@CarnivoreErik What an annoying and frustrating article. Started reading with interest, but found little more than an opinion in search of a problem. Lacking any empiricism it instead aims at a straw man. It’s a criticism of marketing, and a superficial and misleading criticism at that.
@jasonc_nc Ostia, outside of Rome, beachside sandwich cart. Simple but fresh tomato, prosciutto and salt on a hard roll. Have never been able to recreate something so simple but so good. This was 30 years ago and I still think about it all the time.
@Mike_kim714 The poetry of Sylvia Plath. Or the relative merits of grape vs. strawberry Uncrustables. Or why does my driver hate me? Or rakes in or out: a debate.
@RealMattCouch All of them. When I inevitably die, because we all die, I want it to be something served in wax paper that was “cooked” in a reheating drawer that takes the blame. If it makes an embalmment and open coffin impossible, even better. Blow me up, fried burger-taco. Blow. Me. Up.
Mike the Headless Chicken, aka "Miracle Mike" was an American chicken that lived for 18 months after a failed slaughter attempt in 1945.
When Mike did not die after being struck with an axe, farmer Lloyd Olsen instead decided to care for the bird. He fed it a mixture of milk and water via an eyedropper, and gave it small grains of corn.
After nearly 2 years of nationwide fame, Mike choked to death on a corn kernel in 1947.
