” Chicken Baked In Salt Crust “

This is one of my favorite chicken recipes.
Season the inside with sriracha and salt, stuff it with orange quarters,
lots of garlic and scallions. Then make the salt dough by combining egg whites,
salt and flour, pack the chicken in it and bake it until the meat has reached
a temperature of of 158. remove the chicken and let rest another 20 minutes
before opening the crust. The carry-over heat will take it to a safe 165 temperature.
For most effect, crack and open the  crust table side. For  condiments and sides,
you can go chinese or western. Because the texture and taste reminds me so much
of the time i used to live in singapore and enjoyed “Singapore Hainanese Chicken Rice”,
I usually go chinese, but  just condiments, no rice or vegetables because together with
Bella we usually eat the whole thing in one sitting ! You can of course accompany it
with steamed rice and maybe bok choy, or you can go western style and serve a
western style vegetable and maybe mashed potatoes or noodles, in which case you
probably serve it with a veloute to keep it all moist and tasty.

Enjoy ! Bon Appetit ! Life is Good !

For a different texture / flavor, replace the chicken with any protein, such as crab meat, shrimps, fish, tofu, or vegetables, such as baby bok choy, asparagus, corn, etc.

# 2. Pacha

From: Iraq.

What the hell is it?

Of all the dishes, this is the one most likely to be mistaken for a threatening message from the mob. It’ a sheep’ head. Boiled.

Wait, it gets worse …

Pacha only reveals its terror gradually. Sure, maybe you can get around the fact that you’re eating face. But, the more you eat it, the more bone is revealed, until you give a final burp and set your cutlery down beside a grinning ivory skull. Its hollow eye sockets stare back at you with a look of grim damnation. “Burp while ye may,” the sockets say, “for the same fate will happen to you–and all too soon.”
We wonder why the Iraqis keep blowing themselves up? Wouldn’t you, if every evening meal was a festival of death?

Danger of this turning up in America:

Not looking like that, it won’t. But, you tell people that sheep head contains some kind of enzyme that boosts your metabolism and …

” The 6 Most Terrifying Foods in the World ” #6

Today: #6. Escamoles

From : Mexico.

What the hell is it?

Escamoles are the eggs of the giant black Liometopum ant, which makes its home in the root systems of maguey and agave plants. Collecting the eggs is a uniquely unpleasant job, since the ants are highly venomous and have some kind of blood grudge against human orifices.
The eggs have the consistency of cottage cheese. The most popular way to eat them is in a taco with guacamole, while being f……. insane.

Wait, it gets worse …

Escamoles have a surprisingly pleasant taste: buttery and slightly nutty. This hugely increases the chances that, while in Mexico, you could eat them without realizing you are eating a taco full of f….. ant eggs.

Danger of this turning up in America:

We’re not sure Taco Bell hasn’t snuck this sh.. into their food already. Just make sure you know what’ in that burrito. Ask at the counter if you have to. Also, watch those ads close because they’ll try to dress it up in some kind of friendly-sounding, pseudo-Mexican name.
