I get the feeling that the fight they’re having is not about the fight that they’re having.

everyone knows that if you are bringing in the money, rules don’t apply to you.

Apparently nothing.

If saying “you’re a pussy” and “fuck” as an employee of LSU is a fireable offense. the LSU Tigers are going to be in need of a shit ton of new football and basketball coaches.

If you’re in the US, I hear Gardein makes really nice mock fish sticks. Those might be okay with cocktail sauce.

ok i can get why an older person would order it, i just can’t imagine it being on a list of entrees

Ha I scrolled down to drop a nerd bomb of Hawkeye history on their comment, but you beat me to it.

Cocktail sauce is a reasonable dip for crunchy bitter vegetables — carrots, celery, eggplant, radishes. I know it sounds disgusting but it is not, it is yum.

I adore cocktail sauce on sweet potato fries. *waves at fellow vegetarian*

Cocktail sauce and cream cheese is an EXCELLENT cracker dip, even sans seafood.

My mother’s recipe for Sloppy Joe’s was to just mix ground beef and a bottle of chili sauce to taste, and then letting that simmer in a crock-pot for a few hours. (I’m sure there was a more precisce ratio, but can’t remember it now.) Given how similar chili and cocktail sauce are...I’m betting you could make some…

Well, yes and no.

No, he’s been canonically deaf off and on since the early 80s. Not a new thing at all, although it’s been handled with differing levels of respect and plausibility. Fraction’s take on this has been excellent, but it’s not a new thing.

Well, he was wonderful as the mayor in American Hustle — few can pull off the 70s pompadour with such flair. And he isn’t terrible as Hawkeye, though I am pretty miffed with how the MCU portrays (i.e., completely changes and ignores his deafness) one of my favorite comic characters.

It is good with cream cheese on a triscuit if you do dairy! If not just think along those lines and you can probably pair it with something.

Cocktail sauce and Ritz (or the vegan/vegetarian cracker of your choice). Seriously. When I was a kid, I didn’t much like shrimp, but loved cocktail sauce and “buttery” crackers. I will still have that sometimes.

actually, i recall eating it on radishes as a kid and liking it. maybe give that a try.

I don’t know if you are a drinker (I dabble) but if you are a vegetarian, why not just throw a little (or a freaking LOT) of cocktail sauce in a Bloody Mary? Or just eat it with a spoon. I won’t judge you.

To be fair, a sensitive gag reflex takes the joy out of pureed food.

I think sensitivities to red dye is a real thing
