People have pointed out that I'm dumb and misread the year on that can...good god...

 And to think that this Mystery Can isn't even the real feature of today's So You Don't Have To:



That can? Well, I explain it properly in the video, but here's the underside. DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER!

 

Anyway, for this week's focus food, I was passed something with a note from [info]paradoxlight  and, by proxy, her boy </lj>[info]dschen  , who apparently loves these things. It was the first time that a stranger showed up to my house with food for me to eat. I hope it will not be the last.

 

Well, that certainly seems like a relatively nice note about a delicious food, yes? Except for the "very high" part. And the words "not-so-evil," I guess. Hmmm...

Oh, and I'd just like to ask, for the record:

WHY THE HELL AM I DOING THIS TO MYSELF?
I MEAN, DIDN'T I LEARN MY FUCKING LESSON LAST TIME?

 
Oh boy. Yet another product from the shelves of an Asian market that says "KEEP REFRIGERATED" but has probably never been any colder than room temperature.

At least these are sealed, and not just loosely covered in paper in a styrofoam box. I think that's a good thing. Is that a good thing? Oh god, somebody help me.
 

Please to note that I held it as one would hold a tiny kitten with itty-bitty human arms. So, here are the ingredients:



Three times the amount of salt as the last egg? Well, it's got some vitamin A, which is the mortal enemy of salt. I think we have a clip.

Bob, do we have that clip? Boy, there was some fun Tourette's stuff going on there, wasn't there? Scrunching my face and moving my arms like...ugh, I just had a taste memory of that egg.

You will pay for this, [info]paradoxlight. You too, [info]dschen.

You will pay dearly.

...

Okay, enough with the empty threats!

If you have a strange food you want me to try, mail it to:

I leave you today with a quick look at the greens. I totally forgot to take a shot of the Evil Alien Egg Yolk, but there's a it in the sink if you look by the drain.



Smooches, my monkeys.

It would appear that this entry is now non-shitted. So, I deleted the new entry. It didn't have any comments on it and kind of smelled like soup, anyway.

That was one of the more hilarious ones... JULIA CHILD IMPRESSION FTW! ;)

Seriously though, I'm sure there is something in my cabinets I could send to you, or ACTUALLY! now that I think about, I'm going to root around some Korean and Japanese grocery stores tomorrow.. I think I could find something worthy of your series ;)
Expect something from me in the mail in the next two weeks(-ish!)

I have this desire to find something really odd here in England. Or maybe I just revert to the standby of Vegemite.

Maaan, I you and your wife rock.

Holy shit, the cholesterol level on that egg. I've never tried the kinds you've had - I've had these ones (I love Google image search). We ate them in tiny pieces with fresh tomato to cut the salt.

But I do believe I have something that's been floating around the pantry. YAY.

I'm trying to think of something horrendous to send you. Like everyone else, I might try scouring my local Asian market.

I wish I could send you ice cream in the mail.

There's an asian grocery store called Ranch 99, and I have found Corn&Cheese flavoured ice cream. Picture Here

I'm both intrigued and repelled, and it'd be nice if someone would try it for me lol.

wow. i commend you for eating that egg.

its a staple in my family when it comes to congee (rice porridge) but i absolutely despise it due to the overwhelming saltiness. even so, they eat it in teeeeenie tiny bites along with the congee.

I have tears in my eyes from laughing so hard. Equal amounts of cringing as well.

Have to ask though: any doctor visits yet from these culinary experiments???

Im inspired now to find something 'interesting' for you to try. XD
