If you could invent a disgusting snack, the only stipulation being that it has to be made of edible stuff, what would you create? (Picture something that would look right at home in the snack aisle of a Store 24 or its equivalent.) What would you name it?
There’s no prize, except props for the best gross-out. The winner can be voted on by posters as the posts accumulate.
So, let me get the ball rolling:
Ever been around those people who crunch the half-/un- popped popcorn kernals when the good stuff’s gone? (Maybe you’re one of those people yourself…)
How’s about congealing these together using a butter gel concoction and selling them in granola bar sized bars?
I don’t really have a good name for it- how’s about: a PopCrunch Bar?
SlimJimWich: Cheap white bread, mooshed down into doughy-ness, SlimJim’s laid across like Lincoln Logs, covered with a piece of American Cheese. Comes in different levels of spiciness…
Living in Birminham, AL I heard a product being advertised called “Pop-Nots.” The unpopped kernels like you spoke of. Now, they didn’t come in bar form, just in a bag.
Those larvae (eaten live I think) that are a big food source for much of the rest of the world, how about those with maple syrup and, oh I don’t know, all served on a rippled cheese and sourcream potato chip. Hey now, that’s good livin.
There is a popcorn kernel snack sold at my local 7-11
under the name of Pop-Nots or something similar.
A disgusting snack I’ve actually had was fried grasshoppers at a bar in Seoul. Yuk! They tasted like sauteed hair. I’ve also had duck embryo in the shell at a bar in Manila.
I kinda thought this would be fun, but I’m not getting a whole lot of agreement, so I’ll just [bump] this once and then let this thread spectacularly fizzle into nothingness.
How bout “Choclasses Dill Sticks” Take a standard kosher Dill spear, pat dry on a paper towel. Dip in molasses and allow to drain for a bit. Roll in unsweetened baking cocoa. A truly tempting snack. For a real crowd pleaser, serve with a nice glass of buttermilk.
I don’t want to concoct anything new either, but my wife says that some of the things I eat are pretty disgusting…
Peanut Butter, Cheese and Mustard sandwiches are good.
I had, this morning, fried spam mixed with onions, mushrooms, mozarella cheese and leftover swordfish steak. All mixed together of course.
My wife’s Mother eats cottage cheese mixed with ketchup.
My Dad used to eat mashed potatos, gravy, peas and ketchup all mixed together.
I STILL like tomato soup filled with so many crackers that you could eat it with a fork pressed between a peanut butter and pepper jack cheese sandwich.
Inviting the eye is a fluffy outside crust of fermented and dried curry flavored coconut shreds that enshroud the core consisting of a tempting banana and liverwurst puree hidden inside. A subtle marbling of black licorice ensures prompt regurgitation in case that has not already occured.
Mm, mmmm…haven’t you yet tried my ever-so-tasty Lardanchhoneysnack bar? It’s all the rage! It’s a fine layer of pure lard sprinkled with anchovy bits and covered in a drissle of honey. All of this deliciousness is wrapped in pure dark chocolate. Mmmm mmm! That’s some good eatin’!
Though the following recipes have been tried and tested, the management cannot be held accountable for any illness or missed work.
Back in college, we bought one of those 100lb bag of rice. You know, the “rice for life” size. Anyhoo, over about 4 months we came up with a lot of rice recipes.
Here’s one of the snack ones.
Ya take yer rice. Ya mix in liberal amounts of table syrop, process cheese slices and raisins. Ya mush it flat on a cookie sheet and refrigerate for 1 week, or until someone gets sick enough of fried rice to try it. (which I’d recommend putting off as long as possible)
Here’s one I made the other day. It was actually really damn good. This will be my official entry.
Fill a bowl with Shreddies. Put in a large trollop er… dollop of yogurt. (I used strawberry) Mix well until all the shreddies are coated in yogurty goodness and clumping nicely. Then you add baby carrots, peanuts, raisins and a finely choppled bud of garlic.
24-BAR: Fresh coffee grounds and cola syrup pressed into bar form. The ultimate caffine experience. Our slogan: You can’t eat this and keep your eyes shut.
All right, people, now the disgusting snack food generator that is Asia shall come into play:
Ppondaegai wrapped in a cotton candy shell with a spicy miso sauce!!
(ppondaegai are silkworm chrysalides either boiled in broth or fried in rancid soybean oil until they taste not unlike old jockstraps and sweatsox smell. They’re DIRTY, I tells ya!)
Just another example of being too slow to make the bigtime…
