Also apparently at least one brand of British dessert gelatin comes not as a powder, but as a dense block of concentrated gelatin that you reconstitute with boiling water before pouring into molds and chilling??

I don’t think I’ve ever eaten snook. The couple I’ve caught, I released.
It's great and can be cooked every which way, kind of similar to mahi or some snappers. The hard part is getting your hands on some legitimately. It's illegal to fish commercially, sell, use anything besides a hand line to catch, and there's a restricted season with a tight size window and bag limit of one. FWC also delights in trying to bust people for fishing violations. I've seen boats pulled over, surf fishermen getting their catches measured right on the beach, etc.

Also - thread relevant - if you gently caress up and don't remove the skin, it tastes like soap.

Speaking of British favo(u)rites, I crossed into Canada this past weekend in part to stop at the British shop, where I picked up a few unusual snacks:



Chocolate with cheesy onion potato crisp pieces in. Haven't tried this yet. My family recoiled at the thought, but I figured, poo poo, it's the last one in the box, so it can't be all that bad. Plus perennial thread favorite Parma Violets (the GIANT variety).



This was apparently a Christmas thing, but I don't give a poo poo. Pigs in blankets sounds like a fine flavor for potato chips.

Also apparently at least one brand of British dessert gelatin comes not as a powder, but as a dense block of concentrated gelatin that you reconstitute with boiling water before pouring into molds and chilling?? This is bizarre to my raised-with-Jell-O rear end, so I picked one up (black currant flavor, yesss).

Yeah, that's Northern Irish Tayto.
Couple of tips on making up that jelly, and yes pretty much all jellies in Britain and Ireland come like that;
1. Cut it up into cubes, it makes getting it all dissolved a lot faster.
2. If the directions say something like "pour 500ml boiling water", it's handier to add 250ml boiling, get it all dissolved, then add another 250ml of cold - it'll set a lot faster.

I read this like 5 times before realising that by 'lid' you’re (probably) referring to the pool covering, not the dead turtle's shell.

I unofficially swore off American cheese for a while after gaining an appreciation for other stuff; however, I've rediscovered that deli American cheese is still pretty fantastic sometimes.

I realize this neatly functions as a microcosm of stereotypical hipsterism in general, but that doesn't mean it ain't true
