Bad Food

Asian Seafood Raised on Pig Feces Approved for U.S. Consumers

 

 

At Ngoc Sinh Seafoods Trading & Processing Export Enterprise, a seafood exporter on Vietnam’s southern coast, workers stand on a dirty floor sorting shrimp one hot September day. There’s trash on the floor, and flies crawl over baskets of processed shrimp stacked in an unchilled room in Ca Mau.

Elsewhere in Ca Mau, Nguyen Van Hoang packs shrimp headed for the U.S. in dirty plastic tubs. He covers them in ice made with tap water that the Vietnamese Health Ministry says should be boiled before drinking because of the risk of contamination with bacteria. Vietnam ships 100 million pounds of shrimp a year to the U.S. That’s almost 8 percent of the shrimp Americans eat.

There's a reason this bumper sticker is on just about every third pick-up truck (and quite a few cars) around these parts!

To find the bits for Chicken Tikka Masala. Which is why the British Empire is over...........they found heaven in a karai.

 

Invented in London by a Bangladeshi -- the ethnicity that brought "Indian" food to the UK -- in the early 1970's when an Englishman was served Chicken Tikka....dry spiced...and asked "wheres me gravy?"; one can of condensed milk and Heinz Tomato Soup later, voila! Chicken Tikka Masala = The Last Good Thing Made In England.

Made the mistake of eating unknown shrimp last night. The gastrointestinal revolt at midnight last night is my own damn fault.

I've never had the urge to eat a McDonald’s McRib Sandwich. I've always called it the Plywood Pork Sandwich because, the "meat" is so coated with the sauce that the eater cannot clearly see that the patty resembles plywood - unrelated ingredients pressed together in a cookie-cutter mold. The link pretty much proves I have been somewhat right all along.

Bon appetite

 

Even when we were infants, the idea of coprophagy (the consumption of feces, guys) was gross, but apparently some very high-minded journalists over at Gawker are still dying to know: is it or isn’t it safe to eat your own poop?

 

Luckily enough for them, science was ready with the answer. And luckily enough for all you latent Phils and Lils out there, the answer wasn’t pretty.

(It’s yes, by the way. Yes you can eat your own poopy-poop.)

The gist is that while urine is sterile and poop isn’t, both are perfectly safe to eat, because all the bacteria in poop is 100% yours.

Looks like advice Maxx should have considered.

So, we can say that "Eat shit!" is not that bad insult after all?

Supposedly a contender for the worst tasting and smelling food of them all is Swedish Surstromming, which is canned fermented Baltic herring. Anyone one have any experience with this stuff, and know of anything worse? I have seen videos of people trying to eat it right from the can and many end up vomiting. I guess if you eat it the correct way with the right condiments it is supposed to be more palatable. Two other contenders for worst tasting food I can think of is stinky tofu, and fermented bean curd. I have seen their taste and smell described as that of what you would find in a babies diaper. I have never tried any of the three and do not have any immediate plans to.

That reminds me of bringing some jars of those judiones, or giant white beans to the I&I.

When you see how the can of Surströmming bulges, you can safely say that it's natures way to say: "Do not open!"

Twinkies.....the zombie confection.

[Ivanhoe]

The countdown clock is ticking!

Twinkies are very edible (not sure I'd call them "tasty"). Hell, after WWZ, you might be damned grateful to find some Twinkies. What always creeped me out is Hostess Snoballs;

Fake coconut, fake marshmallow, and oozy guts, colored Pepto pink. Texture of a sponge. Urrrrrrrp.

[Simon Tan]

I was 35 when I had my first Twinkie. I had seen them in comic ads since I was 4.

Twinkie’s legendary shelf life is getting even longer.

 

The leaner, non-union Hostess Brands — looking to get by with fewer bakeries under new ownership — will start freezing Twinkies and other snack cakes to extend their expiration date instead of delivering them directly to stores, The Post has learned.

 

It’s a myth that Twinkies have an infinite shelf life. The seemingly indestructible snack cake actually expires after 45 days.

 

The old Hostess baked Twinkies, HoHos, Ding Dongs and other goodies at nine plants and got them on shelves within 48 hours using its own delivery drivers.

 

Now the plan is to bake goodies at five plants and freeze them before shipping them through independent drivers to supermarket warehouses, according to sources.

 

Stores would defrost them and restock the shelves as needed.

 

If Hostess used radiation for a really extended shelf life, they'd sell millions to preppers.

Gross. When I was growing up, my siblings and I used to help out at a yearly rodeo my Aunt helped manage. Part of what we got to do was help pack tons and tons of lunches for school kids who came to visit the rodeo. Every lunch got a Hostess snack in it. What ever was left over after packing all the lunches, my parents took home and froze. Hostess snacks do not stand up well to being frozen then defrosted.

These are Twinkie Mk2ZAs, (Zombie Apocalypse Rations). They will become the snack of choice in apocalyptia.

Most bread-like things don't. I'm a little skeptical that they've really tested this new distro system.

Hostess had discount stores where you could buy their products that they had pulled from Super Market and other stores shelves because they were too old and they then sold them at a discount. My parents stocked up on bread from the discount store, then froze it. Like Hostess snacks, the bread was equally gross coming out of the freezer. Though the bread we bought, Honeywheat, was pretty damn fine if it was fresh in my opinion.

I routinely freeze bread, rolls, and bagels.They're usually fine when defrosted.
