I don't have a particular go-to. But it's sweets.

That's why I'm having a hard time coming up with something; I'm a salty guy, not into sweets that much. I like chocolates and ice cream and pies, but I don't crave them. I'll snack on chips and nuts and cereal all night, but my worst eating habits are dealing with meals rather than snacks.

I'm a salty guy

We've long known you're salty! /rimshot

SALTY: (of language or humor) down-to-earth; coarse.

That aside: My wife likes a mix of sweet and salty, like chocolate covered pretzels

No one would believe I could grow a beard that long and straight.

We would figure that part was photoshopped.

Haven't they suffered enough?

Isn't that about as useful as paper towels?

More Spam is consumed per person in Hawaii than in any other state. It’s stacked on a block of rice and wrapped in seaweed to make Spam musubi, and sold at fast-food chains like McDonald’s in Hawaii. There’s even an annual Waikiki Spam Jam festival.

So I think I managed to make it to this advanced stage in life without having tried Pad Thai till last night.
How in the hell have I never tried this amazing dish till now?

How’d you manage to go all that time without trying Pad Thai??

It's commonly eaten while watching The Sopranos.

"Pad thai is a stir-fried rice noodle dish commonly served as a street food in Thailand. It is typically made with rice noodles, shrimp, peanuts, a scrambled egg, and bean sprouts. The ingredients are fried in a wok."


Put in another way, it's the closest thing to a standard Chinese-American dish that's branded as "Thai food".

Never eaten Pad Thai (doesn't look appetizing to me either)
Never watched Sopranos
Don't want to hear Don't Stop Believing

Three strikes, I'm out!

I never watched the Sooranos but have watched the last 15 minutes on youtube once I heard about all the calls to the cable companies complaining on loss of service.

There are so many other yummy things on the menu at the Thai restaurants we go to that I’ve just never managed to try it. Maybe because of the bean sprouts.

I hadn’t noticed. I did notice them order it on Friends recently though.

Either way, it’s pretty yum.
