The excuses for the continued existence of turkey is thanksgiving dinner and idiots buying smoked turkey legs at state fairs. There is no other excuse for Worst Bird continuing to plague us.

The southerners have the right idea, they deep fry their turkey in these huge turkey fryers for presumably no other reason then to make it suffer

Fast food in general is stupidly priced, not just burger joints. If your food is so pissy easy to make a 15 1/2 year old with no work ethic can do it and is 95% done by the time it reaches the McD's anyway, why does it cost just as much as a proper, sit-down restaurant with food made in-house?

That said, I'll always shill for Culver's. Even now you can get a burger, soda, and fries for under $10, and prob have enough left over for a small custard too.

On top of that Culver's (at least in my red state) have their dining rooms open where other fast food chains do not. Plus they aren't mask crazy, that means a lot in my book.

Raw tomatoes are great but no tomatoes you can buy in a grocery store are worth shit. They have been treated with a gas to make them turn red but they're unripe and have as much flavor as wax fruit. There is nothing better than a tomato straight from the garden still warm from the sun.

Look forward to gardening season every year for that reason. I can't think of any food better than a fresh garden tomato.

Grocery store tomatoes are suitable for making salsa though. I often take leftover salsa and use it as a base for chili

basically how I see AnOminous:
 
I appear to be the only person I know who likes Chuck Eye and thinks its a tasty cut of steak.
 
Hazelnut spread can be too fucking sweet
Edit: More of an autistic rant but if you're obese and rudely invite yourself to a dinner party and see the main course contains vegetables, don't blurt out "Oh, vegetables! I've haven't eaten them in months!" when all year you've bought nothing but oven ready pizzas and microwave lunches to your underweight daughter.

I see people losing their shit about pineapple on pizza but I just suddenly remembered people putting pineapple on burgers. I kinda liked it but I havent thought of it in over 10 or 12 years when I was first getting into cooking for myself.

Grill the pineapple while youre grilling the burger, and maybe for toppings you put like a purple onion and maybe a bit of cilantro and a savory sauce on the bun or something. Seems like a niche thing thats hard to make work but it could work.

Pineapple is acceptable on a pizza but must be actually fresh pineapple. Canned pineapple is garbage, at least on a pizza. Grilled pineapple chunks are even better. Also, it doesn't really work with red sauce. White sauce is better. Taking the Hawaiian theme seriously, luau style pork butt is the best accompaniment.

Pineapple on pizza isn't per se an abomination, but just putting some shitty canned pineapple on pizza, which is the vast majority of such pizzas, is an abomination.

Also, marinated artichoke hearts are a patrician pizza topping.

Grilled pineapple on a burger is absolutely a thing. In Australia, pineapple goes onto an 'everything' burger: meat patty, bacon, egg, beetroot and then all the salad there is. A proper burger is one you need three hands to eat.

Beetroot....?
Is it similar to beets, because dear God I adore me some beets and radishes since they're good for me.

Five guys is insanely overrated shake shack and others are much better and to that nigger that talked smack about pizza you are a niggerjew but aside from that soda drinks are plain awful aside from McDonald's coke ( which makes me wonder what they use for the ingredients to make it taste so good )

I use to work at five guys and some people would buy a burger (around 10 bucks), and then want a refund when they realized it didn't come with fries or a drink.
Sometimes people would come in, look at the prices and walk right back out.
The place has a weird cult following. Some dude saw my hat on my dashboard and offered me 20 bucks for it.
I've seen people drop over two hundred dollars in one sitting which is insane for a fast food place. I can't believe parents would spend that much money for a burger and a grilled cheese. Like either of those two things are that hard to make.
Plus the meat isn't seasoned at all. I think people just think it tastes better than other fast-food because they're so use to place that freeze their meat which is basically the only thing that sets them apart from other fast food. (And I guess the fries but again, not super hard to make them at home. Just gotta soak the starch out of them. Which is the only thing they do different plus the potatoes are fresh and not covered in like 40 different chemicals.)

Sorry for the rant. I worked there for a long time and I completely agree how overrated they are.

I also worked at five guys, it was my first job in high school. It was cool getting free burgers and it tasted so much better than the typical food available to me at the time. I recently went back and it was a mistake. I don't know why they don't salt the burgers it would make them much better. I remember working the register and people getting angry when told their order was $100. I don't blame them.
