Is it really hard to understand that our lives are influenced by culture/morality/philosophy/politics?

I'm glad we're only talking about our diets, and not our personal views on homosexuality, sexism, xenophobia, racism, equality, etc., etc., etc., ....

OldRover · 11/08/2009, 11:34 AM

Humans can survive on a vegetarian diet. It's not what is optimal for the human body, but we can do it. As for the concept of violence...we are social creatures by nature, and both violence and civility comes from our social construction. The two are not comparable concepts. Other lesser animals who exhibit violence do so for the same reason...social construct. Animals who kill other animals for food are not being violent; they're hungry and wanna eat something.

were designed to be what, violent?

I dont think the direction that statement is heading has any relevance to disagreeing with vegetarianism based entirely on the natural design of our teeth.

Joe Redifer · 11/09/2009, 04:33 AM

I don't think that we were "designed" at all. If we were, it sure is a shitty design! Too many lower back, knee, hip, shoulder and other problems. The designer should be fired.

OldRover · 11/09/2009, 08:02 AM

When a human becomes weak or injured, it is supposed to become food for stronger creatures. However, our intelligence and technology has allowed us to largely avoid such a fate.

No hate, just truth; after all, she does look awfully young and she is wearing quite a bit of makeup. The real question though: is she a picky eater, or will she put just about anything in her mouth?

when you've got pink hair going on, theres no such thing as too much makeup, lol. ;)

Quote from: Zeon on 11/01/2009, 10:59 AMHot spicy shit is bad times. Spicy is good when it gives some sort of flavor. If something is so spiced up all you taste is burning, and no other flavors, just burning, something is not right. Maybe I am missing something, but if I wanted that effect why not just eat fire? That's what extremely hot crap tastes like, textured burning. It's almost like some sort of pissing contest to show off your manliness, and nothing more. I can eat it just fine, but what's the point? There are far better ways to show how "manly" you are, and speak volumes louder than having your mouth on fire for a few minutes. Stuff like punching through brick walls, or being Segata Sanshiro. Sometimes it gets so hot that it tastes bitter.

A quick word on hot sauces. There are a TON of different ones. And hotter doesn't necessarily mean bitter or sour. That's just a style of hot sauce. I prefer tobasco on once-over-lite fried eggs. That hot sauce mixed with the runny yoke is nom-nom-nom delicious. But I don't really use tobasco for much else. I have a whole array of different kind of hot sauces. Some for making soup, some for tacos, some for burritos, etc. Some have a lot of spice and hotness, some have little taste and a lot of hotness. It depends on what I want it on. I don't want that spice taste on some foods and other foods I do. I do like to mix in spicy/hot sauce with new bottles of spicy v8 - cause they aren't spicy enough or hot enough. And peppers too. Love fresh pickled jalapeños that still have a crunch and plenty of seeds. Habanero, serrano, roasted chiles. Hmmmm.

I can pretty much eat any type of food, but that doesn't mean I don't like quality/good food. The few things I don't like are; bell peppers (don't like the taste), cream of spinach, and too much yogurt. I like yogurt, but eating too much makes me gag for some reason. So I only eat small amounts of it at a time. Also not a big fan of BBQ sauce. It's ok, but usually cook my pork ribs with just onion/garlic-salt seasoning.

I never had a problem with seafood. I don't care too much for fish, unless it's prepared certain ways. Sushi being one of them. I love sushi (raw fish). And I love any type of shell fish (clams and red sauce spaghetti, shrimp and alfredo, butter and garlic scallops, deep fried mini octopus, etc).

I'm not afraid to try new food either. I like eating chicken/turkey hearts/gizzards and similar (I usually save the liver for making gravy - cause it's a bit to dry to eat).

Arkhan Asylum · 11/23/2009, 11:39 PM

my biggest problem with spicy foods is when they make it freakishly hot on purpose and all it does is makes you unable to taste anything except pain.

when the food just has a nice kick to it though its good stuff.

its like on Man. Vs. Food when he eats wings so hot he cries and chokes and probably shits out an a-bomb afterwards. lol

Well. There's a reason. Yes, some like to brag or whatever. But people like me that love the hotness part of the hot sauce too, you develop a resistance to it. I like that bite/burning feeling that goes along with the sauce. And eating it most of my life, I've grown a tolerance to it. Yes, there' still hot sauce out there that'll make me tear up. I don't order the hottest hot wings either, because there is a point where it's not enjoyable anymore (at least for hot wings, tacos and such food I like pretty hot). I usually just order whatever is considered "hot" for the wings and enjoy the flavor more. But certain types of foods, like carne asada tacos on uncooked corn tortilla with shredded cabbage, firm squeeze of lime, guacamole, and fresh pico de gallo.... needs to be accompanied with some really-hot/little-spice good sauce

Nom nom nom nom

For wings? No. I don't like the taste of the hotter sauce they use normally for places like that. It doesn't *need* to burn a whole in my mouth for me to enjoy some wings, but I do like at least some kick to them. There was this place called "Eddies" or however he spelt it. He had these super hot wings called "Barn Burners"... I guess because they're so hot they'd burn down a barn? Not sure on his logic. Anyway, they were really freaking hot - but the sauce was also pretty delicious, unlike say.. hooters "nuclear" or whatever hottest flavor.

Also, when you eat hot wings - you tend to eat quite a handful of them. When you eat something like a carne asada taco, you only tend to eat 2-3 of them. That might be *also* why I tend not to eat the hottest wings I can find.

Arkhan Asylum · 11/24/2009, 02:00 PM

this place quaker steak and lube has these wings where you have to sign a form to eat them. I tried them and it tastes like nothing. It just feels like you've stuck your tongue in a bug zapper. the aftertaste was like you just got done licking some brand new car tires. Total garbage.

rag-time4 · 12/05/2009, 07:20 PM

I have a pretty strict diet due to my religious beliefs, but when it comes to taste, I've always been a picky eater. Nowadays I'll try most anything that's allowed for me, but having religion as an excuse does occasionally save me some grief.

I tried to be open minded when I was meeting my wife's family in the Philippines. Their cuisine is extremely colorful in terms of flavors - it was very interesting. Some things I wouldn't try, like balut (an egg with a partially developed bird inside), and due to her family's religion they do not eat blood (also forbidden in Islam). I tried all the vegetarian dishes they shared with me, as well as some of their fruits.

There was one dish that stood out to me was ampalaya which is a dish of bitter gourd and scrambled egg, with some tomato and sauce. It was so bitter that it tasted like vomit. It's supposedly very healthy and can help against diabetes and with digestion in general. At some point I want to share this dish with my friends and see how they react!!

I suppose it is an acquired taste

.

Many years ago, I tried a "pickled plum drink" at a Vietnamese restaurant. As I drank, the intense (crazy) taste of the pickled plum at the bottom of the glass became more and more pungent.

I wasn't able to really appreciate the unadulterated, 100% pure pickled plum taste until I had the drink at least 5-6 times. I asked if I was supposed to eat the plum at the end and was told, "Some people really like it."

I think this pickled plum is like a pickled ume (Umeboshi), but I never bothered to ask.

Maybe I will next time.

Yes. Endorpine rush. At the Lao-Thai restaurant I order 5 out of 4 stars. It's not just to be "hardcore" either. Spice is an addictive thing (Flashes to DUNE)

I enjoy super-spicy food. Taste is important too, though. Someone who just uses raw habanero for effect is missing out. Wings that taste like "nothing" always suck.

Arkhan Asylum · 12/08/2009, 07:26 AM

if the wings are spicy as fuckboob but taste very good still, I willeat them, but if they taste like pain and if i closed my eyes I couldnt tell I was eating chicken wings, i wouldnt touch em.

that shit burns on the way out the ol' poop chute so id rather have it happen from a worthy meal instead of painful garbage.
