Chips or crisps?

Giant Bombcast Big Live Live After Podcast Cast Live

@brewster: Crispy chips!

Olives and onions are fucking disgusting and if you like them you have no soul.

@mr_shufu: I can get not like olives, but you do know that onions are in 99% of food? You pretty much can't cook without them.

Love Jeff, but never understood how you can hate an essential ingredient in cooking. Sure, I can understand not like eating raw onions, but it's mainly used as an ingredient. It's like saying you hate jumping in video games even though it's component in nearly most games made.

@w00master I'm talking about identifiable chunks of onion, not molecules that used to be in one.

@mr_shufu: I get that, but it's still bizarre to me. You literally cannot cook without them.

I have cooked without them for decades.

@mr_shufu: So when you go to a restaurant or buy an off the shelf item (like soup or frozen pizza), everything you eat then is disgusting? Onions are part of a base flavor, there is always something missing that you just can't pinpoint when you leave it out. Again, it's why 99% of all cooking (around the world) uses them.

I'm pro onions.

@mr_shufu: Now I want a pizza with just onions and olives. Mmmm.

Just Saiyan...

every time i see a bag of zapps voodoo i buy them. no thinking.

I'm pro onion, anti olive. Secretly a bit olive-curious, but i don't have the courage.

Olives are amazing, they're my favourite vegetable, all of you guys are crazy! Onions are pretty cool too.

Will the foodshaming never end?

@geirrDon't you dare get near any chocolate!

Pat's call was incredible since somehow only the important words of his question came through.

I use onions in as many dishes as I can figure out how to.

I will eat an entire jar of Kalamata olives and ask for more, but I will accept any type. A Frito Scoop with an olive sitting in it is one of the best drunk snacks.

Regarding "ludonarrative dissonance" - it's just a somewhat pretentious way to say "gameplay-narrative dissonance". Ludo is the Latin word for play, so for academics who love their Latin, fine; but for the rest of us, why don't we just say "gameplay-narrative dissonance", the meaning of which is more readily apparent to everyone.

I need to know what that hot This Is America remix was Ben ended the show with.

'cadence'

I really need to play Super Mario Bros. 2 at some point in my life. I still haven't played that one, Sunshine, or Odyssey yet.

@w00master: Being allergic to all onions except the Texas 1015 one, I can totally get it. People put too much stock into them. I can do small amounts of the powder but not much more than that. I solve it by just not putting it in stuff. Meatloaf, cheese dip, dressing... Actually, the more I think of it, onions aren't in a lot of things I like. Scrambled eggs, sausage, hamburgers, sandwiches, toast, cereal, beef bowls, sesame chicken, sushi, fish, the list goes on. It's more of a filler than anything without any real nutrients to them...
