I was a picky eater growing up. My wife expanded what I eat thankfully.

Our kids eat what we do, and if we are in an ethnic restaurant, they eat that type of food. That means that burgers, fries, corn-dogs, grilled cheese and mac & cheese are not options when we are at a Thai, Mexican, Indian or whatever restaurant.

The downside to that is I have to pay up because my kids eat sushi now.

I do have issues with cilantro and uncooked unions. With onions it is a texture issue, and Cilantro just tastes wrong to me.

So has everyone become too mature in this thread, or has everyone just forgotten to be dirty, or was it simply too easy?

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too easy.

There is this thread and the only thing easier it my mom.

I left that one right out there, sitting back waiting for someone to pluck that low-hanging fruit. Thanks for LPCing on Haven's thread.

Yeah, I was wondering when someone would bite.

Impossible Whopper is terrible. Don't bite!

Also, there is this theory out there that people naturally have a bias toward that which they experienced first. I've seen it applied to song remakes and so forth.

Doctor Who is a good example. Yeah, Tom Baker was the first Doctor to whom I was exposed, but I also believe he is demonstrably the best. I have liked all the new guys up to the old dude. I haven't watched any of his episodes. But I think Baker had the best quirks and character.

Roger Moore, however, was my first Bond, though. And I IMMEDIATELY liked Connery better when I started watching those. I think Brosnan was the best, but that's mostly because I think Goldeneye is the best Bond movie.

Random, but good post.

Moore was my first Bond, and I will admit to fondness for his particular brand of charm. But I rate him pretty low overall.

Goldeneye is a fine movie and Brosnan is a fine Bond, but neither are my top picks.

I read the books and became attached to the idea that Bond is self-loathing and covers that up with alcohol, work, and women. And for that, Daniel Craig nails it best. But charm-wise he's lacking a bit. Probably my favorite Bond.

Dalton got the short end of the stick, only getting two movies before production issues shut down the series for a while. Goldeneye was written for him, and I think he would have killed it. The Living Daylights is one of the most underrated Bond movies and License to Kill is a bit of a blunt instrument, but pretty entertaining throughout.

I need to go back and watch those Bond movies.

My friends (who are not vegans or vegetarians) are saying that the impossible burger is actually pretty good.

I'm currently hungry for waffles.

I'd like to try an impossible burger, but as its own creator said-- if it doesn't succeed on taste or (unsubsidized) cost, it won't succeed at all.

There is definitely a parity between the book Bond and an idealized Bond that people who have not read the books *think* Bond is.
I think that most of the people who have read the books pretty much agree that the movie portrayals which most closely resemble the book are the actors never mentioned when someone is asked "Who is the best Bond?"
I've had impossible burgers from multiple regular establishments, and I've had the impossible Whopper.
It is a fairly close approximation, though preparations of the burger do play into it.

I cannot argue against this.
My only gripe is the lack of an attractive Bond girl.
Xenia is the femme fatale. While she is one of the best looking females in any Bond movie, I don't count her as a "Bond girl" as I see that category applying to the females who not the villains.
Natalia is not my cup of tea.

Otherwise, that one checks of the entire list of everything one wants to see in a Bond film.

Goldeneye also had Jean Grey and Boromir in it!

This is possibly the best comment on anything I've posted ever.

That's exactly what I am shooting for.
