@Geist: Add a touch of Sambal, and some salt and pepper, and you have a deal.

Iceburg lettuce should be outlawed because it isn't good for anything. Even rabbits will look at it and say "What is this sh*t? You couldn't afford to feed me arugula?"

@GM: I hope you are talking about the squash and not the pumpkin. Pumpkin with salt and pepper isn't tasty.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-24T09:48:20-05:00
I am allergic to pumpkins, they make me puke, hence why they are on the list. Plus, really, they are a huge ecological waste of resources. Grow something edible on those tracts of land.

Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-24T09:49:42-05:00
My take on pumpkin, squash, eggplant et. al; is that if you cook anything with enough sugar, oil, salt, garlic, etc. it can be made to taste good -- even dogshit.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-02-24T09:50:01-05:00
So I guess not pumpkin pie for you on Thanksgiving?
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-02-24T09:50:29-05:00
Nope. Dog shit can never taste good no matter what you do to it.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-24T09:52:01-05:00
Not even Thanksgiving, it too is a sham. The event we celebrate is actually not the one of the Puritans being saved by the Indians, but rather, a huge massacre of Indians by settlers at a later date.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-02-24T09:52:14-05:00
I'm not crazy about pears. Pear flavored stuff are ok. Eating most pears doesn't taste/feel right to me.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-24T09:52:50-05:00
There is a bunch of history that we "learned" in school that is actually straight up lies.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-02-24T09:53:26-05:00
I thought Thanksgiving was a holiday where we celebrate gluttony. Or pretend that we are grateful what what we have. Or something like that. Mostly gluttony.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-24T09:54:22-05:00
Fer example. The mythos of the American West. Rugged cowboys, everyone wearing pistols, cowering townsfolk afraid of the bad guys ...
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-02-24T09:54:50-05:00
There is a bunch of history that we "learned" in school that is actually straight up lies.
I know. Do you remember the little programs on Saturday mornings called "School House Rock"? The history parts were so laughable. Funny how they left out slavery and such but I guess you can't do a fun ditty about that.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-24T09:55:07-05:00
Most real cowboys were Hispanic or black. Statistically, not many people had guns. There are regular accounts of townspeople just up and killing bad guys when they came to town.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-24T09:56:10-05:00
And the easiest way to get shot in the West, was shooting yourself. Most gun related deaths were accidents that were self-inflicted.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-02-24T09:56:37-05:00
You mean all cowboys weren't variations on the Marlboro man? (That was sarcasm. I know they weren't)
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-24T09:57:35-05:00
And while there are wild west towns, there was also a quick movement to make them genteel and civilized. Rough and ready mining camps aside, a lot of the places out west, by 1880, were pretty decent to live in.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-24T09:58:28-05:00
If not more decent, compared to the tenements and slums of the east.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-02-24T09:59:14-05:00
So, no Sheriff Barts?
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-24T09:59:20-05:00
Cowboys were also quite likely to shoot their own horse, rather than to have a friendship with it ... and horse was eaten, a lot.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-24T10:00:59-05:00
There is one well-known event where the sheriff was the lead bad guy by night. I think it was in the area of Bannock Montana, during one of their early gold strikes.

Curious GCoD: From where do you get this information?
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-24T10:03:28-05:00
The rapid demise of the horse as a means of transport across the West shows how poorly thought of the horse was. Folks couldn't wait to buy even the crudest and earliest of cars. But at the time, the horse was the best choice. Trains also went a lot more places back then -- the US has lost over 55% of its one-time route miles.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-24T10:04:01-05:00
I've got tons (literally) of history books in the library downstairs ...
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-02-24T10:06:04-05:00
I would think the demise of horse as main transportation would be because keeping up it's health would be a drain on family resources.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-24T10:06:36-05:00
Also, a lot of what we "know" about the wild west is actually a corruption of what we have known from TV and movies. It has tended to greatly over-simplify the tales, or replace them with romanticized versions.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-24T10:07:47-05:00
Yes, that too. Horse upkeep when you have farm is at least offset by using the horse on the farm for work; but for the town doctor or someone like that, the horse is an expense.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-02-24T10:07:50-05:00

Like slavery.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-02-24T10:09:25-05:00
Not to mention that you have to train a horse. Just having one pop out at birth doesn't mean that it will know how to carry a rider. So that is a few years of just feeding a horse that you have to pay for.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-02-24T10:10:13-05:00

Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-24T10:26:05-05:00
Save some bacon for me, too! Moslems don't know what they're missing!!
@Geist: Around here, you can just order it from the local grocery store. We had it at New Years 2 years ago. It was so delicious, and it had stuffing in it too.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-02-24T10:33:50-05:00
Bacon cupcakes are soooo good. Maybe Creeper will make some for us if/when we visit her in NY?
Mushrooms...should all be burned and never eaten....well, texture wise that is what should happen. Flavour wise...they are amazing. Especially roasted in the oven until a golden colour, then sauté them with garlic and sambal, a bit of salt and pepper, then a touch(I'm talking a pinch) of parsley.
@Geist: Sambal is just simply amazing chili. I like spicy foods, and that stuff is REALLY spicy(just 1/5 a teaspoon is more than some people can handle).
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-02-24T10:42:20-05:00
I don't like hot sauce at all. Spicy foods don't taste like anything but pain. And not the spank you on the butt kind of pain.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-02-24T10:43:50-05:00

Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-24T10:44:36-05:00
GM, depends on the sambal, I know of five or six different kinds. The hottest is what you're describing there, but something like sambal manis would require quiteva bit more
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-24T10:45:51-05:00
Why would you waste something as good as sambal by putting it on something as nasty as squash
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-24T10:46:56-05:00
Oh, someone mentioned truffles. Given the chance, I'd probably try one of those to see what the hype us all about

Brussels Sprouts, blegh.
Ok, my internet is acting up.
Don't you guys like to eat ANYTHING? Every time I come on here, someone's trashing uet another good, wholesome food, like sugar,butter, or bacon!
I have a dog that disagrees with you about the tasta of dog poop. He can't get enough of the stuff.

So, @GCoD, what did shrooms do to you? They made me love them.
And nobody touches my iceberg lettuce!
Pig is tasty. I loooooooove baked ham.
Bacon wrapped turducken. Heart attack right there. But so f-ing good!
Mushroom are tasty because they taste like meat. I love them.
@CB: You don't let the dog kiss you after eating poo, do you?
Waitaminute. Which one is that?
I've never had turducken before. I've got to go to New Orleans and try me some.

Black coffee is uncomfortable and odd to drink. (without tons of sugar, of course) It's great in food like cake or ice cream.
did someone say guacamole???
Blech. Tasteless farm crap. Last thing on the menu if there's nothing else available.
Wild mushrooms. Porcini and almost everything else.
Aren't you suppose to be making us some at the Kitten Con Jelle?
What we want is Creeper's baking CB... and candy.
Mushrooms...should all be burned and never eaten....well, texture wise that is what should happen. Flavour wise...they are amazing. Especially roasted in the oven until a golden colour, then sauté them with garlic and sambal, a bit of salt and pepper, then a touch(I'm talking a pinch) of parsley.
Quite a bit of pepper.
What is it with you and sambal GM?
But we get to keep the wacky mushrooms, right?
It's his sriracha.
Mushrooms...blech! "Hey! Look at those phallic things growing out of that rotting stuff. Let's eat those!" No, thank you.
LOL@LZ
Everything grows out of rotting stuff, LZ.
As long as it isn't that Tabasco gunk, don't get why so many people like it...

I love mushrooms!.... they give me really bad gas though.

I don't like hot sauce at all. Spicy foods don't taste like anything but pain. And not the spank you on the butt kind of pain.
Mmm, truffles. Growing in rotting stuff and dug out by snotty pigs. Yum.
lol@Idle
Yeah, but at least everything else has the rotten stuff blended into the soil first. With mushrooms, they just grow right from the dank
I like spicy, I just don't like [omgicannolongerfeelmytonguetotasteanything] hot.
Well not exactly. Only in dank farms.

LZ if you find one share it. I can't afford it. :)
I like most hot sauces. I don't like that Tobasco crap, though
@LZ +1
I prefer a regular hot pepper on the side.
The bestest hot sauce ever is my own recipe. I may be a little biased
No spicy peppers either.
Nothing beats the grassy / ant acid flavor while you scream.
Habanaro peppers are just pain multiplied by 100.
Talking about spicy stuff makes me want some lassi
Oh, but habañeros have such a delicious flavor!
@Geist that's more like 50 shades of grey kind of masochism. I'll take a medium.
Mmmmmm! Lassi
habañeros have such a delicious flavor!
Pain has no flavor. Just...pain.
The taste of your tongue bleeding.
