I Feel Like Starting An Argument

[TheLobster]

I'm going to go ahead and say that a corn-dog is a sandwich.

Is calzone a sandwich?

What I wonder about is that she may not care about the future of the site. "After me, the deluge."

It's hard to know the mind of someone who doesn't communicate at all. We can only judge by her actions, thus my comment. I don't know what her plans for the site are, and I honestly doubt she is going to tell us

Is calzone a sandwich?

If it is, so are tacos and pizza, which might in fact be the same thing.

I suggest we take this and move it to a new thread, Commas That Make Your Day.

Can someone help please?

How this - Gramerly and ProWritingAid are both AI - do we get busted for using them?

How un-AH of you

Is calzone a sandwich?

Unequivocally yes.
As such, pizza in all forms is an open-faced sandwich.

Also: lasagna and ravioli.

Pizza is a bread shovel to transfer got ingredients into your gob. I argue the pizza is just a well loaded floppy chip.

Tortillas are edible plates.

If it's floppy, it's not a chip.

That said, I do make my pizzas with firm-to-crispy crust, so I agree.

Italian: Pizza
Turkish: Pide
Middle-Eastern: Pita
Indian: Paratha

Coincidence? I think not.

Like all the variations on kofta, kefte, kifta and so on, all around the Mediterranean and into the Middle East.

You're eating your avocados over-ripe and probably dried-out American bacon. I used to think I hated avocado but it turns out I only dislike it when it's grass-green (or been frozen). Fresh chunks of nutty buttery avocado - great stuff.

'Crunchy' is not an adjective that should be applicable to bacon.

I will definitely go to bat for my crunchy American bacon. Yum.

I won't besmirch American swine but there has been a fundamental quality shift from what we grew up on.

Higher end/choice cuts/black labels, etc. are quality level of base Oscar Mayer back in the 80s.

I'm a captive (bacon) audience but I ain't gotta like developments.

I don't trust my memory on things like this but it seems to me many things were better and tastier back then. Flavors seem to be more uniform and a bit less interesting. But maybe I'm just being old and nostalgic.

I went down the rabbit hole on this one specifically. (job related) Big shifts in pork cultivation.

It accelerated decline even more when (now) affluent Chinese middle class developed a taste for it.

Not old man waving my fist at cloud here, just one of those interesting instances where the feel of something significantly changing is 100.

Not a knock but I wonder if it's taste bud decay? I wasn't particularly careful with mine growing up in the age of microwave laziness. (a few seconds extra = insane temp difference which younger peeps often power through)

Hot sauce became a huge investment about 10 years back or so when the aging boomer population hit aging tastebud decline.

Also, the salt wars are working against us. Everything is blasted to outpace the competition (and salt is a cheap flavor enhancer v. actual spice) and it overwhelms a lot of milder, nuance flavors.

80s weren't peak culinary age but food was a little more food than it is now.

This is possible: Over the years I've developed a much greater taste for very hot, spicy foods, so it's possible some things taste bland to me that didn't before. So far the taste buds seem intact, but who knows.

Unfortunately I can't think of anything contentious to say right now.

Can someone help please?
