From a billion pages ago now, but I just ate those apple chips while in Japan last week. They were lightly sweet, with a touch of cinnamon, and actually really good. The bag suggested a I Can't Believe It's Not Apples! kind of situation, and it sort of was. I also picked up a small can of wasabi mayo Pringles, but I haven't tried them yet.

It's poutine, from Smoke's Poutinerie. Would (split the smallest size with someone).

I'm headed to suburban Montreal and bumfuck northern Vermont over the next several days. Anything gross I should avoid or deceptively good but gross-looking stuff I should be looking for with this thread in mind? (Poutine is a given, but poutine is not new.)

bringmyfishback posted:Thirded, and also get some fuckin' Montreal bagels. A smoked-meat sandwich is high on the list, too. And someplace like La Binerie with traditional Quebecois food that comes in various earth tones and looks extremely heavy, but probably tastes great.  I've read the description a few times and still don't know what the hell is under that gravy.

I've got that wafer-cob corn ice cream in my freezer right this very moment; I'd mentioned picking some up earlier in the thread, and I eventually did. Still haven't gotten around to trying it, though. I went to a fancy Japanese restaurant in Chicago some fifteen years ago that served, as a special, a core of lobster meat wrapped in "sheets" of corn cut off the cob so the whole thing looked like a proper half cob of corn. It was delicious, probably because the corn was not especially loose.

Quid posted:A local restaurant has this listed as "foul" Foul medammas is delicious, but there's no doubt the name puts people off. I think that's why our favorite local Lebanese place took it off the menu. On the other hand, it usually isn't so wet.

Meet tororo, or grated mountain yam: It's essentially snot in a bowl, a description that came quickly and naturally the first time I encountered it. Many years later, I was pleased when my Japanese sister said she wasn't too fond of tororo, citing its texture, and her husband said, "Yeah: it's like snot in a bowl." Oh, but you can add a raw egg! Maybe that'll help!

Samizdata posted:One of the few regrets I have about moving the the Midwest is the ability to easily score Horchata. When I lived in California, you would see bodega after bodega with those 50's style beverage circulators full of well-chilled Latino beverage deliciousness. I bought a big loving bag of ground tigernuts in Ontario so I could make Spanish horchata at home, even though it's a messy pain in the rear end. Bulk Barn used to sell it, but on my last trip I had to resort to some pricey organic stuff from a health-food store. On the other (lazy, cheap, and anti-food porn) end of the spectrum, I also stock up on packets of Crystal Light horchata whenever I'm in Mexico.

Those could be azuki beans, which are prepared to be sweet rather than savory. The yellow half-orbs could be loquats. Add in the pineapple and kiwifruit and you've got a lovely fruit tart.

Fleta Mcgurn posted:Cheese foam, ugggghhhh. Why is foam considered a selling point? Besides the obvious reason of OMG MOLECULAR GASTRONOMY.  The menu described it as "Rose-Scented Cassata: an ice-cream cake with plenty of rum, dried fruit, and ricotta cheese." There were no photos. I certainly didn't expect foam, which I find generally gross as well as a lazy OMG MOLECULAR GASTRONOMY shortcut. It elicited slightly worried reactions from my tablemates. I suggested it resembled a frog/fish nest; they countered with "soap". That's where the rose scent/flavor was, so yeah, soap wasn't far off. At least the rest was delicious.

Smoke posted:Ordered the salty pancake cake at a cake/coffee place in one of the malls here in Bulgaria. This is what I got. I did finally have a bite of koseliena (Lithuanian pickled pigsfeet) after nearly forty years of actively, vocally turning it down. The flavor was fine, but the aspic texture turned me right off. Sorry, Mom; I tried.

bike tory posted:I've never seen milk in glass bottles here ever, or a milk vending machine. Whay city do you live in?  You can still get milk delivered: http://www.meiji.co.jp/takuhaimeiji/commodity/ (among other dairy companies offering the same service) Also various types of yogurt/yogurt drinks and some healthy treats like a V-8ish vegetable drink and prune juice. Personally, I'd love to have bottles of coffee milk delivered daily. Here, have some anti-food porn of a milk-based Hong Kong dessert:  I'm almost positive it tastes great (though I'm not big on grass jelly), but the presentation leaves something to be desired.

Fleta Mcgurn posted:This reminded me of something I used to buy people as a gag gift when I lived in GLORIOUS NIPPON: Breath Palette. We picked up one tube each of black currant (plus charcoal) and of vanilla (plus baking soda) toothpaste way back when Lush still made them. We're currently finishing up a tube of white peach toothpaste that has fluoride and everything. Next up is apple-chamomile. My son is working from a tube of melon toothpaste. It's the same impulse that compels me to pick up every weird variety of potato chip that Lay's puts out: I'm a sucker for interesting flavors.
