My girl's susceptible to weebtardation sometimes, because she's been watching this channel about some gookess eating 7/11 zogslop throughout the banner asian countries thinking it "looks sooooo good"
She sends it to me and I'm just grossed out. It's not ALWAYS nasty, but the recipe is usually:
- Hang out in a gas station, noisy, solo, smelly, high foot traffic
- eat breakroom food like you're a walmart greeter on a 15 minute break
- Buy cup of ice for plastic pouch of sugar tea
- Bowl of super salty, greasy ramen using their hot water percolator (rarely cleaned, possibly in japan they do)
Then things get funky
Rot-colored tumors of various sorts and description. Generally fermented, pickled, smelly stuff fit for starving peasants in the 1200s, not first worlders in 2024. Bonus points for being brown/green on the outside, but being even LESS appetizing once she bites into it
Low-grade cheese, slimy, room temp, canola oil based
Egg, never done well, always over/underboiled
mystery meats, these too look like tumors. They never look like actual cuts, all either suasage, spam, or assimilated meat scraps formed into an efficiently commercialized shape
