Picnic Princess posted:http://honeybeesweets88.blogspot.ca/2011/11/steamed-flower-tofu-and-pear-soup-with.html Century eggs actually taste pretty good. The smell will turn your stomach but the taste is actually fairly pleasant. Although you spend the next few hours desperately holding back any burps. A lot of those preserved foods aren't meant to be entire alone, its one of those "dare to do things". Durian can be made into some pretty tasty dishes but trying to eat it fresh by itself is nearly impossible.

Deep-fried century eggs are not bad, if you put enough salt and pepper on them. Kung Pao century eggs are the best way to eat century eggs. It takes away all the horse piss flavor and replaces it with spicy saucy grease. All other preparations of century eggs are loving foul. e: I live in Taiwan and I like stinky tofu and goddamn baijiu, trust me century eggs are awful and if you disagree you're a wrong person

Yeah what's wrong with eating just an egg? Why go out of your way to make it as repulsive as possible? I know that a lot of hyper-disgusting foods were originally invented as a means of preservation/survival, but poo poo man it's 2014. You do not have to bury your polar bear bile sac in a dead seal's rectum for 14 months before you can eat it.

Throatwarbler posted:The black stuff is century egg, the pink is spam, and the white is progably regular egg, that looks like a steamed egg bowl with a bunch of somewhat unusual filling, but its probably pretty tasty. Google says the english term for this is "egg custard" but I don't think that's right, custard to me means something sweet. That is clearly not SPAM.

It takes away all the horse piss flavor and replaces it with spicy saucy grease. "Baijiu" doesn't taste particularly worse than any other grain alcohol because that's all it is. "Stinky tofu" is simply tofu coated in something that oxidizes when fried in oil, so that in the process of cooking it gives off a foul smell. It doesn't actually taste of anything except ordinary tofu, that is bland as gently caress. White people who say they like it are the definition of try-hard. Century eggs are pretty good, but a big part of the draw for me is the creamy texture of the yolk. Straight out of the shell, either in a salad or congee, is the only way to eat it. Deep frying a century egg sounds horrible and I can't imagine why anyone would do such a thing.

Like what about stewed stinky tofu, that hasn't touched oil at all Also how does something oxidize in oil Also what about the texture, are you seriously telling me there's a vast conspiracy to pass off 凍豆腐 sprayed with artificial poo poo flavor as genuinely handcrafted stinky tofu, fermented for months by some pock-marked grandfather somewhere? Are you trying to destroy my world?

quadrophrenic posted:Like what about stewed stinky tofu, that hasn't touched oil at all Look, this is more effort than I have ever put into learning more about stinky tofu, but I looked it up on wikipedia quote:The traditional method for producing stinky tofu is to prepare a brine made from fermented milk, vegetables, and meat; the brine can also include dried shrimp, amaranth greens, mustard greens, bamboo shoots, and Chinese herbs.[1] The brine fermentation can take as long as several months. SO yeah, they don't spray it on, they just let it soak in a big vat of the poo poo. mea loving culpa. I've had the stuff plenty of times and it just tastes like regular tofu because surprise that's what it actually is.

I generally find this guy charming in that amateurish way, but sometimes things just go downhill fast with his versions of western dishes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e59erF1YiFA It's all fine and dandy sounding up until ketchup for sauce. What would the texture of mochi be like cooked that way? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnVezhvBOzY Mashed potatoes, bread, pizza sauce, and that plastic cheese crap. At least even the gross stuff has some decent presentation. I know Domino's sold some grody rear end mayonnaise pizzas, but I don't know how widespread that sort of thing is outside of them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSL1L26ylqA This seems like some poo poo that people would eat up at a state fair.

Mayo sauce on pizza is a Japanese thing, it's very popular and common there. Although they use kewpie mayo rather than like, Hellemans so it's tangy.

Pomp posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnVezhvBOzY I never found real cheese in Japan, it was plastic slices, cream cheese in triangles or pre-shredded for pizza (and that was in Hokkaido, the home of Japan's dairy industry). It made me sad.

According to a teacher in high school, the Japanese regard cheese as a kind of spoiled milk and don't understand why we consider it food.

Dairy products aren't really a part of many Asian cuisines. Makes sense that the general understanding of cheese there is Kraft singles.

Are you thinking of China? There's plenty of cheese in Japan, but not a lot of variety available for at-home use unless you go to specialty stores. My favorite Japanese baked goods contain Camembert and are spectacular; you can find at least one at every bakery. I had a delicious ham and Maribo sandwich at a Japanese Starbucks. Swiss cheese is likewise not unheard of.
