Voodoo chips are bomb. On a similar note I saw these two kicking around during summer. They're both oddly good.



Tastes like a mcdonalds burg on account of the onion flavoring.



Mostly just tastes like butter flavored chips.

I like the Voodoo and the Hotter then Hot Jalapeno, but not the hot version of Voodoo. Idgi.

Then I found out Zapps also makes frozen food with Hotter than Hot Jalapeno poppers. :hellyeah: Found them in Harris Teeter where they also had the Jamaican spicy meat pastys.
I didn't find the voodoo heat that great either!! Zapps also makes a voodoo flavored battered fried pickle. Haven't found em yet though.

Oh what the gently caress I had no idea these were a thing and I need them. I bought a bag of Voodoo chips in New Orleans and got everyone in my office addicted to them too, they're so good. They remind me of a stronger version of the prawn cocktail flavor from the UK.

Voodoo is the best Zapps flavor, sadly I looked up these pickle chips and people saying they're overly salty/bland/bad :smith:

It kind of stands to reason, if they're in the frozen food aisle. I've never had a deep-fried pickle, in whole OR chip form, that survived being frozen and reheated, even in a deep-frier. Gotta have your dills, uh.

...they're pickled so it feels weird saying "fresh". But freezing removes all of the crispness and a lot of the flavor, there.

I've never had a frozen fried pickle before because I've never seen them. I wouldn't be surprised if pickles just straight-up don't freeze/reheat well.

Frozen fries and chicken can definitely come out of a fryer fine, at least at the commercial level where they being fried and frozen specifically for restaurants to refry them. I've made and eaten tons were you wouldn't guess they were from frozen. I don't know what they do differently to the same poo poo you can buy in grocery stores, but I guess they assume consumers don't deep fry.

chicken doesnt depend upon the crispiness of the chicken and the breading can be flash frozen and deep fries well

fries improve by being frozen because it deactivates the pectinases

Isn't this alleviated by flash-freezing (i.e. the slow freezing process of a non-industrial freezer causes huge ice crystals to grow which pulverize the veggies' inner structure)?

heard about the coriander cookie but hadn't seen it and without the picture, given the difference in usage of the term "coriander" between UK and US english, it didn't seem remarkable or odd at all to me. you can absolutely use coriander, the seed, as a flavoring in cookies; used to make little round coriander cookies for christmas from some "18th century" cookbook we got at a historic reenacting event

makes a lot more sense as an april fool's joke with the picture for me

Being a vegan made me a fart God. I was constantly thundering around like a truck with a ruined exhaust. My poor roommates had to have an intervention.

YOU HAVE MY POST!
It was one of the last posts in the prior thread:

fizzymercury posted:

Mercury tastes like mercury. Vaguely sweet and metallic and weirdly dense and slippery. It felt oily. It warmed up really fast and I couldn't wash it out of my mouth with water so I had to swish with mouthwash to get it out. My sense of taste got hosed up for a few days afterwards and I cried a lot thinking I was going to go insane. E: Also my hands and feet still have neuropathy from this.

It distinctly did not taste like the liquid form of the silver almonds you see at weddings, which is what dumb child me thought it would taste like. I was very disappointed in my Mother rushing me to the ER for what should have tasted like dreams.

(Don't drink your Father the Science Teacher's mercury sample.)

How recently was this? Mercury poisoning is, uh, very real, and you can get it just by handling mercury, to say nothing of swishing it around in your foodhole

Elemental mercury is less susceptible to absorbsion. It was some salt? of mercury that eats through gloves and kills you.

Which is not to say ingesting is good, and they did say they've got lasting neurological effects.

Close, organic compounds not salts though.

Dimethylmercury is the one where a drop on a latex glove kills you.

Plain old Methylmercury does this you get it from eating fish contaminated with industrial effluvium, to be thread topical.

I was 11, and I spent a long time in the hospital over it. I got to see a lot of specialists and student doctors because I'm a rare idiot. I still have extreme anxiety issues and neuropathy in my hands and feet from it. I can't have children because I still have enough elevated heavy metal levels that it would affect the fetus. I'm in three long term studies for lifelong effects of methylmercury exposure.

I'm really lucky I spit 95% of it out and washed my mouth out a bunch or I'd just be dead. It wasn't much mercury either. It was less than half teaspoon worth.

My IRL nickname in my hometown is Mercky and has been since 7th grade. Everyone knows I'm the mercury drinker and I embrace my stupidity. Also it's really kinda cool to know what mercury tastes like. Everyone that hears about it wants a detailed description of it.

Don't drink stuff that isn't food, even if you think it looks really delicious or smells good. Like antifreeze. Don't drink that either.

e: I'm still mad it didn't taste like liquid silver rainbows.
