Topic: I have officially released my first mystery box ever, fora!
Catherine !TGirlYJKXM started this discussion 9 years ago #57,411
The only mystery box that I feel is worth a subscription. It's going to feel like Halloween every month. My mother got me a subscription to MunchPak as an early Christmas gift. It's basically a pack where they send you snacks from all around the world. They allow you to customize what goes in the box too for an extra dollar to your main price. So I did this to make seafood not preferred as I am afraid of getting sent octopus. Here are the contents of my first mystery box. I already dipped into the Japanese Pocky Midis. The chocolate tasted less sweet than American chocolate. I eagerly look forward to what they send me next month.kook !!OPZbEQMT1 joined in and replied with this 9 years ago, 45 minutes later[^] [v] #737,912

Octupus is very good stuff. Chewy when served as Sushi and its more a texture thing than a flavor thing - Not really much flavor but still great mouth feel- Smoked its very tasty - In fish stews when cooked real long its much less chewy but I like the chew

I had an excellent octopus ceviche from a sushi chef in Carrollton the last time I was in New Orleans. Normally I would agree with your point about raw octopus.
If it sounds appealing I'll point you that way.

Excellent choice. I got some Korean "shrimp crackers" once and it was absolutely disgusting. It smelled like a worse version of those little flakes you feed goldfish. Had to throw the bag away after eating half of one.

I was mostly scared off by raw octopus because I heard you have to really have precise chewing or else they can get lodged in your throat suffocating you and I chew like a retard.

Yeah, I had that happen once with some poorly prepared squid soup.

I am working my ass off for a combination of reasons - Getting ready for terrific Fri Sat event with about 300,000 people in Balboa Park - December Nights - And I blew the whole day in San Francisco for reason even I have not figured out YET - Can bill for the time but am not sure I want to re complications
So I read about 50% of that article and its a good read even with fast skim - DID NOT SEE ANY TEXT RE RAW
> I was mostly scared off by raw octopus because I heard you have to really have precise chewing or else they can get lodged in your throat suffocating you and I chew like a retard.
I have eaten Sushi in Japan Korea Russia Peru and all over the States. I have not once been offered a piece of Raw Octopus - Yes I No people do it it raw but when I ask them about it they say cooked is better and frozen rather than fresh can be even better
Nor should I have said no flavor because it is very subtle. Portuguese make terrific stews with Octopus - Italians all kinds of salads and with Pasta as in the pic its FUCKING FANTASTIC
Unless I am cooking baby octopus I buy a section of the body and usually grill it - Grilling brings out sugars much in the way grilling brings out sugars as in Veggy sugars turn to Carmel
Cathy I suspect the jamming in the throat comes from eating a LIVE tentacles.
I do eat Raw Oysters which of course do NOT Move while one is chewing/killing/them and Raw Clams - On rare occasions where the Ocean a Blue water is known to be super clean I have tried Raw Mussels -
I could describe a dish but do not read on if you are squeamish. In Chinatown Boston I watched friends eating a Cooked Fish EXCEPTTHE HEAD was still Alive I chose NOT to eat that fish - Just 2 creepy

I feel like it's very cynical of me, but isn't that a box of all the crap that didn't sell and they are desperately offloading?
How many different languages have those products expired in?

You might like the Chinese shrimp flavored crackers. Extremely addictive. Probably 200+ brands of them. I suspect they are fried so right up your alley. For some reason the Koreans like a funky shrimp flavor. Dried shrimp found in China and Japan are terrific snacks except LOADED with Salt - Korea makes them somewhat fermented which gives them that funky aroma and flavor
I suspect they take bad old shrimp and save them for market by turning them into dry shrimp or shrimp crackers

Keep that up and I will feed you a reaction image that will cause you to PM me Quickly
Sewer is also a new pain in my ass (how is that for a pun) I have all of my rental properties converted to leases except one condo in Carlsbad. Stupid city dug up land right next to the condo for water lines - Year later dug it up again to drop in new Fiber lines for AT&T - Year later dug it up to drop in Fiber for Verizon - Then a couple3 years ago dug it up to put in new Sewer Lines - NOW my Renters have figured they can legally pay me less money because in the time they have lived in that unit the dust/dirt blows directly in2 their upstairs patio.
City is about to again dig up and put in a lager Sewer line and of course the older water lines need to be replaced and one wood think City wood demand the work in unison BUT City permitted only one crew at a time -
So sewer is a pain in my wallet soon2b because I cannot argue with such long term renters who have a valid point.

It was some topic about and its been a while so best guess - Which person wood you rather be with. Long string of replies and I hit Google with - Show me a most popular nude model - I put a couple of Boolean terms in the search request so the girl wood not end up with fake boobs which means limiting images to A cups -
Really surprised me that someone can put up Who wood you like to be with and not one person thought to think of a cute girl. But I chose wisely give with a request like that there are so many choices.
I found one that shall we say - Metæ had some kind of heart attack - For all I no it might have been a niece - So after a question I looked up her pedigree - Russian
I was looking for something that fit a post on TC a few weeks ago - I stopped cold in my tracks when there on the screen was a dead perfect copy of an ex-gf of many years ago. I have several of her photos up on a wall in this house loaded with Ex's - I had to grab a tablet with the pic an held it right next to the photo - Shocking accurate - AND I mean all features including hummmmm when I mention Labia details becky goes bonkers - I am so so close to work done for the night and I have this new bottle of Scotch that demands me tasting it Its calling out to me saying open me drink me please

Is that crisps, biscuits and chocolate?
Anonymous C replied with this 9 years ago, 3 minutes later, 5 hours after the original post[^] [v] #737,978
@previous (Green !BEERiVqJJw)In the states we do not use the term crisps. Biscuits only when as in the photo. Never sweet unless you put jam on them.
