You can find some weird flavors for stuff out here in Hawaii, that’s for sure. Li hing, dragonfruit, poke, furikake (seaweed), etc. And, of course, spam musabi... Cheers, -CM-
I'm not a spicy person, so I avoid anything that's chili-flavored or flaming hot. I think I tried Sriracha once. It left a foul garbage odor in my mouth.
Back when I was a kid, they had this cordial drink called Coke and Orange (which tasted of neither, was not fizzy and more of a reddish colour than anything else)
Coke came out with some fruit-flavored diet varieties. Blood Orange is one of them. I haven't tried that, as I avoid anything orange-flavored (haven't been able to tolerate oranges for 20 years). I've tried the lime flavor and found it to be not great. Strawberry is quite good, cherry is okay. I was never able to try the mango flavor (I love mango-flavored pop). Naturally they stopped making my favorite, which was blueberry.
At my store there's a candy bar for sale that says it's "chili" flavored. Who the hell would want candy that tastes like chili?
In NFL chat we had a rousing discussion about the weird flavors of Pringles they have outside of the US. Prawn, crab, chicken Tandoori and red curry are a few. I ordered the last 2 from overseas just to see what they're like.
The verdict? The first three sound great to me, but I wouldn't know about red curry. I've never actually tasted curry. They're godawful expensive on the Canadian Amazon site.
They're still in transit, but I'll let you know. If they're anything like US Pringles, the flavor won't be that strong.
I do have kind of a funny thing with orange flavored stuff. I hate oranges, and orange juice, but I love artifical orange flavored things. So orange Crush, Sunkist, and orange sherbet. I also love strawberrys, but I hate strawberry flavored stuff.
I've never had curry either and I must confess I have no desire to ever try it. Heck, pretty much the only reason I even know curry exists is because of Red Dwarf!
First I heard of it was in an episode of Are You Being Served?. We have a few Indian restaurants here now, but I still haven't had much curiosity to try it. I'm a basic pizza/Chinese food/cheeseburger/fish & chips sort of person when it comes to takeout. In fact, I have some leftover pizza and Chinese food in the fridge right now, and lunch (as I type) is sausage & tomato pizza.
I heard a lot about it in Red Dwarf. I've had chicken vindaloo a few times, which is the hotter red curry.
Oh my. I've had an Indian style curry, a Chinese style one (which is hardly authentic Chinese cuisine) and a very spicy Cajun dish in the last few days alone. I can't imagine food without spices. Or just don't want to. My local high street has a pub, a few shops, a Chinese, a fish and chip shop, a pizza place nearby and three Indians, a take-away and two restaurants. That's not exactly unusual. Our supermarkets are full of Indian food too. It's practically our national dish...
I'm a big fan of the Patak's and Sharwood's brands in particular the jars of Madras sauce. It's hot and spicy but not too hot. I've tried the Vindaloo sauce and it wasn't much different to the Madras. The Balti and Rogan Josh sauces are also nice. I always check those aisles in supermarkets and if the Patak's or Sharwood's are on offer I buy in bulk because they last in the cupboard for years. Steam some rice and a pot of sauce add a few chunks of chicken breast with ice cold beer on the side and it's like I'm dining out Aldi also do some very nice sauces and their Madras and Rogan Josh are as nice as the big brands like Patak's and Sharwood's. I've never made my own sauces so that's something to try this year.
That's the one. I still don't get it, though. Why would anyone want chocolate that tastes like that? It's like putting cheddar cheese on apple pie. I've heard of people doing that too. Confuses me to no end.
