When the Chick-fil-A protests began, I started eating there about twice as much as I used to.

I would order enough breakfast or lunch for the entire office. You can call in large orders, so I'd make sure there was enough food where a person could have two or three sandwiches if they wished. They'd get to take them home.

I stopped when the donations ended.

I'll find something else to love someday.

meatloaf.

Black olives on my pizza. No other extra toppings; not even extra cheese when given the option.

Also, I fucking love licorice and clove and all those other sexy, intense, sweet flavors. Everyone I know is a complete pussy and cries over anything with those and similar spices in it. (anise, ect)

A greek fish egg dish called tarama.

My grandmother makes this once a year for Christmas. It's a very fishy, salty spread that she serves with crackers or small bread slices. Even though my whole family is greek, I end up eating at least 5 times more than everyone else and a majority of my family won't even eat it.

Only in my native Hungarian, man, I don't have the time to translate it in detail. You need cabbage, onions, oil, flour, tomato juice and/or tomato puree. You cook the thin cabbage slices with the sliced onions up until they get tender but not mushy. You cook the roux out of the oil, flour, mix it into the pan you cooked the cabbage in, pour in some tomato juice or puree with some water (take your pick), then cook it until it gets thick enough to be comfortably eaten with a fork. You can mix it up with basically any green herb and garlic, it's a perfect side dish for sausage, meatloaf, etc, also you can use the cold leftovers as condiment. In Hungary we tend to mix it up with the native chilli pepper powder, but you have to be careful with that: it can be easily ruined if you add too much.

I love salo. It's basically pork fat. But it's so addicting to eat just with a slice of bread. I get dirty looks from my health-conscious friends for eating it in public.

[Anonymous No.4191649]

Salted vinegar. I've been drinking salted vinegar since I was a little kid, like four years old or so. I would insist on having the vinegar, oil and salt drippings in the bottom of the salad-serving bowl to drink at the end of the meal. There was always about 50-60ml in there (about a quarter cup US).
Eventually, this progressed to drinking vinegared pickle brines straight from the jar once the pickles had been eaten. I have about a half cup of salted vinegar each day.
I don't know why I like vinegar so much, especially with added salt. It's very bizarre. I know no one else that does this: not a soul.

Where in the US do you live? The flavour of salo differs greatly country to country and region to region. Italian salo (lardo), is generally more similar to what you describe than salo is. Many salo are flavoured with garlic and paprika. Lardo is generally flavoured with rosemary, peppercorn, salt and laurels, which is one ingredient away from speck (speck has juniper).

[Anonymous No.4191826]

You guys... I love you guys.

I love everything in this entire thread except the fast food burger. I've never been so happy to stop by /ck/ and see that not everyone here is a whiny babby with picky bitch tastes who cries if everything they eat isn't covered in ranch and ketchup.

For me, I get weird looks from friends and family for liking century eggs, and durian coconut rice and being able to eat things like tongue and chicken feet and liverwurst and enjoy them.

But the thing is, they're only considered weird if by geographical basis, I figure. Somewhere, someone out there has figured out a magical way to prepare whale fat or spiders or rattlesnake that is fucking amazing, and everyone for miles around eats that shit, right? Everyone thought I was nuts for wanting to do a haggis for Burn's Night, but everyone I invited was converted when I served it up hot and piping with mashed potatoes.

Moral of the story, and tl;dr... Everything can be fantastic if it's done right. My rule is try everything twice, just in case the first time was a poor preparation.

I don't know what it is about these delicious beauties, but no one seems to love them as much as I do. One of my favorite sandwiches used to be brushing a thick portobello cap in some olive oil, or butter, and some garlic and grilling it up.

for one thing, the jury is still out on whether excessive sodium actually has any harmful effect, or does your body self regulate.
