Your Friday Beauty and (Parts of) the Beast

I would suggest admiring La Taylor and then moving along. Don't say you weren't warned.

This week I delved back into the bizarre world of Korean snack foods and came back with "Headless Ching Chang Anchovy w/ Sesame." They look like animal poop:

But their looks aren't the worst part. Remember how last week the fishiness of the squid nearly got to me three times? Well this week, ladies and gentlemen, the vomit has landed. Sadly I didn't have access to the Girl's laptop at the time and, figuring this was going to be a walk in the park after the squid, decided a quick cell phone video clip would suffice. Boy was I ever wrong. Sadly, the worst/best moment of this whole experiment is now preserved in nothing but a short, barely discernible video clip. The retching begins at about the :12 mark, and after spitting out whatever was currently being chewed in my trash can I quickly had to run to the bathroom and full on hurl. That's the rustling you hear in the background for the remainder of the clip. Enjoy! I didn't.

And just think...

… we didn’t even play anybody last week. I tell you, if we lose to LSU, you’re going to have one damn legitimate beef with the Football Gods.

Comer, have you ever eaten an anchovie? I did once my mistake.

In my late teens I worked for Domino’s Pizza when Domino’s was still a baby and we offered anchovies as a topping. Imagine taking all of the fishiness contained in a Blue Whale, no let’s make it a school of Blue Whales if such a thing exists, and condensing it down to something the size of a sardine. Then package it in a Korean store that the health inspectors won’t even enter.

Bravo Todd. That was just nasty.

Sorry, anchovy. So nasty I can't even spell it.

In my defense, I ran it through spell check and the only suggestion I got was “Ewww”

If you can't keep it down

It doesn’t count! If we lose, i’ll know who to blame.

I'm in no condition to drive...wait! I shouldn't listen to myself, I'm drunk.

I feel the opposite way.

If he CAN keep it down, it doesn’t count. Way to go, Todd. With the exception of the pickled pig lips and the squid, I’ve had reason to question some of your selections (they were obviously acceptable to the football gods, but the fact that our wins got slimmer and slimmer suggests that you needed to take it up a notch). You have outdone yourself – I hope you have some incredibly nasty things planned for the post season (snake wine, perhaps?)!

Dude you

need to try a nice steaming bowl of Pho. Delicious Vietnamese soup with tons of vegetables in a fish stalk and traditionally served with:

The more experimental you feel, and the higher your tolerance for fatty cuts and more “exotic” fare, the further down the menu you will venture. Beef tendon (gân) and tripe, thinly sliced beef stomach lining (sách), provide chewy and crunchy texture.

There’s a new(ish) phở place in Birmingham that we could take him too. Also, a guy I work with is married to a Vietnamese girl and said they eat super traditional at home. I can maybe hook some of that up.

I know of a Chinese place in town where he can eat beef tendon, which is truly nasty. I almost puked when I ate it.

Holy Crap

that was painful to watch. Anchovies are actually good in puttanesca sauce (sauce of the hooker, my friend says), not really sure i’d get near those things you tried to eat.

(sauce of the hooker, my friend says)

That was a rather hilarious walk back from the stadium the night that conversation was occurring.

Todd......

if that doesn’t do it nothing will…….well done my friend……when I was at the Capstone, my pledge brother and I lived in an apartment on 10th ave, and needless to say we neither cooked nor cleaned: in fact, we probably cleaned more than we cooked. At any rate, there was alot of take out chinese involved. My favorite was always mongolian beef. Well once we passed out after a chinese food extravagansa and somehow a container of mongolian fell behind the couch, not to be discovered for six months……I thought that never again would I see a food item that resembled that half year old mongolian, but your anchovies look exactly like that…….kudos on eating that, you are a true fan…….
