And to think that this Mystery Can isn't even the real feature of today's
So You Don't Have To:
Oh, and I'd just like to ask, for the record:
WHY THE HELL AM I DOING THIS TO MYSELF?
I MEAN, DIDN'T I LEARN MY FUCKING LESSON LAST TIME?
Oh boy. Yet another product from the shelves of an Asian market that says "KEEP REFRIGERATED" but has probably never been any colder than room temperature.
At least these are sealed, and not just loosely covered in paper in a styrofoam box. I think that's a good thing. Is that a good thing? Oh god, somebody help me.
That can? Well, I explain it properly in the video, but here's the underside. DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER!
Anyway, for this week's focus food, I was passed something with a note from
paradoxlight and, by proxy, her boy
dschen , who apparently loves these things. It was the first time that a stranger showed up to my house with food for me to eat. I hope it will not be the last.
Well, that certainly seems like a relatively nice note about a delicious food, yes?
Except for the "very high" part.
And the words "not-so-evil," I guess. Hmmm...
Please to note that I held it as one would hold a tiny fetal kitten with itty-bitty human arms. So, here are the ingredients:
Three times the amount of salt as the last egg? Well, it's got some vitamin A, which is the mortal enemy of salt.
I think we have a clip. Bob, do we have that clip?

Boy, there was some fun Tourette's stuff going on there, wasn't there? Scrunching my face and moving my arms like...ugh, I just had a taste memory of that egg.
You will pay for this,
paradoxlight . You too,
dschen . You will pay dearly.
...
Okay, enough with the empty threats!

I leave you today with a quick look at the greens. I totally forgot to take a shot of the Evil Alien Egg Yolk, but there it is in the sink if you look by the drain.
Smooches, my monkeys.

PS --- After seeing this, Jason seems to think they were, perhaps, turnip greens...
