btw, gravy on fries?!?? whatever's next, ketchup on a burger?

If you want to eat nice food, but all you have is ramen, don't make it by just dumping it into water and adding the seasonings. Instead:

1) Bring two pots of water, one large and one small, to a boil.
2) Put the instant ramen into the large bowl for three minutes.
3) Drain the ramen, and run it through cold water. This will improve the ramen texture. You should be left with cold, springy ramen.
4) Put the ramen into a serving bowl. Now pour the boiling water onto this ramen.
5) Finally, add the seasonings.
6) If you didn't use Nissin ramen, throw everything into the trash can.

This way you will experience a far superior ramen texture and also a soup base which is less starchy.

Wow, this is wayyyy more effort than I'm willing to do for an 18 cent dinner.

My ramen of choice:

Or try to snort it. Friend did that when on shrooms. Idiot.

RE: French Fries w/ gravy, here's the extra step:



It's delicious and almost every non-Quebecer who's tried it loves it. I don't get how it hasn't caught on in the US/rest of Canada yet.

Is that scrambled eggs? Butter? Corn Pops?

super asian ramen >>>>>>>> crappy grocery store ramen

probably in part because it's called poutine

cheese fries and gravy fries are not uncommon in the US - rarer to combine them though

gnocchi?

cheese curd, you heathens

I said in the post "this process is most useful for divvying up drugs". It seems to be pretty clear it's not cake. Using this method to get a perfectly fair split of a pizza it's pretty nitty, but if you're splitting drugs up or other expensive things not easily measurable at the time of the split it works well.

From our French Canadian Bretheran, Montreal.
"You want fries with that?" taken to another level.


Open 24/7 in the heart of the Plateau District, La Banquise offers a dangerously delicious selection of 25 different poutines, going from classic pork larded fries, ample fresh curds and sauce to pushing the limits of the human digestive system with T-Rex. Piling bacon, ground beef, pepperoni and smoked sausage on top of an already calorie-stuffed poutine base, meat lovers have the option of adding smoked meat, merguez, and italian sausage to their T-Rex poutine ... as extras. Go ahead. I dare you.

That plate just makes me think...

I'm not ashamed to say I'm scared of that. It looks like they could bury you under there and no one would find the body for weeks.

Not the on demand channel, the actual broadcast of HBO.

Ya I'd seen it but I've never done coke and other drugs are cheap so splitting them to that extent is still dumb. I guess heroine you'd use your technique as well but who seriously does that?

Is coke expensive enough that you have to divvy up lines in a careful manner?

You can get this in most parts of Canada pretty easily. Sometimes the hard part is getting it with cheese curds and not just shredded cheese.

Unless you are on Southwest.

The pictures of food in this thread are getting increasingly vile.

I fully support this method for splitting a cookie. When I split a cookie, it's usually because I'm trying to diet, which means I am very hungry. I do not want to get the shaft on my cookie cut.


Yes coke is that expensive. But saying "you cut, I'll pick" would be a major party foul. And people who do coke are cool. Not to mention doing coke between only two people is kinda lame - and would be orders of magnitude more lame if you were fighting over line sizing.

However, there is a converse to this. Most of the time the person cutting the lines will take the first line (which amazingly is also usually very big). But if you want to be a really cool person, cut the lines then pass it. So you end up taking the last line. This is advanced stuff, only attempt if you are a major dude.

What also happens is sometimes you get the plate with a group of lines and it's not really clear which side you're supposed to start on. In that case a smart person usually sizes them up and picks the bigger one. He knows what he's doing. Everyone at the table knows what he's doing. But no one says anything. It's the code.

Someone who doesn't know how to cut lines very well often will have the lines getting increasingly larger or smaller as they go across. So picking your side can make a substantial difference. Now if someone in front of you already picks a side, and the next line on that side sucks, you can always pretend you weren't paying attention and go from the other side. (Which of course you were paying attention. Everyone at the table was paying rapt attention - except maybe people who have only done coke < 5x in their life.)

Very uncool though would be to start with a line in the middle that's obviously biggest. Again probably no one would say anything. But the others at the table would be rolling their eyes, and that person would be knocked down a notch in their eyes. It's like leaving a party with what's left of the beer you brought.

Now, and this is a serious tip, the best scenario only works if you have enough coke, and noone is a fiend or a dick about it. In that case you put the coke off in the kitchen or something, and just let people do a line whenever they feel like it. This removes all the politics. More importantly it keeps the entire focus of attention from being on the coke in the middle of the table - freeing people up to actually have inane coke-fueled ramblings and banter. Which is really the spirit of the thing. But again, one dickhead can ruin it for everyone.

Also if you're doing a line more often than every 20 minutes you're just wasting it and gakking yourself out.

(See the movie Tree's Lounge for hilarious coke-politics scene.)
