is stilton a hard cheese? Because if not, I think the fact that pasta beat soft cheeses means pasta could seriously win the whole thing.
― Gravel Puzzleworth, Wednesday, 28 July 2010 15:54 (thirteen years ago) link
Stilton is a hard cheese imo, alongside Danish Blue, but not Roquefort or Gorgonzola?

its going to be hard for me to vote for curry because it seems like its supposed to mean some weirdo brit food that i have never had. i mean i had a buffet at everest on grand that had 6 different kinds of curry on it just yesterday and i ate a little of all of those sons of bitches, but i get the impression that this british thing is some sort of thing they squeeze out of a tube into a paper cup or something so i am not voting for that for sure

Curry isn't a wierdo Brit dish, it's a generic Britishes term that covers the majority of Anglo-Indian or Euro-Indian main dishes. In other words it is food of the gods.

okay dude seriously, there is a lot to lol at in British food but one thing that is almost unilaterally impeccable and better than what you can get in the US is Indian food

In Britain "curry" is usually shorthand for a number of Indian dishes. xp

I guess tho people voting pasta are voting for the variety of pasta-based dishes whereas I'm just thinking of plain unsauced pasta.

tho tbh bread kinda needs its own tournament if anything, marble rye v sourdough v banana bread for example would break my brain

ok maybe i can't back that up, looking at these options tbh
I made my decision assuming pasta meant all pasta-based dishes. Voted curry. Wasn't an easy decision tbh cos I love italian food.

but, i have to say, i v v nearly went for salad just cuz:
pretty shocked to find myself considering a vote for salad over pizza but I had a greens mix with gorgonzola and candied pecans the other night as an appetizer for a pizza and guess which was better the salad or the pizza here I'll relieve the suspense, it was the salad, the salad was better than the pizza, it was the salad― gross rainbow of haerosmith (underrated aerosmith albums I have loved), Wednesday, July 28, 2010 8:24 AM (3 hours ago) Bookmark

^^^this has happened enough times in my life to know that certain kinds of salads are way more reliable than pizza. like i know we have all had some ~bad salads~ (i am looking at YOU, the hospital!), but generally speaking you can look at the list of ingredients of a salad on a menu, and have a pretty decent idea of what you're getting. and then you can order any old slice of pizza and it's like who fucking knows, maybe this place has shitty pizza
tho granted the worst salad is probably not as bad as the worst pizza, and i have had pizza in england! made in a curry shop!

FWIW I figured curry wasn't just limited to the Anglo-Indian curries which are the staple of Brit diets but included other yummy dishes like Beef Panaeng, Katsu Curry, Curried Goat etc.

Bacon, Hard Cheeses, Pasta, Salad
but my heart isn't in any of it. how can i sacrifice all pastries just for bacon? and chicken such a crucial link in so many wonderful things (just broth alone). taking pasta over curry cuz i eat it more often and i can still order biryani. but jeez. leaving pizza vs. salad, utterly impossible choice. took salad only cuz i know it will lose.

salad dressing does not come from stores. = olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, lots of dijon, s&p. unbeatable. almost as good as pizza....

actually agree with this, far superior to store stuff and have to travel at least 50m less to get.

PastriesI'm going to take a controversial stance on pastries to encompass anything made with pastry - including both savoury and sweet pies! even though both were voted out by a bunch of disgusting savages. I'm going to continue to mentally put pies in extant categories right to the end. So if this thing ends up being won by soup or w/e, for me this will be "soup, including savoury pies". it's the only way to get justice. Hard Cheeses - would miss slightly more than chicken. Although at the moment I'm supposed to be keeping away from cheese to stop me from being a fattay. Actually, wait, just thinking about what fits into the hard cheese category - cheddar. cheshire. stilton. emmenthal. gouda. manchego. paneer. - cheese a clearer winner than I first thought
Curry - brit definition, no contest . Pasta just tends to get in the way of nice food, and for me its a myth that its somehow elevated in the hands of good italian chefs. the price gets elevated, definitely, they must make some fucking profit on pasta dishes, but it's always disappointingly close to something I could cook easily at home. And I'm a terrible cook.
Salad. from the garden is fresh and lovely. a good restaurant caesar salad is one of lifes joys and go-to for wanting to feel healthier after a night out. I'm not going to knock pizza, can be great, but good salad is eating pure sunshine.

My vote for 'pasta' is a vote for plain penne with pesto, feel like that's the default pasta somehow? Sauces are represented in the poll I guess.
― Gravel Puzzleworth, Wednesday, 28 July 2010 18:46 (thirteen years ago) link
ok ok, i will try yer brit curry the next time i am there sheesh
until then tho im not giving it the nod because a grouping that would be based on "stuff w/curry in it" would be all-encompassing madness
i will back hard cheeses as my personal #1 in it to win it choice (which is not going to happen)
