Controversial Food Opinions - The Béchamel Test

Or unless it's brisket or something like that that needs to be dripping off the bone. I need to go find some brisket now.

re. meat that is not controversial I think?

I hate undercooked rice, the crunchy core disgusts me

All of rice is disgusting. There is no saving it. Although I do like rice pudding. I used to eat uncooked oatmeal as a kid with just a little milk.

German, American and Asian types of link sausages are generally disgusting as well.

dang I love lap xuong but I'm the only one in my family who does
I don't know what american link sausages are, as opposed to like hot dogs?

American link sausages are likely bastardized versions of italian, polish, german etc. And then those weird sausages that they put in a spiral with skewers keeping them together so you can put it on the grill? I think there is a word for those?

There is definitely an emoji for those

ok I don't know those, maybe it's an east coast thing? the sausage I got in the dumb midwest was generally as on par with what I get in central Europe. (I don't think French sausage types really exist in the usa, just maybe louisiana versions which are quite their own thing)

Oh they are called sausage rings. blech.

Scottish Lorne sausage ftw

I used to buy frozen lorne sausage as it was easily the cheapest meat available at asda circa 1998

Is that spam

looks delicious!

I would eat that.

And then those weird sausages that they put in a spiral with skewers keeping them together so you can put it on the grill? I think there is a word for those?

I think these are basically Italian? I mean the quality depends on the meatcutter or company that made them but generally I think the spiral form is an Italian thing.

Italian sausage is my least favorite sausage by a wide margin.

the cold cuts are much better

but love a good sausage and peppers with grilled polenta cake

Italian sausage and kielbasa are in a fite for the worst. And those weird smoked beef U shaped things sold in supermarkets.

dumb midwest

<3 euler

Those Dominic's Italian Sausage trucks... *shudder*.

We should do a sausage poll

please bro u just looking for another opportunity to dick-wave like u've been doing all over this board for the past few weeks

Wow dude if my bulge swings wildly bc of its size it doesnt mean i deserve such hostility

Plus I genuinely love sausages and have opinions about them

I like kielbasa! It's smoked.

I especially hate the fresh kielbasa. The smoked is slightly better.

oh, I just remembered that you are from michigan. Of course you like kielbasa.

Pity your big old dick can’t help your inferiority complex ey.

Andouille is my jam

And chorizo of course

Lotsa overly salty sausages itt btw

Tell you what - I've never been to the USA, but I spent most of my adulthood in China, and very familiar with the few overpriced western grocery stores in major cities which only had US stuff, a little Australian, maybe a few French things, never anything from the UK. The sausages and bacon were always pre-cooked. Literally was unable to buy raw bacon or sausages at all. Is this a refrigeration / transport issue or are these things generally pre-cooked?

precooked bacon is available but it is a comedy product aimed at miserable people. precooked microwavable frozen breakfast sausage is probably somewhat more popular. Hot dogs are fully cooked. Otherwise, no.

Yeah i mean there are a lot of butcher shops in america

I feel like the hipsterization of america has brought back the butcher as a cool dude

Oddly enough I am a fan of precooked bacon (esp the trader joe's one). I am super lazy about making food in the morning and like breakfast burritos with hot sauce (and bacon when feeling decadent). Cooking bacon is way too annoying, especially in a house full of vegans/vegetarians.

For lunch today I am having cheetos, a 7 layer italian cookie, ice coffee, and a churro flavored protein powder. I need to get the f out of ny.

nem nuong is good sausage

I never really liked kielbasa but there's a not dissimilar French sausage called saucisse de Montbéliard and it is really really fantastic when cooked in red wine all day, and I wonder if the same would work with kielbasa.

because I live in a heavily muslim quartier I can't really get good sausage close by (i.e. within half a kilometer) so we uh had hot dogs for dinner tonight. no they are not in any way better than american hot dogs, but they are just fine nonetheless.

here's a Controversial Food Opinion: Pringles are the best mass-market potato chips

I agree. I am not a huge fan of potato chips, but I like pringles (and those pickle flavored or balsamic flavored ones).

At a school I was working at this year they had switched to beef sausages because they had some Muslim students, and they were a vast improvement from the cheap bangers they had before, if a bit too salty.

yeah I can get some Turkish beef sausages but they're not widely popular here. I should say that merguez are easily available in my quartier & we eat them not infrequently but they're more spiced and thus more limited in application.

Jesus i mean I’m all for options

God have mercy on me the day I can’t have my pork

Square sausage, or lorne beef sausage, is one of the only things I get homesick for, with a nice floury bap and liberal brown sauce.

oh, I just remembered that you are from michigan. Of course you like kielbasa.

Girl I grew up with Dutch and Swedish ppl, their food is gross. I had kielbasa for the first time in Jersey City!

pringles are vile you weirdos

Australia, for all its British, Irish and Italian heritage really can’t do sausages well. Beef sausages are the staple and not good, bacon, is very much lacking and the Italian sausages seem somewhat dry. Maybe Australian pigs aren’t fat enough.

Best way to test that is to make your own sausages imo
