Trying pig nog for the first time. Can any Canadians confirm that this is the right way to prepare?

Hey does tumblr have an Official Plant because if not I have a submission to make, a very strong contender for this site!

May I present to you the genus: Amorphophallus.

Yes, Amorpho-phallus, literally Greek for the 'shapeless penis' plant.

It's the tallest flower in the world! The magnificent Shapeless Penis, dwarfing grown-ass adults with a flower that grows up to 8.2 feet, is a sight to behold.

It's also called the corpse flower, or corpse bride flower, because this beauty has "a strong odour of rotting human flesh". We love that here on tumblr.

Edit: Just found out that it is also known as the Devil's Tongue and Voodoo Lily or Voodoo Plant. So. Do with that what you will.

The root of some of these Amorphophallic beauties is edible (I've seen them lurking creepily at grocery stores, the grocer usually grabs an axe and slams it into the root to split it and sell a part). This root is known as the elephant foot yam, which is fitting, because it is large, malformed, and disturbingly hairy.

Idk a plant named shapeless penis that has an eight foot flower that smells like rotting human flesh and a hairy edible root that can grow heavier than a toddler seems very on brand for tumblr.

Here you go:

@queermarzipan thank you for inspiring this by teaching me about bell peppers.

i feel like talking about danish food so, if you had to,

1. liver paste (leverpostej), as the name suggests, it’s liver turned into a paste. a classic lunch, most often served on danish rye bread with sliced pickles, bacon, or pickled beets on top.

2. salt licorice (salt lakrids)

a weirdly popular incredibly bitter food with an even more popular slightly sweeter counterpart (regular black licorice)

3. rye/beer porridge (øllebrød)

again, weirdly popular danish dish made out of danish rye bread, sugar and beer. i remember crying every time i was served this in kindergarten

there’s like a trillion more of these but i’m lazyyyy

I bought this, so let’s go on a journey together.

7/35/24 @ 6:32 PM - I’m not planning on this being my dinner, but dinner seems a good enough time to cook it up. Strangely the instructions on the container do not have hot water instructions, only microwave instructions. I don’t currently own a microwave. I’m suspicious that something in it may not work well with just hot water, so we’ll have to pause this experiment until I get a microwave.

So no, it didn’t take me this long to buy a microwave, I just kinda forgot this thing was in the cupboard. So let’s do this.

Hm

Well. I didn’t take a picture before I cooked it, and I should have. There were a bunch of very cute marshmallows. They’re gone after cooking it in the microwave, unsurprisingly. If you’re making this for some reason, my advice is to dump out the marshmallows before cooking.

If you didn’t know this was chocolate flavored, you might guess it’s some kind of beef broth.

It’s uh.

Well. It’s surprisingly chocolatey. I’m not entirely sure how well that’s meshing with the noodles. There’s an essence of graham cracker? The broth is also thick and creamy, somehow.

It’s probably not good. I can’t tell. It’s definitely not horrifically disgusting, just really weird. It’s honestly just making me hungry for some actual ramen.

Aspic was a popular dish for hundreds of years. It is basically meat jelly. Aspic popsicle anyone?

I saw someone buying this at the store I work at the other day, and then I found it myself while shopping. The lady said she was buying it for her kid, and I hope he likes it.

Because the only question I have is: why???

Why would they greenlight this?

I mean, I like s’mores, and I like ramen, but I don’t know if they should go together.

If anyone is brave enough to try this stuff, tell me how it is.

I don't think I've won any but fortunately my favorite horrible food website has a review!

Also they are diabolical:

Out of the bag, French's Mustard Skittles have a faint mustard-y aroma. They look more or less like Lemon Skittles, which means, if you're feeling mischievous, you can sneak these into a bag of regular Skittles for someone to discover later.

The review is brief, so if you don't want to click the link the upshot is:

They have the same elements as regular Skittles, including the chewy center, crispy shell, and sweet and tart fruity base. However, overlaying that base is the uncanny taste of mustard--horseradish-like and tangy with a spicy mustard kick that takes a moment to hit you. It's weirdly impressive and puzzling combination.
