My dad used an expression: as fucked up as a soup sandwich. I think this is worse.

This article about them is pretty hilarious in spots.
We would dutifully order our sandwiches and about ten seconds into eating his, my dad, with some gooey bean sprouts hanging out of one corner of his mouth, would get this look on his face like he had just chugged some unadulterated lemon juice mixed with vinegar. “See,” my mother would chide him, “you don’t like them.” Nevertheless, we’d find ourselves back at Salem Lowe the following winter.
But here’s the thing. I wouldn’t say that I love the taste of a chop suey sandwich either. I dare say that virtually everyone who lives on Boston’s North Shore would agree with me.
They didn’t like it and contend that no one really does, but they keep going back to order them.

They didn’t like it and contend that no one really does, but they keep going back to order them.
That would make for a good post theme: “Why do people keep going back for food they don’t like?”
Off the top of my head I’m thinking about stuff like fruitcakes, chalk-tasting valentines hearts, candy corn for Halloween… except those all have a holiday / special day theme. Hmm…
Gotta sprinkle a little crack into the mix to get em coming back for more
Good point in reality.
Don’t some fast food joints (like McD’s) add artificial flavoring agents to the hot food such that they get diffused in to the air, whetting peoples taste buds?Point is that the food never quite tastes as good as it smells, and in fact might make you feel downright badly afterwards. Yet next time you pass by, you might just smell those delicious smells and make the same bad decision again.
Maggots, Michael… You’re eating maggots.
How do they taste?
I still believe
Jesus christ, that’s food?
Looks like maggots took over a cheeseburger
I wanted to downvote this until I saw the community it was posted to.
Not even a Klingon would eat that and it looks a lot like Gagh
Of course not. It’s dead.
pass the unsee juice please
Are they even aware that chop Suey contains vegetables and sauce and flavor?
Food in Maine is mostly garbage. Lots of small shops that just put lobster rolls on the menu and let tourism do its thing keeping them in business.
Reds is absolute garbage by the way.
Shhh don’t tell the paying customers that!

Fair enough, there are a few good places. Especially in Portland. But overall it’s slim picking.
BURN THE WITCH!
expecting good food in New England was a mistake to begin with
Not so sure about Maine but southern New England is awesome for pizza, bagels and sandwiches.
Portland Maine has some amazing restaurants. Not sure what that guy’s talking about
they have like duckfat, a donut place, and that’s about it. relative to outside of new England, the food there is mediocre at best…
Southern New England is good for pizza? I think you’re confusing. New York City with New England.
Connecticut. New haven is fantastic.
Connecticut.
I don’t know what people are going on about in this thread. sounds like a bunch of tourists or people who live in meth towns in New England. like lobster rolls, sure. oysters, they can have that too. but pizza? bagels? for us to be claiming to be good at that stuff is just ridiculous. southern New England has great Mexican and Chinese food too! might as well make those claims too while we’re at it.
Absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. Never been to New Haven or Danbury or like, the rest of the state? Or more like you’ve never seen how shit pizza, Italian sandwiches and bagels are in the rest of the country.
ever been to NY? Chicago? Philly?Detroit? LA? all better pizza cities with more options. is New Haven underrated for pizza? certainly. is it standout? no. it’s ok. it’s not bad but saying s. new England is known for pizza because of New Haven pizza is just ridiculous dude. like really? we’re gonna say a whole region has good pizza cuz one city has like two good pizza places while it’s dog shit everywhere else?
Why are you only talking about large cities in the northeast and Detroit? I’m comparing it to places like Minneapolis, Phoenix, Portland, LA, Houston, Dallas, Austin, Denver and Seattle. I’ve eaten pizza in small towns in Connecticut that beat the crap out of anything I’ve had in those cities.
I’m mentioning large cities in the northeast because they all have better pizza than southern New England. you think small towns in other states don’t have randomly delicious pizza? small town pizza is good everywhere dude. all pizza tastes fucking delicious when you’re driving in the middle of bumfuck Connecticut. same with other small towns. doesn’t mean the whole southern New England is known for pizza. Western Oklahoma City is known for pizza too.
I know it’s just ignorance, but godDAMN if that doesn’t get my hackles up
only someone from New England and not well traveled would say this though. if you’ve gone around the block, pizza and bagels are relatively mediocre if not borderline poor there and a coastal town that has good sandwiches is literally true across North America. so sure, if you’re from Worcester or something and never gone anywhere outside of new England, then sure, southern New England has great food!
No, in real life I’ve traveled through 45 states and lived in 10. Not from New England either. No idea what you’re talking about really, but just so you know, you’re wrong. Mainly I’m talking about Connecticut and Boston. I don’t have any illusions that there’s great cuisine in Vermont or rural Maine or some shit.
did you go to 45 states and only eat McDonald’s or something? I just can’t believe you’ve tried food in other states and think Connecticut and Boston (wtf?!?) have good food. I’m from Boston and I know the food here is dog shit. I also can’t name a single good restaurant in Connecticut that isn’t some cookie cutter new American restaurant.

There’s good food in New England, just not this crap.
not really. there isn’t really an impressive food scene here. it’s fairly one dimensional where we’re essentially only good at raw or boiled seafood. anything cooked and seasoned here is asking for too much when we’re majority white here and where even a majority of them are coming from countries very notable for having bland food. there are ethnic enclaves in New England but even their food id say is not great taste wise and expensive compared to other cities since New England is so white that the demand for better ethnic food is low and it’s an actual challenge for ethnic food locations to source legitimate ingredients at a fair price.
I said good, not impressive.
that’s fair then
I, too, enjoy wet bread.
Just kidding, I don’t. Because I’m normal.
Wait, is that the maggot cheese I’ve heard about?
Did you recently watch that Sam O’Nella about banned foods too? I had heard about that cheese before the video, but it would be a funny (and gross) coincidence that I encountered two mentions of that cheese in less than 24 hours
