..Head Cheese

It's really rich tasting and depending on the spices it adds a lot of flavor to a cold sandwich. The only real thing to consider is adding enough 'other stuff' so there isn't so much emphasis on the jelly-texture. I get it from my local supermarket but have them slice it as thin as possible. It's a rare item for me though.

I'm 20-something, and a lot of the time when I order it the person behind the deli counter will ask, "are you sure?" or "do you know what it is?". It's funny because the stuff smells and tastes way better than spam. I'd definitely rather eat a piece of Head Cheese than a Slim Jim which smells like feet and releases a foul tasting acid in your mouth in response to being bitten.

Head cheese is a traditional spread that's very popular here in Denmark, especially around Christmas. It's so good on Danish rye bread with mustard and pickled beets.

After knowing how it's made, I just can't handle Haggis. I mean... just look at it.



When I was in Scotland, we ate haggis and black pudding every day as part of a proper Scottish breakfast. It works wonders when you're going out hiking in the highlands, tons of energy in that stuff.

"Eggs, they say. Eggs. Really? Not Alien-fetus skulls in butterscotch sauce? Eggs? Not lumps of mashed potatoes soaked with cocoa power and dipped in gravy?"

Although I believe French is like other languages in that oeufs can be slang for testicles. So you may not be wrong.

I tried these today and they taste like goat meat. And goats taste like goats smell: goat piss. I am not impressed. The only way to eat goat is covered in spices so as to not taste it.



I had these while completely smashed, and membered liking them even though when I burped the next day it tasted like gyro chips.

So these are great if you're drunk.

This is a Engraved Chicken Aspic. All Craftdwarfship is of the highest quality. It menaces with pimento pieces and Basic Blender Mayonnaise. On the item is an image of a dwarf eating a chicken aspic. The dwarf is screaming.

I've had them once, and the thing about sushi is that it's about subtle flavors. A bit of soy sauce should be the strongest flavor there and never enough to coverup the taste of the fish and rice. Deep frying sushi destroys all of this and all you end up tasting is batter, mushiness, and whatever sauces they decide to put on top.

This is insanely wrong and just makes me think you haven't had great fried sushi. A place called Mojo near me has great normal sushi and fried sushi and the fried sushi is possibly the most ridiculously delicious thing I've ever had.

He's right, though. Sushi is supposed to be about the subtle flavors of the fish with a little bit of soy sauce. Frying it and drowning it in glop aren't the ideal ways to eat it.

I don't know the burps tasted like sour cream&onion and beef flavor Top Ramen season. It's the same kind of burps I got when I ate dried ramen with seasoning when I was younger. Chips would have a solid 6 if not for the burps.

e: they did make me crave a gyro. especially one from this place around me that uses real geek yogurt and red onions on theirs.

Boiling a steak would taste like poo poo. Frying sushi has tasted incredible every time I've had it. You would have to actively ignore that to try and compare the two things.

I mean i really don't feel all THAT strongly about it? but whatever that thing is, looks gross. Roe, spicy mayo, avocado, sesame seeds, soy, what i think is some kind of fish, rice, then i think a hot dog. And then fried? it does not look good to me.

Edit: especially compared to this delicious freshness:

Boiled beef requires a lot of Worcestershire/fish/hot )or all three, gently caress it) sauce. It *can* be done but it's along the same line of logic of cloning dinosaurs.

Protip, lose the fat, slice it thin, and boil it quick and fast. Pho Tai is how boiled meat should be, if you're just throwing a fat chunk of beef in hot water you may as well piss on the cow's carcass for all the respect you're doing to it.
