I suspect it’s the cider vinegar that gives it the slightly sweet zing.

I’d be interested to know what kind of tomatoes the experts are basing their opinions on. I started refrigerating ripe, farmer’s market or home-grown tomatoes for the same reasons as the Serious Eats guy — refrigeration didn’t harm their taste or texture at all, while leaving them out just hastened their decline.…

I love Duke’s! Somehow, Woodman’s supermarket here in Wisconsin stocks it, so I’m actually able to enjoy it here in the Midwest, which is great. I love Hellman’s/Best Foods, too. To me they’re very different. Hellman’s is more like what I think of as classic mayo, while Duke’s is sweeter...almost like mayo with a…

I found it hard to focus on the episode because I kept imagining Jack suddenly bursting into Rebecca and Miguel’s house, announcing that he’d faked his death for twenty years as a test to see if his buddy would try to move in on his wife, and then just kicking Miguel’s ass all the way down the block.

Rule of thumb: whatever a therapist lists as their specialties are the issues they are personally dealing with.

“The Soup That Eats Like A Meal*”

Absolutely, bring on the mealworms, but just call it something else so I don’t have to think about it!

Oh, absolutely, it is pure fantasy. It’s just maddening is all.

Yeah, I mean ultimately the problem is servers having to rely on tips just to get to minimum wage.

Hey, on one of these Gawker articles I actually did read an experience where the server was being harassed, and the manager actually ejected them from the premises. So...that’s one!

I guess I’m looking at it in terms of the time and labor, as well as the overall atmosphere of the place. A server shouldn’t feel like they have to either ignore the abuse and continue serving the table, or speak up about it and maybe shut down the abuse, but still have to serve the table (and get a shitty/no tip).…

It shouldn’t be on the servers to police asshole customers. Any harassment should be reported to the manager, and if the manager is any kind of worthwhile human being, they should immediately eject the offending customer(s) from the establishment.

Score one for the Pesticide Pushers of the...uh, Pesticides!

Remember when Alex Garland wrote, like, books? I mean a couple of them anyway!

If any company can make algae burgers and wormballs work, it’s IKEA. After two hours staggering through one of their stores, I’m usually famished enough to eat shredded foam rubber if it comes with gravy and lingonberry sauce.

Britons should definitely cut back on their Chinese takeout meals and stick to healthy, low-sodium British food, like bacon, sausages, and fish & chips!

They won’t even be decomposing dead hands due to their high salt content!

I can almost guarantee that if I called him right now and asked him to list his top five macaroni-makers, he’d have to think about it for a minute, and none of the names in his top five would begin with the word “aunt.”

I initially misread your comment as “throwing up bubbly water through my nose.” I have done this, and cannot recommend.

Me too, and I avoid eating pigs for the same reason. Which makes me sad, because pork and octopus are freaking delicious. It does make me wonder, though, is an animal more tasty the more intelligent it is? You know where I’m going with this, right?
