Well... actually the strangest might be the corn pottage snacks, which were like cheetos, except they tasted very intensely like corn pottage.
Yum! I make sure to pick up a packet of those on every trip.

:ssh: Most of the stuff in Japan Crate, Skoshbox, and other Japanese snack delivery services are the equivalent of penny candy and cost a maximum of, say, $1.25 at current exchange rates. Some stuff costs as little as 15 cents or so. The corn potage snacks above cost about 90 cents for a big bag (75 grams) and 27 cents for a little bag (20 grams). Still, a snackbox is miles cheaper than a plane ticket.

No joke, that poo poo is pure gold. If you fry it in a pan you get all the grease out of it and it's great for cooking with. Hainenese chicken rice all the time.

But eating a whole bag at once blegh.

Yeah, I'm aware that I'm very much paying for the service of selecting and shipping me the snacks, rather than the snacks themselves. I just happen to find not having to spend the time of hunting down all this crap myself a pretty valuable thing, because I'm a filthy moneyhaver, and sometimes that means I can just spend a little money on making myself happy with something frivolous as hell.

In this month's box... sweet corn pretz, lychee ramune, and a bag of seaweed potato chips.

Chicken skin is one of the most delicious things on this earth. I prefer mine on the crispier, near-burnt side but really it's all great no matter how you do it.

I know this wasn't directed at me, but I get paid on Monday and will happily eat any weird food you (or someone else) suggests, as long as it's relatively cheap and readily available in Melbourne. Because Efexeye is right: There's some stuff in this thread that is clearly terrible, some stuff that may taste fine but is photographed really badly, and some stuff that may be OK in theory but came out all wrong - but then there's ordinary fast food sold in chain restaurants all across the world that a bunch of people are reacting to like it's the worst thing they've ever eaten/seen.

Seeing this shot me straight back into western NC in the 90s. Southern 'pear salad' consists of halved canned pears topped with a blob of mayo (Dukes, duh) and shredded cheese, and if you're super fancy, a maraschino cherry :stonk:

This doesn't work. The ketchup gets cooked and starts congealing then you've got a jam after 20-30 min. If there was a way to disable the heating element separately from the screw pump, then yeah, maybe it has a chance.

My mom tried to make cornbread once by looking up a recipe online. One of the ingredients was a can of beer, but if you didn't have that, you could substitute a can of corn. This level of disconnect between the ingredient and substitution did not alarm my mom any.
