Re: crappy stuff you love

dammit, doritos are not "crappy." Yes, it's junk food, but not crappy junk food. Those snoballs, now THAT'S crappy junk food. Same goes for Chinese food - you can't dismiss a whole culture's cuisine as "crappy!"

Coors Lite is crappy, yes. They should rename it to "Rocky Mountain Goat Piss."

Well I find American Chinese food to frequently be crappy but then I've eaten in some seriously good Chinese restaurants where everything was made from scratch.

The shortcuts that most American Chinese restaurants take on eggrolls and sweet and sour pork are really bad. Clearly just mass produced freezer fare junk and they take a lot of shortcuts on other dishes too.

One of the best things in the world has got to be dim sum but its almost impossible to find in the U.S. unless you're in California or some high traffic tourist area in the U.S.

This place is in Des Moines-the best chili dogs and "Home of the Fat Man Special" which is memory serves in a fried pork tenderloin sandwich smothered in chili.

I just like the dogs.






This is not one of theirs-could not find a pic from George's.

What culture's cuisine consists of Doritos? j/k, the wording was a little funky

Seriously though, some of the flavorings on Doritos taste like herbed gasoline.

Agreed that a lot of Chinese is pretty bad. I have seen chow mein noodles made with spaghetti noodles so many times, and/or overcooked, and/or just flavorless and way too naked(I like a crunch in there somewhere, some bok choi or something at least). Fried rice is usually pretty bad these days too.

And super-agree on eggrolls. Most eggrolls are vile, and I LOVE eggrolls. If you get the chance, try some Vietnamese ones. They seem to be a much higher percentage play than the Chinese ones have been for a long time.

Also, if you ever get the chance to get GOOD Filipino eggrolls (lumpia) they are fantastic. The ones I like have pork and lots of veggies in them, and a few can make a whole meal.

Nacho Cheese Doritos smell exactly like Antelope. A hunting buddy told me this and I thought he was nuts. Antelope are fairly stinky animals and have a peculiar odor. So, next time I open up a bag of Nacho Cheese Doritos I stick my nose in and take a sniff and by golly, antelope

Re: crappy stuff you love

That's pretty funny, Fish. They've got to work that into the advertising somehow.

Or maybe you could use Doritos as an antelope lure?

Hummm.... Antelope lure.... Now that's interesting!!!

When we Bowhunt antelope a lot of times we use a decoy to bring in a buck. One guy hold the decoy (which is basically a silhouette of a buck antelope) and sneak u over a hill to let the buck in the group see the decoy. The other guy hides off to the side and hopefully gets a shot while the buck comes in to get a closer look at the decoy. During the rut they will get very aggressive and I have talked to people who have stopped doing that because they actually had buck antelope attack them and the decoy. No telling what would happen if they had an open bag of doritos in their pocket!
