The best thing about the McRib is the pre-made grill marks, and the way it's wavy to make it look like there are actually bones in it

ALL OF YOU, SHUT UP!!!!!
Do you know what I have to do to eat a cheesesteak in this Nordic Shithole? I have to thaw & fry Viltskäv. For those of you who don't know what that is, it's basically Steak'Ums made out of anything that isn't farmed, til exempel Moose, Hart, Deer, Boar, Bear etc. Now, since this meat has little or no fat content, I have to "moisten" it up a bit. I've found a combination of olive oil & maragarine works best. Finding American, Whiz or Provolone cheese is right out, so I substitute Gouda. That's right, stinking Gouda. All this mess goes on a bake-at-home mini baguette about 4" long.
It FUCKING SUCKS!!! But it's the only way I can have one.
- no cheesesteaks
- no Mexican food
- no vitamin Y
- no wings
- pizza isn't sliced (or baked through)
No wonder these Fucking Swedes are thin, there's nothing to Fucking eat here except salmon & potatos.
The only thing I get on a regular basis is Roast Pork Sandwiches and that's only because I bought my own handcrank slicer.

I always thought that was pretty wierd as well. If there were actually bones in it, you couldn't eat it as a sandwich-- it's like a funny kind of make believe.

F_B, yes we do. They closed down a pefectly decent bar to put one in.
But they serve a "modified" menu.
For instance, they serve "breakfast" sandwiches. Not your good old Eggamuffin, bacon, egg & cheese biscuits or (God I miss them) Sausage McGriddles. No, they serve 1 slice of cheese on a piece of foccaia with cucumber & cherry tomatoes. They also serve yogurt with musli & berries.
They have the nerve to call it breakfast. Something has to die for it to be breakfast. Preferably a pig (bacon, ham, sausage) and an unborn chicken.
Hell, they don't even make fresh sausage here. I have to grind my own Country & Italian sausage (yes, I bought handcrank grinder too).

Anyone ever go to Primo Hoagies?
They use Sarcone's rolls and have a pretty interesting variety of sandwiches. If you live within 45 minutes of Philadelphia, odds are good there is one within 10 minutes of you.

There's a Primo's around 20th and Chestnut, and one near FWOT up in Plymouth Meeting.
Good sandwiches, though I wasn't feeling the cheese on their Diablos, and not because it was spicy.

GGB, there's a few things that might tempt you.
- 24 hour a day tee times in the Summer.
- 35:- ($5.75) a case for locally brewed beer.
- whiskey/scotch tasting classes at the local college.
- ski jumping.
- top-less swimming at just about every lake.
- 4 NFL games a week plus a full slate of NCAA Football.
- no guns.

That poses a challenge for ribs, but a pork chop with the bone can be made into a delicious sandwich.
On Mardi Gras Day, my krewe ate deep-fried pork chop sandwiches from the truck outside the Maple Leaf. They were dressed with lettuce, tomato, mayo, creole mustard, and a little hot sauce. I'm not the world's biggest mayo fan, but combine it with creole mustard and everything changes.
This was a great sandwich, and you eat it until you're holding nothing but a T-bone.

Sounds to me like a GOLDEN opportunity to open a bar that serves wings, cheese steaks, pizza and beer with hot chicks in skimpy outfits. It could be like what a Hooter's type is supposed to be.

Poor, poor fågelpojkel- how does your garden grow?
Poor Haitians Resort to Eating Dirt
By JONATHAN M. KATZ – Jan 29, 2008
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — It was lunchtime in one of Haiti's worst slums, and Charlene Dumas was eating mud. With food prices rising, Haiti's poorest can't afford even a daily plate of rice, and some take desperate measures to fill their bellies. Charlene, 16 with a 1-month-old son, has come to rely on a traditional Haitian remedy for hunger pangs: cookies made of dried yellow dirt from the country's central plateau.
The mud has long been prized by pregnant women and children here as an antacid and source of calcium. But in places like Cite Soleil, the oceanside slum where Charlene shares a two-room house with her baby, five siblings and two unemployed parents, cookies made of dirt, salt and vegetable shortening have become a regular meal.
"When my mother does not cook anything, I have to eat them three times a day," Charlene said. Her baby, named Woodson, lay still across her lap, looking even thinner than the slim 6 pounds 3 ounces he weighed at birth.
Though she likes their buttery, salty taste, Charlene said the cookies also give her stomach pains. "When I nurse, the baby sometimes seems colicky too," she said.
Food prices around the world have spiked because of higher oil prices, needed for fertilizer, irrigation and transportation. Prices for basic ingredients such as corn and wheat are also up sharply, and the increasing global demand for biofuels is pressuring food markets as well.
The problem is particularly dire in the Caribbean, where island nations depend on imports and food prices are up 40 percent in places.
The global price hikes, together with floods and crop damage from the 2007 hurricane season, prompted the U.N. Food and Agriculture Agency to declare states of emergency in Haiti and several other Caribbean countries. Caribbean leaders held an emergency summit in December to discuss cutting food taxes and creating large regional farms to reduce dependence on imports.
At the market in the La Saline slum, two cups of rice now sell for 60 cents, up 10 cents from December and 50 percent from a year ago. Beans, condensed milk and fruit have gone up at a similar rate, and even the price of the edible clay has risen over the past year by almost $1.50. Dirt to make 100 cookies now costs $5, the cookie makers say.
Still, at about 5 cents apiece, the cookies are a bargain compared to food staples. About 80 percent of people in Haiti live on less than $2 a day and a tiny elite controls the economy.
Merchants truck the dirt from the central town of Hinche to the La Saline market, a maze of tables of vegetables and meat swarming with flies. Women buy the dirt, then process it into mud cookies in places such as Fort Dimanche, a nearby shanty town.
Carrying buckets of dirt and water up ladders to the roof of the former prison for which the slum is named, they strain out rocks and clumps on a sheet, and stir in shortening and salt. Then they pat the mixture into mud cookies and leave them to dry under the scorching sun.
The finished cookies are carried in buckets to markets or sold on the streets.
A reporter sampling a cookie found that it had a smooth consistency and sucked all the moisture out of the mouth as soon as it touched the tongue. For hours, an unpleasant taste of dirt lingered.
Assessments of the health effects are mixed. Dirt can contain deadly parasites or toxins, but can also strengthen the immunity of fetuses in the womb to certain diseases, said Gerald N. Callahan, an immunology professor at Colorado State University who has studied geophagy, the scientific name for dirt-eating.
Haitian doctors say depending on the cookies for sustenance risks malnutrition.
"Trust me, if I see someone eating those cookies, I will discourage it," said Dr. Gabriel Thimothee, executive director of Haiti's health ministry.
Marie Noel, 40, sells the cookies in a market to provide for her seven children. Her family also eats them.
"I'm hoping one day I'll have enough food to eat, so I can stop eating these," she said. "I know it's not good for me."

They need to sprinkle a few insects on those mud pies.

Which is why the Haitians will never be the World Power the Chinese are. Bon Apetit:
BEIJING, China (AP) — Chopped cardboard, softened with an industrial chemical and flavored with fatty pork and powdered seasoning, is a main ingredient in batches of steamed buns sold in one Beijing neighborhood, state television said.
The report, aired late Wednesday on China Central Television, highlights the country’s problems with food safety despite government efforts to improve the situation.
Countless small, often illegally run operations exist across China and make money cutting corners by using inexpensive ingredients or unsavory substitutes. They are almost impossible to regulate.
State TV’s undercover investigation features the shirtless, shorts-clad maker of the buns, called baozi, explaining the contents of the product sold in Beijing’s sprawling Chaoyang district.
Baozi are a common snack in China, with an outer skin made from wheat or rice flour and a filling of sliced pork. Cooked by steaming in immense bamboo baskets, they are similar to but usually much bigger than the dumplings found on dim sum menus familiar to many Americans.
The hidden camera follows the man, whose face is not shown, into a ramshackle building where steamers are filled with the fluffy white buns, traditionally stuffed with minced pork.
The surroundings are filthy, with water puddles and piles of old furniture and cardboard on the ground.
“What’s in the recipe?” the reporter asks. “Six to four,” the man says.
“You mean 60 percent cardboard? What is the other 40 percent?” asks the reporter. “Fatty meat,” the man replies.
The bun maker and his assistants then give a demonstration on how the product is made.
Squares of cardboard picked from the ground are first soaked to a pulp in a plastic basin of caustic soda — a chemical base commonly used in manufacturing paper and soap — then chopped into tiny morsels with a cleaver. Fatty pork and powdered seasoning are stirred in.
Soon, steaming servings of the buns appear on the screen. The reporter takes a bite.
“This baozi filling is kind of tough. Not much taste,” he says. “Can other people taste the difference?”
“Most people can’t. It fools the average person,” the maker says. “I don’t eat them myself.”
The police eventually showed up and shut down the operation.
