dent corn fresh from the field (not all dried out) actually tastes fantastic, I used to just occasionally snag an ear while I worked. No cooking needed.

This product sort of makes sense. Over here in Northern Europe, we can't grow much sweet corn. This means that any most corn on the cob is kind of old when it gets to the store. Corn has an enzyme that turns sugars into starch, the longer the sweetcorn sits around, the less sweet it gets. Boiling stops this enzyme's activity permanently. The plastic bagged corn is parboiled, just enough to stop the sugar breakdown. Youcook it for a few minutes and it tastes better than canned corn or old corn on the cob.

I suppose for that, but I can assure you lack of readily available corn is not an Asian issue. (corn "cheese" stuffed waffle)

the intervening waffle makes the kerning weird on that, so it looks like "conch ~ <waffle here> jeuwaffle" conch waffles, sounds delicious. alternatively, conch jew waffles, gotta make another stroke there tho

I thought the Kettle ones should be alright because I've inadvertently had that combo before at parties, since Cadbury Dairy Milk and Kettle Sea Salt chips are fairly staple Australian party foods. The chip pieces are very small and salty, which basically makes it taste like chocolate with sea salt, and texturally like chocolate with salted caramel pieces. All in all, 7/10, will finish the pack.

No dude - this is a convenience food, not some kind of preservation thing. I visited Taiwan and Thailand last summer and displays like this were in every loving store in both. I'd watch people go into a 7-11 and buy a couple marinated eggs, a super sweet coffee, and a cob of corn for breakfast. My friends who were hosting me kept these in their bags to give to the kids when they'd get fussy. I got kinda fixated on it when I was there because it was just so odd. Here's a different picture. It's just a stack of vac packed corn, and it's just loving laying there. I think that's mayo beside the eggs, too.

You're not supposed to wash chicken in the first place, anyway. All you're doing by running it under the water is just spreading a bunch of bacteria around your sink.

You're supposed to just open palm slam that slimy meat into a sink filled with cold water. But just once. More than that would be redundant.

Finally stumbled on a weird potato chip flavor to share with y'all! My husband and I were high and Krogering (never a wise decision) and came upon these in the snack aisle: [pic not mine] Having a full on case of the munchies, my man tears the bag open before we even start the car. He pops a couple chips in his mouth, starts chewing, then pauses. In a low, pensive voice, he says: "I think I have made a grave mistake." Once you get over the initial weirdness of "why does this potato chip taste like a Chinese takeout joint smells?", they're actually not bad. The prominent flavor is sesame oil, that's what (for me) made it Tso-ish. The first chip is definitely off-putting if your brain and mouth are primed for the usual US chip flavors like sour cream & onion or BBQ. But as we tried more, they kinda grew on us, and we ended up plowing through quite a few on the drive home. Not sure we'd buy them again, but not a grave mistake. 6/10, I'd say. Fake edit: just occurred to me that they'd probably be bitchin' if you dipped them in duck sauce

CommonShore posted:No dude - this is a convenience food, not some kind of preservation thing. I mean, it's both right? They have a long shelf life and don't need refrigeration, but also it's ready-to-eat if that's your jam. It's also got quite an unappealing texture, so it's not really comparable to fresh corn on the cob.

Spread slices of ham with mustard. Wrap a banana in each ham slice and place in shallow baking dish. Pour cheese sauce over bananas and bake in moderate oven. Dehumanise yourself and face to bloodshed.

bike tory posted:Did bagels used to be called donuts or something? Because those recipes would be odd but not gross with a bagel instead of a donut Plain donuts used to be significantly more dense and less sweet than today's cake donuts. More like the potato donuts we used to make occasionally when I was a kid. That said, the toasting part of the rarebit does make me think they may have just been talking about a goddamn bagel, yes.

Tuna sashimi with black garlic, frisee, some kind of puree, and seaweed salad. Looks delicious to me. Assuming the puree works with the rest of that, it probably tastes great too. It's even a reasonable serving served in a fairly normal bowl.
