I always expect to like bubble tea but the tapioca balls taste and feel like Vaseline and I see no redeeming upside to it whatsoever

Just ask for no tapioca. Usually there's options for other additions like various jellies etc or just have nothing if you don't like drinks with bits.

I've heard there are some tasty fruit jelly balls. I think I can deal with that. Honestly I haven't seen much of Seattle at all so any food/drink suggestions are totally welcome.

In Seattle, there's a circus themed bar by the needle that I liked where you could play basketball while you drink. There was also a bar with like a million pin ball machines sort of near there. Seattle was a lot of fun.

Pham Nuwen posted:Regular Coke, in the US at least, is so sticky and mouth-coatingly syrupy that I can't drink more than one small rum & coke without feeling like I need to brush my teeth. If I want to get a mixed-drink drunk on, I pull out the Coke Zero because it's less offensively artificial (to my tastebuds) than Diet Coke. Other advantage: if you get drunk and spill it, it's not sticky like regular Coke. Regular Coke, in the US, uses corn syrup which sucks in general. I agree that it's gross. These days, I try to only buy pop/soda that lists "sugar". Mexican Coke always seems better but maybe that's just me.

I tried balut this past weekend at a Filipino restaurant in New York. Sorry I did not get a picture, but I figure a lot of people know what it would have looked like, which is to say absolutely horrifying. It tasted alright. Way more wet than I would have imagined. You're supposed to crack a hole and suck out the fluid, which tasted like a pleasant salty and savory broth. Overall it tasted like a creamier, more savory hardboiled egg. It really came down to me not liking hardboiled eggs very much.

I have a queasy stomach when it comes to gross food in person. One of my old bosses brought Balut to a potluck at work, and once I saw what it was I had to make a mad dash to the bathroom. I was not alone. My old boss was kind of a dick.

Yes but I usually figure bad "luck" at a potluck would mean getting someone's crappy bean casserole, or wanda's macaroni salad not loving Balut

cash crab posted:bringmyfishback, Peep soda! FFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My best friend is meeting me in Tokyo next month; I may make him find a bottle of this and bring it to me. I feel like Peeps Milk would be better, but then I would drink a gallon of milk every day if I didn't have to walk 40 minutes to the store that sells milk.

This is my first attempt at Gumbo. I never really cooked until recently, when divorce made it kinda necessary.  It tastes fantastic, I SWEAR. Need to get better at photographing food.

I also recommend using the unflavored gelatin trick if you don't make your own stock - I did it and it turned out excellent.

subpar anachronism posted:No actual picture, but this made me unhappy and a little sick just to read Eh. It's dumb and orthorexic but it probably tastes ok. Not as good as real chocolate with cocoa butter and maybe some milk solids, but fine if you like bitter chocolate. Though since it's coconut oil it shouldn't need to be frozen, it should be solid at room temp.

That actually looks very similar to Trader Joe's refrigerated Thai coconut milk curry. I just had some today and it tastes surprisingly delicious for refrigerated, reheated curry. But it does look pretty unappetizing and dull.

Pizza burgers in the states are just regular burgers but with mozzarella and pizza sauce thrown on it. Guess this means I'm gonna have to go to Canada. They have them in Toronto right?

Probably. My husband ordered one the other day (Calgary) and didn't really like it. He said that with the sealed "bun" and only meat and cheese inside, all the grease stayed inside and it was a very unappealing texture. I ended up eating his leftovers because he only had half but by then it was just a congealed thick hockey puck of bread and meat.
