I will argue for the erasure of the Sloppy Joe (and, by extension, the loose meat sandwich).

They are terrible sandwiches.

That’s my argument.

Somewhere, a single tear flows down James Hoffmann’s cheek...

Hey, you stole that picture from Weeds and Sardines (aka Brian Lagerstrom)!

In this day of frosting overload (seriously, I love frosting, but come on), I’ve moved on to the modified Elaine Benes “muffin” method in which you rip off the top (with frosting) and eat it first (getting a sugar rush overload but at least not needing to dislocate my jaw anaconda style).

Then, unlike Elaine, I eat…

“The naked truth is McDonald’s is in a business that any method of feeding 8 billion people is fundamentally at odds with the Earth’s integrity,”

I don’t know of any definitive ranking of various flavorants. It also gets into questions of whether we’re just talking about aldehydes, terpines and esters or if it’s the whole range of things like acids and glutamates.

Yes - the article makes it seem like benzaldehyde is the key to “more authentic” cherry flavor when it’s really just a novel method of making the exact same molecule we’ve been synthesizing since 1832.

Umm... I don’t know if the research extract was not clear or if this is a summary of other sources, but benzaldehyde is already what’s in artificial cherry flavor.

Yeah, my family were all poor - I myself lived in Section 8 housing and shopped with food stamps as a kid. No way in hell were we going to be making a white cake.

Yellow cake with chocolate frosting is my gold standard cake for any occasion. (It is always my birthday cake of choice.)

I think you should be able to pick it up without the app if you use the secret phrase “wubba lubba dub dub”

A buddy of mine had a hardcore Starbucks habit and back in 2004-ish had a ceramic Starbucks-issued mug that he brought in for some percentage off his drink cost (it was more than 10 cents). He was such a regular that they would start preparing his order as soon as he walked in the door.

OTOH, ungulates that we eat tend to have higher populations than the ones we don’t. Bison were nearly extinct (under 600) and then made a limited comeback (a few thousand) before ranchers saw a commercial reason to begin to raise them (500,000).

Most commercial bison are at least partially hybrids with cattle…

The Alton Brown and Guy Fieri episodes were among my favorites (of the ones that don’t involve a D-list celebrity breaking down in a snot-filled crying jag after the third wing). Support GMGUnion and read The Takeout? Might I suggest something that rhymes with MadBlock?

I make the Thai Style Chicken with Basil from Cook’s Illustrated at least once a month. My meatball recipe is largely adapted from theirs as well and I make their pork pies as well. My gumbo is a hodge podge of ideas from a lot of different sources but the spice mix is essentially a homemade version of Emeril’s…

I there anything more apropos than Dannis writing about a recipe inspired by dropping food on the floor?

Yeah, Salerno as a whole went bankrupt after Alyce (daughter of founder Fred) Salerno died and stopped all production. The company name was sold multiple times and Parmalat owns it now.

This is sponsored content hidden as terrible advice. Almost nothing in this article is true - cats are perfectly healthy and happy on good quality kibble. There are specific issues that some cats can have that might require a move to more of a wet diet or a limited-ingredient diet, but a primarily freeze-dried meat…

Tagalongs are obviously the best. What would be a very close runner up would be a version of the old Salerno Mint Cremes - think a Tagalong but with a York Peppermint Patty filling instead of peanut butter.
