Re: FOOD AND DRINK: The Yin and Yang, of THAT FOODIE THANG!Yin: Its not only good for you, but it tastes so damn good. Just the right amount of fish taste, without being overpowering. And it tastes 'clean'.
Yang: When you get it fresh and there's a bit of shell you didnt notice. Notsonice. Also, if you get tinned crab which is shredded, it can be a bit bland and not taste of much without the right sorta seasoning.

Re: FOOD AND DRINK: The Yin and Yang, of THAT FOODIE THANG!YIN: Repels Doctors. Tastes lovely and sweet. Makes an insanely satisfying SCRRRMMPH noise when bitten into, followed by a "cha cha cha" chewing noise regardless of how quiet you try to be. Makes awesome crumble/pies.
YANG: The most default of all the fruits. A tad laborious to eat. Is abused by being paired with Pork.

Re: FOOD AND DRINK: The Yin and Yang, of THAT FOODIE THANG!Yin: Perfect snack, regardless of whether I'm at the movies or not. LOVE it.
Yang: Need..drink...NOW. Plus its so calorific and you'd never guess it. And you can get bloated quite easily if you eat too much!

Re: FOOD AND DRINK: The Yin and Yang, of THAT FOODIE THANG!YIN: If home-made or of the Metcalfe's/equivalent variety, it's FAR healthier than crisps. Can be really yumzers. Does that awesome squeaky thing when you chew on it.
YANG: Unpopped kernels raping my teeth. Not as good as sweet popcorn or Metcalfe's Wasabi popcorn. If bought from a cinema, a large serving has more calories and fat than an adult male should consume in a whole day. Not overly substantial and super saltiness can cause TURBO THIRST.

Re: FOOD AND DRINK: The Yin and Yang, of THAT FOODIE THANG!(Belgian Waffles)
YIN: Lovely sweet malty taste. When warm, creates an epic vortex for your ice cream to be sucked into, and little hollows for your ice cream to get trapped as pockets of sexy yummage. A fairly substantial pudding!
YANG: Incredibly high in fat if traditionally made. A Dry or Claggy waffle makes for a traumatic experience. I always feel slightly disappointed when "waffles" are mentioned and it's not Birdseye Potato Waffles, the nostalgically blissful megafood (they are, after all, waffley versatile).

Re: FOOD AND DRINK: The Yin and Yang, of THAT FOODIE THANG!YIN: I have a love for chocolate "bars" that come in roll/mini forms so I can graze on them throughout the day, it feels like they're lasting longer. Also I love the thick chocolate base. MELT.(Original post by TotoMimo)

YANG: i kinda find myself wishing the caramel wasn't there, then I guess they'd just be cadbury choco things. Just chocolate bar caramel disappoints me.

Re: FOOD AND DRINK: The Yin and Yang, of THAT FOODIE THANG!YIN: Potassium rocks the socks. A good, moist banana bread is delicious. The illusion of being somewhat healthy
YANG: The wrong consistency will ruin it. Not ACTUALLY healthy. The entire time eating it, you think "for these calories, fat and sugar, I could be eating cake..."

Re: FOOD AND DRINK: The Yin and Yang, of THAT FOODIE THANG!Yin: being mainly egg white, you can kind of say they're a "healthy option" pudding. Also, paired with CREAM and STRAWBERRIES they can offer a lovely crunch. Good texture addition.(Original post by TotoMimo)

Yang: On their own they're dry and boring. They crumble like a beehatch.

Re: FOOD AND DRINK: The Yin and Yang, of THAT FOODIE THANG!Yin: Not only is it quick and easy for basically any meal, but it can be topped with just about anything, from savoury to sweet.
Yang: If you dont make it right or the toaster has been left on Satan Setting, it's ruined and you have to go through the moral dilemma of making more and wasting or making do and suffering!

Re: FOOD AND DRINK: The Yin and Yang, of THAT FOODIE THANG!YIN: Intensely flavourful. Can be snacked on alone or as a topping, or even as part of a delicious pasta dish or kedgeree variant. I get to be all patriotic and big up Scottish cuisine some more.
YANG: As with most smoked foods, can be incredibly salty. You have to put up with all the infuriating intolerants in your proximity going "EW EW HOW CAN YOU EAT THAT EW SMELL IT EW LOOKS RANCID..."

Re: FOOD AND DRINK: The Yin and Yang, of THAT FOODIE THANG!Yin: It's quick, it's easy, it's studenty. It's good to eat from the can, or on a bit of toast, or just in a bowl with cucumber, or in a sandwich. Tuna in a tin is my saving grace.
Yang: It has the potential to STINK the kitchen out. CUE housemates going 'EW what's that smell....'

Re: FOOD AND DRINK: The Yin and Yang, of THAT FOODIE THANG!YIN: Cookies and Cream and Hershey's Symphony variants are actually awesome. "Hersheys" is a fun word to say.
YANG: Anything involving the regular chocolate tastes like baby sick. Smells like soured milk. Waxy consistency. "Hersheys", if said too much, is actually tedious.

Re: FOOD AND DRINK: The Yin and Yang, of THAT FOODIE THANG!Yin - the texture (that chewiness!) and the size - SO much better than biscuits. White chocolate version = omfg
Yang - the ones that're all brittle (smarties, i'm looking at you!) and just crumble and break. the disappointment! and the calories...

Re: FOOD AND DRINK: The Yin and Yang, of THAT FOODIE THANG!Yin: C'mon. CHOCOLATE. Perfect in the summer, when you want a cooling sweet/coffee hit. And it's Light, so no need to feel too guilty.(Original post by *custardcream)

Yang: Rubbish in the winter. If you want coffee, it's too sweet. If you don't like coffee, even a little taste will ruin your drink.

Re: FOOD AND DRINK: The Yin and Yang, of THAT FOODIE THANG!YIN: Works so well in a sweet shortcrust pastry or even on toast. It's one of the few "lemon" things I will happily choose over other-fruit equivalents. You get to make up rhymes that involve the word "turd".
YANG: If it's too tart, as with all lemony things, it sucks. That weird film that's always on the top when you open the jar up. It's not Chocolate Philadelphia.

Re: FOOD AND DRINK: The Yin and Yang, of THAT FOODIE THANG!Yin: Sometimes I like my sandwiches to look all cute and "high tea" so I cut off my crusts, this bread just makes it EAAAASY.
Yang: MY HAIRS WONT GO CURLY. plus...I like a crunchy crust on toast.

Re: FOOD AND DRINK: The Yin and Yang, of THAT FOODIE THANG!YIN: It can be rather tasty. Cheap. You get to justify owning a tin opener (no ringpull).
YANG: Can be very thin in consistency. Doesn't help justify owning that stupid Jamie Oliver Flavour Shaker.

YIN AND YANG OF: GINGER NUT BISCUITS?
Yin: They're STURDY. Flimsy biscuits insult me. They can be eaten alone, or equally paired well with a cup of tea. And when someone asks you if you want a biscuit and you say yeah, a ginger nut..you can't help but feel like a fun, crazy, risky bastard.
Yang: They're a bit dry. They don't have chocolate in them. Sometimes ginger can be overpowering.
