For a second I thought that was chicken in coconut milk. Turns out it's actually worse.

Durian tastes great but yes it smells like a heady mixture of rear end and diesel

Spam chat: Slice it maybe 1/4 inch thick, fry it in a pan until crispy on both sides (no oil or butter needed, the Spam provides). Butter a piece of bread, lay the slices on to cover the bread, and squirt ketchup on top. Eat open-faced, which may mean it's technically a Spam-and-ketchup pizza. It goes without saying this tastes best if you've polished off half a bottle of whiskey earlier in the night.

Saw this on a click bait sidebar and now I am glad I saved it.

Knowing Asian style deserts it probably is coconut milk and probably sweetened. The green ‘noodle’ things look like they’d be made with pandan.
I keep getting tempted to buy a durian from my supermarket but I always chicken out. I’m really curious to try it though. Maybe I’ll hunt out some preprepared stuff or some sweets.
I don’t want my house to smell though. Or my neighbours to kill me.

The noodles are made from rice flour, they're a SE Asian thing

It will absolutely invade your house (temporarily) but everything I read said try fresh rather than sweets.

I bought some once out of curiosity. It smells of rotting fruit garbage, like that sickly sweet smell from overripe fruit. The taste was like banana and kiwi, followed by a very strong raw onion kick. Not unpleasant for me, but not something I'm excited to eat again.

During my feral preteen days I used to stash cans of these in the woods and use them as caches to extend the time I could survive without having to go home. My rule was to take out one extra for every three-can “day’s worth” I stashed, to have at least three caches going at a time in case somebody found and stole them, and to try and replace bean meals with foraged meals whenever possible to make them stretch.

Later I learned how to soak acorns to add volume to the beans— even soaked they were vile without sauce— and how to filch from deer feeders, which made it easier to stay for days at a time in the hunting lease part of the woods near our house. Water was the only real challenge at that point and I definitely snuck up to strange houses for hose water a few times.

Brings back memories. God I hate beanie weenie.

How you managed to go from literal feral child of neglectful parents to functional human being and reliable ICU nurse is proof of human capacity for greatness.

If you're nervous about trying durian, freeze it first. That kills some of the smelliness, and half/frozen durian is nice and ice cream-y.

Kiviak or kiviaq is a traditional wintertime Inuit food from Greenland that is made of little auks fermented in a seal skin.

Up to 500 whole auks are packed into the seal skin. As much air as possible is removed from the seal skin before it is sewn up and sealed with seal fat, which repels flies. It is then hidden in a heap of stones, with a large rock placed on top to keep the air out. Over the course of three months, the birds ferment, and are then eaten during the arctic winter, particularly on birthdays and weddings.

The taste of kiviak is similar to strong Gorgonzola cheese.

'Sup NEOhio buddy. I don't know if you're in Akron (for some reason I thought you were), but if so, there's one in Stow, off OH-8 on Steels Corners if I remember correctly. I've lived in Akron for 12 years (okay, 11 thanks to that bullshit year in NY) but I've never gone to Skyline.


Good to know! I'm actually out in the hinterlands that is Portage County (along with a bunch of Trump-dumps, illegal immigrants from W. PA, and WVA, and MAH GUNS!!! freaks). I have a client down in Cuyahoga Falls that I do work for a couple of times a year, so I'll have to detour back through Stow and get my Skyline jones fixed. I work mostly in the Cleveland area, and rarely get to Akron proper unless "The Beyonderers" are playing.

I think I would just to say I had, but things like these make me wonder how the hell the first person to make it came up with the idea. Like imagine if someone went out buying 500 chickens and stuffed them in a sack and buried it and said he was going to eat it in a few months. You'd have that guy committed immediately.

"Are freezers invented yet?"
"No."

HOLY poo poo I would eat the gently caress out of this. I bet that's amazing.

Durian is one of those weird foods that, when you try it for the first time, you make a face of disgust which slowly transforms into existential confusion when you realize you can't stop eating it.

I had that last year, it's just food coloring. And I don't remember the exact conversation I had with the cook/manager, but there was a tone of "can you believe this poo poo corporate's making us do".

I figure most fermented foods were invented through trial and error over centuries of people faced with the choice of eating that or starving.

I think the documentary series Human Planet shows a bunch of people catching and eating auks. It's actually pretty cool to watch (like the rest of the series), but I'll pass on the smell-o-vision version.

Ya starvation is a hell of a thing. Same way people found out that certain berries are only edible after they've been soaked for a few weeks in running water, or certain fruit have specific edible bits only when perfectly ripe, or certain roots have to have specific bits cut away and then cooked to be edible.
