I’m not sure olives should ever be paired with any cheese except feta (or its derivatives). I’m also not sure they should be near any sausages that aren’t of Italian or other Mediterranean provenance either.

Mustard also seems risky but might work with the right one.

If you absolutely must try it, perhaps an Italian sausage, olive tapenade, and some bell peppers and onions could possibly work.

I mean, that’s the best part about food crimes, that the ones who commit them are generally also the first to pay the price for them.

Unless there’s unwilling participants involved in the experiment of course, but I’m guessing those don’t end up having photographic evidence posted on the Internet.

MacNCheezus OP ,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

I agree that the main issue here is the olives. The rest can certainly be made work with the right ingredients.

Just substitute jalapeños instead and we can still be friends.

MacNCheezus OP ,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

I mean, pretty much everyone is guilty of those at one point or another, myself included.

The way I see it, the whole point of this group is to joke about the silly mistakes of others in order to make ourselves feel better about our own.

MacNCheezus OP ,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

Sure, but like I said, it’s usually some sort of Mediterranean fresh milk cheese like feta, not processed slop like this stuff.

In fact, I think fresh Mexican queso would probably work just fine. Still not sure about that hot dog however.

I don't eat nachos all that often so it's been a long time but I got a feeling you might be right.

Green ones, though? Whole? IDK

MacNCheezus OP ,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

No doubt about that.

More like Stroga-NO amirite?

Real Stroganoff has sauce (and mushrooms, too).

MacNCheezus OP ,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

The meat actually looks fairly decent and the pasta is not overcooked, so it doesn't appear to be a skills issue. Maybe they ran out of cream?

MacNCheezus OP ,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

Literally just needs sour cream and maybe some mushrooms (cooked into sauce, obviously) and it would be passable Stroganoff.

MacNCheezus OP ,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

Literally could have just dumped a tub of sour cream and some spices into the pan with the meat and onion juices and made an acceptable sauce in less than five minutes. This screams either laziness or empty fridge to me.

MacNCheezus OP ,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

Crème fraîche IS a type of sour cream (basically the fancier European version). It's just slightly sweeter and has a higher fat content than the regular stuff.

But with as many upgrades as this recipe makes over the classic, it's almost surprising he didn't substitute this one as well.

MacNCheezus OP ,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

What part of the OP was unclear to you? It's dessert (or breakfast?) pizza with Froot Loops on it.

Not really sure what type of sauce or crust, but unlike the last one I posted, at least this one looks like a lighter, fluffier dough, not regular heavy duty dinner crust.

MacNCheezus OP ,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

According to this, it's sweet cream cheese sauce, mozzarella and a drizzle of Greek yogurt and condensed milk. Could not find any details about the crust but I only skimmed the rest.

MacNCheezus OP ,

As mentioned here, apparently it's sweet cream cheese sauce, mozzarella and a drizzle of Greek yogurt and condensed milk.

MacNCheezus OP ,

And mine was an ill-fated attempt at humor based on deliberately misinterpreting what you said.

MacNCheezus OP ,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

That actually does sound fairly appetizing. Top it off with some ice cream and I might be onboard.

MacNCheezus OP ,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

At that point you might as well just order pie.

MacNCheezus OP ,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

Excellent movie. Hugely enjoyed all three of them as a kid even though I didn't even understand half of the jokes and most of the references made. Should probably watch them again some time to find out what I missed.

In a fucking plastic tub

MacNCheezus OP ,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

Did it? Don't quite remember that quote. Must have been that scene right after they fish him out of the gutter and have breakfast on the Nebuchadnezzar.

MacNCheezus OP ,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

More like slop, but yes, probably. Looks like a sad version of chicken soup if you ask me.

MacNCheezus OP ,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

My guess would be shredded chicken, which would explain those white fibers everywhere. I certainly can’t see anything remotely resembling dumplings, however.

MacNCheezus OP ,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

As other commenters said, it could also be gruel.

MacNCheezus OP ,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

Would you like to leave a tip?

MacNCheezus OP ,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

There were a bunch more pictures where I got this from, apparently all from the same facility. They all use the exact same tray, no matter what’s being served.

Since this got a lot of upvotes I’ll probably share the others over the next few days. They’re not all quite as awful as this one (it’s by far the worst) but they’re not exactly great either.

MacNCheezus OP ,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

I mean it’s prison. You’re not supposed to like it there.

MacNCheezus OP ,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

They house you, they feed you, they give you medial care — all for free. Generally also access to counseling and educational resources.

It would be dehumanizing if there’s feces on the floor and cockroaches in the food but that doesn’t appear to be the case. I’ve seen many people in “freedom” live in more squalid conditions than this.

MacNCheezus OP ,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

It definitely looks bland AF but certainly edible.

MacNCheezus OP ,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

No idea. Never been, and not planning on it either, but I guess nobody really does.

MacNCheezus OP , (edited )
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

Having to eat bland chicken soup from a tray isn't cruel and usual. There's probably plenty of people out there in the wild who aren't eating much better (or anything at all) tonight.

MacNCheezus OP ,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

Well, who are you gonna dress to impress in there anyways? Might as well be comfortable.

MacNCheezus OP ,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

The average American in the wild is already fat and lethargic enough, probably doesn’t hurt to keep them on a bit of a leaner diet.

MacNCheezus OP ,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

As I said in another comment ITT, I found some more pictures, likely from the same facility, and this is by far the worst of them.

I’ll post them in the upcoming days. None of them are anywhere near gourmet quality obviously, but they do at least look edible to me.

But again, you’re not there to enjoy yourself after all. Many of these people did something cruel and usual to their fellow citizens in order to end up there, and some of them might in fact deserve far worse a fate than eating bland and unappetizing food.

MacNCheezus OP ,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

Yeah no, Nebuchadnezzar is definitely the name of the ship.

MacNCheezus OP ,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

That may or may not be the case, but there seems to be no point in continuing this discussion here as all of my comments appear to be getting deleted by a mod anyways.

But yes, I’m sure there’s plenty of people in there who don’t deserve, just as I’m sure that there’s plenty of people on the outside who should be in prison in their stead. And yes, the food does look rather pitiful, but that alone doesn’t look like a human rights violation to me as it seems edible in a pinch.

MacNCheezus OP ,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

I think elbow macaroni are just lowercase bucatini

MacNCheezus OP ,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

I’m thinking smoked sausage (kielbasa perhaps), add some Swiss cheese and a good Russian dressing instead of this sad Thousand Island from a bottle, maybe some grilled onions… yeah, I could see that fly.

MacNCheezus OP ,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

While the combo of wiener and kraut is about as German as it gets, this picture is likely from the American Midwest. Actual Germans wouldn’t be caught dead with cocktail sauce on their wieners, nor do they use tortillas as a common ingredient.

Wieners and kraut get mustard and potatoes, anything else is against the law. I’m fully convinced no true German would disagree that a food crime has in fact been committed here.

MacNCheezus OP ,

You mean captchas? Sure, that's an old hat, they've been doing that for a decade now.

This is one of those newer systems though that doesn't rely on a captcha, it's just a checkbox you have to click that says "I'm human" next to it, and it does some JavaScript magic or whatever to figure out if it's true. Not really sure how it works TBH.

I too am not an expert but I concur that this indeed appears to be a dog.
