I haven't tried the chicken yet, but I always get the raw quail egg on an uni hand roll.

Went to Japan a couple of years ago to a chicken izakaiya that advertised a raw chicken/raw egg combo. As an American I got skeezed out but someone ordered it and I realized that if they wanted to stay in business, they weren't going to put their clientele in jeopardy, so I tried it. Tasted good, like sushi. No issues.

This is how I ended up eating chicken sashimi in Tokyo. It was part of a set menu that our Japanese friend had pre-ordered so I thought 'fuck it, when in Rome' - it startled me on first sight too but I figured that it was supposed to come like that and no restaurant on Earth would unknowingly serve chicken THAT raw. I certainly wouldn't recreate it with chicken from the average supermarket but it was nice!
My culinary atrocity is my version of store cupboard pasta salad. Whatever short pasta I have to hand, mixed with a handful of raisins, some sweetcorn, a chopped apple (preferably Braeburn for texture and sourness), some salted peanuts and a tiny bit of mayonnaise. I don't remember where this combination came from (I suspect it was my student days) but it's my favourite quick snack. Really good to take to work for lunch as well!
 
I ran across this guy, B. Dylan Hollis, who likes to restore old cars and appliances, as well as try to cook some of the aforementioned 'vintage' recipes (typically, WW2/Depression era, though he's done older stuff). Sadly, the silly bastard puts it mostly on TikTok, but his Youtube channel is here (and you can generally find compilations on YT).

He may be gay, but at least he's amusing.

I agree, I hate that the trend now is to add too much cheese, and especially cheese sauce to burgers. I hated the 'juicy lucy' because who wants to bite into something and have it gush fluid into your mouth, especially hot cheese, but now theyre putting like liters of cheese sauce on burger stacks, and even pouring it over the bun in some cases. The concept of more=better is kinda stupid too, there is the concept of diminishing returns.

I don't mind the Juicy Lucy (although I'd never eat one) because it was invented back in the 30s as a way to riff on a hamburger by combining it with a cordon bleu (the cheese slice is inside the burger, not on top of it). The reason it had its reputation ruined by these monstrosities with a gallon of cheesy jizz on them is because food bloggers have absolutely no concept of restraint.

I'll be real, for drunk food they started off strong. I bet the taste of the hot dogs and the egg isn't too bad if you're tastebuds are toast. Then this bitch makes a beer cheese sauce to go over the top. Why can't we just do a hotdog with a toasted bun, with cheese sauce, covered in a nice fried egg with a gooey yolk? Is that not a better way to present this?

I think some folks should have their waffle irons revoked. Also, paperclips on my food. No, thank you.

I repeat, this is for the drunkest of the drunk. We all know the monstrosities that we tolerate under the influence.

I mean for fuck's sake I ate a block of feta cheese once.

Seeing those hot dogs sliced and peeled like that made me feel uneasy though, like a proto-nausea. Thankfully that part was mercifully short.

The problem with it as drunk food is nobody drunk enough to eat it is going to take the time to make this shit.
 
I've never heard of a Juicy Lucy before, but that was how my elementary school made their cheeseburgers. Kraft singles sandwiched between two equally thin meat patties. School food so it tasted about as good as you'd expect.

Fucking thankyou. I was only this week trying to explain to a colleague about this monstrosity. I couldn't fucking find it on YouTube though for some reason.

Occasionally I think about making a thread about white trash cooking. I understand if you really need to, but some of these people I watch on YT...that doesn't seem to be the case. They just literally like eating next to no vegetables that aren't canned or potatoes and every cream cheese and cream of soup concoction under the sun.

We all know Simply Sara and her culinary atrocities, but another one of my favorite culinary cows is SouthernWife EverydayLife. She is not a cow in the traditional sense which could warrant its own thread, but the shit she makes is disgusting for literally every single meal of the week. Given that her and her husband are insanely obese and she defends it by saying "WELL MUH FAMILY IS FED!!", it is just lolworthy there. She owns a home, a large truck, some toys, and where she saves is that she refuses to go to a doctor ever and she feeds her family absolute shit, much to her fatass husband's seal of approval (no, he is a complete unit, bigger than her by far). They both appear to be in their late 30s/early 40s and it is going to catch up to them fast. They have not fat kids somehow, but kids, yes they have. She is a SAHM and her children are not infants so I don't get why she insists on feeding everyone shit when she literally has the time to do better and it would be ultimately cheaper to cook from scratch instead of all these cream of shit abominations.

It's sort of like this broccoli salad I used to buy at this supermarket chain that shuttered. Pathmark maybe? It just didn't have the pasta and instead had broccoli. I ate it a lot.
