Neo Food of the Day

The Core The Polling Forum
#1

GAP made the original one. It was cool and all for a while. Then Setz came, and it died. I start a new one. GAP, feel free to take over once you have stable interweb.

To quote GAP from the original:
“This is where I name a food each day, and you tell me how much you love/hate/could care less about said food! You can do it in one word, in a sentence, in a paragraph, a haiku, an epic poem, a short story, a play, a ten page thesis about said food, a book, an encyclopaedia… I don’t care! Just tell me how much you like said food item. This food item can be a condiment, a main course, a sidedish… whatever. And if you want to comment on this food tomorrow… no problem! I don’t care- as long as you tell me what the Hell you’re talking about. I will number each one each day as well for ease.”

Food #1:
Sunflower Seeds

I personally like sunflower seeds. Some people shell them. Not me. I eat them whole. That also makes them last longer for me because they’re a bit saltier that way. I’m sure Sin and others will say it’s unsanitary, but whatever. I subscribe to the Child’s Theory of Raw Cookie Dough: “If I don’t know/think it will make me sick, it won’t make me sick.”

Who shells sunflower seeds? Whole all the way! I can’t say I love them, but they’re one of the signature snacks I’d always get when I was a kid! Between that and pumpkin seeds, I was a seed-eatin’ machine!

By the way, in case any of the old guard are looking: I’m GAP and I approve this thread! (:-P) I’m quite glad it’s back, in fact! I just hope that The 984 can keep up with the delicious, delicious demand (I’m sure he will, he’s a reploid, damnit!).

I do rather love sunflower seeds. And to answer your question GAP, I shell them.
I pop them into my mouth then crack the inner part out. Then throw away the shell.

A parrot loves sunflower seeds
smashes them, pecking with its beak,
and makes a cracking sound

content he shifts his scrawny feet
nibbles a bit and loudly shrieks
looking for more around

#5

I love sunflower seeds, although I prefer them with out the shells. Are you even able to eat the shells?

#6

I think you could eat the shells(I always spit them out), but they probably fuck up your digestive system.

I do like sunflower seeds. Too bad I have allergic reactions to sunflowers.

#7

Food Type / Level of Enjoyment
Sunflower seeds = Occasionally.

#8

I don’t know, the only sunflower seeds I tend to see are the ones we feed to birds in the winter. ^^
I’m quite sure I’ve eaten some of them anyway, and they’re good, I guess. But not really something that I eat often or even buy myself.

#9

Not fond of them myself. I always found them rather tasteless, unless they were salted, in which case they tasted like salt.

#10

Food #2:
Turkey

I like turkey. I like it for Thanksgiving. I like it sliced deli style for sandwiches, cold or hot. I like little turkey breast thrown into a salad. It’s a good meat.

#11

Every time Thanksgiving comes around, I think I like turkey, but then I remember that I don’t really like straight up turkey. I like mixing it with stuffing and frying it up. Then putting it on a sandwich. And I don’t mind deli turkey as long as it’s NOT glow in the dark.

#12

Vegetarian, but back when I ate meat, turkey was middle-to-low on my list of meats. Above most pork products, but below chicken and red meat.

#13

I love turkey. I honestly wish that I could have roast turkey throughout the year… it’s by far my favorite meat. This is especially true when combined with particularly good gravy and stuffing. Mmmmm…

#14

Turkey = Yum (when moist and tender)/Ick (when dry as a bone)

#15

Sunflower seeds are the weirdest food. I find they have no taste, no flavour, I barely notice eating them except they get stuck in my molars sometimes, but once I start I just can’t stop. D: I’m sure that’s a bad thing.

Turkey is good only if there’s gravy to go with it. I don’t care how perfectly cooked, it’s always too dry. But with gravy it’s delicious.

It’s no ham, though.

#16

Turkey’s good when done right. If not, it doesn’t really taste like anything. Always good to have every once in a while though. Deli turkey falls a rung lower for me, since it can occasionally taste nasty as hell in a sandwich. (Why?!)

#17

Turkey is good when cooked right, but also contains tryptophan which is a chemical that makes you sleepy, also sold in pill form as a sleep aid.

#18

I like turkey so much that I took photographs of it on Christmas:

#19

I’ve only eaten turkey once, but I really liked it.
Of course, it could be that if I eat it a few more times it’s not as good anymore because it’s not “wow, I’ve never had this before”, anymore.

#20

With all the gravitas of my comment no. 3000 let me say: I like sliced turkey.

edit: supposing the numbering system worked. Let me say then with all the gravitas of my comment no. 2999 that I also like well-cooked turkey.
