MFM is utterly responsible for the constant tension and outrage in Meta. Just look how...

1. LOL.

I'll be sure to wear a gas mask if I venture into meta again.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

2. And a side benefit: MFM contributes to global warming

The methane levels are climbing

[Baitball Blogger]

3. If they required a frat pledge to eat those things it would be called

hazing.

[MiddleFingerMom]

4. I only remember them on the backbars of dives w/o kitchens... and people who are drunk & HONGRY!!!

.
.
.
That said, pickled eggs are mighty tasty.
.
.
.
Especially when you're drunk & HORNY... um... HONGRY!!!
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Or so I've heard.
.
.
.
Really!!!

[Major Nikon]

5. If you live far enough South you can find pickled pig's feet as well

I never got drunk enough to try one.

[nolabear]

6. Those suckers even have their own song.

And a fabulous song it is, too!

[MiddleFingerMom]

7. That IS a fantastic song -- that era's blues is one of my favorite genres to listen to.

.
.
.
You just reminded me of a great story that I could tell about me and the 18-year-old
bank teller and my CD of 1930's blues guitar greats, but I think I'll save it and put it
in an OP sometime.
.
I do have another story. Once, I took a date to a bar where a young guy who was an
accomplished blues guitarist/vocalist of that era's music was playing. He was amazing
and my date also fell in love with the genre. At one point, he asked for requests and I
yelled out "Blind Boy Fuller". He played one of his songs and, during his next break,
came over to our table, introduced himself and asked if he could sit down.
.
Duh.
.
We talked music in general and those blues in particular and he told me that no one
had EVER requested Blind Boy Fuller before and he just HAD to come over and meet
the guy who had.
.
It pays to know (about) people!!!
.

8. Once, our unit had a joint exercise with our sister German unit and at the end of it...

.
.
.
... they brought out their gigantic field kitchen trucks and we had a FANTASTIC party
in the middle of the woods. They also brought much much MUCH beer and schnapps.
.
The dinner was a delicacy of theirs -- some sort of pig hock/pig foot thing. I was able
to take one tentative (eventually unswallowed) bite and decided to fill up on the side
dishes.
.
I vaguely remember their company commander repeatedly leaping ACROSS the bonfire
arm-in-arm with our youngest rawest lieutenant.
.
Boy, do the Germans EVER know how to party.
.
.
.
But somebody should talk to them about that pigfoot thing.
.

9. I spent some time in Germany and the Germans certainly take their drinking seriously

The chow hall at Ramstein had a big bowl of mayonnaise on the salad bar and I never knew why until I saw some Belgian troops spooning it out for their french fries. It was the first time I had heard of this. I tried it and it wasn't bad, but I think I'll stick with ketchup.

[LiberalLoner]

11. You know what's really delish, seriously? Mix some mayonnaise and ketchup together and try that.

Out west some people call that "fry sauce" and I think it's really good, better than either one alone by itself!

[Major Nikon]

17. I like mixing hot sauce and ketchup

Muy bueno.

[blueamy66]

23. El Pato and ketchup??

Awesome with fries and any type of fried fish!!

[LiberalLoner]

36. Oh, that sounds good! I wonder if a person could mix the three of them together, would it taste

good? I will have to try it.

[Major Nikon]

39. This is my favorite one to mix with ketchup

http://www.tabasco.com/tabasco-products/sauces/tabasco-green-jalapeno-sauce/

[MiddleFingerMom]

12. That's a pretty common practice across Europe (the English douse theirs with malt vinegar,..

.
.
.
... which is also tasty).
.
.
.
At home, I usually put both a dollop of ketchup AND a dollop of mayo on my plate
when I'm splurging and having Freed... um ... French fries.
.
.
.
BTW, when talking with a RW'er, casually ask them "How're them Freedom fries
working out for you guys?"
.
.
.

.

[LiberalLoner]

37. LOL!

[blueamy66]

20. Hell, I found a whole pickled pig's head

in a jar on the counter of a market outside of Charlotte, NC. Yuck !!

[LiberalLoner]

10. LOL - ever tried Scotch eggs? My husband loves them, I think they smell powerful!

[MiddleFingerMom]

13. I've never had one. They always seemed like too much trouble for the value received.

.
.
.
My favorite "different" thing to do with eggs is that I put minced tuna into the
yolks of my deviled eggs. I never EVER get to bring any home from a potluck.
.
.
.
If it sounds weird, think of how many people put diced eggs into their tuna salad.
.
.
.

[LiberalLoner]

14. That sounds ingenius! I will have to try that, my DH loves deviled eggs in general! Thanks!

[Kali]

22. oh yeah - go ahead and make be barf this morning

and guess what is simmering on the freaking stove AT THIS MOMENT???


ya bastid

[MiddleFingerMom]

25. Calf fries?

[Kali]

26. EGGS

for egg salad or deviled eggs SIN ATUN!!!!!

(calf fries wouldn't be simmered, they would be...um...fried)

[mysuzuki2]

15. Wel, now I know why I feel so dirty everytime I venture into meta.

[MiddleFingerMom]

18. I would've been GLAD to explain it to you. All you'da had to do was pull my finger.

.
.
.
Though, if you had ever spoken with my niece and/or nephew, you'da known much MUCH better.
.
.
.

[mysuzuki2]

19. The one thing I would NEVER, NEVER do, no matter how drunk I was

is pull your finger MFM.

[OriginalGeek]

16. Man I must be hungry

because all that shit looks great. And I have never even had a pickled egg.

[AnneD]

24. I made some for the first time this year

I just hard boiled some eggs and put then in spicy pickle juice and let them marinate for a month. They were great, especially with salads. Hubby loved them.

Edited to add...that is a great way to preserve extra eggs.

[OriginalGeek]

28. Well I love eggs and I love pickles

so there's no good reason for me to not have had a pickled egg any longer.

In fact, I have a big jar of Famous Dave's spicy pickles nearing it's end - Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Do you remove the shells before putting them in the juice?

[AnneD]

30. Yes,,,

otherwise the juice cannot marinate into the egg.

[OriginalGeek]

35. Cool!

Thanks for the info!

[LiberalLoner]

38. Oh I've heard of that! I also read about some people putting them in with pickled beet juice, and

they have a nice taste and also a cool color then.

[MiddleFingerMom]

27. Hungry, uh-huh. Not drunk. No!!!

.
.
.

.
.
.
I LOVE YOU, MAN!!!!!
.
.
.

[OriginalGeek]

29. lol

maybe a little bit hungover.....

[libodem]

21. Ya order lounge snacks

And ya order lounge snacks and you hide them in the storage room, and who gets in to 'em, and takes them to meta.


Yer gunna have to pay for that you know. It's going on your tab!

Lynn get your stapler out....

[ohiosmith]

31. No Guinness? Guinness farts are considered a poisonous gas under the Geneva Convention.

[MiddleFingerMom]

32. Isn't Guinness known as "breakfarts in a bottle"?

[ohiosmith]

33. Made me laugh!

[OutofMindOUTBody]

34. Careful you are making yourself a target for femrep

I'm sure the eggs represent something about woman and since all items are related to a bar I'm sure she will be able to make some comment about that. I go back hiding.



Up up and away ! Anyone seen Louis?

[In_The_Wind]

40. Oh. Good grief.

Every time mr In_The_Wind promises to never do it again I look for ways to prevent another mishap.


Maybe you should hold off on the beans for a few hours before entering Meta.

[A Simple Game]

41. I don't care what you do, there is no way you can

stink up meta any more than it already does.

But it is a good place to go when the lounge is having a slow day.
