That "veggie pizza" sounds vaguely like something my mom used to make for parties, though I think she used the rolled up crescent roll dough, rolled out and baked in a sheet pan. Otherwise, yeah cream cheese with some raw veggies on top sounds about right. Its pretty good, I haven't had any in a while though.

You can get grasovka, which is also a polish bison grass vodka, in little chocolate bottles. I haven't tried it myself, but I guess they wouldn't make it if it didn't sell.
Grasovka is a normal Vodka brand here in Germany (and Austria), and it's the best vodka I ever had. If you ever find it wherever it's offered, do try it; Vodka is never more than "just alcohol" with more or less chance of headaches, and Grasovka offers none of the headache with some of actual flavor. It's great.

Did you eat the foam? Or did you awkwardly shift it off to the side? Did it ever uh... defoam or liquify?
I "ate" it, mostly so I wouldn't have to look at it anymore. It remained foam until I put it in my mouth, at which point it was just strong rosewater and still not very pleasant. :(

Not a super high-end crowd. My girlfriend knew what to expect a bit and so she brought something which she felt would be simple enough - boccocini, cherry tomato, and fresh basil on skewers (i.e. to make it finger food) covered with my pricy olive oil and balsamic. The veggie pizza girl said "eeew tomatoes" when she saw it. Someone else was too weirded out by the boccocini to even touch them. Yet another said "I don't like olives" and rejected it because it had olive oil on it (that person's contribution was rip-l-chips and a tub of dip).

That makes sense, the little chocolate bottles with it were imported from Germany. I bought them once and didn't ever get around to trying them, but I might try again. Or I might just send them to my SASS santee.

Behold the dessert I had in Tokyo the other day:



The menu described it as "Rose-Scented Cassata: an ice-cream cake with plenty of rum, dried fruit, and ricotta cheese." There were no photos. I certainly didn't expect foam, which I find generally gross as well as a lazy OMG MOLECULAR GASTRONOMY shortcut. It elicited slightly worried reactions from my tablemates. I suggested it resembled a frog/fish nest; they countered with "soap".

That's where the rose scent/flavor was, so yeah, soap wasn't far off. At least the rest was delicious.

Glurg. Bad choice of foam flavor. Worst choice of foam flavor! I'm glad the rest of it was nice, though.

I like rose- and lavender-scented things, but I understand how polarizing they can be. Putting something that already kind of tastes like soap into a physical form that is highly reminiscent of soap...well.

bacon-flavored rice crackers

I really want to try these. I love rice crackers!

Here is a website with various recipes for something called "back country ramen." I have no idea what that could mean besides "white trash," and I think the recipes back me up:

Cheese-O-Rama Ramen

½ Cup ramen noodles
¼ Cup dehydrated ham
¼ Cup dehydrated peas
1 Tbsp + 1 tsp cheddar cheese powder
1 Tbsp powdered milk
Pinch crushed red pepper
1 Cup water

https://www.lonecone.com/outdoor-blog/awesome-awful-backcountry-ramen/ (There's also an amusing bit with ramen reviews at the bottom.

Granted, these recipes seemed to be aimed at campers, but...that seems really gross. also I hate peas

I'm not a fan of olive oil. Whenever my dad used it the oil would impart a sort of ham taste. He'd only buy name brand extra virgin olive oil but that counted for squat.

I wasn't sure where they claimed to come from so decided to check the brand name I remembered. It's on the list of companies that sell fake* "extra-virgin" olive oil. This isn't a surprise but it is disappointing.

*Below CA, German, and USDA standards for extra-virgin olive oil.

I went to a hors d'oeuvres potluck this weekend where one contribution was "veggie pizza".

It was some kind of crust that looked like slices of white bread squashed flat with the crusts removed, smeared with cream cheese, and topped with bits of chopped cauliflower, broccoli, and red pepper.

Someone else supplied a "crap dip" which was cream cheese, store-bought cocktail sauce, and crab. At least that was real crab. Served with bacon-flavored rice crackers.

At least we had a good laugh about it today.

Holy poo poo.

I think you have encountered Veggie "Cum" Pizza 2 of the F-Plus podcast fame. In that case the base would be packaged crescent roll dough and the "topping" would be ranch highly diluted with cream cheese to reduce its famous "spiciness".

Speaking of ham flavor things: this is a Swedish Christmas dish: Dopp i grytan (Dip in the pot)



You dip slightly stale bread in the broth that the Christmas ham was cooked in. It's salty and greasy and enjoyed just once a year for a reason.

If I even get a whiff of any kind of cooked liver at all, I will instantly dry heave. I attribute this to my parents who forced me to eat it when I was a kid, even after I told them I would hurl, and then they got mad at me when the inevitable happened.
