A thread of food where there's just NO point trying to MAKE it yourself

I lived in the cloudforest of Ecuador for three months. A mere 3 hours walk to the nearest village, but they didn't sell cheese. So we used to make lemon cheese drained in nylon stockings. Probably not great, but tasted brilliant after an afternoon of smoking pot.

Probably the best first line of any post I've seen on here for a time.

Proper chip shop fish and chips.

Yes, I can fry fish, probably in some sort of batter too, and can do a sort of chip. Not the same though.

supermarket pizzas are pretty rank aren't they? every time I have one I'm filled with a sense of disappointment. I wonder what Italians think of them other than "what the **** are they doing?"

Dough usually has too much air in it for me. Part of the crappiness is down to the cooking - normal domestic oven isn't hot enough. Try cooking one in a hooded gas barbeque at 350+ degrees.......much better

Beef Jerky - too much faffing about with dehydrators

They did sell little bags of 'roast'. A meat, cabbage and potatoes. Even the emaciated local dogs refused the meat. I'm thinking it may have been dog.

They're thinking "when that lot's sold...gulp"...
