Eh… we got Greek restaurants all over here, two churches in my neighborhood that are Greek. I can’t stand the pastries and weird alien lasagna dishes, but can eat Lamb, and kababs. They used to sell lambhead here, but stopped a few years back. Butchers still get Lamb in, already skinned, looks like a little naked man with a snout, operate in the back of some ethnic grocery stores… scares the shit out of kids seeing someone their size and shape sitting on a table, bring dismembered, eyes in the socket staring at them.
Gyros are essentially spam.
I do eat Spam by itself or part of a larger dish. I don’t like the Spam Musabi sushi, but like it pan frieded, with the sausage slices. I can and do eat it raw, but I die when it’s cooked… nothing taste better than spam slices pan fried. Cook it like Bacon.
Most restaurants in Hawaii have gourmet spam slicers. Slices 8-10 slices.
Half that dish you see is of Korean origins, including how that beef is butchered. No Koreans here… I’m Catholic, but want to marry a Jewish girl… but I want her to be a Korean Jew so I can have me this dish a few times a week. True love is exceptionally hard to find.
All I know is that I really dislike the Hawaiian tradition of adding pineapples to every damn meat dish.
Let’s take baked ham as an example. Why does somebody want to fuck that up with pineapples? That custom originated in Hawaii and now is common practice all throughout the United States.
Are you kidding me? Some of those Greek lasagna style dishes are the best.
Dude, the Greeks didn’t originally eat those dishes, like Moussaka, they ate Kababs, like the Hittites did. If you go to a Turkish restaurant, they get closer (they conquered the Greeks in Asia Minor, many are actually of Greek descent and don’t know it).
The shit you like was the leftovers the Turks would allow the Greeks to eat. The argument Smears here gives for Spam, applies to modern Greek cuisine.
Greeks are also nearly vegetarians. They are just easing into their Easter fast cycle here. They only have a day or two late thus week to eat meat, then it’s finished till Greek Easter, in May. If your hungry for Lamb at a local Greek restaurant, go now, you may find them out of stock soon. Sometimes, if a community has a Greek Catholic population, and the Easter is off for the two, they will serve Lamb for the overlap.
I’m a member of a Christian Apologetics group out in Pittsburgh, Pa… it has a Turkish restaurant two blocks up and I just eat there. One of the militant athiest members is a famous philosopher… I know him, I just can’t figure out who he is. I saw him on TV before a few times. He learned I gotta nasyy bite. I’m gonna leave some Spinarch or beef between my teeth next time and sit across from him, and just collapse all his arguments and smile a lot, piss him off. I can tell he is used to winning, guy just stares at me bewildered at times… like I shouldn’t exist.
Check the philosophy department websites at the nearby colleges and look for his mug shot under the faculty sections. If you can find him, you can find his work, and you could fuck with him even more.
Pittsburgh has a lot of universities and institutes. I think he is famous from TV… it’s his damn face and mannerisms. Its almost like that little guy from the gong show.
I had to read some papers once that David Lewis wrote to a dude named Alvin Plantinga. I remember Plantinga basically got owned. I’m not sure that settles the question of whether or not there’s a god or a right and wrong thing to do, but Plantinga got owned.
What if that’s him? What if you’re debating Alvin Plantinga and making him look at you crazy? You should ask him what his response is to a Lewis paper called, “evil for freedom’s sake?”. I honestly want to know. I bet I can predict the gist of what he would say, but I want to see him try and spin it.
Think about those philosophers that are so analytic that they might as well be scientists. That’s how these dudes are, and one’s an atheist, the other a big time Christian. I think someone told me once that Plantinga might be the smartest Christian alive. Maybe I"m the one who said that. Who fucking cares?
Do you have a toaster which is geared for spam, like something which would entirely pool the juices? Even that sounds dumb.
There is nothing wrong with a bit of eccentricity. We must all strive to be a bit unique - but is eccentricity irrational? I hug trees. I find nothing irrational about them. But spam in a toaster? Not much difference between roasting span and frying it up but toasting it?
lol I have an hour-glass figure but IT doesn’t tell time.
Depends on the settings, I use other people’s toasters.
If it is on the middle setting, twice before it starts blistering and sizzling.
However, it’s better to pop in over, lightly browned, or fry. Its a surprisingly good, distinctive taste… you gotta adjust for the taste more than looks. I’m not coming, it’s a favorite breakfast food on buffet lines in Hawaii, you can’t keep it stocked fast enough.
Toaster is a perfect fit, but doesn’t cook nearly as well as over… just is a quick fix to get that taste.
Who is not him? Christ?
