Gayest Foods Ever
« on: January 13, 2007, 06:11:12 am »
Well, lately I've been obsessed with another film -- which is, Little Miss Sunshine, of course.  And every time I watch it, I anxiously await the part where Steve Carrell (who plays a scholarly homosexual) goes into the convenient store to buy Grandpa Hoover his porn.  And I love this part, because it is at this point in the movie where Steve Carrell purchases what I am now convinced to be the gayest beverage in the history of time:  a blue raspberry slushie.

I'm not sure if it's the way he says it (because he says it hilariously, in my opinion)... or the fact that he innocently buys it along with a stack of heterosexual pornography... but there's just this gayness about it.  -- Don't get me wrong, I love blue raspberry slushies!

So, when I think about this... I think of those stereotypical masculine foods that are identified with manly men -- like hot wings, or beef jerky, or beer.  And I was just wondering if anyone wanted to brainstorm what sort of falls under the category of "gay cuisine."

I know recently Stephen Colbert was talking about how gay baby carrots are.

Here's hoping that no one takes offense to this, and that people find it fun coming up with a list of ideas.

P.S.  It's really late.  Cut me a break.

All right, David, since you started this:  Strawberry Quik is pretty gay.  I mean, pink milk?

Pesto, arugula, and broccoli rabe. Not sure which of these is gayer than the other two.

Oh, yeah, and vodka that's any color except clear. ...

David,

I never thought of Tom Collins as particularly gay.  However, it was my introduction to alcohol.  A Catholic high school trip to Ireland, at the age of sixteen.  We were there in February, where they rolled up the sidewalks at 7:30.  So, we drank in the hotel bar.  My best friend was no stranger to alcohol, and tried to get me interested.  I didn't care for the taste of beer back then.  My friend suggested gin, and the most palatable gin came in the form of a Tom Collins:  sweet and tangy at the same time.  

I don't think I've had one since.  But the deed is done...

Actually, I'm not sure if it is either. It was a joke. People always said only women ordered Tom Collins. Therefore if a man ordered one...... well, there it is.

I still order Tom Collins, and I DO get strange looks if I order one outside a gay bar. So, maybe there's some truth to it after all!  :)

Alright, I'm going to admit I'm offended by the title of this topic.  If it was "Frou frou-est" Food Ever," or sumpn, that would be different to me.  But the word "gay" now means "homosexual."  It doesn't mean "rarified urban dandy, partially stuck in the 1950s."  It's too broad a term to be mocked this way without lumping a huge bunch of people into one type.  Not many gay people are actually recreating a Truman Capote dinner party when they sit down to eat every night.  (Not that he probably served Strawberry Quik...)

Shall we start a thread called "Blackest Food Ever?"  I think they all like fried chicken and watermelon, don't they?

And I'm not lacking a sense of humor - I see what's inherently funny about a list that includes chiffon cake and mimosas, trout almondine and drinks with little umbrellas in them.  Would Jack and Ennis get this list?  If they don't, are they then not-gay?

And what about all the gay women in the world?  Are they included in this brie and arugula-fest?

To conclude my courageous stance to speak up when some of my favorite gay and non-gay people have joined in the humor, I will briefly recap - the only part I mind is the word "gay" being used as the descriptor.


Good, now that I have spoken up to friendly folk, it will be easier the next time it's UNfriendly folk I need to speak up to about their stereotyping.

...funny post, really. Definitely, in this sterotyped world, the ONLY way to ascertain if a male is a TRUE male or NOT is: does he drink black coffee, strictly without sugar? Beware of ANY pretend male who only drinks tea or milk...
Just one question: if mimosa - as I said - sounds gay, ordering a "buck's fizz" would sound more masculine?

(Feel better now, Clarissa? Hope so, Little Darlin'!)

Well, I can look myself in the eye now. :)


What on earth is jellied madrilene (or even unjellied madrilene, for that matter)?


Here's a cute description of it I just found:

Jellied Madrilene

The Description :
A cold soup that is salty, sweet and tangy at the same time. Don't omit the lemon at the end - that is what makes all the difference.

The Recipe :
Take one can of Campbell's Beef Consome and refrigerate it overnight. Open the can and dump gelled form into a soup bowl. I recommend Stangl's Golden Blossom as the dinnerware pattern of choice for this presentation. The creamy beige background flecked with brown and the signature brown rim is most complimentary to the cool, translucency of the consome. Here is where the artfulness comes into play. Use a fork to disturb the can-shaped soup until it resembles a mound of rough 1" cubes. The cubes should have a careless lack of precision about them; do not make them look as if they came out of an ice-cube tray. Squeeze 1 -2 teaspoons of fresh lemon juice over the top of the mound and garnish it with a two overlapping lemon slices that are thin
enough to read through. Use one single parsley leaf for an accent.

The Review:
Our panel of judges went to the test kitchens and gave this report:
The Mister: " What the hell is that?"
The College Man: "No, Ma.I'm not eating beef jello."
The Teen Queen: declined to participate.
The Cook: I don't care. I like it. It really does taste good, and even if it didn't, this is a fine example of the
Number One Rule around here: If it looks good, you will think it tastes good.



Back to Clarissa:
My experience of it was in the early and mid-60s in the Edwardian Room and the Palm Court at the Plaza Hotel.  While my mother and I lived on TV dinners in a one-bedroom apartment in one part of Manhattan, my godparents lived in a multi-room golden palace-ette in another part of Manhattan. 

Three or four times a year, my godmother would disdainfully peel my real clothes off of me, bedeck me with a frou-frou outfit from Saks or Best, and take me to one of the finer restaurants, where I learned the difference between a cream soup spoon and a consomme spoon. 

Jellied Madrilene was a palate-cleanser between courses.  It was served (OF COURSE!) with a consomme spoon in a consomme cup (a little dainty handle on each side).  It's (as the description above says so well) soft beef jello, very cold, with wafer thin lemon slices atop.  Don't confuse it with a finger bowl, served in a simlar bowl, also with the wafer thin lemon slices!  Depending on how I remember it, it's delicious, or gross.

I haven't eaten it for nigh on 40 years...

And could you go another 40 years without eating it?

I'm not sure what seems gayer, the stuff itself or that recipe. "The cubes should have a careless lack of precision. ..."  :laugh: First time I ever saw a recipe that included a recommendation of a china pattern!  :laugh:

Apologies if you were offended, Clarissa.

As a Sociology major that discusses stereotypes in classes, I'm used to being a little bit too open about these types of things.  It always seems that there's a common understanding for where these things are in our society and our apathy (so to speak) is pretty much a "goes without saying."

And, as one would expect, I was overwhelmingly fine with the suggested "blackest foods ever" topic.  I would have to add orange soda to the brief, but stereotypically accurate, list that you so eloquently provided us with.  And cornbread.

I don't understand how it could possibly be offensive... I love fried chicken!  I guess I hold that opinion about this entire topic in general.  There can only be that negative connotation if you give it one.  What's wrong with liking Tom Collinses?  Nothing, I say!

But back on topic.  I'm surprised that this has actually generated the discussion it has.  I was anticipating it to be lost in the abyss of the BetterMost archives.

Because I hate beer, I'm often given funny looks at campus parties when I pull out the effiminate Mike's Hard Lemonade.  *shrugs*  At least it doesn't taste like beer.

I, too, thought this was a bit bizarre as a topic.  Having taken Sociology myself, though many stereotypes are based in fact, this sort of topic is like asking "What are the traits of a man and what are the traits of a woman" and expect an answer.

BTW, my last boyfriend first thought I was bisexual or a lesbian because in his experience only lesbians took water with lemon.   ??? ??? ???

I'll have to add my voice to those who were offended. I just didn't even look at the thread for a while because I wasn't crazy about the title.

Back to Tom Collinses. The very first time I ordered a drink in a bar, the legal drinking age was 18 and I was 16. My friend, who was 17, knew of this place that was known to be pretty slack about asking for IDs. When we got there, I had no idea what to do. "Just order a Tom Collins," my friend hissed. So I did. The waitress brought it. We sucked down our drinks through the straws -- it was pretty good! -- and got the heck out of there.

Years later, I worked as a cocktail waitress and laughed whenever I remembered that night. Tom Collins? I might as well have pasted a giant neon UNDERAGE sign on my forehead.

Good Lord Clarissa, it sounds like they worry more about the china than the soup (it is soup, isn't it?)

This would never happen in Indiana, I can promise you. We're meat and potatoes out here. Slap it on a plate, dump a little A-1 on it and dig in.  :)

There might not be any difference, if you order it in the US. From wikipedia:

Bucks Fizz is an alcoholic drink made with orange juice and champagne and grenadine.

The drink is named after London's Bucks Club where it was invented, and first served, by one of its barmen, Mr McGarry, in 1921.

Buck's Fizz is the English version of the French Mimosa, and predates the Mimosa by 3 years.

Note: Although the version listed here, with grenadine, may be the original usage, most British people will understand 'Buck's Fizz' to refer to a mixture of orange juice and champagne; i.e. it is the usual British term for what Americans would call a 'Mimosa'.

Sometimes, where real Champagne is not available or cannot be afforded, a sparkling white wine or perry is used in its place.

Gee. Here I was thinking of the elk Ennis shot and thinking "Buck's Fizz" was actually "Buck's Whiz." Now that would definitely NOT be gay!  ;D

Is Smurf Pee and Blue Hawaii's the same drink?  I remember ordering Smurf Pee drinks at the bars back in the '80s.

Those were definately gay.

Well...I went searching to find out the ingredients in a Smurf Pee and found out there is a whole panopoly of Smurf drinks, including:

# Smurf
# Smurfette
# Smurfette On The Rag
# Smurf Juice
# Smurf Pee
# Smurf Pee #2
# Smurfs Envy
# Smurf Sperm
# Smurf With Hemarrhoids

as well as the Smashed Smurf.

The one commonality is that they all share blue curacao as ingredient, hence the name, I guess (blue = smurf). They all seem to involve alot of alcohol, designed to get you smashed in a hurry. Is that gay? You tell me. Seems to be more a characteristic of youngish men.

Reading the recipes, a Blue Hawaiian and a Smurf Pee seem to have subtle differences. Good to know, I guess, when you go into professional bartending.

Now, maybe this qualifies as a gay drink: Gay Puerto Rican Rockstar In A Velvet Business Suit

In case any one is curious, here's the recipe:

Whiskey, Canadian (Black Velvet)   3/4 oz.
Rum, orange   1 oz.
Pineapple Juice   1 oz.
Energy Drink (Rockstar)   1/4 can

Shake ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice. Strain into glass.

Enjoy...maybe? LOL

In this case, I'd say youngish gay men. In my day--college days--30 years ago--youngish straight men just drank great quantities of beer in short spans of time to get smashed in a hurry. At least, that's what they did where I went to school. But maybe times have changed?

Back in "the day" (early 1980's) they had "Drink and Drown" every Wednesday night at one of the bars I went to. $5 to get in, and all the well drinks you wanted from 8:00 pm - 3:00 am. The place would be totally packed, and it was a fairly large bar (3 levels).

Yeah, I got pretty damn drunk a few times. (Well, more than a few times actually)  :P

If you told me your grandmother drinks sidecars, I'd say your grandmother was pretty cool.

My grandmother rarely drank, but she liked grasshoppers:  I don't know if it's gay, but it's pretty old-lady.  Vodka, creme de cacao, cream and green creme de menthe.  Yuk.

Ah, Paul, just for you:

GRASSHOPPER PIE


First came the grasshopper cocktail, a sweet digestif the essential ingredients of which are green (thus the grasshopper) crème de menthe, white crème de cacao, and cream; then, in the sixties, came the eponymous pie, which always has a crust of either cookie or graham cracker crumbs and is served chilled.

For the crust
1 1/2 cups fine chocolate wafer crumbs (about 30 wafers)
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, melted

For the filling
1 1/2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
1 1/3 cups well-chilled heavy cream
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup green crème de menthe
1/4 cup white crème de cacao
4 large egg yolks

grated mint-flavored chocolate (available at specialty foods shops) for garnish

Make the crust:
In a bowl stir together the wafer crumbs, the sugar, and the butter until the mixture is combined well, pat the mixture onto the bottom and up the side of a buttered 9-inch pie plate, and bake the crust in the middle of a preheated 450°F. oven for 5 minutes. Let the crust cool.

Make the filling:
In a metal bowl sprinkle the gelatin over 1/3 cup of the cream and let it soften for 5 minutes. Whisk in the sugar, the crème de menthe, the crème de cacao, and the egg yolks, set the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, and cook the mixture, whisking constantly, until it registers 160°F. on a candy thermometer. Transfer the bowl to a larger bowl of ice and cold water and stir the mixture until it is cooled and thickened. In another bowl beat the remaining 1 cup cream until it holds stiff peaks and fold it into the crème de menthe mixture thoroughly.

Pour the filling into the crust and chill the pie for 4 hours, or until is set. Sprinkle the pie with the grated chocolate.

Hugs,

L

That reminds me of a long time ago when I went out for drinks with some friends. One of the guys ordered a creme de menthe and I remember another guy making a remark about it. I don't remember the remark itself but he was implying it was a gay drink. Well that the guy was gay - which I think he was - but he never came out while I knew him.

Any of those chocolatey minty kind of after dinner drinks are pretty gay. How did we switch to drinks when we were talking about food?

Just an opinion here:

I think we are using the words gay and man in a very peer-pressure manner here, as in real life.

People who ignore the "manly" rule of drinking dark brown strong drinks are thought os as weak and wimpy.
If you have a fruit flavored drink, a minty drink or a nicely colored drink you are thought of as weak and wimpy, and lacking in character.

If you only drink drinks from a select macho list, then you are thought of as being strong and manly.

But actually the opposite is true.
The weak and wimpy man is sthe one who refuses to taste these gay drinks because he's afraid of peer pressure.
The strong charactered person tries the fruity, minty, colored drinks and decides himself if he likes it.

When I see a "guy" "enjoying" his dark brown drink (and maybe like Mr. Furley he says COOL! SMOOTH!  and screws up his face), I see someone who has sold out and consumes to prove a point.  He is the character-less wimp.

When I see a "man" really enjoying some pretty, nicely flavored drink I see a man who says "I like this, do you have a problem with that bitch?"

Which "man" has the most strength of character?
Yes we are talking about character here.

OOPs -back to the list of gay and non-gay foods.

mmm a huge steak, now that's manly - but not those pretty little mushrooms.
Salad with cute fancy-cut veggies sitting on a smear of vinaigrette - GAY GAY GAY

just an opinion, think about it.

I certainly agree with most everything you said.  Now the steak and mushroom theory present a conundrum for me.  Last night's menu was a grilled Delmonico steak and baked stuffed mushrooms...so does that make me half gay, or just codfused  ;D

Your dessert carries on with the stuffing theme, and since the coating is like the stuffing, you are very transparent in your desires.

Can't stand that man.  Just wanna slap his republican mug.  Now put Jason Varitek on it and I would eat it much faster.

I don't like Curt Schilling either. He used to be one of our Phillies, ya know? The most polite thing I can say is, Smug and full of himself.

I think I remember seeing a photo of Jason Varitek somewhere. Or, was he one of the Sox who got a make-over on "Queer Eye"? I just remember thinking, Hmmmm. ...

I remember the Schaefer jingle.  How about Miller and Bud:

(Sung sort of sleazily, like you might sing "Hey Big Spender")
"If you've got the time
We've got the beer
Miller beer
Miller tastes too good to hurry through
When it's time to relax
Miller stands clear
Beer after beer
If you've got the time
We've got the beer!"

(Sung heartily)
"When you say Bud,
You've said a LOT of things noBOdy else can say
When you say Bud,
You've said you CARE enough to Only want the KING of beers
When you say Bud-wei-ser,
You've said it all"

Ah, Petit Fours!

Petit fours--"small ovens"--were a way for pâtissiers to use up leftovers while the ovens cooled down at the end of the day's bake.

While petit four can refer to any bite-sized sweet presented at the end of a meal, they're usually tiny, beautifully iced cakes. Petit fours are traditionally made with an almond sponge cake, or joconde, but they can be any flavor of cake--and filling--you choose.

With a seemingly infinite variety of shapes, flavors and decoration, you can dress these little cakes up for a tea party, a bridal shower, or an elegant luncheon. A tray full of delectable and beautiful petit fours turns any event into an extraordinary occasion.

heheheheh.

There basically just little individual sized sponge cakes with a little icing on top.

They often have another little bit of fairy cake on the top of the icing that look.. I suppose  like a pair of wings.



You would call them cupcakes I believe.

How would "vol-au-vents"  or "savarins" or "vacherins" classify? It seems as if most French cuisine foods (just like quiches) naturally tend to be categorized as gay items, probably because of their implicit aura of sophistication or simply because their name sounds exotic, and French sounds - by common perception - more a "feminine" than a "masculine" language. Am I going too far...??

So I Googled the phrase "gay food."  The first thing here is an article I enjoyed. 

The Gay Man's Guide to Dinner
http://observer.guardian.co.uk/foodmonthly/story/0,,1637622,00.html


The second thing I approached with trepidation - it's the following question on a Christian forum: "If you were in a restaurant and you found out the chef was gay, would you eat their food?"   There are 8 pages of replies to the question.  I read the first 3 pages.  Over and over, the responses boiled down to "Of course, duh."  One person replied with "Gay firefighters - would I let them save me?"  All in all, a very optimism-inducing attitude to find among Christians.

Gay Cooks - Would You Eat Their Food?

Meryl, I want that cream puff.

Last night, I was informed that Real Men  don't drink wheat beer, and they certainly do not use decaffeinated coffee to wash away the not-masculine-enough taste.

(This was from a man whose idea of good beer is Coors, so.)

(Meanwhile, I was drinking a stout.)

I'm not much of a beer drinker myself, but I think the Guinness black & tan is an example of a stout. I gave up alcohol for Lent so my drink of choice is water right now.

Real women drink white wine. Then they leave it men's refrigerators. Kind of like marking territory.

(The Guiness part of a black and tan is a stout. Very dark, not hoppy at all.)

Well, it's not as if I drink either one by the case...

(Actually, at the gathering last night, I had one glass of shiraz, tried to get a projector working, listened to a bunch of people gab, and then drank a bottle of stout while I ate dinner. So actually, I have been known to drink both wine and beer at the same four-hour gathering.)

Ennis del Mar wakes before five, wind rocking the trailer, hissing in around the aluminum door and window frames. The shirts hanging on a nail shudder slightly in the draft. He turns on the tap and urinates in the sink, pulls on his shirt and jeans, his worn boots, stamping the heels against the floor to get them full on...

I don't remember when the sink-peeing worked its way into this thread, but it has a habit of coming up in almost any conversation if some of the Open Forum regulars post in a thread...

That sounds like you were OK. You had food. You spread it out. You weren't guzzling like a frat boy at a party--like one of my college roommates who mixed too much wine and beer and then got sick in his bed in our dorm room.  :-X

That sounds like you were OK. You had food. You spread it out. You weren't guzzling like a frat boy at a party--like one of my college roommates who mixed too much wine and beer and then got sick in his bed in our dorm room.  :-X

I don't know that mixing was the problem, just the "too much." I have know people to drink to much beer and get sick ... but that was a long, long time ago.

I suppose I count as a real woman and my drink of choice is wine these days. But in my wild and crazy youth, I was know to enjoy gin and tonics.

Well, you're a nurse. Don't "they" say you should never "mix" wine and beer? That's what I was always told.

Gin and tonic is "wild and crazy"?  :laugh:  :laugh:  :laugh:

Tell you what, you can say that again!

That roommate, he owed me ... for having to put up with the smell, and for the loan of a clean pair of sheets!

Yuck, but I think the key part here is not "wine and beer" or even "too much," but "college."

I make no claims to be a real lady, so I drink wine, beer, martinis, margaritas ... just about anything in front of me. Separately, together, whatever. But I try to be a bit measured about it. More so than in college, anyway.

He DID owe you.  I am certain that I never had a spare set of clean sheets tidily waiting for me when I was in college.

My mother made sure of that.

I make no claims to be a real lady.

I think the entity in question was "real woman," and I suppose that may not be the same thing as a "real lady"?  ;D

Yeah, she made sure of it. One pair of sheets for on the bed and one pair of sheets for in the laundry.  :D
