Thread 21458246

Let's have a thread where we post about great things we've eaten that we can't get any more. It could be meals from restaurants that have closed, items from restaurants that have left their menus, dishes that a relative used to cook for you but the relative has died. Something you can't get any more, and you regret it deeply.

i used to eat this 18 year old girls pussy and i miss how tight it was around my toungue

Still legal. Follow your dreams.

I miss eggs and bacons
I cant afford it anymore

I miss fast food from the 90s/2000s.

I had an ice-cream shop near my parents house. They served the best icecream sodas ever, absolutely delicious, loved them so much. The place was owned and run by an Asian family. Miss that place.

God i wish i could fuck an 18 year old girl. Too bad I'm fucked in the head and think casual dating and premarital sex is a sin and dating must be done with the purpose of marriage in mind

A casualty of the kung flu. The grocery store next door (Tomato) is still open, though.

College town, legendary dive taco spot, the best greasy American-style mexican food. After 25 years they moved to a new location down the road, much larger, apparently trying to become a real restaurant. A year later they were out of business, never to return.

Near my old job, the best subs were from a sandwich counter in the back of a suburban liquor store. If I'm ever in that area again, I'd like to try it again, but (checking online) now:
>the subs cost $15 or more,
>they still add a surcharge for credit cards like it's fucking 1996
>and I doubt they've managed to maintain quality when so much else has gone to shit.

I miss when normal bacon wasnt 10 fucking dollars.
Also all of the bacon is injected with brine to increase package weight now, which makes them cook up all wet & chewy. And they are less than 50% meat now, it's all fat.

Local cafe changed staff often because the owner was a cunt to his staff and eventually closed down. Every so often he'd get a chef that really knew what they were doing. One guy did cajun shrimp and grits and I've been thinking about it since I last had it in 2019. Pic VERY related

When I was a teenager my debate coach took us to what he said was a thai restaurant on the second floor of some random boston building
I ordered what the menu called Empress Chicken not being able to read anything
What came was a chicken and vegetable dish with the most delicious brown sauce I've ever eaten in my goddamned life. I cannot describe to you how good this sauce was. Not overpowering, not thick and cloying, not super sweet or hot or sour, just making everything it touched fucking delicious.

I have no idea what it was or where to find it

Beans, legumes and rice.

i miss fast food being cheap. thats the main reason i almost never have it now. i used to get burger king on the way home from work on a regular basis, but that was over a decade ago. its so goddamn expensive and has outrun just inflation. people that eat fast food need to just stop for a while and it will get cheaper

>>21458446
Yeah, but the same girl 8 years earlier for me.

>>21459548
>I have no idea where to find it
I suggest checking the thai restaurant on the second floor of some building in boston.

>>21460073
on this topic burger king when I was a kid would sell sweet potato fries and lemonade every spring (or summer, i forgor) and I'd get sweet potato fries, and this burger and fries every time.

>>21458268
absolutely give them a 1 star for that.

>>21458379
Wasn't the minimum wage about 5 bucks then too?

>>21460042
Yeah bro let me just fly over to boston and ask around about a second floor restaurant that existed somewhere in the city 20 years ago like I'm fuckin' Ryo Hazuki

>>21460078
Sweet potato fries are weird to me. I very much like them until I don't. I could eat regular fries for ever, but sweet potato fries I can only get through like, half a potato's worth and then I'm done. I'm not full, i have no issue finishing whatever else I may be eating, I'm just done with the sweer potato.

There was a place called CW's BBQ in Florida. It was a smokey rat hole with absolutely good barbeque, nothing mind blowing or amazing but it was the most important place to me because it was something I did with my family, pretty rarely at that. Dude died, business sold, all the other local businesses are being run out by high prices and unaffordable food costs, but that place lives on in my memory. I can barely remember the taste but I can for sure remember the smell.

>>21460089
yeah and 5 bucks actually a lot for a single fast food item in the 90s. it wasn't until the mid 2000s that a 5 dollar sub was considered a good deal. a super sized meal at mcdonalds was like 3.50 and taco bell had decent burritos full of meat for less than a dollar

>>21458246 (OP)
I live in an oppressive country where Ricicles have been banned. I miss them

>>21458246 (OP)
for me its the $1.39 value picks menu at mcdonalds
$3 for a jr chicken and mcdouble is probably peak human existance

Prince noodles in the Singapore University of Technology and Design. It is the best noodles I have ever had. I long for their noodles.
Good times.

>>21458473
That Oscar Mayer thick cut pack is $7.48 here.

All the good chinese buffets that used to be around. The ever increasing amount of fats and blacks atr them all out of busy.

Just make it yourself.

My favorite mexican restaurant closed because the owner sold the property it was on for $7 million, said he would reopen and never did. I had been eating there for 34 years. I did find another place that is about 99% the same after trying almost every mexican restaurant in my city.

There was some company that made burritos and they were sold at 7-11's and at one point the price clubs in my city only. they were the best burritos I ever had. Generous big chunks of meat, a perfect red chili sauce, and no beans. then one day they disappeared and it seems the company went out of business.

Real smoked bacon like you could get before the 80's. no grocery store bacon I can find is actually smoked anymore (or at all). not smoke flavored, real super smokey bacon. I have to order real bacon from places on the internet. The place I used to get it from "father's" went out of business as the owner retired, so now I have to get it from Bentons.

Been to Yasuda in Tokyo many times, even before Bourdain hyped it up, really sad the shop closed during COVID. Just purely consistent quality with his omakase and the fish selections were always really interesting. Yasuda-san was such a fun dude, one time I ended up going to his bar after the last serving and had some drinks. Hope he's enjoying retirement.

Haven't been able to get quite the experience at Japanese omakase since it closed, but my Japanese is basic, im sure there are great places if you're native.

sub place called Apetitos. last one closed in the late 80's. may have only been in my city, possibly a money laundering chain of restaurants or something. no other sub has come close. other subs are good, but none are like the ones I had from there.

>>21458473
>than 50% meat now, it's all fat.
yeah, you just described bacon, not ham.

local mexican place which was number 2 mexican place sold the place to some asians when the original owners retired.

they started trying to chineseify the place and the food started changing and was not the same. it closed about 1 year later if that.

I don't live in Canada anymore but I miss Swiss Chalet, especially the dipping sauce.

Noodle Gourmet on Easton Street in New Brunswick NJ. Was run by couple from Hong Kong, amazing noodle dishes. Couple retired, gave business to grandson, quality is still good, but the taste is just not the same. Last time I tried it the taste has improved, so maybe, the grandson will eventually get on par with granddad.

I miss the prices from that era

>>21462251
I've bought cannisters of mix for the sauce so have a look. I'm sure it's just some combination of onion and garlic powder that you could fuck around and do yourself.

In an upscale shopping district in my city there was a seafood restaurant that primarily served lobster rolls but also did a fair amount of other seafood stuff. On the menu they had a fried fish sandwich that was incredibly delicious. Unlike a lot of fried fish sandwiches, this one had a slice of cheddar cheese on top of the fried filet. It was basically an upscale Filet-O-Fish, and it was delicious. It turns out the Filet-O-Fish is like the Big Mac: a great recipe that's held back by subpar fast food ingredients. This sandwich was basically an upper-class Filet-O-Fish and it was the best fish sandwich I'd ever had.

The restaurant closed a year ago. I'll never have that sandwich again.

There was this little Chinese restaraunt with shifty plastic tables and seating around my city it looked kinda run down but was family owned. They would cook the best claypot Chinese sausage and chicken. And would serve it with this chicken broth that you'd put around the sides of the clay pot to turn over the burnt rice, it was the best comfort Meal. They closed down when covid hit because the couldn't afford the rent, and I've.never tasted anything like it since

My favourite Chinese place had the owners retire and the kids take over. Now the food is much worse. They even started using pasta instead of Chinese noodles.

I had a Taiwanese-American girlfriend for a long time. I did most of the cooking and she was easily impressed by easy American dishes like meatloaf and mashed potatoes but once in a while she would cook typical Chinese dishes that I can't seem to replicate partly because I can't be bothered to stock a full Asian pantry to cook for myself
