What are quinces like? I've never had one. Never even seen on in a store, oddly.

I can't say what an actual quince is like, but I've had quince-flavoured Polish vodka and it was like a cheerier orange/peach.

They should do an unsweetened lime juice snowcone slush, again with chili powder and chamoy. Chamoyada :ese:

Needs 4-6 shots of rum or tequila in there somewhere.


That stuff makes amazing prison wine. I prefer the mango or peach nectar, but you can get it in liter boxes at a dollar store here. Throw it in a food safe plastic or glass jug with a loose top for a couple weeks and you got alcohol at pennies per serving. Mix it with ginger ale or tonic water, it's a bit thick and slimy on its own.

edit2: on a non alcoholism note, pears are one of the best fruits to make an oat crisp with. Saute in-season fruit in a pan with just enough butter to keep it from sticking. Add small amounts of balsamic vinegar and sugar to hit that perfect sweet-sour spot. Mix dry oatmeal, melted butter, and brown sugar until it's kind of sandy. Put fruit moosh in a small shallow pan, top with oatmeal sand. Broil until it starts to get a tiny bit black on the edges. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. It's my favorite dessert, and it works with a bajillion fruits. Pears, strawberries, raspberries, peaches, loving persimmons. You get sweet sour melty crunchy creamy buttery carmel etc. All the good dessert flavors in one thing and it's easy as poo poo to make.

tbf pears go from tooth breakingly hard to melting in about 24 hours, so unless you catch them in the actually enjoyable window you might as well just use them for cooking. Bit of red wine and some spices and spoon that poo poo over icecream :boom:

Pears are good, I like then crunchy or soft, grainy or smooth.

Re: apple (or pear) juice filler, in some countries its also a way to sweeten products while getting around laws requiring food to have "added sugar" labels. Baby food is a classic for this because no one wants to think their baby food is pumped full of sugar, but it's also very difficult to find a baby food that doesn't have apple or pear as the primary ingredient because companies want babies to eat their food and babies love sweet poo poo. Even the supposedly savoury meat or pasta ones tend to be heavily sweetened with apple or pear. I remember one in particular that claimed to be "minted lamb and spinach" but the ingredients were like Apple concentrate (70%), corn starch (20%), lamb (7%), spinach (2%), various flavours. It was also this hideous grey colour.

That dood never got back with the Sonic slush report, so I'll beat him to it

The Tigers Blood, as you would expect from the idea, just tastes like a snowcone slush. Delicious, and highly recommend

Slightly less so is the pickle slush.

Pickle is incredible, and I love tart and salty things, even with some sweet, but oh man did Sonic miss the mark here. It's incredibly pickely, tbf, much more so than I had expected. It's pungent and briny and nearly overwhelming, which could be good. The horrendous misstep however is that it is sweeeeeet. Candy slush sugar sweet, with almost no tartness at all to balance it. It comes on like a normal sweet slush, shortly followed by a bit of salt and intense pickle flavor. The aftertaste is pretty much nothing but sugar and artificial pickle. Worse yet was when it had melted and I got a solid shot of slightly thick pickle sugar syrup. Not at all a pleasant experience

Overall super disappointing given that I had been looking forward to trying it. Wouldn't recommend at all unless you go in expecting an interestingly gross drink

I know somebody who used to work as part of the crew on Roy Disney's racing yacht. According to him, Roy's favorite dessert was canned peaches covered with hershey's syrup. He'd hang around on the deck eating them in nothing but his underwear. Occasionally he'd bring out a bunch, share them with everybody, and they'd all have to pretend to love them because the guy had more money than god.

I don't like the idea of pickle juice slush because all that ice would dilute the pickle juice. I want my pickle juice so sour that it makes me shudder and makes my teeth hurt and makes me have to work at un-puckering my mouth, and the ice would take away from that.

Maybe straight Lucas pickle salt on shaved ice, that might work. And that's appropriately AFP too.

They used to have this, or a similar product, at at least one Canadian movie theatre chain. Besides pickle, there was ketchup, cheese, and one more that I'm guessing was ranch. The ketchup one really grossed me out. If you want ketchup on popcorn, just do it, and accept that you will be friendless going forward. Don't turn it into a powder. It's creepy to turn things into powders.

e: There's Spanish on this one, though, so it must be from the US.

Our flavors here are more along the lines of pickle, chili, lemon, lime, chili-lime, mango-chili, mango-lime-chili - I'm sure you get the drift.

I noticed that too when I visited Canada: their topping powder game is fuckin lit. My favorite is "All Dressed", which I guess is like if you just unscrewed the top of every spice on the rack.

The movie theater I went to there had huge soupcan-sized seasoning shakers of every one of the above flavors, including "All Dressed". It was very lol and I took the tale of the experience home with me and tell it to this day, along with the KFC in the Yorkdale food court that came in a box that had proudly printed on the side "The first KFC was opened in Calgary in 1954. Ever since then.... :canada:"

I haven't done this in a long time, but whenever I would eat popcorn with ketchup/hot sauce/ranch, I would pour the sauce in a tiny dish and dip the popcorn in it. It's cleaner and you waste less sauce.


edit: To clarify, I would only use one sauce at a time, I wasn't mixing those together.
