This picture disgusts me so much that I desperately wish I could never see it again.

[–] TedDallas@programming.dev 3 points 6 hours ago

A bowel contraction sandwich. Thick cut. Kills men over 50. I salute you.

i'm a liar and I didn't make the sammich. I forgot this was the plan and I got rum instead.

[–] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 2 points 4 hours ago

Understandable. Can't argue either way. I'm over 50, both choices might kill me and I completely approve.

Europe: "terrorized and colonized the world to get spices" Also Europe: "serves up absolute disgusting food like this"

What the fuck was it all for?!?!

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

British Empire: Steals all the worlds spices

Also British Empire: Refuses to use any of them

[–] CXORA@aussie.zone 3 points 6 hours ago

The people who got rich pillaging the world weren't the ones who ate like this.

[–] rabber@lemmy.ca 13 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

UK isn't Europe it's just some shitty island

[–] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 1 points 4 hours ago

And yet somehow food is the only place their culture falls behind.

I know what I said.

Shitty islands

No, exactly the same parts of Europe. Both the Dutch and the English were know for their spice trade and are known for their awful food. The rest of Europe has better food and terrorized and colonized for other reasons.

[–] aeshna_cyanea@lemm.ee 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

That doesn't contradict what I said. Neither of those are a monolith.

The people doing the colonizing and using the spices and the people eating the bland food were from different parts of their countries.

[–] ammonium@lemmy.world 1 points 30 minutes ago

Enlighten me which part of the Netherlands doesn't eat bland food ;)

Isn't alfredo just greasy milk

[–] Osito@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Actual Alfredo has no dairy added other than cheese

[–] sunflowercowboy@feddit.org 6 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

I know, my fiancée makes it at home! I'm just a tomato kinda guy. Your comment and name made me think of greasy milk. I found it really inocuous and just a bit jarring, in a funny way.

Anyways, I retorted like that because I just ate this like a week ago. Ernest Hemingway wrote about it in For Whom the Bells Toll, in 6th grade it entranced me. It's pretty baller. Bread, cheese and onion.

They understand mexicans and biting into raw onions. If I had a pot of my mother's beans, I'd be in heaven. Every now and again celebrate where you come from or enjoy simple discomforts. It's why Islam venerates pilgramages and fasting. Christians, lent. Etc.

Thanks for letting me rant, I'm gonna go buy some beans.

Edit. Am boiling beans

[–] Lv_InSaNe_vL@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

Doesn't it have cream?

[–] selkiesidhe@lemm.ee 4 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Onion a little thick but fine I'll give you that but the cheese??? Good Lord man!

[–] MDCCCLV@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 minutes ago

Cheese isn't even good when it gets that thick. It takes on an unpleasant texture. And in a sandwich like that it would be ruinous to the bread. You would at least have to slice it thinner and layer it.

[–] isles@piefed.social 28 points 20 hours ago

They're doing it for the gains.

[–] frostysauce@lemmy.world 9 points 16 hours ago

No one was putting that much cheese on a ploughman's during the war.

[–] CMonster@discuss.online 6 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Imagining what the texture of that would feel like while eating it upsets me.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 2 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Not sure about the onion (prefer them pickled myself), but the rest looks fine. It's a big-ass chunk of (hopefully extra mature) cheddar and some bread and butter. Nowt wrong wi' that.

I dunno... that looks like a nice simple sandwich.

[–] Hyphlosion@lemm.ee 4 points 16 hours ago

What kind of herba mystica was used?

[–] Nalivai@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

If it's a nice bread and cheese, it's fucking amazing with a cup of tea.
