CLAM DOWN posted:I've discovered a wide range of aggressive and puzzling Turkish food videos on Instagram, it's very weird. This watermelon one isn't surprising at all. Yeah I was just looking at the Instagram of the guy who did the watermelon: https://www.instagram.com/faruk_cheff/?hl=en He seems to be dedicated to making the most unappetizing seafood possible. I guess it's a Turkish thing? I dunno, maybe I'm too American in my palate, but I just couldn't eat something that looks like this:   That said the watermelon thing is still probably the worst one there. I just don't see how that could taste good.

Genuinely interested in what this one would taste like. I'm guessing it'd be a tad rubbery.

Yeah I'd imagine it'd be fine if you're into octopus texture. Really into octopus texture.

Without the picture I would absolutely assume this was an invite to a local bluegrass band. I'm going to live in that world instead.

Detective Thompson posted:Is this a snakehead? I would guess the picture is from Southeast Asia somewhere, but do they do vegetable noodles there? Or is someone in the US finally doing something productive about invasive snakeheads? A place in DC near where I used to live sold an 'Invasive Fish Sandwich' which was just beer battered snakehead. It was good; has the snakehead been given a more appetizing name to appeal more to the masses? I thing orange roughy has a waaaaaay less appetizing name, but that name makes it more palatable in a restaurant.

These fish need to die whether anyone eats then or not, so by eating them you're indirectly doing something good for the environment. A good deed with no effort on your part, the best kind of good deed.

The octopus one ehhh idk but that's basically a terrine of sorts?

Rotten Red Rod posted:Yeah I was just looking at the Instagram of the guy who did the watermelon: https://www.instagram.com/faruk_cheff/?hl=en For some reason, I've discovered that Turkish cooks on social media really like to prepare food as fast and as hostile as humanly possible, including slapping meat, squeezing everything violently, and throwing toppings and sauces everywhere with vigour. It's quite remarkable and I can't look away sometimes.

It was good; has the snakehead been given a more appetizing name to appeal more to the masses? Orange roughy used to be slimefish, IIRC. Around DC, northern snakeheads are called frankenfish. They are able to airbreathe enough to survive for several days out of water, and young ones can move overland (hence the moniker).There's a lot of strong feeling about them around DC because the darn things are so predatory and the invasion is so recent that people pretty much helplessly watched it happen despite efforts to unhappen it. Alas.

Hirayuki posted:The largest lake in Japan is being overtaken by various invasive species, some of which the local aquarium delights in serving at its cafeteria. There's an explicit "let's get those bastards" vibe to their signage for these dishes. Well, then I've certainly done my part to fight back against the snakeheads!  In other news, my brother sent me this photo to show the scale of a burrito (chicken finger, hot, w/blue cheese added) he ate this afternoon.  Yes, he finished the entire thing.

LadyPictureShow posted:Well, then I've certainly done my part to fight back against the snakeheads! How. How. Dude must regularly eat huge meals to have a stomach stretched out to do that. What I'm saying is his stomach has stretch marks. ... e: sometimes I think lack of sleep posting should be prohibited like drunk posting. No one is going to get this but I'm not editing this thing to be more coherent. The idea of an organ having stretch marks is amusing at 2 AM. Shut up. Just shut up.

DicktheCat posted:How. How. Yeah, he's a biggun, and his eating feats are well documented amongst family and friends. One time he went out for 5 cent wing night, and a while later he called me to let me know he had 'beat Roger Maris's record', which had been his goal going into things. Sure, wings you get at a 5/10 cent night are on the dinky side generally, but he ate 68 chicken wings (he didn't just stop once he passed 61). Another time he managed 82. If he drops dead from eating like this, I'll be sure to post his obituary.
