i have a visceral aversion to slimy food and a shellfish allergy. i do not think they are the right food for me. more for you? :P

THAT TOO.
i've totally made new kids at work nearly piss themselves after catching them wiping noses/not changing gloves/etc. you can make people sick that way, kid, don't be a twat.

mmm, moroccan. so many places i have to visit in oregon...

the skin/peel is contaminated, and if you cut right into it without washing it can drag bacteria into the fruit, which is pretty much ideal conditions for exponential growth. your dad's a clever one. :)

a lot of our produce comes from Mexico, and depending on where it's grown, it can be difficult to verify that the water was not contaminated with sewage/manure. always wash your produce, yo.

reading this post while eating mac & cheese with hot dogs = crap food-ception

*sneaks out back door*

BC. sorry :(

well, Vancouver. Yaggers, which comes off as an obnoxious sports bar but their smoked and slow cooked meats are to die for. The lads are always fucking with the menu items so it may have changed already...but mmm

there's always the chance someone might be looking in your fridge. >.>

1) it's amazing how much of this you learn/notice working in a grocery store with psychotic food safety standards. for example: we often don't have sprouts for sale because they failed to hit the right temp and humidity upon arrival, so they get sent back. :(

2) raw milk makes really good cheese, but the FDA/CDC say…

one of my locals does poutine: proper crispy fries, veal demi, wild boar bacon, local curds, and something i can only describe as candied parsley. all of it is delicious and absurd, but the demi....i would drink that.

i get lists similar to this a lot, but i do work at a place we'll call Complete Noms in the most diet-obsessive part of vancouver, so i kind of expect it after a while.

cheesemonger by trade with an embarrassing affinity for Velveeta here. we've all got our weaknesses.

it's funny: i recoil at this, at hakarl, any fish that is squishy or jellylike and fermented. but bonito/katsuobushi? HOLY FUCK USE IT IN EVERYTHING. ramen doesn't taste right without the dried, fermented tuna element.

man. i'd be pissed off though. i had a server once who took the time to enter me in the computer as "____'s emo friend" but couldn't be arsed to actually bring me more than one drink in an hour and a half. that rubbed me the wrong way and she was just making fun of my hair or something.

that is what i came here to ask. SIX a day?? i'm not so worried about my twice-weekly portion of organic beef then.

you're entirely right. i still feel strongly that respect for others' identities doesn't require a crash course in gender studies though, and if you're going to write about a subject it's always a good idea to do five minutes of research...

damn it, media. using pronouns correctly is kind of a minimum standard. we could be having intelligent, aware discussions about the current experiences of young people coming out as trans, and instead we're still fucking around misgendering them and using scare quotes. SMDH.

i already had marmite grilled cheese yesterday. now i am seriously craving a Veggie Delight on rosemary rock salt. Montreal style bagel, hella cream cheese, lettuce cucumber peppers red onion capers sprouts and pickled fucking beans. OH THE CRUNCHINESS.
