  2. It must be unusual or cursed in some way. a. For example, something like Doritos Milk would be unusual, but normal milk would not.

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

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 14 points 2 years ago

Before seeing this abomination, I would have just imagined a clam chowder bread bowl. And those rock.

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.

Maggots, Michael... You're eating maggots.

How do they taste?

[–] dsco@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago

I still believe

[–] Gerudo@lemm.ee 16 points 2 years ago

Jesus christ, that's food?

[–] orphiebaby@lemm.ee 12 points 2 years ago

I wanted to downvote this until I saw the community it was posted to.

[–] gofsckyourself@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

Looks like maggots took over a cheeseburger

[–] 8000gnat@reddthat.com 10 points 2 years ago

pass the unsee juice please

[–] Glitch@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Not even a Klingon would eat that and it looks a lot like Gagh

[–] gregorum@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

Of course not. It’s dead.

[–] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Are they even aware that chop Suey contains vegetables and sauce and flavor?

[–] morphballganon@lemmynsfw.com 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Man, Maine and Oregon love having city names in common.

All five boroughs of New York City have their own Main Streets.

Wait, is that the maggot cheese I've heard about?

[–] DannyMac@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] zakobjoa@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

I, too, enjoy wet bread.

Just kidding, I don't. Because I'm normal.

[–] IsThisAnAI@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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.

[–] r4venw@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Shhh don't tell the paying customers that!

[–] LeroyJenkins@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

expecting good food in New England was a mistake to begin with

[–] squiblet@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Not so sure about Maine but southern New England is awesome for pizza, bagels and sandwiches.

[–] r4venw@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Portland Maine has some amazing restaurants. Not sure what that guy's talking about

Southern New England is good for pizza? I think you're confusing. New York City with New England.

[–] IsThisAnAI@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Connecticut. New haven is fantastic.

[–] squiblet@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Connecticut.

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!

[–] squiblet@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

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.

There's good food in New England, just not this crap.

[–] LeroyJenkins@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] BananaPeal@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I said good, not impressive.

W…why did anyone even buy this?

[–] JimVanDeventer@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I didn’t realize you enjoyed eating vurms.

[–] ModsAreCopsACAB@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

This is a vomit sandwich.

You vomit before eating it, you eat vomit, and you vomit afterwards.

[–] gregorum@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Well, at least they’re recycling.

[–] riodoro1@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Double the maggots please.

[–] theodewere@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

clear cause for a Sandwich Inquisition

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

I'm probably gonna head to Fall River, MA for a chow mein sandwich instead
