People don't like gravy? Huh, we eat it quite a bit here. Goes on chicken-fried steak, or on biscuits for breakfast. (and that's the bread-type biscuits, not cookies you Brits)

Gravy on cookies: Bad.
Cookies for breakfast: GENIUS.

Don't think I've had gravy for breakfast, but now that you mention gravy and biscuits, I want some. Bad, Cap.

Hell, you could have an entire meal with gravy on all of it. Chicken-fried steak, with a side of hash browns (country-style, which is the shredded kind) and a biscuit.

You can get that with an egg to boot at Denny's. It's pretty much my standard order if I end up there with friends at 1 AM when I'm not doing anything the next morning.

Regarding poutine: It really depends if you get the good stuff (as in, actually made in Quebec or locations closely bordering Quebec) for quality. I personally don't like cheese curds period, so I'm not a poutine fan, but...

Regarding gravy: Never had gravy on Shepherd's Pie. Gravy is the best food liquid you don't (usually) put in a glass. It's also the one thing that is still really good from KFC.

Regarding mayonnaise (on fries and in general): Only in moderation.

Gravy is a travesty that you do to your body. I still eat it, but fuck it is disgusting (remember, I hate my weak fleshy being). No argument will make this a good thing. Liking it is just another form of suicide. The same thing goes for Poutine except it is even more disgusting.

Australian food is shit, just saying since everyone seems to be defending their country's filth meals.

All food is trash except Chinese, and half the time that stuff's bad too.

*Just finished eating chopped up bits of chicken swimming in gravy... USED TO TOP BISCUITS AND MASHED POTATOES.*

Can you see the kind of regard I have for my eating habits?

There's an important difference here. Gravy is awful for you because it just turns out that way. It's its nature. And the things you put gravy with are meant to mitigate the grossness and, because gravy IS delicious when you get down to it, accentuate the good points. Poutine is something else. It's the way it is because people made it that way. And there's just no excuse for that.

The reason I eat things is closer to Grefter's justification for gravy than actual pleasure. The tastiness/healthiness ratio of things meant to be eaten (and the tastiness/healthiness ratio of things that -weren't- meant to be eaten, but we eat anyway because our body's potential for dumpstering is yet to be fully harnessed) is a critical unbalance that would make Kotori fanfic blush and the main thing keeping us all from living in eternal hunger strike is that we all would die if we didn't eat.

I like white gravy a lot with mashed potatoes and chicken fried steak. I am fine with this other weird gravy on some things but not french fries.

That's total rubbish. I know that, if we didn't need to eat, I'd still eat a hell of a lot (assuming I had the money to spare). Personally, I think eating is hideously under-rated. >.>

I totally enjoy eating, excellent tasty stuff. Though if we didn't need to eat I'd probably eat about as often as I'd go out to the movies. Which is to say, yeah I love it, but I'm frugal with my money and lazy about going out if I don't need to.

That really being the underlying point, I overexaggerate everything. The issue I have with eating is that, for something that's absolutely necessary, the nearly suicidal implements we added to it are quite a turn-off, and the more natural things tend to err on the side of the depressingly bland. And then, to circumvent the bland, the simplest solution often ends up being dipping it in utterly disgustingly poisonous junk to disguise the cardboard texture/taste (which makes me honestly not bother eating the things -at all-). Doesn't help personally that the few things I'm utterly passionate about regarding food (elaborate/artistic or industrial sweets, particularly) are the ur-poison to your organism, but that's just my meager experience.

That's a fine alternative.

Tea is acceptable, good water is better but a great tea is comparable.

Music, philosophy (math is a philosophy) and books.
