Oh, tsokolate. This is the ultimate comfort drink. What's great is that you can make it as thick or as thin as you like. It's a staple in our new year's eve dinner, great with cheesy, buttery ensaymada!

@Pauper Nick I used to do my eggs like you when cooking Chinese food, but then observed the cooks at our local greasy spoon, open-kitchen Chinese diner just cracking the eggs on top of the fried rice when it was almost done frying, a few quick stirs, then removing the whole finished dish from pan once egg had set up. It works great! That's how I always do my eggs in fried rice now - none of this need for a separate egg bowl or breaking it up with a spoon. The raw egg sets and cooks within about 20-30 seconds in a hot pan full of fried rice, and the end result looks just the same.

Ever tried it like that?

would fish sauce be an acceptable substitute for oyster sauce?

My favorite recipe consists of a couple of spoonfulls of sugar, condensed milk and 7up.
Put the sugar in a tall glass add some condensed milk. Stir the mixture and then add the 7up or coca-cola.

@ Ms. Carey Jones: "...Tuna Pie (erk) at Jollibee in the Philippines..." -- don't knock it 'til you've tried...it's quite good. "...and in the Philippines, sweet tomato pasta with hot dogs is sold as "McSpaghetti."" -- McDonald's didn't sell spaghetti when it first opened here in the 1980s but Jollibee did. Jollibee sold Filipino-style spaghetti (sweet, with hotdog slices and "ham") and was selling a lot of it, which is why McD got on the bandwagon. But McD's first spaghetti offering was "Italian"-style (a bit sour but also with hotdog slices), which didn't go over well with 99% of the population, which led McD to reformulate their spaghetti sauce to it's until it got to its current formula...sweet and with hotdog slices. ;-)

I just got back from Thailand and at the soft serve counter at a KFC they had a sweet corn sundae! Cold creamed corn on the bottom, a layer of ice cream, corn kernals and more creamed corn and a top layer of ice cream. yeah, it was pretty bad, but made a good photo opportunity.

Rubio's All American Taco

There's a pizza chain in Thailand that has the most disgusting pizza I've ever seen. Remember the cheese stuffed-crust pizza? Okay, it's like that but imagine inside the crust is a sausage/hot dog with a tube of neon cheese running through its middle.

The ads showing the cut-away of the crusts used to give me the shakes. They looked sooo gross.

To top it off, the pizza usually had corn on it!

"loose meat" is just about the grossest phrase in the world.
gotta say, its weird whenever taco bell puts bacon in some new product. right now they have some kind of bacon burrito. it seems like there isnt really bacon in it, just some kind of bacony sauce or flavoring. the bacon crunchwrap supreme is bizarre but tasty... theres bacon glued in with the cheese that holds the crunchy shell and the gordita shell together. mmm... fat.

Beetroot and egg are staples of burgers with the lot in Australia. Lookup the McOz sometime on google...

I agree on the cost issue - a single mass-produced sausage topped with curry ketchup should NOT cost $6, even in this economy. $3-4 might be fair... But that's not going stop me from trying one to see if it holds a candle to the real deal. I find that the type of sausage (and how it's cooked) makes or breaks the dish as much as the sauce does. Oh and any of you lushes out there, consider holding off until the day after a long, drunken night out. It's been my experience that currywurst almost never tastes better or is more satisfiying than when desperately hungover.

I lived in Germany for two years and LOVE currywurst. On our honeymoon, Berlin was the first stop; I took my wife on a curry-tour. It was great! If you go to Berlin, the most important curry places are: First, Kurfurstendamm 195 (colloquially called Ku'damm 195), was the best of the bunch. Second, Konnopke's, on the east side, is supposedly where the dish was invented. And third, "Witty's" on the Wittenbergplatz, offers an organic currywurst.

No worcestershire sauce!! Why would there be an English sauce in this English dish? Slightly sweet ketchup plus curry powder plus good paprika. That's all.

Most places in Berlin don't use any specal curry sauce, they just cut up the wurst, squirt on some ketchup over it - usually Heinz - and then sprinkle curry powder over it. Konnopke's rules, but that's because it is right under the Metro station near my friend's house when I stagger home from a night out.
