Why are there strawberries on the bottle? Is strawberry cider a thing?

wikipedia posted:

Mitsuya Cider (三ツ矢サイダー Mitsuya Saidā?) is a Japanese carbonated soft drink, created in 1884 and now produced by Asahi Soft Drinks. While branded as a "cider", the East Asian use of "cider" refers to a very different drink from that typically referred to in English: the basic flavor can be described as a cross between Sprite and Ginger Ale, though Asahi has come out with additional flavors, including grape, lemon, mikan and white peach.

Hold the gently caress up. What?

It's pretty common fair food. Like you can imagine, it's an elephant's ear that's been deep fried. Some places still actually cut them off fresh when you order them, but mostly they just use the frozen kind.

So, it's been a long while since that was the hot topic in this thread, but apparently my girlfriend ordered some of these Japanese DIY candy kits. Only trouble is that we don't own a microwave. If we figure something out, I'll be sure to let you know.

How can you not own a microwave?

Whoa, microwaves are used to reheat small amounts of cold food? I had no idea. Mind: blown.

Some people use them wrong, though, therefore they should have died off years ago.

Liquified means runny. If you poured it on a plate would it pile up or run off the edge? Mashed potatoes and porridge are therefore stew (unless you're making them wrong). Noodle soup is soup because the liquid is the central element. Cereal with milk is a stew because the milk is a sauce.

You made that dumb posts months ago, and you're still willing to stand by and defend it?

Is there something wrong with me if I think that mushroom is beautiful/delicious-looking? I want to lick it.

I'm really not sure why people have a problem with it, to be honest.

Um, aging doesn't mean rotting, does it?

The thread was for something called charcuterie, which involves aging and curing meat. It looks like icehewk there didn't do too well with the second part, but thankfully everybody told him he hosed up and should start again.

This doesn't make any sense. Why go through the whole process of making a fake yolk and egg whites when the shell is the only thing that needs to look convincing?

If they tasted nasty they were probably stale. Like other people have said, they're mostly just crunchy and salty and taste like pork fat, but the bag you bought could have been sitting on that rack for a year.

No, they're within their sell by date

If you don't use separate utensils for different things you might as well just put all your condiments in a blender and blend until smooth.

Spread the jam first, rinse the knife off, and then spread the peanut butter second because it's harder to clean.

Matè is really good tho

This is even in the proper gourd and has a metal straw and everything. Darn it Im going to get some.
Maybe some rooibos as well.

I don't get why people like matè, to me it tastes like somebody wrung out a wet dog into a cup of dirt.
