A 10 plate meal made out of a cobra in Hanoi. Including the blood and bile in the rice wine. Bonus: heart.

Everything was actually pretty good! The liver was terrible though.

We've been using this enzyme that works as a meat glue, eliminates the need for caul. It's pretty sweet.

As for my ingredient, it's Sodium Alginate. Mixing that into a liquid and then dropping dollops into a bath of calcium water makes a super thin membrane that holds a spherical shape, but pops in your mouth almost instantly. We fried liquid tzaziki by spherifying it and breading it. The inside was totally liquid, with a fried exterior. Trippy as gently caress.

I think I just got hard

Holy poo poo. You know there are probably less then a thousand Orinoco Crocodiles left in the world, right? That is super-duper endangered. And they've been protected since the 70s? (Not very well protected...) Dang. What a shame.

Some of us were alive in the 70s.
