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.
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.

Coors Lite is crappy, yes. They should rename it to "Rocky Mountain Goat Piss."
The Rocky Mountain Goat Anti-Defamation League lodged a protest...

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

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!

I saw these at the store last week and had to buy them. I hadn't thought about them in years. I was surprised then were under $2. I was like "wow, that's pretty cheap! Those are good!" then I remembered "oh yeah they take 6 months off the end of your life though"

Don't think I've ever met someone who doesn't love Nutty Bars.

In before "I can't stand those."

Solid bump. I'm always excited to see what I posted in really old threads that get bumped and I did not disappoint myself this time. Almost started crying from laughing so hard this morning remembering Darvin Ham's friend's reaction to her comment.

I read a few years ago that the Nutty Bars were the unhealthiest Little Debbie snack, in terms of calories and whatnot. Which is certainly an accomplishment.

Being a Type 1 diabetic for forty years, I have always kept a box of Little Debbies in the house for when the ol' blood sugar level took an insulin spin and dropped. For the past few years, it has been these:


They are viciously sweet, and the sugar in there hits my system faster than just about anything else, including orange juice, which is considered the fastest by many. A doctor told me once that it might have something to do with the frosting (mmmmmm....frosting) and creamy filling get absorbed in the membranes of the gums and mouth, and hitting quicker than if it was having to be absorbed into the bloodstream via digestion. I don't know if it is true or not. Don't care...it works like a glucose IV, and, to a sugar starved body, they taste amazing.

Plus, the frosting has a sloppy, chewy texture that coagulates into little geometric surprises behind one's teeth. It's a new, tasty, architectural treat, every time you eat one.

My mess is pretty well controlled, so I seldom have to scarf one. And after a few weeks, one has to toss the box, as they apparently don't have the same mix of preservatives as Hostess cakes, and start to lose taste and consistency.

Little Debbies are manufactured within a few miles from here, by McKee Bakery. The are a family-owned business, and basically own (or have owned) the town of Collegedale, which gets it's name from Southern College, a Seventh-Day Adventist school, that dominates the city. A lot of Adventists, as would be expected, live there. The Adventists are known for their adherence to a more healthy diet. Many are vegetarian, and they hew to a diet based on Judaic law. In Collegedale is a supermarket that sells food that is in accordance with such dietary standards, and has some amazing food. Their deli, alone, has customers who drive over a hundred miles to get 'em some. A friend who is a veggie-foodie type (yeah...I find that a little oxymoronic, too) swears by it. Just don't show up on Saturday, because it's the Sabbath, and they are closed up tight.

That such vicious nutritional landmines as Debbie Cakes (as some of the locals still call 'em) are produced a literal stone's throw from this bastion of healthy food always gave me a chuckle. Some may not remember when they were actually marketed as a healthy alternative.

I have no idea whether or not there is truth to the rumor that Debbie McKee, the bakery owner's granddaughter who served as the model for the iconic logo, is a lesbian and has been disowned by her family, although that has been repeated as fact by several Collegedale citizens I know. The fact that she apparently still works for the company kind of dispels the notion, or at least the part about her being ostracized. The hat and flannel shirt, though, do suggest that maybe "Little Butchie" would have been a more accurate sobriquet.
