All those foods I haven’t posted about yet
Yep, that’s pretty much where I am.
Except I’ve gone so far as to even be slacking on taking the pictures in the first place. Wait. Worse yet. I’m still not back to cooking yet. Gasp. The most creative dish I’ve made in months was spaghetti….and I didn’t even pair it with a sauce.
And yet, as I’ve been going back through those pictures from the last few years (yes, I’m still doing that), I can still taste some of the foods I’ve tried. Some not so great ones (like the basil ice cream…/shudders), but mostly awesome, amazing food.
I’m just hoping I can get around to more of them before I forget all the stories they come with. And if not, that’s okay…because they were delicious at the time and that’s all that matters, right?
Except for that ice cream. I’m still trying to forget that one. Ew.
What does snake taste like?
I’m pretty sure this counts as the most realistic cake I’ve seen. We’ve seen a lot of lookalikes, but it’s usually pretty obvious that it’s not “the real thing.” In this case, it’s pretty freakin’ close, don’t you think?
(And thanks for passing this my way, Dave. :D)
Honey toast boxes – Who needs sliced bread?
No really. Who needs sliced bread when you can have unsliced bread boxes instead.
I originally found this via Crustabakes and this is how she described the “honey toasts” that are so popular as Asian desserts:
Basically, the interior of the bread is removed via a slit made at the bottom of the loaf. They are then buttered and given a light toasting before they are replaced back in the bread boxes with a drizzle of honey. They are usually topped with ice cream and (you) can imagine how wonderful it is when the ice cream melts and soaks up the underlying bread pieces.
That sounds even better than it looked, huh? And she made hers with rum pastry cream instead of the ice cream, so I’m sure it was quite delicious regardless.
It really made me want to know more about the bread boxes, though.
And googling that was obviously a mistake. Sooo many drool-worthy pictures.
