Chocolate and cake, I just can’t turn it down. If there’s some in the office I have to shovel it down me. I have to be really careful what I have in the house
Weird. I used to like chocolate fine, but it was never an obsession and now I can’t really say I like it much at all. If it’s VERY dark (like 80%+ cacao) then maybe, but most chocolate leaves me pretty cold these days.
Cake, on the other hand, if it’s the right kind? Yeah. I’m not able to turn it down. What’s the right kind?
You may be spotting a pattern in the cakes that turn my head, I think?
Thank you for the cake porn 😍
No troubles, mate.
Wow, I’ve never seen that middle one before…
Oh same. I’ve been trying to cut back on sweets but with Easter having the passed, someone’s always got bringing a bowl of clearance chocolates to work or D&D night. Heaven help me if someone brings in cupcakes.
Cupcakes aren’t my favourite cos I find so much icing overkill. Still eat them though…

I’m with you here, if it’s someone I like.
“if the question was different”
yall weird
Just one more turn?
I’m a big fan of noodles, but one kind in particular is a “can’t walk away from” variety: 刀削面 (dāo xiāo miàn or “knife shaved noodles”). Where most noodle types around the world (including China) are pulled, cut, or extruded, 刀削面 are shaved from a noodle mass in strips. (This takes a significant amount of skill to do well; 刀削面 made by someone good at it can be pricey.)
So what makes them special?
The way they’re shaved makes them of uneven thickness, usually a bit thick (like, say, lasagna thick) on one side but shaved down to a knife’s-edge thickness on the other. This gives them a unique texture and mouthfeel. Further, the thin edge, when cooked, tends to “ruffle”, making it hold onto spices and sauces better.
Traditionally these are shaved straight into a broth, cooked in seconds, and served as a soup. However they can also be served as “dry noodles” (noodles in sauce instead of a soup broth: Ragù alla Bolognese/spaghetti Bolognese would be classified as “dry noodles” in Chinese nomenclature), stir-fried, or used in any number of other creative noodle dishes.
I can’t resist them. If they’re an option in a restaurant, they are not optional.
I shouldn’t have checked those 6AM. Now I’m hungry - they do look delicious.
Oh, you have NO idea. 😬 And there’s a place literally a two minute walk away from my front door that makes them really well. It takes a force of will for me to walk past them when I go that direction.
I want to visit China so bad. Best cuisine in the world
Well, near the top for sure. There’s some areas of India whose cuisine I could live the rest of my life getting very fat on. 🤣
It’s extremely rare that I turn down a cup of coffee.
Tobacco. Anytime, anywhere
New plants or seeds I haven’t grown yet.
Cheeses - emmenthal, gorgonzola and brie in special.
I can do without the mouldy cheeses, but Emmenthal and Brie (yes, I know the dust is mould too, but you know what I mean) are great!
Pizza, cheesecake, wife’s puppy eyes,
Receiving usd50million clean money* with no string attached.
* clean as in the mean of obtaining the money given me isn’t via robbery or any illegal activity that is mean to make me an accomplice.
Chilling in bed (alone) reading a book/the internet.
That’s nearly all my favourite things in one activity, I’m lucky I’m such a low maintenance person.
That sounds like a lovely day! I have insomnia so can’t risk it messing up my sleep hygiene
World domination.
Well if you’re currently in control, you’re doing it very badly.
Who isn’t these days?
Meth.
I hear it taste like metal but smells great. I assume the crystal like structure might cause some discomfort though. Doesn’t seem wise to put anything up your nasal cavity, but powders seem like they would dissolve in bodily fluids, what stops rocks from just getting stuck and not dissolving for a while?
I like my nose so I just use toilet paper to parachute it up my ass.
No idea how it smells or tastes.
Based
Does this have something to do with the maggoty cum farts?
I really want to respond in kind but for some reason I’m worried that I should act more mature in the casual conversation thread. No idea why. I hope all your parachutes perform their best out there.
I was having trial fasting (ramadan) days when I was a kid and another kid offered me some almonds, I ate them in a heartbeat and forgot entirely about the fasting. It was really early in the day. So yeah, healthy and delicious food gets me even when I am deeply committed to something.
French fries/chips or crusty baguettes/bread rolls!
