none of you bijes were gonna tell me how good pistaccios are? (a thread for the fat bijes)

[fabulouslyghetto]

thank god i'm a dedicated fat bij that wil eat snacks i hated as a child when it's all that's left in the pantry/on the store shelf. (being a true fatty isn't about taste, it's just about shoveling as much food product down your gullet as you can without cutting off your oxygen supply). now i'm sitting at my laptop with a bowl full of pistaccios and i'm' pretty sure when this bowl is empty i'm gonna pour another.

PS: people who don't splurge the extra $2 to buy them out of the shells are cruel barbarians. my other half is getting a strongly worded email about this. the email will also contain an apology cuz i'm pretty sure i'm bout to eat his whole bag. they're so tiny it's impossible to feel like a glutton.

any foods you hated as a kid but you love now?

hot sauce (couldn't pay me to eat it as a child, i was sure i'd burst into flames just for tasting a drop)
dark chocolate
chicken wings and porkchops (bone-in meat products still kinda repulse me, i only spend my money on boneless but i won't turn down a bone-in chop or wings)

any of you heffas dare me to eat this whole 2lbs (900g) bag in one sitting? cuz i will.

 

[fabulouslyghetto]

mmmmm salty nuts

No. I'm still a picky eater. I eat a wider variety of foods from more cultures than I did as a child. But I don't eat meat. I did as a child.

Have you ever had them garlic roasted?

 

[metta]

I prefer them shelled because it slows me down.

OMG, that's the second orgasm you've given me today.

Update:

Jaw starting to hurt. Still going. I thought I was joking when I said I was gonna eat the whole bag. Send help. How do you know when to stop? Like, with cookies you know you're supposed to stop after one sleeve, cuipcakes you're supposed to stop after one row. When it's just a big bag, how else are you supposed to know when to stop except when the bag is empty? Is there a hotline for this?

This makes a lot of sense.

Love Pistaccios.

But sometimes we cheat and shell a whole bowl full first.

Btw when I was a kid, I didn't like raw tomatoes, fried liver and onions or cooked raisins.

Years on, the first two I love.

And I can at least eat cooked raisins if forced.

As a kid I hated rice in every form.

That takes true strength and character. I don't even have the patience to shell two consecutively.

Do yall just be cookin raisins up there or you mean as an ingredient in something? Cinnamon raisin bread slaps. Is that what the kids say, slaps? I dunno, it makes my belly happy.

He didn't mean it, bowl of rice, he didn't mean it.

You should try honey sesame almonds. Or peanuts.

As for childhood tastes, it's not what I wouldn't eat then, it's what I ate then and wouldn't eat now.

Like two slices of american cheese on white bread. Just that. Cold. On a plate.

Or my mom's version of a hot dog: Place one slice of white bread on plate. Set aside. Boil one hot dog until it bursts at the seams and looks like something hanging off a dead animal on the side of the road. Place hot dog on white bread, making sure it's still dripping wet. Fold white bread over hot dog. Try again when it snaps back. Try once more. Say "Fuck it", slam an almost empty ketchup bottle on the table and go make yourself a drink.

Or creamed corn. What kind of monster serves cream corn to her family?

She did make a killer lasagna, though.

APOLOGIZE TO THE BOWL OF RICE!

Bij don't diss the dead animal on the side of the road burst hot dogs.

Also, honey sesame almonds sounds divine.
