fail on both counts. Creamy PB and Strawberry PRESERVES.

That's pretty much the recipe right there. I'm sure you can find Cooper Sharp cheese in Montreal. You can find anything in that town... and that's why I love it. But if you can't, a mild white cheddar will do in a pinch.

You've been in Montreal? When?

And I'm not sure I can find that cheese, but the Balderson y or 6 years aged cheddar is commonly available. That's not going to any cheese maker, where I can finda lot of stuff.

32. Fresh Pumpernickel Croutons
The only way you're getting these is if you make them yourself, or work for a lame chain restaurant. I worked for Ruby Tuesday from 1998 to 2001. When you work at a restaurant, you obviously eat a lot of their food, and get pretty quickly burned out on it. There was one thing, though, that I never tired of, and that was the pumpernickel croutons for the salad bar. Not that ones actually on the salad bar, mind you, but when they were fresh. See, they don't toast these croutons, they DEEP FRY them. They cube up a loaf of pumpernickel, deep fry it for a few minutes, then sprinkle them with garlic salt. The result is a little warm cube of dark bread, with a crisp outside, a soft chewy inside, and an overall mild tasty garlic flavor. 70% of the croutons made at our place never got to the salad bar.

Those Ruby Tuesday pumpernickel croutons are crackmeth addicting. Holy SHIT are those good. I always watch for the server to bring out a fresh, steaming batch of 'em at the salad bar and hit it right away. When they're hot, they're unbeatable.

33. Lion's Tap hamburgers

We've got a place in Eden Prairie that is known, statewide, as having some of the best hamburgers that you'll find. It's like 10 minutes away from my house, which is thoroughly dangerous to me and my health. I'll put 'em up against 5 Guys Burger and Fries any day of the week. God, I'm drooling right NOW...

[Abraham Smashington]

I'll have to respectively disagree. The burgers are good for a bar but aren't anything special (unless we ordered them wrong). 5 guys burgers are better, bigger and tastier.

34. 5 Guys Little Bacon Cheeseburger topped with mayo,rawonions, grilled onions, and lettuce.

YES. That is all.

[Shit Dickface]

Skippy crunchy. Yum.

Hell yeah. Skippy Natural Super Chunk or whatever it is. I love it hard.

[Abraham Smashington]

Don't understand the love for crunchy pb. Which is weird cause I love PB and peanuts. But the two together just don't work for me. Maybe I'll have to give it another go.

[Howard]

Hell yeah. Skippy Natural Super Chunk or whatever it is. I love it hard.

I bet you do.

[Ed Hocken]

I always enjoy the Jim Gaffigan joke about how he bought the EXTREME Crunchy Peanut Butter and when he opened it, it was just peanuts.

[Matt]

I'll have to respectively disagree. The burgers are good for a bar but aren't anything special (unless we ordered them wrong). 5 guys burgers are better, bigger and tastier.

You and me, let's grab lunch sometime.

[Ed Hocken]

Oh shit, Burger-off!

[Chris Miller]

Jif Extra Crunchy is my favorite. I like my sandwich with some crunch in the texture.

35. Colcannon!



It's rich, it's musky, it sounds like a hard-boiled private eye, this traditional Irish dish comprising mash potatoes, scallions (spring onions) and cabbage is simple and absolutely delightful. Especially, when teamed with a few nice sausages.

N.B. This is the dinner-side equivalent of Bran Flakes. Discretion is advised.

My Mouth says YES!
