State of the Game

[The Nephilim]

You, my friend, need to be introduced to the traditional Cuban-American 'medianoche'.

Pork, ham, mustard, cheese and pickles. Lightly toasted if that's your preference...

I'll take two please.

Saying that- the French use far too much sugar in (sliced) bread.

he's american... they call cake bread

True story: when I lived in the UK I had a magnificent fish and chip shop that sold b-i-g portions. My father in law took a photo of the full plate and showed it to his French neighbour who just cried looking at it.

I can well imagine!

'Nother true story: I was at an eatery out in California (no, I have no excuse, other than it was a business trip so I had no choice) pretending to be a traditional pub, so I went there just to see, having at least some vague memories from trips to Blighty ages ago. The ambience was a bit off, not enough drunken footie fans on their 6th pint for my liking, in fact none at all, but they did have decent lager and, lo and behold, "fish and chips."

So I got some, and was mildly amused when I saw the pile of what you folk call crisps stacked next to my perfectly good fish. Still got OK points in my book because the waiter, when I called him over and pointed at said stack while saying, quizzically, "chips?", immediately apologized and returned shortly thereafter with a steaming hot pile of thick cut fries.

Also, they served it with malt vinegar.

Overall, would visit again.

This is what I really miss in game. We have lore about printed fast food, rares etc but EDO fast food wrapping is very bland and generic.

The amount of un you could have with it (and gameplay delivering food) would be immense.

After looking at this thread I am now hungry and decide to cook dinner.

Tinned soup... Yay for me

If that had happened in the UK it would have triggered a Tetsuo mind blast of anger from all the OAPs.

'Kumo Eats' food delivery service.
When the driver shows up you don't know whether you're getting a delivery, or you ARE the delivery!

Sound good, but I'm very sensitive to mustard, a hint of it, and my nose is in fire^^

I'll have to keep that in mind in case you ever come over and I happen upon you.

We raise our young'uns on habaneros. There's even a saying: "If you ain't sweatin', you ain't eatin'".

This is true and they call money, 'cabbage'. According to Breaking Bad anyway.

Which I find extraordinary. Please see below for a selection of Cabbages.

My dear friend, you need a lesson in sandwiches.
For your good old French sandwich, you need a baguette (that's obvious), and butter. With ham, and pickles. If you're fancy, you might use a bit of cheese.
But, you can also make for example a roast chicken sandwich. In that case, I use a bit of ketchup (or any tomato based sauce) for the bread, lettuce, tomato, some cheese (greek feta usually), chicken (obviously), but also some mayonnaise. You can use a baguette for bread, or a different one ! I use naan bread, pita bread, or ciabatta myself.

This guy just called. Something about you handing over your passport back.

In game pizza boxes talk about delivery- why not have a timed mission where you have to deliver before it gets cold? Or that Papa John wants you dead?

I'm seeing massive potential.

Polenta, effectively.

If memory serves

Ahh I miss America! Where everything is huuuuuuge compared to everywhere else

I remember ordering a Hot Dog while I was over there many years ago. Picking the thing up with comparable to holding a sniper rifle!

Yeah, but it's FDev, so they'd pay you the price of a medium ship to deliver 2 pizzas and a garlic bread.

"Papa John" sounds like he should be some Haitian Voodoo gangster with an army of zombies at his disposal should you screw up the delivery mission or offend him in some way.

Or they will sell you a gun skin that looks like pizza and garlic bread for only 12000 arx

Boiled cornmeal.

Don't care for it much myself.

First I explained 2 sandwhich. The traditional, and a more modern one.
Using ketchup in a "jambon beurre" is heresy of the highest order, I agree.

Also, I said "or any tomato based sauce". And ketchup is fairly popular in France, but it's submitted to strict rules. See "heresy".
