Oh dear

is this a language/culture thing? because rucola is absolutely in the “a kind of lettuce” class of vegetable here, together with romaine and kale.

But subway bread is tubular, so doesn’t fold in a way that contains things

Could be unbaked Subway dough fashioned into a flatter bread cake

Do not call my arepas fat tortillas. They are separate foodstuffs though composed of the same ingredients.

I believe that is a calzone.

It is in that class but when you say lettuce I imagine iceberg lettuce or something similar. You know things actually called lettuce.

yeah we call it “rucola lettuce”

In english? Because we only call it rucola.

See, I think this may be a regional issue more than a semantic issue because around these parts that horrifying electric bun spike is the quickest way to not get invited to the next barbique.

We usually don’t even make hotdogs on barbeques. I cannot recall the last time we did. Balkan grill has so many better options to choose from.

no, translated

So I looked this up and found a restaurant in Germany? The food looks amazing and I’m going to have to find recipes for half their menu.

So the way this discussion is going, it reminds me of an old cookbook that describes curry as “a gravy laden with spices and made with the milk of coconut.” While the description conveys the details well, I don’t think any sane person would say gravy and curry are the same category. The issue comes from the difference in cultural meanings and the way languages steal words. My classifications are based off the mid western American concepts of hotdog and there for would not work outside of a region familiar with it.

I guess the only good option to finally solvr this debate would be a latin taxonomy like we do for animals and plants.

it’s delicious as fuck that’s what it is next caller please

It’s a pupusa. There’s already a word for it, why do we need to give it another?

I don’t think any sane person would say gravy and curry are the same category.

Why? Culinary, curry and gravy are quite similar, and serve similar functions. Obviously they don’t taste all that similar, but I don’t think that really matters much when you consider the vast variety of flavors that curries come in.

And actually, now that I think of it, Japanese curries do share quite a few flavors with a Western meat-dripping-based gravy. In fact, I’m pretty sure the directions on the package curry cubes I get from the Asian grocer refer to the curry sauce as “gravy”. So yeah, actually, plenty of sane people put curry and gravy in the same category, for solid reasons.

Sounds like you’ve never had a taco pizza, and I’m sad for you

calories are calories and you’re just happy they’re eating?

my cool brother taught me the fattest of assery in hotdogdom and i can probably handle one of these a year. they’re great tho

My Cool Brother’s Baco-dogs

Ingredients and Build Order
bun
mayo
crumbled bacon
narrow all beef hot dogs (sliced lengthwise)
thick freshly grated cheddar of your preferred sharpness (hard)
dill relish
a thin squiggle of ketchup
a thicker but not overwhelming line of brown deli mustard
a dusting of celery salt (i can’t remember if this was in the original recipe or i added it after experiencing a real chicago dog)

Method
you want to fry the bacon, slice the hot dog lengthwise and fry the dog in the bacon grease. fry until you’ve got some good browning/maillard bullshit on the cut side, but fry both sides. then build the dog in the order above, from outside to in. yes, you have stuff in between the halves of the hotdog. sometimes we toast the bun, usually not because there’s enough hogfat in there already. also mayo-ing hot bread ain’t the best.

I prefer burritos anyway, and I don’t need any fucking lettuce in my burrito either
