The sweet corn one might not be a complete failure, I thought. Corn is sweet and so is soda, so maybe the flavors would work?

It wasn't really anti food porn but I don't know where else to post this completely useless anecdote - Today I went to a Chinese restaurant and had some frog's legs. They were basil seasoned. Tasted like a baked chicken leg. It was actually rather disappointing, even though I enjoyed them.

I would say bacons identity is the cut more than the curing or preserving process.

But bacon can be made from several different cuts. :confused:

Speaking of bacon, I tried a maple bacon donut yesterday (not my pic, but it looked just like this):



I know it's not new or unique anymore, but I was really disappointed. The flavors just didn't seem to mesh at all. :(

If you get it as a slab unsliced and cube it, what do you call the result? (Is pancetta bacon?)

Never seen one with bacon bits instead of a strip. The last one I had was a maple long john with a single strip of candied bacon on top. Delicious.

Frog is popular in Chinese cuisine. In Taiwan, there are frog farms (maybe in China too, idk).

They have them a few times a month at the local buffet. They are way fishier-tasting there than I remember them being anywhere else, though.

Yesterday was payday, and I spotted these in the store. They'd been sitting there for well over a month untouched and I figured gently caress it, let's see how bad they really are.



The sweet corn one might not be a complete failure, I thought. Corn is sweet and so is soda, so maybe the flavors would work?

It smelled like canned corn, overwhelmingly sweet and like a sickly reminder of having to choke down overcooked, gummy loose corn at family dinners. The flavor was actually worse, like the entire thing had been pureed with an entire cup of sugar.

Weirdly enough, the bacon one wasn't as bad as it could have been. Maybe my standards have been lowered by all the lovely fake bacon flavoring that's out there. It was like weirdly sweet soda with a strange, smokey aftertaste; not delicious in any sense of the word, but it didn't taste like carbonated bacon bits.

I poured both down the sink.

I tried the buffalo wing flavor of these once. It tasted like onions, spit, and hate.

And yes, pancetta is just a specific way of making bacon.

I was ready to would this so hard, but then I saw the burgers themselves and they actually looked too delicious to be tampered with at all.

They ruined those burgers. I would still try it but I would be sad about the burgers.

I saw something like this at my local Koreasian superstore. I'll pick it up the next time I'm over there and will report.

Frog legs are not unheard of here in MI, either, prepared like lake perch (dredged in flour and pan-fried), though they were a lot more popular when I was a kid--and even then, it was definitely more for the older folks. I don't know what culture gave rise to that dish here--French?--but my father enjoyed the horrified look on our Japanese exchange student's face when he ordered them at a local seafood restaurant. He did an impression of a frog in a wheelchair to drive the point home.

A guy hosed up making kusa mochi, and dumped it all over the place. And it looks like poo poo, hence the pun.

Yep, and it's actually pretty good too. I've had a couple of different brands while living in China. Corn on the cob is a pretty common street vendor item along with whole baked sweet potato.
