continued Thatfucker discussion

Since we've been kicked off FFA for the week, please feel free to continue the anon discussion here. Apologies if this is a big flop - I've never made a DW community before!

The rules are vaguely the same as they are over on FFA. Please refrain from being too much of an asshole, making personal attacks, posting identifying information or engaging in transfail.

ETA: If there's information you'd like to see archived (journal/blog posts related to Andy, etc.), please dump it here and link to it from the main post for discussing.

I've actually made the bacon cookies, and they're pretty good. I wouldn't go all whole-hog-special-snowflake "oh but I use four kinds of chocolate!" like he does (can you spell expensive?), but bacon + sweet desserts is common and it actually works in this case. And it's weird that he insists on breaking up the bacon with your hands after it's fried, unless his kitchen doesn't have like... knives.

Not that I'm saying anything else is edible, but broken clocks are right twice a day.

This is blasphemy against cookies.

No, it really isn't. Bacon in chocolate chip cookies is sheer heaven.

So is pretzels in chocolate ice cream. Salty/sweet combos are a gift from the gods.

Bacon chocolate chip cookies sound to me like the "Oh, this thing is delicious and THIS thing is delicious, so put together must be even better!" type of logic you see from five year-olds who want to put chocolate syrup on fruit rollups.

It also reminds me of fried twinkies: gratuitous and unnecessary and gross.

YMMV.

That's just because you've never tried them. Bacon is delicious, and chocolate chip cookies are delicious, and putting the two together *IS* delicious.

And salt + sweet (bacon & chocolahte) is not the same as sweet + sweet (chocolate syrup & fruit rollup).

That's just because you've never tried them.

I ate chocolate-covered bacon once. The experiment was not repeated.

Like I said, your YMMV.

DA

My fave thing about FFA is how even its topic-specific offshoot communities are destined to engage in food!wank.

Though the above conversation is a pretty mild discussion, haha.

We nonnies take our food Very Seriously, lol.

I had a fried twinkie at the fair this year. It was amazing. I won't be eating one for another few years, because DEEP FRIED TWINKIE GOOD GOD but it was really good.

Fried candy bars/twinkies/etc are delicious! Aside from the taste, I think the appeal is mainly a texture thing - flaky/crispy donut on the outside, gooey melty delightfulness on the inside. A lot of the outrage over them seems to just be holier than thou anti-junk food hysteria; obviously they're not something that should be consumed daily, but there are far less nutritious things that are eaten far more frequently.

but there are far less nutritious things

Like what? Meth?

Most appetizers at your average chain restaurant are going to be comparable - onion rings with dipping sauce, for example. Ever looked at the nutrition facts for TGIF potato skins or an Outback bloomin' onion?

DA, lol'ing

*resists urge to ask if you eat meth more frequently than you eat twinkies*

Diet sodas are probably less nutritious than twinkies. Twinkies at least have carbs and fats to energize + satisfy you, diet sodas just have caffeine and fake sugar that leaves you wanting more.

And I definitely drink diet sodas more often than I eat twinkies.

Shutting this down; I'm not seeing good faith posting or relevance to the topic here any longer.
