until they started to sizzle, then adding a splash of water and some "secret ingredients" and letting them steam/boil until cooked through. Once, after breaking my Zombie-drinking record with 5 in a single sitting, he offered me one and I accepted, knowing that an infusion of protein in any form would help me to keep from blacking out. Even in my piss-drunk state after having consumed the combined sum of 15 oz standard proof liquor and 5 oz 151-proof rum, I STILL couldn't choke this thing down. The texture, the aroma, the taste, everything about it was screaming "this isn't food" so loud that I simply couldn't let more than two bites past my lips, and I'm a guy who's been known to swerve into the nearest McDonald's or Jack in the Box at 2 am for a pile of commodity beef covered in as much processed cheese as possible on a regular basis once the drink's been flowing long enough. This abomination of a sandwich ended up on the balcony for some reason and it was still there, in pristine condition, three days later. Even the flys didn't want it.
