Japanese eel over a bed of rice is actually really good. I'd definitely take that over snake, but I also haven't ever had snake so maybe I'm missing out on something.

Pocky is also the most addictive thing EVER.

[_medley_]

Pocky is definitely addictive. And I'll take your word for it about the eel. It's not slimy? It seems like it'd be slimy.

[joonscribble]

Pocky is definitely addictive.

Now they have a type packaged as "Men's Pocky" because the chocolate is dark rather than milk. Yeah, I don't know why that makes it Men's but there you go. By the manufacturers of Pocky, I am a man. A man who loves his Men's Pocky and doesn't go for that Women's milk chocolate stuff.

It's not slimy? It seems like it'd be slimy.

The eel sushi probably is. But the eel over rice is cooked eel so it has the same texture as just cooked fish, really.

I like dark chocolate a lot more than I used to. Dark chocolate Pocky sounds good. Men's Pocky--that's funny.

If cooked eel is the same texture as fish, I could probably eat it, then. Especially with rice.

I think I'm more in love with the sauce that comes with eel and rice. Either way: good.

[donutsweeper]

the chocolate kind, yes. But have you ever seen the strawberry kind?

[joonscribble]

I've seen those. But I've never had one. Is it any good?

[donutsweeper]

ummm... *tries to put it politely* do you like 'berry' flavored things? Or 'red' flavor?

[joonscribble]

If the taste is revolting, you can just say it. I often find Asian snacks kind of fail at making berry-flavored anything good.

[donutsweeper]

it reminded me somewhat of pepto-bismol- it's not revolting or terrible, but nothing I wanted in a snack food.

[joonscribble]

Ugh, yeah.

...

Hmm.

Now I have this image of Torchwood sitting around discussing snack foods, Pocky included. This show really needs to stop permeating every square inch of my brain space.

Jack would meander into a story how they reminded him of alien treat he tried once while Owen would just look at him and call him a right git for making the team try them

[joonscribble]

Jack would probably point out that anyone who enjoys things like marmite and other assorted horrid British foods doesn't have a leg to stand on in insulting strawberry Pocky.

Owen: We gave you the fried Mars bars! Don't slag off on our cuisine!

[donutsweeper]

Jack'd give him that look and say yeah, but it didn't quite make up for blood pudding, did it?

[joonscribble]

Jack: Centuries into the future and blood pudding never gets topped for the worst edible concoction.
Ianto: Blood pudding makes it into the 51st century?
Jack: Like cockroaches, it's a survivor.

[donutsweeper]

Owen: ignore him Ianto, it's just Jack being Jack
but then Gwen'd grumble about haggis and vegemite and then it would all digress into a game of 'dare you'
