Food that makes you...uh...sick.

[arbusto_baboso]

We've now had threads on Best fast food, and worst fast food.

What about restaurant food that consistently "gets things running"?

For me, that has to be Domino's Pizza. If I ever buy it again, I'll just go straight to my toilet and throw it in, because that's exactly where it will wind up 15 minutes after I eat it.

1. taco bell

:nuke::yoiks:

[fNord]

6. seconded n/t

[unpossibles]

2. Donatos Pizza, sometimes Burger King

I generally stay away from fast food as much as I can. I have a pretty cast-iron stomach, but...

[Rabrrrrrr]

3. The Chinese buffets - good food, but oily.

And oily and Rabrrrrrr don't get along so well.

[arbusto_baboso]

4. There's a Thai restaurant in my town that people rave about...

And I love Thai food, for the most part. But I don't get why people are so crazy about this place. Everyone I know who's eaten there has got food poisoning at least once. Yet the place is still locally rated as "the best" Thai restaurant in the county WTF?

[CBR]

16. My husband spent a night at the emergency room after

a bout of Chinese Buffet-induced food poisoning. We have not eaten at one since. I also avoid buffets because watching others pile on the food to such absurd levels is, well, nauseating. I like to eat and I cannot fathom the amount consumed by some individuals at these buffets.

Edit: spelling

35. You should see the people loading up their plates at Old Country Buffet.

My friend and I go there once in a while, and with the exception of some Asian families, we are the only people in there who aren't seriously obese. And the more obese they are, the more they're piling on the most fattening foods at the buffet.

[Rabrrrrrr]

41. Oh my God, yes! One reason I don't like going there - it's so fucking depressing.

It's like offering an all-you-can drink bar for alcoholics.

And to think that even though their clientele is mostly food addicted morbidly obese people who eat truly ludicrous amounts of food, Old Country Buffet still makes a profit on a $9 or $10 buffet, one can only assume that the quality of the food they are buying (to say nothing of the piss-poor quality of the cooking) must be the cheapest, lowest-quality food that the government allows a restaurant to buy.

[Renew Deal]

22. They're not always good and they're mostly not food.

:D

[Moondog]

5. Pizza Hut.

In these parts, they oil the crust after it is cooked, but before it is served.

It makes one, uh, astonishingly regular.

[arbusto_baboso]

15. Regular? Or unstoppable?

[Moondog]

27. Depends on how many of those red pepper flakes I put on it.

[tabbycat31]

7. applebees

last time I ate there I had food poisoning.

[quakerboy]

8. Panda Express

Tastes like it has been pre vomited with extra stomach acid for my tasting horror.

Burgerking has gone far downhill in later years as well.

[triguy46]

9. Hell, I don't need food to puke, just the most miserable excuse for a condiment there is....

Mayo. I will die if it passes my lips. I've learned how to spot it, how to avoid it, when to suspect it, when to insist upon it not being used. Never. Under any circumstance. No excuse for it. Its horrid.

[Mollis]

11. I second that.

I hate mayo. I will never eat it.

[madeline_con]

32. "... when to suspect it..."

:rofl:

[Generic Brad]

10. White Castle

I have eaten there three times and gotten violently ill within an hour of ingesting their food each time. Coincidence? I think not.

I consider it Republican food because it does not agree with me.

[Bertha Venation]

19. "I consider it Republican food because it does not agree with me."

:thumbsup:

:hi:

[OhioChick]

12. Wow.....Just about any fast food does me in.

:shrug:

[Manifestor_of_Light]

13. many things.

I am allergic to shellfish and tomatoes and bell peppers. I can't eat spicy stuff either.

I had Chili's beef and cheeze nachos once with no hot sauce and I was up all night belching and wondering if I was gonna toss my cookies.

A lot of foods don't agree with me on general yuckiness. I can't eat greasy and spicy either.


I once had a burger and big wedge fries for lunch.

As it turned out, they didn't boil the potato wedges first, and they came up and made their appearance again at .......9 o'clock at night!!! :puke:

:eyes:

Moral: Be sure to boil your potatoes before you fry 'em.

[stray cat]

14. too much alcohol.....

17. whatever passes for food at the National Zoo

made the mistake of getting a hamburger at the nat'l zoo in DC. :puke:

20. another reason to avoid Domino's

Their CEO (might be retired by now) is a major right wing Catholic and donates piles of money to anti-abortion groups, and made statements seeming to justify killing doctors who perform abortions.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

33. No, he's long gone -

Monahan sold his interest in Domino's a lot of years ago..................

24. is that a sweet or savory thing? n/t

[Chan790]

25. Savory. Jamaican Patties.

Hand pies filled usually with spiced meat, although I only eat the veggie or soya patties. That's how I discovered GK...other than Taco Bell, it's the pretty-much one of the only vegetarian-friendly fast foods I've ever found.

A recipe to make them at home:

Veggie Patty

INGREDIENTS for filling:

* 1 medium cabbage
* 1 small tomato cut up
* 2 tablespoon margarine
* 1 scotch bonnet pepper. Cut up and add for spicy flavor.
* 2 sprigs thyme
* 1 crushed garlic or 2 teaspoons garlic powder
* 2 or 3 small slices of a sweet green pepper.
* 1 medium chopped onion or 2 table spoon onion powder
* black pepper
* salt to taste
* 1/4 cup water

METHOD for filling:

1. Wash cabbage
2. Cut up/slice cabbage leaves in pieces
3. Sauté tomato,onion, garlic, pepper, thyme in margarine
4. Add cut up cabbage to water and stir
5. Cover saucepan and cook cabbage until tender
6. Sprinkle with pepper and salt.
7. Do not over cook as you will be using this as filling.

INGREDIENTS FOR PASTRY:

* 11 oz shortening
* 4 cups flour
* 1 level teaspoon salt
* 2/3 cup iced water

METHOD:

1. Combine salt and flour, then work-in shortening, cutting it in with two knives. (No. 2 & 3 omitted as I have replaced the suet with shortening thus negating the two steps of suet-preparation.)
4. Add ice water in sufficient amount to have a dough which can be rolled out.
5. Form into a ball and with a rolling pin, pat gently, turning the dough over once or twice in order to have it all properly held together.
6. Set overnight wrapped in wax paper in freezer.
7. Next day, pull off enough dough (after defrosting) to roll into a circle the size of a breakfast saucer.
8. Dip dough in flour before rolling.
9. Roll quite thin and cut in a circle. (use saucer for help)
10. In the center of each circle place a spoonful of cabbage filling, fold dough over to form a crescent shape seal edges with egg white or by crimping the edge and folding dough slightly under.
11. Do not prick the pastry.
12. Bake on ungreased tin sheet in a hot oven for about 35 mins.
13. This recipe will make about 3 dozen regular patties.
14. Makes 3 dozen regular size patties. Try different fillings. (Spicy Beef, Curry Chicken, Saltfish and Ackee or Callaloo are most common.)

23. the "veggie" options at airports

I tried a veggie wrap (spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes, balsalmic vinegar and some other cremy ingredient) at SFO and had to go buy some pepto bismo before the flight. Soooo nauseated.

[MissMillie]

26. mussels... but not "running"

:puke:


I love them, but I have never consumed mussels w/o a several-hour barf-fest afterwards


I can eat steamers or fried clams


I'm terrified to try oysters.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

29. According to Bourdain, they're the most likely shellfish to cause food poisoning

I'm not a fan of raw oysters, but fried ones are yummy.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

37. They are supposed to come from certified disease free waters.

You can get hepatitis from 'em. A very large class action suit was filed in Federal Court in the early 70s against Angelo's Fisherman's Wharf Inc., a restaurant in Houston.

There were about 200 plaintiffs. A few of them died.

[fizzgig]

28. nothing really

i think my guts are lined with steel or something

[Inchworm]

30. True that!

I think sometimes I poison myself experimenting :rofl:

:P

[Tangerine LaBamba]

34. I can eat anything,

and not have any bad reaction.

If you put liver in front of me, I'd puke and pass out, but, anything else, besides squid and eel, I'm cool .......................

31. Dominos Pizza... imitation cheese, imitation peperonit....

Directions: Set oven to 350... Heat Pizza in Box. Take pizza out of box... eat box... throw pizza away.

[jennygirl]

36. Subway's Personal Pizza

I don't know why but every time I eat one I get stomach cramps and the runs. Maybe its the fact that unlike real pizza places (Pizza Hut, Papa John's, Dominos) they cook it only for about five minutes whereas the regular places cook them for about 20. I may be getting Salmonella or some other food poisoning from them. Plus they taste like cardboard with pizza toppings. YUCK!!

[Duer 157099]

38. McDonalds

Doesn't get things running, but definitely makes me sick to my stomach, every time.

I only eat there a couple times a year, and every time I'm reminded of that documentary about the guy who ate there every day. I can't even imagine.

[EndersDame]

39. Cheezits I love them but i end up eating the whole box

And i usually like the ones with tobasco! Oy!

[begin_within]

40. For some reason, a lot of restaurant water gives me "the runs."

Quite a few places I've eaten at in the last few years have made me have "the runs" after eating there, and I think it's the water or drinks made from their water such as iced tea, etc. It's happened repeatedly at a few places so I don't go to them any more. I don't drink the tap water here in San Diego, we get bottled water delivered, so maybe it's in the tap water here in general.

42. I will not touch Domino's.

Several years ago, when my daughter was 14-ish, she and her best friend were babysitting my younger two children, and we ordered a Domino's pizza for the girls. We hadn't gone a mile up the road yet when the girls called and said something was wrong with the pizza. It "smelled funny", they said. We stopped and picked up some other fast food for them, brought it back to the house, and checked out the pizza. It literally smelled ROTTEN. I could have hurled just from the smell! My husband called up Domino's and insisted on getting our money back - they wanted to give us another pizza as a replacement. Um, no. Don't want another rotten pizza, thanks.

I have never ordered from them again. Gross.
