Are those fake chicken?

I've got Morning* spicy black bean and mushroom lover's veggie burgers in my freezer, both of which I've been enjoying.

― JordanC (JordanC), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 22:43 (seventeen years ago) link

Oooh. I'm a Mushroom Lover. Is there a club?

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 22:48 (seventeen years ago) link

the spicy black bean burgers are awesome!

i'm hungry.

Are those fake chicken?

Yes, hence "Chik" Patties.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 22:50 (seventeen years ago) link

Who do we blame for "______ Lovers" in food products? Pizza Hut?

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 22:51 (seventeen years ago) link

Yes, hence "Chik" Patties.

Gross.

(it's taken me this long to get into veggie burgers, I'm a long ways off from being down with fake chicken)

― JordanC (JordanC), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 22:54 (seventeen years ago) link

Kenan, yes there is, I'm glad you asked.

W/r/t me and fake meats: How about never? Does never work for you?

― Laurel (Laurel), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 22:55 (seventeen years ago) link

Laurel you are gr8.

― JordanC (JordanC), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 22:57 (seventeen years ago) link

Lauren mostly OTM, with the notable exception of fake hot dogs, which are made mostly of tomato and are every bit as good as their sketchy meaty counterparts.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 22:58 (seventeen years ago) link

jordan! try the chik patties! it's like elementary school!

― sweet tater (sweet tater), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 22:59 (seventeen years ago) link

Fake meat is great. Tofurkey deli slices 4-EVA!

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 23:00 (seventeen years ago) link

I had a Best's Kosher for lunch, it was delish.

it's like elementary school!

This is not a selling point! For anything!

― JordanC (JordanC), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 23:01 (seventeen years ago) link

Looking at Julia's roomates food selection sometimes, I am a little weirded out. There's a ton of fake meat of various consistencies in there. Fake ground beef? Are you serious? I mean, I'm not totally closed to the idea (I like fake dogs!), but when I look at all that I think, "One of those might be tasty. But there's no way they all are."

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 23:01 (seventeen years ago) link

Tofurkey deli slices 4-EVA!

You should get that tattooed on your stomach.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 23:04 (seventeen years ago) link

tofurkey deli slices are a very special sort of nasty, imo.

i like well-prepared tofu. fake meats are usually suspect and scary.

― JuliaA (JuliaA), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 23:09 (seventeen years ago) link

laurel: i had that new yorker cartoon on my fridge for a while.

I only buy kosher dogs, anyway, because you know they're all beef and no "parts". Keebler.

Julia, I used to work with someone who posted it outside her office

― Laurel (Laurel), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 23:11 (seventeen years ago) link

My love affair with tofu was short-lived, because I decided that it's only really good when heavily fried (which sort of defeats the point of eating tofu, no?).

Keebler makes kosher hot dogs??

― JordanC (JordanC), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 23:13 (seventeen years ago) link

tofurkey deli slices are a very special sort of nasty, imo.

No way. They're like 10 times better than any other fake deli slices -- great consistency and seasoning. Yves deli slices are thick and wet and kind of gross.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 23:13 (seventeen years ago) link

Also, my roommate W was just saying how if they're going to make fake meat look more and more like the real thing, why not just make a thin red sauce to go with it, that will pool on the plate like blood off a rare steak?

(Keebler called me Lauren.)

― Laurel (Laurel), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 23:15 (seventeen years ago) link

― JordanC (JordanC), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 23:16 (seventeen years ago) link

haha Oopsie.

I kind of like "Keebler" though.

i don't much like fried tofu, it's still flavorless on the inside. properly marinated, it's great.

i may well hate all fake meat deli slices, i haven't tried any but the tofurkey ones.

― JuliaA (JuliaA), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 23:24 (seventeen years ago) link

This conversation is getting me psyched for chicken wings tonight.

― JordanC (JordanC), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 23:27 (seventeen years ago) link

Hannah's Bretzel has ruined fake meat for me. I didn't used to mind it that much, but now I can't stop buying the real good stuff.

― Jeff... (Jeff...), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 23:28 (seventeen years ago) link

I love Hannah's Bretzel!

― JordanC (JordanC), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 23:45 (seventeen years ago) link

i am wearing the same hat as kenan

jenny - i heart you & your reasons.

Nobody asked but here is why I like John Goodman:

Also, I think we could drink a lot of beer together.

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 01:27 (seventeen years ago) link

I love John Goodman. when I was little I used to pretend Dan on Roseanne was my dad.

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 01:37 (seventeen years ago) link

jenny, we should be best friends.

q: guys, should i get drunk/stoned and watch seven samurai OR have a home alone dance party?

― grbchv! (gbx), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 01:38 (seventeen years ago) link

huh.

an video ad online (those annoying ones they show before streaming video)--two twentysomething guys are in a cadillac listening to yes and debating whether that band is cool. so they pull over to two bikini-clad women walking by and ask them if they listen to yes. the response? "of course. it's classic rock."

― JuliaA (JuliaA), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 01:56 (seventeen years ago) link

DANCE PARTEES. May I suggest Futuresex/Lovesound?

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 01:58 (seventeen years ago) link

I vote dance party, too!

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 01:59 (seventeen years ago) link

Best friend Evan, Seven Samurai is ten years long. Do you have the drunk/stoned attention span to watch a ten year long movie? If not, then DANCE PARTAY.

I was listening to Kompakt Total 7 in the library earlier and having my own study dance party, much to the amusement of my colleagues, I am sure.

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 02:06 (seventeen years ago) link

right now the only attention i have is for self-pity and cry cry baby shit. note: if you have friends, KEEP THEM.

May I suggest Futuresex/Lovesound?

-- Laurel (sininspac...), December 6th, 2006. (Laurel) (later) (link)

quiet you.

― grbchv! (gbx), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 02:09 (seventeen years ago) link

OH NO Evan. I'm sorry that you are too depressed to finish biting through a piece of toast. I hope you feel better.

I have slashed and burned a friendship or three in my life. It is sad making.

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 02:13 (seventeen years ago) link

i still have energy for wine, at least.

and i didn't so much slash and burn friends (lately), as I did move away from them.

basically: i miss chicago, and having friends of any kind.

― grbchv! (gbx), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 02:20 (seventeen years ago) link

It's not meant as consolation, but you're doing so very much better than my sister did in her year at Winter Park. Individual circumstances were v different, obv, and WP SUX as a town, and she was younger and less emotionally resourceful...but it was the worst year of her life even though she did have some casual friends and a main squeeze (who was a bozo, but that's another story).

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 02:41 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm listening to the Sunn 0))) & Boris album, including some kind of limited-release 28-minute "prelude".

It is a large and moving Torg!

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 03:18 (seventeen years ago) link

Except that track 3 is really pretty, for some reason. I'd be fine without that track.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 03:19 (seventeen years ago) link

Ok, more on the "music you might actually like" tip, this new LCD Soundsystem is seriously great. Much better than the first one, and I like the first one a lot. He lets a lot more of his Bowie/Eno/New Wave junk jiggle, and it's... great. I don't mean to gush or anything.

If anyone wants it, I can... do that thing we sometimes do.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 04:15 (seventeen years ago) link

The first track is straight-up Bowie, and it's delicious. Track 5 is straight-up New Order, and it's savory. One of the tracks uses a piece from 45:33, and it's nutritious.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 04:18 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't have time to read 2500 posts but...I live in Chicago.

As of 2 months ago.

― Zachary Scott (Zachary S), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 04:25 (seventeen years ago) link

Welcome.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 04:29 (seventeen years ago) link

Thanks!

Which part of 45:33 does the new LCD Soundsystem use? The 7:00-17:00 of 45:33 always gets mad props, for a reason.

― Zachary Scott (Zachary S), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 04:34 (seventeen years ago) link

The part they use starts at 9:15.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 04:37 (seventeen years ago) link

I think I only just "got" 45:33. I kept listening to it as a workout mix, only I wasn't working out, so I kept being impatient and waiting for it to get faster and reach some kind of screaming diva house music high, which it doesn't. But forget about that shit, and it's really good.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 04:41 (seventeen years ago) link

Hey Evan. Go out to a local bar and create your own dance party? Does this have to do with your not wearing deoderant?

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 04:57 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh, and Hi, Zachary Scott.
