What food will DUers start flame wars over next?

[sasquatch]

[philosophie_en_rose]

1. FONDUE!!!!

Only freeperish dumb asses don't like cheese better than chocolate.

:rofl:

[sasquatch]

6. I LOVE cheese, but I've never had Fondue

[Rabrrrrrr]

9. Fondue? I bet you don't even make it correctly by rubbing garlic inside

the fondue pot first. Though as you say, cheese is way better than chocolate in fondues. In fact, chocolate shouldn't even be allowed to be followed by the word fondue.

Fondue war stars: NOW!!

[FourStarDemocrat]

32. Fondue is for the French only, not for Americans...stay away.

:evilgrin:

[Left Is Write]

2. Eel.

[sasquatch]

8. I actually prefer Octupus!

:P

[Radical Activist]

34. I heard it tastes like chicken. n/t

[jmowreader]

53. In that case, I'll stick with chicken

Half the price and doesn't stink up the kitchen when you cook it.

[CatWoman]

3. STEAK, DAMMIT!!!!!

Anyone who eats it well done is a Nazi!!!!

[sasquatch]

5. RIGHT ON SISTER!!!

:patriot:

[Cha]

4. PIZZA!

Who makes a better one? New York or California? Or points in between?

:P

[BearClaws]

7. Mad Moooooooooooo!!

Total Joke!

[48pan]

51. Not sure of that but I am sure...

That Northern New England Greek pizza sucks.

[AngryAmish]

10. Barbecue

Even the name can cause flame wars. BBQ, etc.

Try to get into it over Memphis, North Carolina, Kansas City or (shudder) Texas. One can even find folks willing to argue Chicago BBQ is the best (they are wrong and I live here).

I have seen people almost come to blows over the best barbeque or the best sauces. Or the virtue of boiling ribs.

[Rabrrrrrr]

12. With a C? What are you, some kind of rube? It's barbeque.

With a Q! Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q

[AngryAmish]

15. heh

see what I mean?

[tyedyeto]

21. You deserved it

spelling it with a 'c'. Let the flames begin..........I'd like BBQ steak medium rare, please.

[Rabrrrrrr]

23. You can't BBQ a steak! Nor can you barbeque it. Steaks are grilled,

never barbequed.

[AngryAmish]

25. That is "Steaks are never barbecued" mister

[tyedyeto]

26. Even if I soak it with BBQ sauce?

Yummmmmmm.

[Rabrrrrrr]

27. Why ruin a good steak?

[tyedyeto]

29. I don't even have a good answer for that...

personally I never sauce my steak.

[sasquatch]

14. Chicago has some of the best ethnic resteraunts in the midwest though

[AngryAmish]

17. ahem, it is best ethnic restuarants in the country

Mexican food in Manhatten is not very good by and large. By and large the food in Chicago is better than LA. NYC obviously has numerous amazing places to eat, but I think Chicago holds its own very well.

[FourStarDemocrat]

11. Candy apples.

Stick to your teeth and rot them out like hell, or good old-fashioned American treats?

[sasquatch]

16. Red apples or green granny Smith apples

LONG LIVE GRANNY SMITH APPLES!!!

[FourStarDemocrat]

19. Never! It's Golden Delicious!

Now flame away...

B-)

[sasquatch]

20. You fascist bastard

TASTE THE FLAMES OF JUSTICE!!

YEEHAW!!

:evilgrin:

[FourStarDemocrat]

31. It's people like you who are responsible for the hell of green and red

apples! Green and red, red and green,Green and red, red and green,Green and red, red and green,green and red, red and green all over the store shelves!!-- The taste and beauty of Golden Delicious are ignored by you crass individuals who choose to divorce themselves from reality and want only a limited experience. You're just pathetic. I feel very sorry for you.



}(

[sasquatch]

35. Golden apples are half ass granny Smiths

:evilgrin:

[ronnykmarshall]

40. More like the flaming NOSTRILS of justice!

[XemaSab]

54. Are you aware of where

Golden Delicious apples come from?

Do you know the tale of the Golden Delicious?!?!?!

It was the apple that was meant to be!

God interfered on the apple's behalf!!!!

True story.... "Botany of Desire" has all the details....

[AntiCoup2K4]

37. Damn right it's Granny Smith Apples!

Even the Beatles said so...

[El Fuego]

13. FOOD FIGHT!!!!!!!

[flvegan]

18. You could probably get something going with veal or fois gras, but that's

from personal experience.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

22. Were there actual FLAMES here over chicken? I mean, not good natured?

I'm a Popeye's kinda guy myself...

[sasquatch]

24. That's my favorite fast food chicken place

:9
I guess so if Skinner got involved.

[Robeson]

28. Just say Tofu...and sit back to watch the meat lobby come out in droves...

[WhollyHeretic]

41. Many people seem to be personally offended by tofu for some reason

[Zuni]

30. I'll start a flame war for a gyro any day

:P

[sasquatch]

33. I would probably personally fight someone for a good Gyro

:9

[RPM]

36. Veal - btw, is it safe to mention chicken yet?

Veal, definitely veal: tasty and loaded with political issues.

[sasquatch]

43. I think so, I talked about Popeye's earlier and nobody seemed to care

[RPM]

45. damn you!!!

now i am craving fried chicken!!!!

You mustn't use the P-Word (Popeyes).

Now I must alert on you....


j/k :D

[Phentex]

38. I figure sausage has a good chance.

It was tossed around anyway.

[ronnykmarshall]

39. Split pea soup

and it's historical reference to Hollywood.

And here's me and gal that made it all famous!

[merh]

42. Please no cheeses.

Rev. Cheesehead is too loyal a DUer!

:hug: No cheeses, please!

We must protect Rev. Cheeshead! :hug:

[6000eliot]

44. And why are the grains not represented?

:mad:

[rucky]

46. buffalo wings

how hot? sweet? boneless? must be from Buffalo?

[sasquatch]

47. I like'em so hot I sweat when I eat'em

:9

[auntAgonist]

48. anchovies.

they are wunderbar!

I love em.

deeeeeeeeeeelishus

salty too!

[sasquatch]

49. I sort of like anchovies, but it gets too salty after the first two though

:(

[Neshanic]

50. Chocolate

[shockra]

52. Yes, chocolate would be a good one.

Is There Slavery In Your Chocolate?

John Robbins

<snip>

Hershey Foods Corp., the nation's largest chocolate-maker, says it is "shocked" and "deeply concerned" that its products, such as Hershey's Kisses, Nuggets, Hershey chocolate bars and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, may be made with cocoa produced by child slaves. The company, which has a long history of involvement with children, says it is deeply embarrassed by revelations of indirect involvement with child slavery. (Hershey Foods, which has a market capitalization on Wall Street of $8.4 billion, is affiliated with a school for orphaned and disadvantaged children, established in 1909 by company founder Milton S. Hershey and his wife Catherine.)

M&M Mars and Hershey Foods Corp. are not alone. Other companies whose chocolate is almost certainly tainted with child slavery include: ADM Cocoa, Ben & Jerry's, Cadbury Ltd., Chocolates by Bernard Callebaut, Fowler's Chocolate, Godiva, Guittard Chocolate Company, Kraft, Nestle, See's Candies, The Chocolate Vault, and Toblerone. While most of these companies have issued condemnations of slavery, and expressed a great deal of moral outrage that it exists in the industry, they each have acknowledged that they use Ivory Coast cocoa and so have no grounds to ensure consumers that their products are slavery-free.

Companies like Mars, Hershey, and Nestle often say that there is no way they can control the labor practices of their suppliers. But there are other chocolate companies who manage to do so, and it would seem that if the bigger companies really wanted to reform problems in the supply chain, they have the power and ability to do so.

There are in fact many chocolate companies who only use cocoa that has definitively not been produced with slave labor. These companies include Clif Bar, Cloud Nine, Dagoba Organic Chocolate, Denman Island Chocolate, Gardners Candies, Green and Black's, Kailua Candy Company, Koppers Chocolate, L.A. Burdick Chocolates, Montezuma's Chocolates, Newman's Own Organics, Omanhene Cocoa Bean Company, Rapunzel Pure Organics, and The Endangered Species Chocolate Company.

Also, organic chocolate is almost sure to be slave-free since no imports of organic cocoa come from the Ivory Coast right now. I bought some organic chocolate chips last week (because they were half price). Not a huge difference from regular chocolate but they were smoother and more melty in your mouth, richer flavor.
