I discovered these “Roasted Seaweed Snacks” from Trader Joe’s that someone brought in at work. They look like lawn clippings that somebody turned into little pieces of paper, but they taste incredible! I went out and bought several packages and now I’m semi-addicted to them. I knew about nori, the seaweed wrap used to make sushi rolls, but had no idea how good the seaweed alone tasted. Tastes kinda nutty, a little salty, reminiscent of the ocean. I think there’s a lot of umami goodness going on there too.
Plus it’s low cal, and you get a good dose of vitamin C, & a moderate dose of vitamin A and fiber. It’s like a miracle snack!
I just saw a recipe from days gone by on a retro site, a kind of stew of canned vegetables in a pink tomato sauce . It actually looked quite colorful but it had a can of Spaghetti-Os mixed in - Spaghetti-Os!!! Nonetheless, the blogger said it tasted absolutely scrumptious.
I always thought Nutella was kinda gross-looking. There something about the solidness of it when spread on something that always reminded me of the inside of a dirty diaper.
But it’s the food of the gods. I would put it on everything if I knew I could do it without gaining a zillion pounds.
For years I wouldn’t even try hummus because it looked exactly like cat barf to me. Now, I enjoy it in my lunch almost every day. Fresh and Easy’s lemon cilatro hummus is THE YUMMY.
There’s a popular baby shower game played by melting various chocolate candy bars in diapers and asking the guests to poke through them and smell them to identify the candy.
This. The only thing is, when you get urchin that isn’t fresh, it’s really, really bad. Unless you love the taste of iodine. And if it’s your first time, you’ll probably never try it again.
We had a Monstera deliciosa fruit for our new fruit for Rosh Hashana a couple of days ago. It was about the size and shape of my forearm, covered in green scales that pop off as the fruit ripens, making it look like a rotting alligator limb. But it tasted awesome, like a banana-pineapple with hints of bubble gum.
Tongue? I’ve seen whole tongues for sale. (Never had it, nor ever seen cooked cleaned sliced tongue, so I don’t even know if it IS tasty, as rumoured.)
