I am drinking Starbucks now, and it's not terrible

Well I'm glad stupid people remind you of me, Karen.

It's ok, I know what you mean...just havin' a bit of fun .

To be honest, as far as food goes, The Olive Garden isn't that bad as long as you look at it for what it is: generic food with Italian stereotypes. It's not disgusting or anything, it's just so completely un-Italian that whenever someone versed in real Italian cuisine eats there, it tends to give a "wtf?" sensation

^ I agree! Same here!
The Olive Garden is probably the best in the genre of "generic chain restaurants" and I would much rather eat there than Red Lobster or AppleBee's or anyone of those stupid places.

At least at Olive Garden you can find decent dishes that won't give you a heart attack.

the meatballs at IKEA are fucking delicious

Yes, they are.

 

[Dead Winter]

What can I say? I like frozen junk food sold as authentic stuff .

Enlighten me on the error of my ways, Karen, and explain to me what real Swedish meatballs are like, if they even exist. See, the difference between me and the others is that I don't get offended and get all defensive and "NO YUO!!!" when I know I'm ignorant of something. I'm curious.

In fact, Brooks really opened my eyes the other day with his post about needing to be around curious people. I never thought about it like that, but I feel the same way. The people I don't like to be around are the people who have no curiosity or interest in anything other than what they've always been forced into. Curiosity leads to enlightenment, in my book. What moron wouldn't want to become more intelligent and enlightened?

^ Chris- they say a dumb person acts as though he is already smart, and a smart person acts as thought he needs to know more.



Well, hey, if you like them swedish meat balls at IKEA, who am I to tell you they're bad..
but when you have REAL meatballs, made from fresh ground meat, juicy and fresh, from fresh ingredients, and then you eat that crap at IKEA, I mean....

nigga please.

Oh dear, of course nothing beats homemade meatballs. But I was wondering if there is a big difference in Swedish meatballs and just "normal" meatballs, and if in Sweden they are a source of pride or if it's just a dumb stereotype.

Speaking of meatballs, there really isn't such a thing as spaghetti and meatballs here, although there are some rare dishes in the south that will sometimes use meatballs, although the very small ones.

Of course IKEA is not the real thing, although I enjoy their stuff on occasion. But at the same time it's not like I'm choosing to go to IKEA to eat...it's just a by-product of having to shop there sometimes. No, being FORCED to shop there. It has been three years since I've stepped inside an IKEA and I have been dreading the next visit ever since.

 

[Dead_Lioness]

well, think about it: the food in Ikea is processed fast food crap that is being sold for a dollar..
Now, Is it BETTER than some other fast overly processed foods? maybe, but that doesn't mean it's good

I actually ate at IKEA once and I hated it.. I had the meatballs, and that cinnabon, and I felt like I was on a plane, eating airline food...
Gross.

I'm fairly sure that it's one of the signs of the apocalypse.

hahahah Derek, I missed you! <3

 

[Kvlt Wench]

Starbucks is okay when I'm working and don't feel like walking a block and a half to get better coffee at the bagel place.

 

[derek]

hahahah Derek, I missed you! <3

Yasureyabetcha!

 

[Captain Beard]

I occasionally get the iced sweet coffees... I don't like hot drinks.

 

[Kvlt Wench]

Yeah, their lattes and mochas are better than the coffee.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

I don't drink coffee, but Starbucks (makes me think about bsg ) Vanilla Chai is wicked decent.

 

[Captain Beard]

Indeed. I should have a mocha when I go cash my late-but-finally-here state tax refund.

Yeah, I was a little disappointed they finally made the Starbucks joke in the final episode.
