    So a few years ago in Austin I randomly had lunch at a place called Banger's, which is a German sausage house and beer garden. Tons of great house-made sausages topped with house-made sauerkraut and a house-made whole grain mustard that will absolutely blow the lid off your dome, and about a bajillion taps of various great beers.

    Much to my delight, they're still around, so I swung by there for lunch today. It was still as delicious as it was in 2016.

    I, uh, may have purchased 3 jars of their mustard and UPS'd them home to myself. Maybe. A little bit.

    German food is so dangerous for my family.
    My wife would eat soft pretzels and beer for every meal if she was allowed.

    Had a bratwurst with sauerkraut and mustard, house made kettle chips, and warsteiner dunkel when I went to Disney. I think I could have that meal forever.

    Yo Bangers used to have the most killer hangover cure at their Sunday brunches - it was like a pile of french fries covered in barbecued brisket and fried egg - maybe cheese too? - with some pickled stuff on the side. God it was good.

    It doesn't look like it's on the menu anymore, which is tragic, although they do have french fries covered in steak and eggs still I guess.

    Oh hey "bad" "food" thread.

    I tried balut while I was on holiday in Vietnam.

    I guess it's all the rage there as a snack.

    Spoilers for pic of, y'know, balut:

    It was okay, honestly? Except visually it is Extremely Upsetting and I won't be eating it again for that reason.

    I'll bet you a thousand bucks they'd still make that for you as long as they have the ingredients on hand. Those guys are awesome.

    Having now had 1.5 days of eating the food around here again, I really wish the politics of Texas as a whole weren't so misaligned with my personal beliefs because I really fucking love Austin.

    I can't tell what that photo is. Is it fish?

  • Lost SalientLost Salient blink twice if you'd like me to mercy kill youRegistered User regular
    Mine?

    Balut is a fertilised and partially developed duck egg that you then boil and eat.

    I am hungry but the idea of eating a cold cut sandwich or any other "Cold" type meal makes my stomach curl right now i want something warm and hearty but my family is actively preventing me from cooking food right now so it's "Cold food or starve."

    Tell them you want/need something hot, and either they make or get it for you, or you WILL do it yourself.

    4 Itchy tasty.

    The compromise to the "It's too hot to run the oven right now." was to set a fire and cook hotdogs over it outside. It's good very tasty very warm in my belly

    It isn't very crunchy. Only a little... textured differently from a hard-boiled egg. I realize I'm probably horrifying people by describing it, though.

    I didn't have any surprise hot dogs in Vietnam at all, although I did have surprise NOT a hot dog at a bar - looked like a corn dog, ended up being ground pork and prawn. Go figure. (also technically less nice for me since I don't eat prawn as a rule.)

    Yep, that’s balut.

    My usual go to is “if it tastes good it is food now”, but on this one I think I’m with you

    plus also this includes things like anti-freeze, which is definitely a sometimes food if ever there was one, right?

  • PinfeldorfPinfeldorf Yeah ZestRegistered User regular
    Antifreeze is useful only as a garnish, tbqh.

    I had balut once. You can get them at different stages. 18 day doesn't have any bones, 19 day has the developed cartilage that will develop into bones, etc. Don't quote me on the days, but that's how it works.

    There was an H-Mart (Korean market) around the corner from me over on Garden Grove Blvd (in, oddly enough, Garden Grove, CA) that I'd buy fresh noodles, kimchi, veggies, sauces, etc from. I swung over, intending to get a bowl of Pho and then do some shopping when I noticed they were having some kind of food fair out front.

    I ended up getting an oyster pancake/omelet (kind of a cross between the two, but with oysters and other stuff), a slice of durian fruit, and a balut egg. I'd never wanted to go out of my way to try balut, but once I was there, I figured 'why not?'. It wasn't boiled... it was cooked in a big wok full of sand.

    Had my food, and noticed that there were two sitting areas set up, with one of them displaying a big sign that said 'NO DURIAN'.

    So I headed over to the other sitting area and ended up eating my lunch with a Filipina couple about my age and discussed cultural food differences. The oyster pancake/omelet was delicious. The balut was... not bad. I used soy sauce as the seasoning and it kind of overpowered anything else, but there was nothing offputting about it at all. The durian was something I still have dreams about. I so wish I could get durian out here in AZ. Just magnificent.

    Anyhow, I won't go out of my way to have balut again, but if the chance pops up again I won't immediately avoid it. I'll consider it.

  • Lost SalientLost Salient blink twice if you'd like me to mercy kill youRegistered User regular
    Yeah. Far and away the appearance/concept is the most upsetting thing about it, at least unless it's further developed - I believe I've also heard similarly (that you can buy them at different stages).

    I looove durian except for the fact that it gives you durian burps for hours after eating it. If I could banish those I'd probably eat it all the time during the season. But Mangosteen and soursop remain reigning champions of tropical fruits.

    You know who else SUPER LOVES eating durian? @Veldrin
