The idea of sausage pizza and chicken tikka masala coming from the same place makes my taste buds want to flee.

I know these words* but this sentence makes no sense. I mean, I've heard of crab chips, but they don't actually taste like crab. They just have Old Bay on them. Any potato product that tastes like shellgiraffe just freaks me right the hell out.



*except "chuffing" which appears to mean "fuck*ng"

Yeah, most places with that kind of variety are shockingly bad at at least one of their chosen items, but this place is pretty good all round and particularly fine at curry. For a little takeaway, I mean. That spot has had a takeaway on it since before I was born, and it used to change hands every six months or so as each one went bust, but Aroma's been there for maybe a decade now.

I should point out that 'scampi' here generally refers to the tail meat of the shellgiraffe, deep fried in breadcrumbs. Still not what you'd call ordinary but it doesn't matter because they are awesome. They're the kind of food that, when Googled, produces lots of links to shops targeting British expatriates.

Much better than Cheese Flavoured Moments, which are rank beyond all reason.

Wait - is this like those Asian shrimp chips? I don't think they're potato, they're rice. They're sort of poofy-textured?

Assuiming "shrimp chips" means the same thing as "prawn crackers", then no, although those are awesome too. I don't think they're made with rice, though, I'm pretty sure it's just ground-up prawn bound with a bit of sago. Come to think of it, though, I think Scampi Fries are probably mostly wheat, or maize, or something.

I might just buy a packet and do some kind of photo-dissection. You wouldn't get the taste but at least we'd be a step nearer to International Understanding.

(I know derailing threads is de rigeur round here but I feel I've done an unfortunately banal number on this one.)

An analysis of prawn crackers, scampi fries, and shrimp chips, with photographs, would not strike me as banal in the least.

Call me nuts but... "water spider" doesn't strike me as an awesome flavouring at all.

Slightly terrifying, if anything.

BBQ tater chips is where it's at. The good kind that leaves salty seasoning and grease all over your paws.

Made a mid week store stop yesterday and got a small bag to split with Asherbaby on the way home yesterday.

Oh, see, his girlfriend's last name is the same as the name of a popular brand of potato chips, so I was going for that.
When I am drunk, I just want to smooch on some girls. Eating is not on my mind (but if it were, I would go to the cafeteria and get a burrito-- chopped up chicken tenders, sour cream, spicy salsa. Back at the dorm, realize I forgot the cheese, and so heat up a thing of that "Queso" salsa and pour some into the burrito.)

the first time I had that it was because I was out-of-it enough that I took someone else's order-- it would never have entered my sweet little head to order such a thing.

With Ash, I'd put my money on "A little bit of column A, a little bit of column B."

Ya know? I've drunk my fair share of whiskey, both good and bad. When it comes down to it though, I love either really good scotch, or really bad whiskey. There is a locally bottled variety here, Pikesville Supreme if you're curious, that I cannot seem to get enough of. It is cheap and "bad" yet it gets a reaction. Usually along the lines of "Oh god what did I just swallow?!" But maybe that is a good thing. In my opinion something that is terrible but elicits a reaction is infinitely better than something that is mediocre.


I'd continue this train of thought but I'm afraid the 'Supreme has made me unable.

the difference, for me, is that when it's terrible, the reaction it brings is me puking.

I am drunk and high right now and I went for Jimmie Johns vegetarian.  Really I get drunk at weird times so I eat whatever is available, but one of the things I really like is getting drunk with my neighbor and having her make some amazing vegetarian food.  Mainly cause it is free if I bring a bladder of wine, but also because she is amazing at cooking.

Also, everything bagels and cream cheese.  toasted.
