I Love TANG

[AHMETxRock]

MY school used to make sandwiches for lunch. Like, three bucks for a maybe filling sandwich. And you could buy gatorade and there were nachos to buy. They get rid of all that, because it's unhealthy. Meanwhile, during the summer they moved in a ton of vending machines that sold cola and chips and candy. Basically they got rid of our slightly healthier and actually more preferable and fondly regarded options so that vending machine deals would be profitable enough.

All of the V8 fusion flavors cost the same, so I can assume that they added a ratio of Acai that was cost effective. Doesn't change the fact that it's one of my favorite flavors.

Healthy eating is definitely pretty much the furthest thing from their mind. Whatever gets them money. Even today it's much easier for me to find a pizza pizza, subway sandwiches, nothing you'd ever actually consider eating every day; and I do! And almost every building has a Second Cup and a Tim Horton's (a few also a have Starbucks or Timothy's).

Grits, I dont know. I have never at them. They look like throw up to me.

Trust me it's pretty good when you make it right. I have made polenta a grand total of 1 times, with apple juice cos some person on the internet said to. My Mum said I should fry the pieces so they had some flavour as it is usually pretty bland, but she ate her words. The polenta too.

If you have never had any tang then get some. Its awesome.

Isn't Tang just orange flavoured cordial?

You add butter and either cheese or honey, which gives it flavour. You could add herbs and spices or something. It is also delicious grilled or fried, or with various sauces and other dishes on top. My mother once made pizza with a polenta crust, which was a pretty good idea, but she used the clam-squid sauce as the sauce to it was kind of gross. Polenta is easy to make. It makes good breakfast. You should eat it more.

What exactly is cordial anyway? My impression of it is basically sugary fruit syrup stuff that is mildly alcoholic (I've only heard of it from literature, never heard of real people actually consuming the stuff).

[Sahan]

Cordial is just a coloured, sugary water with a bit of either natural or artificial flavour added to it to make it taste like the original fruit juice. Also, the news that you have Starbucks and vending mahines and all that crap in your schools and univeristies scares me, a lot. There are a few small little shopping areas that caters for uni students about 5 minutes walk away from campus, and the city centre is only 10-15 minutes away by bus too, but we don't have any non-campus run food outlets in the actual grounds, and I'm pretty sure there is legislature to ensure there can't be any too.

So, I read this title right the first dozen or so times I read it.
Now, for the last bunch of times, I've always initially seen "I Love TNG".
As if this is some Star Trek fansite.

Well, there have certainly been more embarrassing mix-ups.

True, in Australia anyway. I think Kool-Aid is an American brand of cordial?

Wait, I just found out you make it from a powder. 1. I guess that doesn't count as cordial then, and 2. yuck...

EDIT: But not that much more yuck than most of the generic brands of cordial I guess.

There are some good cordial brands though, and my cousin just brought back some really nice elderflower cordial from America.

[LordRetard]

Ohh I know what those are, I like those. IKEA sells a lingenberry syrup that's not bad, and all of the German and Polish stores carry a lot of these.

[Cirtur]

Lingenbury syrup is what you are supposed to put on your Swedish Meatball.

[LordRetard]

No. That's cranberry sauce. And I'd never do that because it sounds gross.

[Cirtur]

Cranberry sauce is for swedish meatballs. I'm talking about Swedish Meatball.

[mountainmage]

Cranberry sauce coupled with any meat is gross.

Funny, I just stopped doing that.

I dunno, with turkey it's pretty good. Quince paste is also good with turkey.
