Don't bring a knife to a gunfight.

[–] spittingimage@lemmy.world 31 points 8 months ago

I'm cutting you both off. You've had enough.

[–] d00phy@lemmy.world 15 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Ok the gun fight comment got me! You win, good sir!

That second pic had to be in Maryland, right?

[–] d00phy@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

Crabs == Maryland!

[–] OneWomanCreamTeam@sh.itjust.works 14 points 8 months ago (1 children)

That's a whole fucking meal.

[–] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Also high risk of food borne illness.

That's what the alcohol is for: to sanitize it.

[–] TotalFat@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

No shit? That's a whole-ass mf chicken on there?

What’s that plastic thing?

[–] ShepherdPie@midwest.social 18 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

It's probably a LED light.

Edit: OP said it contains Worchestershire sauce

[–] kn33@lemmy.world 14 points 8 months ago

Kinda looks like the bulb of a disposable eyedropper. Don't know why, though.

Fortunately, the drink was pretty good.

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 14 points 8 months ago (1 children)
[–] d00phy@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Sort of? It’s a mini-baster with some Worcestershire in it. Waitress said enough customers don’t like it that they just use that. I, personally like it in there.

[–] Apollo2323@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Sorry but that looks disgusting.

[–] d00phy@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

They’re not for everybody.

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 10 points 8 months ago (2 children)

It's a bloody Mary, that one is honestly pretty tame compared to others I've seen.

[–] sxan@midwest.social 8 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Yeah, looks pretty normal. A good Bloody Mary makes a decent meal all by itself.

Buy what's in the plastic bulb, do you think? Don't tell me it's a little shot of beer; that'd be an insultingly tiny amount of beer.

[–] d00phy@lemmy.world 12 points 8 months ago (1 children)

The bulb was actually pretty cool. It has Worcestershire in it. Waitress said some people don’t like it. I am not one of those people.

[–] sxan@midwest.social 2 points 8 months ago

Ooooh, that's a great idea. When making Bloody Marys from scratch (almost scratch; I don't hand-make the vegetable juice base), Worcestershire sauce is mandatory.

[–] ShepherdPie@midwest.social 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It honestly looks like a Wish version of what you'd typically get with these. No seasoning to be seen on any of the toppings and the Bloody Mary itself looks like it was poured out of a premix container.

I go through phases. Like someone else said, a Bloody Mary is a meal in a glass. It’s really different from most cocktails. I also like a Bloody Caesar, but my family calls it a Clam Digger.

[–] troyunrau@lemmy.ca 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

In Canada, it's just a Caesar. And literally no one orders a Bloody Marie here (Caesars are basically our national drink now). We have egregious overproduced version like the above as well. Took this photo of a menu in Vancouver.

[–] d00phy@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (3 children)

That is equally crazy. I don’t get it. Seems like you’re getting food for the table with 1 drink.

Makes for great instagram pics

[–] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

They will save your life when you’re brutally hung over

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Because it tastes like a spicy V8 and not like alcohol.

I thought we, as a society, were over this ridiculous "drinking from jars" phase.

[–] Halosheep@lemm.ee 9 points 8 months ago

What's wrong with drinking from jars?

[–] JayleneSlide@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Edit: I meant to say, "There was a phase and I missed my one chance to be cool?!"

Phase? I grew up poor AF, so it was either jars or beat-up, cast-off Tupperware cups, and I always hated the feel of putting plastic to my mouth. Now that I'm grown (definitely not grown-up, though) and actually able to afford excellent glassware, jars are just a great way to reduce and reuse. I'm all about multiuse items, and jars are one of my favorites.

Lots of things come in straight-sided jars which maximize volume stored with volume consumed. The jar comes with a sealing lid. They tend to be durable since they have to survive shipping. I can make a big cocktail or some great food to give to a friend without worrying if my container comes back. Yeah, I'm Team Jar all the way.

[–] d00phy@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

I’m not a fan of it either. The rims are too thick to pick up the salt, and there’s not enough diameter to get enough salt for the whole drink. Plus, the curve from the jar to the rim makes it hard to get all of the drink without getting hit in the face by the remaining ice. Just a terrible cocktail glass.

[–] absentbird@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Why not just use the straw?

[–] d00phy@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

I don’t like using straws. Plus, it’s a salted rim - meant to pick up some salt when drinking the drink. Honestly, though, kind of surprised you’re the first person to point it out. I means, it’s right there in the picture!
