Chick-fil-a is literally the most overrated restaurant ever in my opinion. I have been multiple times and never been impressed, and I have nothing wrong with chicken, fries, etc. Everyone acts like it's the best place ever and it's really just… not. I've tried the waffle fries and they were lukewarm and nothing special, and the chicken sandwiches have all just been bleh.

Edit: for everyone saying “What are you comparing it to?” Popeyes is way better

The original post is this disgusting-looking /r/food post: [i ate] a deluxe Italian sandwich:

Someone points out that this has nothing to do with Italy:

Wikipedia doesn't say to use 5kg or random mixed meat and 5 grams of veggies. Wrong proportion and wrong ingredients. It doesn't make sense to do it like this.

But I guess it's the “American way”. ==> American sandwich

They get downvoted to -221 and crossposted to /r/iamveryculinary: Italian learns what an "Italian" sandwich is and immediately becomes the authority on why OP is making it wrong

Let's see what angry Redditors have to say:

Eep pray this guy never learns about French toast.

I don't understand this, French toast is something that they actually eat in France.

I just imagine some dude sitting on the potty angrily commenting on a small picture of a sandwich on his phone.

Just like you sitting on the potty angrily commenting on a comment on a small picture of a sandwich on his phone.

Why is immigration and ancestry such a difficult concept for some people to understand?

Peepeeheads pretending to be Italians and the 'No true Scotsman' fallacy, name a more iconic duo

You mean like someone who calls it an Italian sandwich?

@KONGLAND for once I'm begging you to see the light.

!goyslopenjoyers run, don't walk to maccas for the Surf & Turf burger. The west may have fallen but goyslop is healing. The days of "healthy" offerings are hopefully behind us, and no longer will we be sold grilled chicken wraps and other hippy garbage.

This burg is peak slop, pinnacle of American innovation. TWO beef patties on a classic bun sandwiching a fish filet, pickle and cheese.

The placement of the patties both above and below the fish was a brilliant move (my burg differed from the one pictured). The pickles add a much needed tang to the fish, which is in itself delectable. Finished off with a garnish of ketchup and mustard, who could possibly ask for more? It's the first time in ages a maccas burg left grease on my fingers. 11/10

Takoyaki

Tastes amazing. Just love going down my local Chinese owned, Korean employee sushi joint and getting some takoyaki skewers.

The menu would be focused on the hits.

• Breakfast 24/7 -- BK French Toast and McD pancakes + hashbrown. Don't know which one you feel like? That means you want both.

• Arby's crinkle fries

• Arby's curly fries

(these are the only fries)

• Arby's Roast Beef sandwiches

• Burger King Whoppers

• McDonald's Nuggets

• McDonald's Cones

• Wendy's Frosties (chocolate only)

• Taco Bell tacos

• Taco Bell burrito supreme

• Pizza Hut personal pans

If the franchising fees didn't kill you, you'd make a million dollars a day.

I need ideas / recipes for easy to make kazakhstan food.

I have to make a bunch of Kazakhi food for reasons so I need easy recipes without much substitution. Like substituting cow for lamb is acceptable.

Currently I'm thinking of making Boortsog and Samsa.

I was thinking of maybe Shashlik since it's basically a kebab and easy

A lot of fast food slop gets me pooping a couple hours later.

Plus how do you finish a plate/meal packed with so many carbs?

I end up feeling sick during the meal as well.

Are burgers just built different that you have iron slop stomachs?

Teach me your fat ways.

The review is a bit weird for modern standards, it never tells the readers if pizza is tasty.

Made this for lunch just now. I've tried getting the beef right for these darn things a bunch of different ways. Internet people have all sorts of ways they've tried to get it just like the restaurants, but the only one I've seen that looked like it would realistically work was this massive bearded greek dude shoving like 5 pounds of lamb shoulder onto two spits and throwing it on a charcoal grill. I'm just trying to make lunch here, though. I've tried to make a mini spit using the rotisserie attachment in my toaster oven, and that looked and smelled great, but the meat completely dried out and was nasty inside.

Other internet ideas were like to use ground meat and form a really tight meatloaf and bake it in the oven, then you can cut thin slices off it that look a lot like the gyro places, but it's lacking the super brown crispy outside you want.

This time I bought some really thin ribeye steaks (like less than 1/2") that people usually use to make carne asada. I figured with how thin they were I'd want the pan to be really fricking hot, so I did a test run with one of them with the heat cranked all the way up on my stove and a cast iron skillet. Darn near lit my kitchen on fire, like the oil in the pan actually just made a poof noise and burst into flames. The steak didn't get burned though, even with me moving it around in the pan to smother the fire. The steak was a perfect medium rare cooking it just one minute a side. Problem, though: medium rare steak is too chewy for sandwich or sandwich-adjacent preparations.

Finally, I marinated the rest of the steaks and cooked them with slightly less heat (although still enough that the pan was smoking up my kitchen) for 2 minutes a side. They're pretty well done, but perfect for a gyro because you can bite through the pieces so easily. Then I put this together and smashed the whole thing into my face. The end.

I have a confession to make. I watch cooking youtubers. I'm sorry, I understand if you block me after having admitted that. I made the thing from this video:

I like Sam the Cooking Guy. He's funny. He posts almost every day because he's a sperg (also because I believe he's the #1 cooking youtube guy right now). You have to take his reactions with a grain of salt. He will make a salisbury steak or something and act like he's jizzing in his pants on camera because it's so good. It probably isn't really that good. This recipe is pretty good, though.

I did everything as described in his recipe link, except for two things. I followed the directions for my rice cooker instead of whatever he said, and I omitted his sauce, because it seemed unnecessary. There were already green onions, garlic, and ginger in the rice. I didn't see a good reason to put a sauce made out of mostly just those same 3 ingredients on top. I just squirted this (awesome) crap all over it instead:

This was a good recipe. It was extremely low effort, and it was very good. I barely spent any time in the kitchen at all. Highly recommended.

PS: sorry about the weird blur, I guess Samsung was feeling artsy today.

My aunt gave me some leftover food from Easter and I wanted to share some of the finest Polish cuisine with people from around the world, and no better place to do this than this cosmopolitan platform.

So, here is traditional Polish Easter cake the Mazurek:

I'm pretty sure it is Mazurek with almonds, rains and... stuff.

Of course that's just the dessert. I also got traditional jars of meat:

It is indeed real meat. I emptied one of the jars into a bowl so you can take a better look:

It's not yet heated up so forgive the floating clumps of fat, but you can tell its fine meat indeed.

I also had a cheesecake, but sadly no pictures, I ate it already because it actually looked edible.

Well, that's it. It may not be much, but I'm sure those pictures say a thousand words each. I do hope I didn't make any of you too hungry.

Anyway, I'm off to eat some of these delicious specialities, it's not everyday I get to dine on such fine food. I sure love getting unidentified leftovers.
