Ya. Taco Bell ingredients are like the version of an item from an alternate universe with like… one degree of separation from our own. It’s like… the uncanny valley of food. Is this nacho cheese? Or is this make believe? That’s how it tastes. Like pretend food.

I actually don't mind modern south park, but it's not for everyone. It's a very different show now than what it was. I think it helps me that it's basically always remained the passion project of just two dudes, so even when there's dips in quality or changes to the humor/storytelling, there's still a consistent essence to it. It feels genuine at least. To compare it to simpsons, which at this point kind of just feels like a corporate shell of itself.

I went to a restaurant in Toronto half a dozen years ago that specialized in frou-frou tasting menus. One of the dishes was presented on "dirt". My GF asked me "Is that real dirt?", and I said "No, it can't be. It's probably bread crumbs or something. "

How wrong I was. It was real honest-to-god scraped from the ground dirt. The chef foraged personally for it in Ontario forests, looking from dirt near maples, and avoiding it from near pines (which has a turpentine taste, according to him).

Now I see a description like "soil", and I have to check!
