September 12, 2007: Japanese wasp crackers
 

http://cellar.org/2007/waspcookies.jpg

Spluch catches this one, an animal IotD which has been helpfully pre-baked into a crunchy, stingy form. A Japanese snack baker has come up with the idea of embedding wasps into a rice cracker, Of course, since so many of us enjoy eating crackers with homemade wasp dip.

Right, you don't want to deal with those inferior domesticated wasps, they suck.

At least the aging wasp hunters -- the mighty, proud wasp hunters! -- are not going without employment.

From the link...
5 or 6? Typical Madison avenue. The picture shows the cookie stuffed full of waspy goodness, but the truth is in the fine print.

I'll ask the question:

What about the stingers?!?!?!?!

"...output is limited as the wasps are caught in the wild for optimum flavour..."


So these are free-range wasps?

Do they have any milk-fed wasps? Those are the most tender.

What's the difference between a WASP and a Cracker anyway? Somebody ask freshness...

Oh no you di'int!

Cracker ass cracker.

Wasps are the bosses. Crackers are the peons. It leads to a great deal of cognitive dissonance for those of us crackers who got promoted into management while the wasps were distracted by their golf games.

:headshake



:rotflol:

Well at least nobody asked if they have Jews in crackers. :headshake

:lol: what flavor is your bf anyway? :p

he's chocolate....or pumpernickel, i think

I saw a loaf of bread at the store, billed as "DARK PUMP" ... srsly

As of a week ago, he tastes like EX.

Oh dear, sorry. I wondered if my impertinent question was a little below the belt....

Ewwwww!:vomit:

Bee nice.

Not to worry. It was my idea to end it and it probably should have been done long ago.

As for below the belt, it's where i do my best work. ;-)

At least you don't sound terribly heartbroken, Shel. How long were you lads an item, anyway?

When you consider that wasps eat spiders which eat flies which eat poo, that just has nastiness written all over it.

yeah but they'e wild caught! that makes all the difference. It's free-range poo. healthy poo. the type that falls onto lush meadows and makes beautiful flowers grow

Of course, the plants that make up most of the rest of the cracker eat poo directly.

Just because they're caught in the wild, doesn't mean they haven't been eating food that's full of hormones and insecticide. And just how brutal are those 80 year olds to the helpless wasps they slaughter?

Why they boil them like lobsters... throw them screaming into the cauldron, while they do that old man cackle. The nicer ones only do it to wasps cutting across their lawn.

10,000 points to Flint!!! Bravo! -from an original CAC (crackerasscracker):D

Am I the only one who is wondering how, exactly, does one "hunt" wasps?

I'm guessing a powerful insecticide sprayed from far away. Think: RAID.
In my experience, you have to SOAK them with it. Wasps are tough SOB's.

So, maybe the boiling is more to clean off the bodies than to cook?
(I'm sure they're totally safe to eat after boiling!)

I guess they use bee-bee guns.

Maybe they don't use pesticide to catch the wasps. Maybe they just suck them up with a vacuum cleaner like this guy.

That's one day's worth of wasps, from a single location. :yelsick:

Maybe they catch them one by one with chopsticks.

...LAX?

hey, ya think if i put dog shit on a stick, people will buy it? better yet, what if i called it art, how much could i sell it for?

How about Poop in a Cup?

Isn't that the Justin Timberlake song?

How about Poop in a Can (or 90 cans)

it's my poop in a cup!

1...squat on top of a cup

2...put your dump in the cup

3...put a top on the cup


it's my poop in a cup!

True Story
 

I used to sing a song that went like this:

Srsly, I wouldn't login at midnight on Saturday just to make that up.

:::goes back to doing homework:::

i trust that everyone saw the reply video from this wicked hot chick?

So can I get some waspsabe to go with my cracker?

Ya, that's a good one.

Interesting, an IOTD that I wouldn't suggest eating.
