The Flame-Free Confession Thread II

I thought the fat guy demonstrating it’s use was something I could never unsee.

Truth! There used to this place on Long Island… OMG! Still top of the list for all time best sandwich!
I won’t even buy bagels in a store because it makes me sad. :sob:

I confess that i actually like their ravioli in a can, but since leaving the UK 14 years ago have not eaten it.

I have done KISS a bunch of times.

they are coming to my work place in August.
Their old Kiss sign was a beast.
I did a solid 8 hour day re-lamping those bulbs!

Erm, pass. I’ve never heard of it. We have rice pudding which uses special rice, sweetened and then gets cooked down until it’s like a really overcooked risotto. I assume it’s like that but with pasta.

Bagels are pretty good, I’d have gone for cinamon and raisin personally, but the plain are also pretty good. Bagels are definitely American though.

Baked beans are also American I think, although they’re pretty much a staple of British Cuisine now. In Britain they’re haricot beans baked in a sweet, slightly tomatoey sauce, like a really watered down ketchup. They’re fine. I don’t think many people get excited about beans, but they take the place of actual vegetables in a lot of meals.

I got way too excited thinking one of my posts received a ton of likes. Sadly it was system changes…

I’ve found myself getting happy whenever I got likes too on the various forums that I participate in.

God, life must suck horribly bad for teenagers now.

The UK eats more baked beans than the rest of the world combined.

I don’t know about them being American, because I see a lot of Yanks seemingly aghast when they see beans on toast is a thing.

Baked beans on fried bread. Especially when it’s deep fried bread, and you get a crust and bite into it and the oil squeezes out like water from a sponge.

Same for pretty much all of us I guess. So, here, get a like from me!

It’s been two weeks that I say I’m going back on cutting but I still eat all the food

Egg and beans on toast? With a side of bacon? The stuff of dreams.

I always figured they were American purely because I used to see them occasionally in old school western and American books like of mice and men. I could be wrong.

I feel like at this point you might as well throw some sausages and pudding into the mix and just have a full breakfast.

Baked beans are majestic. A staple part of a fry up. Or just throw them on toast and grate some Cathedral City over them. Or cover your toad-in-the-hole with them. Marvellous.

Don’t feel bad unless your over a certain age and from the U.S. You probably would not get the joke.

I’m from the US and I still don’t get 90% of pop culture references.

I know all about Soviet political jokes though

I prefer a poppyseed bagel with cream cheese, and Fairway smoked salmon that they slice in front of you, on top of the cream cheese.

And besides the pizza, which may not impress an Italian (though it’s like a completely different food in NY), the most overlooked part of NY (specifically Long Island) cuisine is the motherfuckin baconeggandcheese sandwich on a Kaiser roll.
