Other than in Tabouli, parsley serves no function save its garnish value. And garnish value is very low. Garnish is the first food to get laid off in tough times.

Why celery is utilized I can't fathom either. It doesn't add to the flovor of chicken soup, and frankly, I don't need my tuna salad to have any crunch.

Chunks of celery in anything are a crime against humanity. Celery is good for only one thing -- cooling the palate after the buffalo wing hot sauce.

What is your stand on stuffing? Does the anti-bread principle generally apply, or is there an exception?

And Sebby, did you really use "utilized" ?

For the love of God, man, why not? And why would you have one outside of Philadelphia, but not there? I won't eat one outside of Philadelphia.

I'd say it's a pride thing, but actually, I don't like cheesesteaks and just haven't gotten one. They're kinda "meh" to me. I can spend the same amount I'd spend on a cab to Pat's or Geno's going to a steak joint and getting a filet. Why would I drive somewhere to get lousy meat slathered in cheese whiz?

This is insane.

That's a doubly bad use of celery. First of all, it can be used to good effect in tuna salad. Second, why would you leave aside the beer to cram a stick of celery in your mouth?

Rice is garbage. It's only useful for sushi, and even then, you only need half the amount they put under the fish. I order Chinese food without rice a lot and the guy behind the counter always gives me looks. It's got no fucking flavor. No fucking flavor at all. Why the fuck would I want a nutritionless bulking agent added to my food? It's like bread. Fuck bread. Bread has no goddamned flavor. There's nothing more annoying than that jackass who says "Oh, they have the best bread here." My suspicion is those people are closet contrarians trying to start arguments, just like their asshole ideological cousins who say stupid things like "oh, the crust is the best part" in regard to pizza. Bullshit. The crust is never the best part. That's like saying the fucking rind on a wheel of brie is the tastiest morsel, or the grisled fat in a steak is the best section of the cut. There's being contrarian and then there's just being an ass.

You're crazy.

1. Plain rice is good. Most people who live on rice use it as the main part of the meal and eat it with vegetables and sometimes, a small piece of meat. If that was this country's approach, we'd have far fewer fatties running around eating way too much food. But you and your greedy friends have bastardized Chinese food into some sort of super-saucy, huge-portion orgy of MSG.

Hell, one of the benefits of rice is that you can use it to soak up sauces. Together, they provide flavor and are filling and you don't have to have huge portions of whatever fatty food you ordered to be satisfied.

If sashimi is available, I am anti-sushi, but that's because I like to control the amount of rice I get with each piece of fish. I order up and get a side of rice and am very happy.

2. Fuck bread? Fuck you. Good bread is often the highlight of a dining experience. A restaurant that serves warm, delicious bread has me for a customer forever.

3. I agree that the crust is never the best part of a pizza. But, like bad sauce, a bad crust can fucking ruin a pizza.

Your carb-hating ass can suck it.

I enjoy stuffing sparingly, depending on how it's made. If it's dry, I am not eating it.

Thanksgiving is a tough time for me. I don't like cranberry sauce or dry turkey. I have to rush in fast and get all the dark, juicy meat I can. If there's a guest who enjoys dark meat in the crowd and he beats me to it, I subsist largely on Grey Goose, champagne and shrimp cocktail.

The next time RT and I are in TCOTU, we should all meet up to break bread. Lord, how I have tried to say no to the restaurant bread. If loving it is wrong, I don't wanna be Sebby.

Does anybody have health coverage or other experience with Unicare? I've had BCBS for just about forever and have never heard of this company.

Ok, I take back what I said about you.

2 words: Butter ball. Never fails to yield a ton of moist white meat.

And as far as the pizza goes I would order a whole pie of burnt crust if I could.

1. Soaking sauce up with rice is disgusting. Why not just get a loaf of Wonder and dip pieces into a tub of (insert condiment)?

2. That people live on rice elsewhere is immaterial. I live on seafood. I like it. If somebody likes rice, that's fine. But he shouldn't go off telling me how its tastier than it could clearly, objectively, ever be.

3. If bread is the highlight of the dining, you're getting robbed.

4. Agreed on the pizza thing.

ETA: Sounds to me like you can't handle your MSG. Pansy.
