"The Hangover"
Brinner
the one I least expected to enjoy. It was great though. Hilarious in
fact, in a completly unexpected way. I was even prepared to hate it
after I tripped and spilled the buttery portion of my popcorn,
cuntballs, on the way in.
I was expecting lots of slapstick, poorly set up comedy a la the last
few Will Ferrel flicks. I got slapstick alright, but it was actually
very funny. There were even some clever bits in there.
Low brow, but definatly worth a watch. Whats the worst that could
happen if you go see it in reality? It hasn't got Christian Bale in
it, so thats worth the admission price for me.

That's gotta hurt. I've never actually had actual real butter-popcorn,
so I couldn't say. But man, if I spilled my snacky goodness it would
totally bum the movie for me.

I've never even heard of this movie. And I often get Will Ferrel mixed
up with Colin Farrel. They're both about equally funny.

You've never had real butter popcorn? You haven't lived my portly
amigo. I make it home sometimes, just melt a little butter in a
saucepan and pour it over some microwave popcorn.
Its a measure of how good the film was that I overcame the "popcorn
debacle" and enjoyed it immensely.

To my knowledge, they don't actually have butter dispensers at the
cinemas here, or in any of the cinemas I've been to in Australia. Over
here, they sell the popcorn ... well, popped, and then there are a
bunch of different flavour-powders you can sprinkle over them. Butter
included. But it's not really the same.
I was amazed at the stuff they sell at movie theatres in America.
Nachos? Cookie dough? Pizzas? That's so wrong, it's right.
Me, I get a hankering for regular old chips - you know, crisps, potato
chips - when I'm at a movie. Most conemas here don't sell them, I have
to go to a supermarket beforehand. The couple of cinemas I went to in
America didn't seem to sell regular old chips either, but I admit I
may have been dazzled by the nachos.

Crisps are great and all, but not for the cinema. Too noisy. I like to
jam my crisps in whatever sandwich I happen to eat for lunch. Do you
have cheese and onion crisps in Finland?

The usual. Sour cream and onion. Nacho cheese. They sell them in jars
you can take home for cooking too. I've been tempted to take the sour
cream and onion falvour powder home to put on oven fries.

Oh yeah. They don't have chicken sort of chips, and they only rarely
have salt and vinegar. But they certainly have the sour cream and
onion / chives / pepper, and it's great.
My main gripe with Finland, speaking of chicken, is their almost-total
lack of chicken fast food. What is the deal with that?
Hmm, but a chip sandwich is do-able. Couldn't make it through a movie
without a bag of chips, myself.

Oven fries? I thought you were better than that. Chips should be deep
fried, preferably in some sort of animal fat. The smear said chips in
cheese and bacon.

Chicken crisps? Thats a new one on me. It kills me when I got to
Canada that they don't have cheese and onion crisp, but yet they have
somthing called Chipolte on everything.

I hate chicken fast food, well done Finland.

Chip sambo or crisp sambo? Both are good, but man alive there's
nothing like a chip sambo(as in french fries).

Heh, we tend not to deep-fry chips, at least here at home. Although I
have me a tub of deep-fry oil these days, so it could be on the cards.

We do potato wedges with cheese from time to time, but we're not, you

They have that at Subway here, it's a type of chili. And also, there's
this special hot sauce you can find here, the Sudden Death variety ...
they do crisps, nuclear-hot. One of the flavours is chipotle.
But chicken chips are good, and chicken salt on fries is even better.

Agreed. Actually can't remember ever having a crisp sambo. But the old

Aye, I need to have one soon actually. There's a chipper here that
cooks using beef fat, none of you fancy vegtable oil, delicious. I
must pay a visit with a pan of bread under me arm.

It's a special challenge, you know, like a handicap. When you're as
good as I am at being fat, you can afford not to eat certain things.

I'm telling you, they're crazy-hot.
>> But chicken chips are good, and chicken salt on fries is even better.
>
>Chicken salt? Does that involve processing a chicken in some way?
I've always wondered.
Although, it's a funny thing. Last time we were in Australia, they
were selling chicken salt in the supermarket. Delighted, I bought a
jar and sent it back to Finland, thinking it would revolutionise our
oven fries.
But it didn't. It didn't taste anywhere near the same as the chicken
salt you get to put on your chips at a late-night hotdoggery or fish
'n' chip shop in Perth. It was just weird. In fact, the Finnish spice
called aromasalt is much nicer on fries or wedges.
Maybe the problem was that I just didn't put enough of it on. Wanting,
as I did, to preserve it as long as I could.
This has been a long and ultimately pointless anecdote for your
culinary enjoyment. And it has reminded me to go and find our jar of
chicken salt and try it again next time we do fries.
>> Pff. I scorn your otherwise impeccable taste from this day until the

The end of time, or something. I don't know. Something to do with
chicken.

>>
>> >Chip sambo or crisp sambo?

No, just the bags of crisps.
Had a weird new crisp flavour the other day, when we went to see
Public Enemies. Which, incidentally, was nicely made but, like my
anecdote above, ultimately pointless. I mean, guy robs banks, gets
shot. There wasn't really anything else to it, no actual story. But
still, it was okay.
Anyway, yeah. I had these crisps that purported to be
everything-flavoured. Or something like that. They had tomato sauce,
pepper, paprika, chives, onion, garlic, and a half-dozen other spices.
One of a new series of crisps that came out from a newish brand, bit
of a gourmet crisp - although the only other flavours I could see were
original and sour cream and onion.
Anyway, they were okay. Not the taste explosion I expected, just a
regular crinkle-cut crisp with a mild tomato sauce flavour (do you get
tomato sauce flavoured crisps? Those are good, they do them in
Australia). A bit burned, too, actually.
There you go. Two paragraphs more about crisps, half a paragraph about
the movie.

The Elephant and Wheelbarrow in Perth did meals, including basket of
chips (something like $5) and the chip butty (something like $8),
which was the same basic basket of chips, with a couple of slices of
wonder white and a foil packet of butter (total cost about 50 cents)
on the side. Class.
Good chips, though. It's all in the chips. A chip butty with good
chips and a lathering of chicken salt is all you need to go on
drinking all weekend.

Never thought of it like that, but surely one of the most efficent
ways of remaining fat is to eat bacon. Surely you appreciate
efficiency? No matter how badly spelt.

Had some Jamacian rice and peas on Saturday at a music festival, it
was so hot I started to see in sub space. I was at said festival for 3
days, camping in a muddy field. Man alive was the food good though,
I'll sum it up in one dish:
Chicken Balti Pie, chunky chips and mushy peas.
That's flavour country right there. A close 2nd was the spit roast
pork sambo I had.

My mouth is watering here. There's a chipper here in Dublin that'll
serve you up bread with your chips as well. I frequent it after GAA
matches a lot, my would usually be a burger with a fried egg on it,
chips, bread and scalding hot tea. Then off for some boozing.
GAA being the original version of Aussie rules footie but played with
a round ball.

Well, no. I guess not.
Haven't had oven fries since this discussion last took place, although
I have once again used aromasalt to good effect in a dish that is
basically diced potatoes, sweetcorn, onion and sausages, all fried up.
The sausages in question are cheese sausages, you know, with the gooey
cheese through them that makes them look kind of dodgy when you
squeeze them.
But delicious.

Ah yeah, my aforementioned Irish colleagues have told me about it,
apparently Aussie Rules players periodically go over to Ireland to
compete in GAA, and vice versa. Sounds like fun. Violent and
confusing, like any true sport.

Bacon is only slimy when cooked wrong. You need to fry it until its
crispy and delicious. Then make some french toast and have yourself a
bacon, french toast and maple syrup sambo. Oh yeah.

Now that sounds tasty, could do with a little bacon in there though.

I am not a fan of those cheese sausages, I find them very, very

Brinner speaks great truthiness. Especially where maple syrup is
involved. Mmmmmmm.
You are of course, forgiven.

You are a troubled man and you hold bacon in entirely too high a
regard. But I have to admire your tenacity.
Haven't tried the chicken salt lately, although we have now used up
all our aromasalt.

Bacon is delicious. I can't believe anyone would argue with this!
But yeah, if it's slimy, it's not been cooked properly. Or for long enough.
