It’s awful to have a REAL problem that requires it. Painful. Debilitating. And lots of embarrassing and painful time in the bathroom which strikes abruptly.

Jeez, sure, it is bad to have diarrhea and farts and be embarrassed. But, nothing compared to choking and having an anaphylactic shock! The way I see it your REAL problem is not that big of a problem at all.

NP.

Shit yourself at work, and then talk to me. No I didn't die, but yes I wanted to crawl into a hole and never come back. My coworker had to bring me my keys and purse, then I had to explain myself to my boss. It's not an ignored stomach ache. Sometimes there is no warning.

Since then I am very careful about what I eat outside of my home.

yes!

If you need to put *anything* on your hash browns - mustard or ketchup - you've made them wrong. Good lord.

Exactly what I was thinking. You shouldn’t need to douse your potatoes in condiments. Also, hash browns slathered with mustard just sounds nasty.

False. Not all hash browns are created equally. I don't know about you, but I make maybe 1% of the hash browns I eat. The others are ordered in a restaurant and sometimes condiments are absolutely required.

Don't fear the mustard.

Well what kind of mustard are we talking here? Because if you’re talking about taking perfectly good hash browns and putting French’s yellow mustard on them...my god, PP.

Different PP.

Why would you think that? You must not have ever attended the National Mustard Museum.

Thanksgiving foods do not work together. It really is the worst meal of the year. A professional chef can not make this combination of food work.

This isn't even that controversial because I know so many people who agree. Every year the non-traditional dishes like pumpkin sage ravioli, great spinach salad, tasty appetizers and ham is all gone and there are mountains of left overs of turkey, gravy and stuffing. Every year, the host has to put out the same foods that most of the family doesn't like because one or two porker relatives wants to pack a plate with turkey, stuffing, potatoes and drown it in gravy and then giggle while filling up Tupperware with this gloopy mess.


I don’t understand why the combination is so objectionable:


Turkey
Potato
Green beans
Gravy
Cranberry sauce

Plus whatever extra sides. What doesn’t go?

These are all very, very bland foods and its very starchy, heavy with very little variation in textures.

I don't like luxury foods like caviar, or oysters. Oysters are slimy, can't stand the texture. There is nothing delectable about fish eggs.

For steak fries with a (relatively greasy) burger, there is Echte Zaanse Mosterd, a surprisingly smooth-tasting whole grain mustard with a bit of acidic bite.

For standard hash browns, why not dip the tines of your fork in the dill notes of Terrapin Ridge's dill pickle mustard? And if your hash browns are deliciously crispy on the edges, step it up with Inglehoffer's creamy dill mustard with lemon and capers.

Ketchup really is perfect for the preschooler palate. It has its place, but it isn't mustard.

Soup is for frumpy old ladies .

I hate the annual soup threads or the proclamation that someone is cozying up with a warm cup of soup. Sure- with a pile of cats and stack of magazines.

Dill mustard sounds amazing. Thanks for the tip.

I'm still in my 30's but this sounds pretty nice.

Absolutely! The next time you are in Wisconsin ( ), remember that the museum moved from Mt. Horeb -- the one with the hand-carved roadside trolls? -- to Middleton. Free samples!

Oh, yes. Make it a murder mystery and splash some bourbon in the tea.

Ok your problem is worse than mine. MY brother almost choked and had to be rushed to the hospital during my wedding rehearsal dinner. Happy now? Yes it was very REAL.

NP here. I don’t like cats or magazines, but I’ll take the murder mystery and bourbon.
