the easiest way to ...balut is actually really good.<br />the easiest way to cook them is just boil them for like 15 minutes like a regular hard boiled egg.<br />some people serve it with a little vinegar to temper the flavor, but i've never needed it. to me it tastes like a regular hardboiled egg and the little ducky tastes similar to chicken liver. you should try it for sure :)toe-kneenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27945607.post-44900454618807987592009-09-09T21:56:24.779-04:002009-09-09T21:56:24.779-04:00I'm -assuming- we're talking about the sam...I'm -assuming- we're talking about the same thing here - - I've had those Banquet cheese-covered meat patties...<br /><br />Cover anything in cheese and I'm sold, & my first experiences with these 'meals' were pretty decent for, like, a buck twenty-five... but either I have really terrible luck or something's amiss, because the last two times I had 'em I found weird material inside. Time before last was a hair, definitely not mine, packaged in & pokin' outta the frozen cheese sauce, plain as day. The last time was a bunch of crumbly, blackened, soot-like stuff top of the meat, that might've just been burnt patty or something, but it was kinda unappetizing. <br /><br />Be careful when you crack open one of these, man. Not trying to kill your buzz on these, it's just that I've pretty much sworn 'em off outta fear that there will be something even worse in the next one. :\J.

T...Banner sausage is nasty.<br /><br />Posted 9-28-01 to NCE:<br />The sausage, on the other hand: an adventure. It<br />came out of the can wet and pink, rather vomitous-<br />looking, with a strong smell of tripe. I fried up a<br />small patty just to see what it would do, and it<br />refused to stay patty-shaped but rather oozed around<br />a bit forming a tough brown crust on the bottom; the<br />crust tasted like tripe; the pink liquidy insides<br />tasted sort of like tripe but also sort of canned hash.<br />Not by any stretch of the imagination resembling any<br />kind of sausage, unless there is a kind of andouillettes<br />that are uglier than the ones that I have already tried.Michaelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27945607.post-34738058621996906822009-09-09T11:27:39.286-04:002009-09-09T11:27:39.286-04:00Hi Dave!

Your blog is cracking me up, especially the dollar store nightmares (I've actually seen those La Sierra beans LOL) <br />And I have a couple suggestions for your grail list...<br /><br />giant beetle larvae/sago worm (if you ever happen to find yourself in the jungles of Malaysia)- they taste like sweet shrimp. I guess a suitable alternative would be silkworm pupa (check the aisles of your Asian supermarket)<br /><br />poutine (a true Canadian delicacy)<br /><br />century egg, one of my favorite foods (a good stepping stone before balut?!)<br /><br />grass jelly (Asian supermarket aisles) - add to brown sugar, evaporated milk and ice cubes to make a refreshing drink<br /><br />Looking forward to reading more of your blog :)<br /><br />p.s. I've been looking everywhere for those coconut M&Ms but I think the limited time period is over :(Phyllishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11964849431612656642noreply@blogger.com
