"The conservative chicken chain has angered its base. And all it took was adding a cruciferous vegetable to the menu."
Full disclosure: I like Chick-fil-A, at least as far as eating the food they make, all politics aside. I don't get anything from there often, maybe once every 3-6 months or so at most, but I like it pretty well. I personally think it's better than most of the alternatives in this area. (E.g. KFC, Zaxby's, Popeye's, etc.)
However, as far as the politics of a fast food chain go, Chick-fil-A is one of the least "woke" entities out there. As such, I'm fully okay with anyone who refuses to give them money due to their blatant homophobia. And so, to hear that even Chick-fucking-fil-A, of all things, is itself not safe from the asinine wrath of the anti-"woke" sleeping sheeple[1], especially when it's for such dumbshit reasons, it brings both a weary sigh and a slight smile of schadenfreude to my lips.
For what it's worth, good on Chick-fil-A for offering a meatless alternative. On the rare occasions that I eat anything from there in the future, I may even try this cauliflower sandwich. I tried Burger King's Impossible Burger and liked that okay, so maybe this will be passably decent as well. I like cauliflower, in general, though I'm not sure how much I'd like it all dolled up like a Chick-fil-A chicken sandwich.
[1] - I normally loathe the non-word "sheeple," but if there is any one group for whom it is appropriate as an insult, it would be the anti-woke crowd.

"Cheese Wars"
Feb. 12th, 2023 06:00 pmWhenever I get a meatball marinara sub from Subway, which is probably once a week or two (just ate the second half of a footlong today that I got yesterday, in fact), I usually get it with American cheese on it. It comes with Parmesan powder by default, but just that is not enough. I tried it with Provolone once, and that was okay too, but I'd just as soon have the American cheese. The only other option is Pepper Jack, which maybe be all right, too, but I haven't tried that yet. Wait, no, just checked the Subway website and Monterey Cheddar is another choice. Haven't tried that yet either.
I can tolerate Kraft Singles or whatever, on a thrown together sandwich or burger or something, but it's not the best. And yeah, it's not even technically "cheese."
Not sure whatever nasty block thing Woolie is talking about here, which he finally got around to explaining as why he hates American cheese so much.
Also, today is the first day I ever heard of the cheese reserve, so that's a thing, I guess.
