The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

Real talk: No one should ever have a V-8 other than extremely lazy Bloody Mary enthusiasts.

Speaking as a lazy Blood Mary enthusiast I disagree only about the "extremely" part.

(although my vegetarian sister who lives in Southern California apparently finds them extremely refreshing and the sodium much appreciated in Summer)

I suppose one could throw some Tapatio and Tajin into a V-8 and pretend it's a non-alcoholic michelada.

I like the way you think, sir. Though I think I'll include some cerveza in mine.

I was planning on margaritas tonight along with the homemade fried tacos and tacquitos, but I may be talking myself into a michelada instead.

 

[trappedslider]

me over here thinking why are you guys putting stuff in a V-8

A real conversation I had with a couple of coworkers.

Bob: "What the heck is a 'Michelada' anyway?"
Joe: "It's beer with tomato juice in it."
Bob: "What? That sounds vile!"
Me: "It's more like a Bloody Mary, but with beer instead of vodka."
Bob: "Oh. Well that doesn't sound so bad." (smacks Joe on the back of the head) "What kind of salesman are you?"

This dates back to prohibition. Here in the Midwest a lot of bars after prohibition ended, only carried low alcohol beverages like beer. So, instead of vodka in the bloody Mary, it was mixed with beer. Obviously, this has aged away and things are not so blue law as they used to be. Though, in the Midwest it is still common to offer a beer back with a bloody Mary that is now made with vodka.

If it wasn't for Bloody Marys, I wouldn't get any vegetables at all.

For real: there's a "cocktail" at a restaurant here called The Wet Salad. It's a Bloody Mary served in a goddamn fishbowl, with all the garnishes you can imagine: celery, carrot sticks, strips of bacon, boiled egg, a Slim Jim, asparagus, a whole dill pickle, I swear the thing weighs two pounds.

I looked online for a picture of it, but quickly realized that this is not unique to Portland. This cliché posing as a drink has spread everywhere:

From San Diego...

to Milwaukie...

...and everywhere in between.

Good lord. I think we can stop moaning about pineapple on pizza.
