The asian store near my house STINKS!
- Thread starter pnj
- Start date
The town where I went to college had a grocery store called the Big M that smelled half way between a pet store and old people.
pnj said:there are two asian stores near my house. one has whole deep fried fish, pork bung, quarts of blood and assorted intestines....
the other one STINKS to high hell. they have so much fish stuff, live and frozen. I went in to get some simple veggies and some ramen noodles, I got half way down one of the isles and seriously gagged. I thought I was going to puke right in the isle.
What in tarnation is pork bung...and why would anyone need quarts of blood and assorted intestines...I'm gonna gag just reading this...
I got it, H8R...but it's SNIPS and snails and puppy dog tails...H8R said:

Edit: WTF is a "snip" anyway?
you know exactly what pork bung is.dh girlie said:
and the assorted intestines are in a giant container with salad tongs. you get to pick out what you want.
but that is from the good store. the store across the street is the super stinky one. it seriously smells like someone took a dump in the isles sometimes.....
When I lived in the Bay Area we had a local Chinese market. There was a full isle devoted to tiny dried fish in plastic bags. That isle smelled like the Grim Reaper had come by and disemboweled a thousand babies on the shelves.pnj said:
I'll bet it's the tiny dried fish..... follow your nose and discover the root of the stench.

Come on. Pork bung is like calamari. Only............ chewier.dh girlie said:

I wonder if a great chef could make something palatable out of pork bung.H8R said:The ghetto grocery store in Oaklnd is the nastiest place ever.
You can get pork tails. It's a pig tail with an un-washed chunk of anus attached.
Yummy!
Might be a good premise for a Cooking TV show. Get the nastiest ingredients you can find and have some famous chef try to make something edible out of them.
-S.S.-
the blood is used as a base for soups and sauces. Intestines actually is pretty flavorless but absorbes whatever flavors you cook it in. It is mostly used for the texture.You've heard of tripe right? That's intestines. Chinese folks ain't the only ones to use intestines in cooking. Where do you think Italian sausage skin is from?dh girlie said:
Ummm no I don't (well at least not until now) I am a very picky eater...I read the ingredients on everything I eat...I could live off the childrens menu in most restaurants (grilled cheese, peanut butter and jelly, chicken breast strips)...I do not eat ANY chinese food, Indian food, any fish, shell fish included, and I'm very particular about any meats I eat...beef must be very lean and very well done, no pink...chicken...only boneless skinless chicken breast and I cut it up into tiny pieces as not to eat a vein. No sausage...blech...it sucks being this picky, but I have a very weak stomach.pnj said:
You're missing out on alot of great stuff. But I guess if you'd ralph it'd be dumb to eat it.dh girlie said:
-S.S.-
This is what I hear...I really don't understand why I'm like this...my parents say I was the worst as a kid. I recall when I was about 4 or 5...we were eating chicken for dinner...and I had a drumstick on my plate...I was thinking...this was a chickens leg and it was alive...and I forgot while I was eating something else for a second, and went to pick it up and remembered and threw it across the table...HaHAHAHA...but it does suck, it's no fun...it's hard to be a guest at someones house for dinner...I'm always sending my burgers or steaks back to be cooked...sucks...SkaredShtles said:You're missing out on alot of great stuff.

they already have that....its called fear factor without the famous chef
Yeah - but from my understanding of that retarded show, they're not trying to make something appetizing....?spectaculardark said:

Lynnwood - not far from the hospital...like,...a few blocks south of 212th on 99pnj said:
The sign is not what you'd expect, I imagine that unless someone told you to go there, you'd never figure out it was an asian market, or even a market at all...
It's called something like "Nature's Market" and the sign is green and white with those roman looking curved leafies around the name.
I found it because I was looking for a live crab to cook and eat - and my local "store" was out -and recommended this place.
Which ones are you talking about? In the int'anl district?pnj said:there are two asian stores near my house. one has whole deep fried fish, pork bung, quarts of blood and assorted intestines....

K- uhm - those things are like SO terribly tasty. you must try them once before you turn up your nose...mmmmmmSkaredShtles said:
Think of them like fish potato chips - crunchy, salty, and delicious - but not so good with salsa
Ya - I don't worry about heading down to Uwajimaya - there's too many local marts that are super cheap, and meant for Asians only. It helps that my Japanese is still at least rudimentary, so I can make myself understood...though the looks I get (yes yes, blonde bimbo does speak nihongo)...DamienC said:
I presumed that they were probably some sort of snack thing. My point was just that they stunk up the *entire* place. I'd never take something like that home with me.Jr_Bullit said:
I'd try 'em at someone else's house, though. They could keep the stink, then.
