Oddly enough, I never ate the ketchup ones by themselves, only after my friends ate them with the beef and cheddar ones would I eat them, and then ONLY with the beef and cheddar ones. But then again, now knowing that I come by my taste & texture issues honestly and that I'm not just a "picky eater" (oh how I HATE that phrase!), the odd food things I used to, and for some foods, still do, make more sense now. :hungry:
It's texture for me, stringy stuff.
 
What do sloe berries taste like? I have had green plums, and they are from the same family.

Blackthorn berries AKA sloe berries can be used to prepare gin.

Google is your friend.
 
That cheesecake looks delicious.

But it needs to have digestive biscuits crumbled at the base. Ha-ha. :D
 
I actually seen cactus figs for sale outside a fruit shop this afternoon.

I see some are listed as usd prices, are all of them in usd? I freaked out once when someone told me they spent $450 for a pizza to be delivered. When the currency was converted to usd it was around $20

Yes, all in US currency!
I can understand the prices on most of those things (well, the belt pants, the perfume and the sunglasses are silly, but not a shock) but the expresso machine?
How many operations could afford that?

@Blunderbuss Firozabad I met The Enigma! One of my very very few fun facts lol

Ran into him post-concert trying to find my stupid friend that I'd split up with earlier in the evening because she was afraid to get close to the stage. Lol.


Which Enigma?!! Your post is an enigma!

Was your friend afraid to get near the stage because maybe she spotted Enigma first? :D ;) :p

The one with the puzzle pieces!!

That is... Possible lol. He did some pretty questionable things in his act. :cool:

I hate to talk shit about her too much because she DID take me there for my birthday, but she was afraid of being up front and being pulled into possible mosh pits or general crowd unruliness.

But it was NIN, not like, Pantera.

And I wanted to see Trent Reznor, dammit! Had to leave her ass. Not the last time I abandoned pussy ass friends at a show I really wanted to see, either.
 
@Josh P

It's really easy to go down a rabbit hole with the Enigma. There's Miss Mexicos, The Barclay twins, Lady Hiroko, castles, islands, fueds.

But here's more about the Enigma

"Because of the amount of fuel consumed when using the turbine engine for full speed cruising, the owner also commissioned a fuel tanker to provide refueling capabilities mid-journey."

I actually recently bought a whole jackfruit for £30, I think. It looked a funny colour inside. It was a bitch trying to cut through it, and it tasted variably pleasant to pretty vile.

It tastes like mango, but without that sweet kick of mango. The fruit is very messy too, and while it looks like it's related to durian, it's not. Durian is from the mallow family, whereas jackfruit is related to mulberries and figs.

That was interesting @Flask, thanks for sharing your experience.

It got me interested and very first thing I ran across was this whole jackfruit in a box for $99 so I looked into growing jackfruit and a tree takes about 3 to 4 years of growth before it starts producing fruit and young trees produce around 150 to 200 fruit a year, older trees can produce up to 500.
And if you figure $99 for each fruit?

Just think, 4 years from now, you could have $19,000 + of crop.

Obviously there's other costs, market variable, spoilage, but overall, as a money crop, it beats all the other orchard tree crops, from pecans to apples.
By a LOT!

Got any seeds left @Flask?

It's being used as a meat substitute in tacos and whatnot here in the southwest and I suppose other areas.

Here's the fruit and vegie section from a local Hispanic foods market. Or that would be Latino foods?

Most are very familiar to everyone, but some, maybe not as much so.
Tomatillos, chayote squash, dragonfruit, hibiscus, etc. There's usually a variety of bananas and plantains as well,

Here's some others I see a lot when they're in season:

Here's the dragonfruit again. It looks neat, white with black flecks


 
At $99 each, I'd plant a few trees. There's websites that sell seeds for almost anything you want to grow.
It looks very doable in Arizona.
You just need to keep it watered to mimic the tropical climate, plant Queens Anne lace around tlit to encourage bug eating bugs, massage it with neem oil and don't nick it with your machete because that may lethally wound it, and boom, you have a side income in 3-4 years.

I wonder if there's a Jackfruit Advisory Board formed yet?

This isn't a great post, but I panicked. I wanted to put something more than
@Josh P between us and that post.

I wish I could save you all, but if you're here, it's too late.

And I think that bear costume is a bad idea, btw.

I couldn't find anything scary enough to frighten that post out of your heads. I'm really sorry.
Thanks and if anyone questions it, I was being sarcastic
