Tomato juice

[SNOWBALL]

I like it, but it's not really to be had if you are thirsty, which makes it a very strange beverage indeed. The damn stuff is just sooo salty!

I can eat ketchup plain, but don't like tomato juice. Sunday morning bars seems to be able to serve alcohol before 8 AM on Sunday (or something as crazy) if they serve it mixed with juice - so bloody mary's and mimosa's are popular, but I always go mimosa.

I love V8/tomato juice. With a little hot sauce Mmmm mmm... haha

The relevance is you've never tasted a Bloody Mary. The rest is decidedly irrelevant.

Have you ever seen someone prepare a steak? It's [censored] disgusting, with all the blood-like juice splashing everywhere. But, shockingly, steaks taste goot.

First, preparing a steak involved very little blood unless your preparation starts with a living cow. Second, there's a big difference between unprepared food that is cooked (chemically altered) during preparation and food that is not, clearly steak falls into one category and a bloody mary falls into the other. Third, there's a strong correlation between smell and taste and I think bloody marys smell terrible. I've had each of the ingredients in a bloody mary on individually and the idea/smell of them combined does not appeal to me at all.

I really can't imagine that you couldn't figure this stuff out on your own.

All,

Just a quick aside re: mimosas: They are awesome.

Did I say blood? Oh yeah, I said "blood-like." I really can't imagine that you couldn't figure this stuff out on your own.

Ah, the "chemically altered" defense. A mere red herring to the fact you have never tasted a Bloody Mary, yet you wrote with confident authority that the drink doesn't taste delicious.

I went ahead and put the relevant words in bold there, in case you couldn't figure this stuff out on your own.

So what? Correlate schmorrelate. Have you tasted a Bloody Mary?

Because you have not, you do not know whether a Bloody Mary tastes delicious, or whether it tastes nothing like sausage, which -- unless you couldn't figure this stuff out on your own -- is also "chemically altered."

I don't like tomatoes or ketchup and I love Bloody Marys.

I love ketchup.

I love tomato sauce (ie: spaghetti sauce, marinara, etc.).

I find tomato juice and similar stuff (V8) disgusting.

All,

Anyone ever have bloody marys from Vegas casinos? Do Bellagio or Mandalay Bay make decent ones?

[/ QUOTE ]

Olive quality is often very poor at the casinos, which is a huge problem. A mushy olive can ruin an otherwise quality Mary. It's key to ask for a bottle of Tabasco when ordering, add enough and you can cure anything.

FYP. I'm pretty sure I could stomach chilled ferret crap if it were covered in Tobasco.

Have to agree on this one. Tabasco is overpowering for the vinegar alone. (I don't really think it's that hot.)

El D,

You are correct sir.
