Is this a category error? Like a taco is not a specific dish, it’s a format for a vast array of dishes. Pretty much any combination of tortilla, protein, and salsa is a taco (add garnishes if you want). It would be like saying “sandwich” is the state food.

It’s kind of surprising they have taken this long to do this, since “beans” are sort of the classic protein source from plants (tofu is beans) and they are also *all over* both mexican and tex-mex food. Like really all they had to do was ensure they have some beans with no meat in them, use those beans, and omit the…

Counterpoint: the best cole slaw has no mayonnaise in it. I grew up eating the mayo slaw, I hated it, I still hate it, and I thought I hated “cole slaw” as a result. Then I learned about vinegar slaw and, well, look at the username.

So are they going to sell cans, or could one hypothetically purchase 44 ounces of Red Bull as part of a terrible series of choices?

I miss when Bioware made single player RPGs. Hopefully EA lets them do that again.

I mean, I’ve had Philly Cheesesteaks that were evocative of if not largely indistinguishable from the real thing where the meat was replaced with mushrooms (which are “meaty” tasting due to the high proportion of guanylates- just add MSG and you’re there). So why not?

I can’t imagine any kind of curation someone would implement on purpose would be worse than “no curation”.

Linked article says “more locations worldwide by 2025" and I have to say that feels like kind of a weird deadline to set. I know relatively little about the international licensed restaurant business but it seems like the next step after “2nd location” is “3rd location” which should take a lot less than six years. Are…

Without the dancefloor and the pulse meter, it seems a lot harder to find the beat. So I wonder if this is going to be an “actions take place on the beat”without any punitive mechanics for missing a beat sort of thing.

I mean, the Zagnut bar is just a superior alternative to Butterfinger.

I mean, the first question I would have is- what precisely are you doing where it is important that the marshmallows are *dehydrated*?

One year I gave up “resisting temptation” for Lent. Probably the worst thing that happened to me during that period was “I ate a P’Zone.”

I feel like a large part of it is “Big open space without a lot of people or buildings” is much easier to simulate than a crowded space with lots of people and buildings (particularly if you want to represent the interiors, by letting people go inside.)

So I am from the Upper Midwest, and I do not and have never liked fried cheese curds. I mean fresh cheese curds are one of life’s sublime pleasures, but at the point your are breading, freezing, and frying them I want no part of it. Like that particular approach is better suited to pretty much any foodstuff that’s not…

I mean, you can buy bags of marbits on Amazon now. Something like $10/lb; you probably do not need more than a pound of dehydrated marshmallows for anything you should be doing.

“Should I buy oven-safe crocks, knowing I will probably use them for nothing but french onion soup” is a dilemma I often find myself facing.

It’s kind of just “variant falafel” then? “Falafel is delicious” should not be news at this point.

I mean, I don’t even want to talk to “gamers” and I didn’t make a game so they don’t even really have a reason to be mad at me.

So what happens to the baguettes that are discarded after 90 minutes of sitting around? Are they just going to go straight to the trash before someone invents like a crouton or pain perdu vending machine?

It’s going to be hilarious when the Budweiser branded meats have corn syrup in them.
