How about some beondegi? Also known as stinky-rear end silkworm larvae:



Sometimes they shoot goo in your mouth! :science:

I...do not care for them.


Also, I have contributed to the thread. I was forced to do a "cooking class" in last year's winter English camp. I refuse to let third graders near fire, and I don't see the point in forcing 25 kids to line up to use a single microwave, so I needed stuff that didn't involve actual cooking. Enter "pizza sandwiches": Ritz crackers, sliced ham, shredded mozzarella, ketchup, and a sprinkling of basil. Sadly, they were pretty drat tasty.

EDIT: OH GOD THIS loving LIST

Thank you! Yes, they actually really enjoyed it. :3:

We also made "ants on a boat"- peanut butter and raisins on apple slices (celery is a big hard to find here). They refused to try them until they saw me eat one. Then they ate it and liked it. Figure midgets out.

I'd be pretty mad if my kid was telling me about his cooking class he had at camp and he told me some jackass had him putting ketchup on crackers and calling both the process cooking and the result a sandwich

Please feel free to call the Ministry of Education and complain! They don't speak English, but you seem really cool and smart, so I'm sure you'll have no trouble communicating your displeasure.

Considering I had to pay out of pocket for everything for 53 kids, of varying ages and English levels, three of them being special needs and having dietary restrictions, it's one of the easier and more affordable plans I came up with.

I would kill for that Loco-Moco burger.

Japanese McDonald's is bizarre in that it's wonderful. It's not a sad greyish burger cowering in the corner of the bag with limp lettuce sticking out of it like it tried halfheartedly to escape its prison but then gave up- the burgers look like the food stylist pictures on the menu. Flawless.

Just ate a cheddar-stuffed burger at a local joint in Amarillo -- it was topped with BBQ brisket, jalapeno bacon and a fried egg. It's named the "Morning After Burger," which sounds way too much like the morning after pill. I would have taken pics for this thread, but I was with family. The fried egg was undercooked and even the whites were partly runny. It was almost impossible to eat like a normal burger because it was so overloaded and messy. It was delicious. This post probably does not belong in this thread. I'll go back, get another one and take pictures.

This gave me a boner.

Japanese mayo is awesome. It's a bit tangy like it has just a slight bit of horseradish in it. It's much better than the generally tasteless sandwich lube you get most often in the US. Japan actually consumes about a quarter to a third less mayo than the US. It's just that Japanese-style mayo actually has a taste so you see it advertised as a flavor in more things. It's a functional condiment in the US rather than a flavorful one. However, both countries pale in comparison to Russia, which consumes more mayo per capita than both countries combined.

The most noticeable thing about most Japanese cuisine is the lack of texture. Foods that are soft are generally preferred over foods that aren't. "It's so soft!" is one of the common ways you'll hear people compliment food. Also, flavors that are too strong are generally disliked, and this goes in both directions. Salty snack foods are generally sweet or less salty. Sweet things like donuts are much less sweet than their American counterparts. Spicy things are generally less spicy. Wasabi is one of the few rare exceptions, and they also like kimchi too for some reason.

So, to the western palate that values more varied textures, a lot of Japanese cuisine tastes textureless and flavorless. This is part of what makes natto so gross. It doesn't taste that terrible, but the texture is off-putting and it does smell weird since it's a fermented food.



I like natto!


I think with Japanese food, the most off-putting thing for me is the (occasional) use of sliminess. Yamaimo can gently caress off. I'm not crazy about raw eggs, either.

I used to like eating salt. Just straight salt, sprinkled into my mouth. Plus I used to really like chicken flavoured chips dipped into caramel flavoured yoghurt as an after school snack.

I drank soy sauce.


Also, the only canned vegetables I have ever eaten on purpose are tomatoes and corn. I'm sure I've eaten others without knowing, though.

BTW "Greek salad" ain't got no lettuce :colbert:.

Asian countries have their own bread-like staple foods which are not sweet at all. They also have a specific genre of food called "what people in Asia think Americans eat". If you only shop/eat at places that cater to expats/sex tourists guess which one you are going to encounter?

Your avatar is right on the money! Oh, and you know jack poo poo about living in East Asia, hth.

Seriously, what are you even talking about? The only Japanese or Korean "staples" that resemble bread that I can think of are mochi and ddeok, both of which can be made to be very sweet. I am talking about bread, you know, the loaf-shaped poo poo you make sandwiches out of. Or, in the case of Korea, sugary garlic bread.

Also, check out this recipe for Rainbow Sushi Rolls: http://www.tablespoon.com/recipes/rainbow-sushi-rolls/691179f7-c58a-4b82-9b38-403367565f87

It's a bog standard recipe for pretty banal-sounding sushi- imitation crab (hurf), avocado, and carrots- except for the rainbow rice. I know food coloring doesn't have a super-strong taste, but the point of sushi is that the flavors are pretty subtle, riht? Wouldn't all that food coloring mess that up?

I can see you maybe making this for a kid, but the recipe suggests you serve it at a dinner party. For adults.

By far not the worst thing in this thread, but I dunno, it grossed me out.
