Wait. You eat the brain?

If so...uhhh...NOPE.

It's not the brain. It's the gonads (as well as the malacostracan equivalent of the pancreas and liver). You don't have to suck the head, but that's proper eating procedure here. Tastes like sea urchin or lobster roe.

When somebody lobs a softball at you, it's a shame not to swing at it.

Sunday dinner -- roasting a half chicken

with the only two celeriac roots in the over-wintered crop that got to be bigger than golfballs and so were worth roasting as a veg rather than grating to flavour a soup.

Okay, so, I'm a foodie by nature, but I also have a gastronomic curiosity matched only by a goat with the same culinary disregard of a Roomba rolling over thumb tacks. So, I discover this thing at KFC.

This freaking thing:



Yes, this is a thing that exists. Your eyes do not deceive you: it is a sandwich with a layer of bacon, two layers of cheese, and some sort of mayonnaise-y sauce crammed between two pieces of fried chicken, and that's it.

This is the Donald Trump of fast food items. So, with the same feckless disregard I have when ordering fried chocolate-covered triple-sugar-coated wombat faces from the State Fair, I had to order and eat this thing. Because if there is one thing I will do before I die, it will be to eat all things that can be eaten.

As soon as it was brought out, me and the other guy at the counter were instantly inflicted with gout. I drove home and got a Mike's Harder Black Cherry Lemonade to drink with it, because I had already shelled out what little was left of my dignity and common sense in ordering a Double Down.

And I ate it. I ate that bastard. And it was glorious. Each bite brought me closer to either a cosmic epiphany or a coronary embolism. Halfway through, Denis Leary appeared in my apartment and extolled me to finish that freaking sandwich like a man. And finish I did.

And frankly...as ashamed as I am to say this...it's pretty good. This is not high-quality levels of food porn here, this is 'I-have-to-go-to-work-at-3-AM, so-sue-me' food porn. This is the difference between a Miyazaki film and some badly cropped Macross film that's still amazing because it's all the dogfights. This is simple food, for that every now-and-then need to just throw caution and unblocked arteries to the wind.

This is grindhouse food.

It's a limited time thing, but apparently, like the Terminator, it just won't die and stay dead. So, eat this thing now, if you are absolutely out of shits to give...or wait till it comes back like a deep-battered Ernst Blofeld, because it will.

So much was siggable about that post that I might just have to use some of it.

Knock yourself out, moy droog!

Those double downs are lethal. If anyone wanted to kill themselves, they'd just have to eat 2 or 3 and they'd be done. Probably the best way to go. Pretty sure we have this year round though, not some limited thing, probably because most Canadians aren't morbidly obese with hair trigger hearts that are set off by stuff like this.

The grilled double down without the coating is actually pretty good, nutrient wise.

I'll stick to my In-N-Out double meat mustard grilled w/ onions, thankyewverymuch.

Nuke's sig brought me here. With a quote like that, one just has to know the context. I was not disappointed.

I ate one when they first came out a few years back. I regretted it half-way through.

Last week, I gave it another go when I saw that KFC had brought it back. Still not that great.

Gob's post, however, is nothing short of glorious. That is how you tell a food story. Nice Leary cameo, by the way.

So here's a tumblr for you -- http://someoneatethis.tumblr.com/

I made cheesy biscuits, tonight.



I got the recipe from Cooking Comically, but I used a hell of a lot more cheese, like, twice the amount.

I also made a batch of gluten free biscuits for my stepfather, they're pretty good. So, SSD, you can make them, too. I got it out of a book, but if you look up "Cheddar Boss Biscuits", you should find them.

No past due steak was involved, thankfully.

Aww man, that sounds good. Gotta make them for a cheat meal sometime. Thanks for the info!

Grilled pizza:

Looks so damn good!
