I'm a blue cheese dressing fan. Nothing more disgusting than the low fat varieties. Why do they think adding sweet is a good plan? Blue cheese dressing should never be sweet.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

With fugu, the risk of death is part of the thrill. Also, it doesn't involve sweet salad dressing, which is an abomination before the lord no matter what flavor they call it.

Bourdain was saying that some people ask the chef to leave a tiny bit of the poison in the fish so that they can feel the numbness.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hey, people take a little bit of something that would kill you in quantity for fun all the time.

Edit: too many clauses in there. People often take stuff for fun that would kill you in large quantities.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I have a rule about substances that do not belong together. I am still formulating this rule, but part of it says that CHEESE and SALAD DRESSING never, ever coincide in the same thing.

(You may grate cheese over your salad, and then put some salad dressing on, but that's not the same thing. Because I said so.)

Also, sour cream (which is practically cheese) and mayo (which is gross) should never go into the same thing either. That is like putting mayo on your mayo! How much mayo can one person need ?

I don't drink heavy cream right out of the carton, either. Isn't that basically what we're talking about, in terms of semi-liquid animal fats?

I just saw someone eating it on a Travel Channel extreme foods show this weekend, and apparently there's enough of the toxin in the fish's tissues to have that numbing effect even if it's correctly prepared.

What are your views on honey mustard or chinese chicken salad (rice vinegar, soy sauce, ginge,sesame oil & a little sugar) dressings?

Sour cream and mayo together make the best dips ever.

There are a number of sweet salad dressing that I enjoy. I eat salad for lunch just about every day, so variety is good. Raspberry based dressing is the yum, and I have a key lime variety (don't know if it is available other places) that is tangy and sweet and yummy. If I am eating out and the restaurant doesn't have a tasty sounding house dressing I'll go for blue cheese every time. Because tasty cheese!

eta: Honey mustard can be yum, but I prefer a spicer variety, some are too sweet.
