Hah! In Scotland we dip pizza in batter and deep fry it. With a deep-fried Mars bar for afters.

I’m calling Gordon Ramsey on your ass.
Gordon Ramsey would deep fry that pizza in wagyu tallow.
That deep fried creme egg looks naughty
The first bug eave of immigrants to the US were the Scotch-Irish, which is where the American propensity to deep fry everything comes from.
You can aslo the American usurpation and economic dominance over England as those Scotch-Irish getting their revenge.
Time to make a pilgrimage
Get drunk before having it, but if you’re coming here you were probably going to do that anyway
Guys, guys, there’s no point in intercontinental squabbling, we should focus on the real enemy, uh… teleporting space squid
Wait… is that a reference to the original Watchmen comic?
You know it
Nothing beats a cheap slice of pepperoni pizza
Italians will cook your pasta inside a whole wheel of cheese. Spaniards deep fry pork belly and serve it as a snack. Last time I was in Eastern Europe I thought something was a sweet only to discover it was a lump of straight-up pork fat. Just raw. To munch on.
Americans may be more consistent at eating gross murderfood regularly and in large quantities, but they sure aren’t the only ones to have it.
The big difference is in the details.
Italians dont cook your pasta in that wheel. They throw it in there and shove it around. Its no comparison to that center console by any stretch. The countries that munch on raw fat are usually freezing cold and very rough in terms of manual labor conditions. People burn through double the amount of calories or more if they have heavy manual labor and cold climate.
Maybe not the spaniards though. ;)
You’ve never been to the Po Valley. We fry mortadella here.
Oh god… I can feel it, I can feel the East Germans commenting “that’s a Jägerschnitzel” and then the flame war with the Austrians kicks off.
Did shrinkflation not hit america? Everything in that photo is huge, and it’s not like the car is small. Even while having a huge car as the background, the food looks huge.
It’s very much a thing unfortunately its everywhere. this is just from costco a wholesale retailer you need a paid membership to shop at, hence the large portions and cheap price on it.
Also, the CEO is adamant about keeping it that way.
Adamant is putting it lightly. The co-founder apparently told his CEO successor:
“If you raise the effing hot dog, I will kill you. Figure it out.”
I really want to believe this was the only heated part of the power transfer.
Seems to have happened to everything but Costco’s food court. I guess it’s a strategy to get people in the door. Their hotdog/drink combo is still $1.50.
But as of a few months ago, they’re no longer available to non-members. And the hot dogs are indeed a loss leader, a delicious loss leader.
$2
As an European, I cannot comprehend the width of that centre console. 2 drinks side-by-side AND some extra? Must be a full eagle screech wtf is a kilometer V8 mortr truck.
When I was a kid, I remember being impressed that my dad’s Dodge Ram could fit an entire laptop in the center console, horizontally.
Fun fact:
It’s “a European” since the pronunciation starts with “ˌjʊ”. Similar thing with “university”.
I’m not trying to be a dick but to spread information.
Ok, that’s all. Thank you for reading :)
That be a truck, the center console can be flipped up to have a central seat in trucks where the shifter is on the steering column or besides the real (dial in Ram trucks).
In some cases it’s actually 3 drinks side by side…
Generally the center consoles of full sized trucks and SUVs is as large as it is because people on construction sites wanted a file cabinet holder center console. So it can hold an 8.5 x 11 or A4 sized paper horizontally in the center with a holder.
That’s your daily 2,000 calories right there.
My pet peeve is when lids are slightly on. It’s worse than having no lid at all.
I don’t even know if that counts as on at all. It is really just laid on top partially covering it.
Those new, shitty lids are always slightly on. That’s as “on” as they get.
And they break for like no reason
This could kill a European
If it didn’t contain so many banned ingredients
That will only kill a European if the American who ate it sat down on the European.
If you really want to throw them through a loop, tell them how much that cost you.
Ahh yes, Costco Man. The provider of life sustaining deals on bulk products.
You know, Costco exists in Europe as well, with the same food order menu.
Well I for one did not know that actually!
I (an American) had actually never heard of Costco until I moved to Japan. Where I grew up we had Sam’s Club, but no Costco, so when I got to Japan and the other foreigners were talking about how they love getting the chance to go down to Costco, I had no idea what they were talking about.
Didn’t see a Costco in person until a few years later.
You merely adopted the $4.99 rotisserie chicken.
I was born into it, moulded by it.
Why you didn’t see the $1.49 hotdog meal combo until you were a man.
Sam’s club is superior anyway. They have a larger and more stable selection at the same or better prices.
Yea but then you’ll be supporting Walmart. So there’s that.
Yeah but worse labor practices.
The real crime is eating that in your car
Be me using FSD to hold pizza in one hand, drink in the other, while I mow down children with reckless abandon
This should be our citizenship test.
I think we should do it mukbang style. Here’s a huge pile of food, you have to eat at least 3000 calories in 5 minutes to pass
The meal is what it is. Collieries for a whole family dinner
But how wide is that center console of your car? Double cup holders side by side?
I can barely have my coffee in my VW FOX and still change to the top row of gears without tripping it over…
See, the Americans don’t do stick shifting
