And here's my food talk. Decided to get some BBQ. Some pork skewers, but a lot of innards. Chicken and pork intestine, gizzards, blood cubes, and most importantly bulaklak. Translates to flower. Rolled pork fat, the stuff covering the small intestines. If BBQed, pretty easy to screw up. Cook too long, bitter as hell, don't clean enough and you have a vague taste of piss or crap. Just right, tender, flavorful. Amazing, meaty flavor.
Also, fun facts. BBQed misc parts have fun names here. For example, chicken feet is called adidas, chicken head is helmet, and blood cubes are betamax.

Been a while, here's my random food talk.
Thanks to a VTuber, I found out that corned beef is different in the West. Like from there, it looks like spam where you gotta slice it. Here it's shredded. Makes for a great meal. Cook some garlic then onions then add the canned corned beef. Diced potatoes and other veggies optional. Great meal on rice, even as a sandwich.
And here's the VTuber that I mentioned. Very fun to see the chat play the annoying fool and Millie being the straight man and yelling at them.

Again, gotta reiterate mostly for the benefit of myself. I'm all right with saying a VTuber's past VTuber persona or other self when it comes to streaming. Limit is obviously talking about their personal life.
With that said, Delutaya now has her live2D. Formerly Mano Aloe from hololive's fifth gen. Wish her the best.

I've never related to Punk more than when he said he wears the long bois when he can't be bothered to shave his thighs. Co-signed and like...can we take a minute to acknowledge that the way leg- and body-shaving is handled in wrestling is just the weirdest thing? Body-shaving has been used as a sissy heel trait as recently as FTR's last few WWE appearances, but like, everyone does it. Obviously everyone does it. The guys who don't shave their chests at least shave their legs. Guys with hairy backs have gotten "shave your back" chants. It's this truly bizarre showcase of how men are theoretically not supposed to shave their legs, but once they're on TV, they're supposed to have hairless legs and we all ignore that they got those by shaving? Never understood why having hairy legs is bad. Can't grow a beard fast enough, and frankly as cool it is to get one getting my moustache too long (which takes a long time) gets in the way of eating for me. I don't want sauce and stuff on my face, and the hairs can touch my lips and go in my mouth. Also gross. Hair beloq my knees though. I like it, and it's the least sweaty part where hair is. so also good.

I'm beginning to think if anyone leaked anything, it's Punk himself. Pure speculation on my part, but there's so much documented hypocrisy and "doth protest too much" in his statements and actions, he thinks he's playing 4D Candy Land.Rick from Blind Wave: "Candy Land f***ing sucks. Why the hell would Punk want to play it? This just means the Elite have better taste in games than Punk, so I'm with the Elite." I mean Everything I do is right and correct and everyone will agree with me, is a trait of narcissism. So you're saying he should have gotten Luger's old gimmick? Zod, 3 Musketeers are so damn good. You watch Blind Wave? Noice.

So far, a few brief power outages, but nothing too bad. Just a bit of extra wind. Helps that the area I'm in is somewhat elevated so flooding is unlikely.
And that burger I got from a relative, despite reheating it on a microwave hits so good. Bun is a large pandesal. Flame grilled burger from the taste of it, meaty and lots of it. Mushrooms and melted cheese, still gooey even with a microwave. Good mayo under the burger. No veggies. Plain but every ingredient works its job well. And it's a big burger, so I'm still loaded hours later.

Punk could have raised two good points that we'd probably be praising him for- 1. he doesn't have to explain what happened with him and Colt 2. leaking stuff to the media is pathetic All of that is negated by bringing up Colt in the first place so he could rant, claiming the PPV only made money because of him, naming specific people with zero proof and going scorched earth on one of his coworkers and his bosses in a public setting. All in all, Punk talked about his grievances towards the people he feels who wronged him. Just him. Sure, mentioning others will make said others be put in hot water, but frankly he went in that scrum for himself. Voice of the voiceless, but all that mattered to him was his voice.

Hoo boy. Big typhoon coming in tonight where I am, and this time it's really strong and my province is in its line of sight. Signal number 3 at best, 4 at worst. Be safe, your food conversations are very fun and have been a welcomed addition to this thread! Honestly, doubt there will be too much trouble in my end. Had super typhoons come before, and yes super typhoons is a term when it really gets bad... but honestly terrain wise at most I'll expect power outages and maybe just a bit of water going in through the doors, far better than coastal regions here. Hell, just got a package from a relative close by with food I just need to heat. Burgers, hotdogs, the baked spaghetti I love, big slice of chocolate cake and scones. Won't need to cook tonight, just heat on the pan. Though, personally I don't like the spaghetti being heated. Hotdogs on it, banana ketchup, and a layer of cheese on top of it all. Far better cool for me. Another New Year dish I look forward to all year. Eat it fresh as the New Year starts, then get given the leftovers on the day. Delicious. And really, thing I do here and there, I really kinda want to be at the roof of my house (flat roof, essentially a third floor) during the heaviest of the storm and let the wind and rain go down on me. Cold, strong, and noisy as hell. Done it here and there since high school. Just... oddly calming and safe for me.

There's a song in the anime Macross that sounds like September,
The fan-made mashup does make it more noticeable, too.

Milk. I want it on my coffee. It gives me some horrid gas problems, too much and it can last days, and now I want coffee with milk and I can't and it mocks me.

I just hope Kenny's having a fun time in Japan. Do you think he ate one of those double McMuffins they have there? I stand by my belief that my country's cheesy eggdesal with either ham or sausage is superior, even facing a McMuffin with two sausages. All in the bread. Always soft bread over a 50/50 chance (and at this point I'm being generous over that odds) of a McMuffin that's either okay or sad staleness.

Since everyone mentioned dreams involving wrestling, here's mine. Fresh, just yesterday, my first one, or the first one I bothered to remember because I thought of this place. I was back at work. Night shifts in the office. Lots of people I know, and somehow there's also John Cena and Triple H. Time for a meal. For some reason everyone just sat on the floor in circles eating. I'm about to walk to a circle and John Cena grabs me by the leg. I'm not even sure what happens or if he's talking, but I recall mentioning to him having chicharon on my bag. I go there and find the pack of chicharon empty. At this point I wake up, or think I wake up, half wondering on how that didn't make a lick of sense. And I fall back asleep moving into a next series of weird ass dreams. John took the chicharon Could be Triple HHH, didn't really do anything in my dream but be there. But man, now I want some chicharon. Either the pig skin with a layer of deep fried fat, or maybe chicken skin, or buchiron (chicken crop; like chicken skin but better texture, or bulaklak, rolled pig fat/mesentry/part of the intestine -called so because it looks like a flower/bulaklak). You'd dip it in a mix of vinegar, chili, and garlic here, but personally I love eating it as it is. Crispy, crunchy, though in the case of bulaklak there can be some softness inside. Can eat it with rice, when you're too lazy to cook an actual meal.

No muffins for me, but cooked up pancakes.
Honestly, don't really like syrup. All I need on a hot pancake is a good helping of cold salted butter.

Since this recent talk started I think with Wendy's, I feel this is appropriate.
Here's VTuber Fubuki being amazed by the Wendy's menu in Japan.

With all the chicken talk, this has pushed me for some KFC.
That is to say, Ketchup Fried Chicken. Banana ketchup by the way. More sweet but a lot more tangy.
My first shot at it. Like, starters is to cook the chicken in a mix of banana ketchup, garlic, black pepper, vinegar, bay leaves, oyster sauce and a bit of sugar. Bit of water as well. No mixing until the mixture is boiled, then let simmer for a while. Got the chicken out and in the fridge to sit and cool for a few hours. Fry for dinner later. Apparently tastes better grilled under charcoal, but forgot to buy charcoal and too lazy to grill later.
Beautiful dark red color right now. Tasted a bit of the sauce and it's good. Might use the sauce later to make some easy fried rice.

My physical therapist is originally from the Philippines and it's interesting hearing about how much better/different KFC is over there compared to here. Like, much higher quality overall. No lie, born and live here, I'd say quality has gone down. Starters, original flavor chicken is never crispy. I like the gravy better than Jolibee, but nowadays they don't give you it unlimited. Gone are tbe days when you drown the rice in it. And the Zinger. Was a good chicken sandwich. Spicy, had enough mayo to balance the taste. Mentioned it before, but the bun they use now is so damn stale. Can buy a stack of sliced bread on a 711 and improve the texture.

And, lot of milk tea places here. So many choices, coffee, tea, shake drinks.
Very best for me is a shake of yakult with lychee and instead of boba it's nata de coco. Sweet, refreshing, and chilling.
And milk makes my gut uneasy, I can pour a ton of milk on my ground coffee, no mixing, but at past that point I don't know much else. Cheese and yogurt, sure and dishes here using milk. Never had a milkshake, unless floats count which can also make my gut yell at me.
