Culinary Atrocities - Crimes against food

[Caesare]

Prions, dude. That's one thing I'll never eat.

It's not that it's very likely. It's vastly unlikely. It's that it's a really, really unspeakably Lovecraftian horror level of way to die.

I guess it's like trying the puffer fish in Japan lol.

I'm thinking it is more along the lines of salmonella or e.coli though. As long as it's cooked well it wouldn't be a problem, though I've never scrambled eggs mixed with pig brains so idk...

Why hasn't anyone posted any English dish yet?

British cuisine is not horrifying, just sad.

I'd definitely eat fugu, though. Sure, you can die from it, but it's a pretty quick death by neurotoxin.

Prion diseases are utterly horrifying and can go on for decades, as your brain is rotted into a sponge and you turn into a drooling psychopath and inevitably die in a way that makes Alzheimer's look like an amusement park ride.

That'll depend on your genetics honestly, like example, Kuru is no longer a major threat.

Steak and kidney pie sounds like it would be delicious though.

 

[Ceiling Kitten]

This shit right here is extremely upsetting to me. White people are paying $20+ per pie for this nonsense.

I'd probably dig the Country Style one if it didn't have chicken, because corn and cheese are a surprisingly good combo. The rest, however? Ewwwwww...

I'd try breast m!lk ice cream just for the novelty. It's somebody designed for human consumption anyway, so who cares. What amuses me more is that it seriously looks like the full text of the card in the tray beside it is 'taking the piss'.

Unless you plan on eating grandma' s brain after she croaks that's not very likely.

Kombucha is a sin against tea and nature itself.

I hate the name because I expected it to be tea made with kelp (kombu). What we call kombucha is called kocha kinoko in Japan.

 

[MysticMisty]

Not where I'm from. Must be a Yankee thing, because I've never seen tuna casserole in my life nor have I ever heard of anyone making it or eating it. I guess I'm spoiled when it comes to food though, living in the culinary capital of the nation.

I'm not sure it's actually that common. Both my parents are from New Jersey and not once were they ever served tuna casserole growing up. My mom even regards it as something of a joke dish, in that you hear about it, but she's never met anyone anywhere that actually makes the stuff.

Kombucha is pretty nice tasting but if you drink it thinking it's good for you then you're very fucking wrong. Drank that shit for a week or so and it not only did nothing, but it actually makes shit worse.

It's good for the taste, anything else though just drink regular tea.

"Taking The Pist" is a great name for a pistachio flavored ice cream.
