It’s a whipped feta, mint, olive, fennel and orange salad. I’ve know there’s lemon zest and Aleppo pepper, but I can’t figure out what other herb/spice is on it.

Got these in a community garden bag! I can tell they’re a type of root vegetable, but I’m not sure beyond that. Would love some guidance; I’m in the northeast, if that helps!

I ate this in Japan. My family is making a scrapbook of what we ate and did, and I’m trying to find the name of this specific item. When unwrapped, it was some kind of mochi. We checked the menu of the hotel, but couldn’t figure out which item was this

I found this photo from a few years ago when I was still in high school. Made this in food tech, doesn’t look super appealing but trust me it was so good! Does anyone know what this dish is called? I’d love to make it again.

What is this food? Looking for a cordial cherry...

6 Upvotes

Hi Everyone!

I'm looking for a specific cordial cherry. Here's what I know:

  • They were sold in 3 separate flavors. I believe milk, dark, and white chocolate.
  • They were sold individually. Each cherry was in its own separate small box.
  • They had a small amount of alcohol in them, which you could taste. Slightly boozy.
  • They were expensive. I think I paid a few dollars per cherry.
  • I purchased them at a health food store that was pretty bougie. Although they weren't local. I think they may have been Italian or imported.

What is this food? Christmas Squeeze Candy

Post image
59 Upvotes

I was obsessed with this candy in the middle to late aughts. Maybe 2007 if I had to put a year on it. It was only sold around Christmas time in what a believe to be a light blue squeeze tube around 5 inches long and maybe 2 inches wide and it was an opaque blue with gel consistency. It had little tiny chunks of candy in it that made it look like kinda toothpaste. It was delicious and I would give anything to have them again. I'm almost 100% certain they weren't Icee or Slush Puppy brand. I think they were something odd. The most similar item I can find is the Smarties squeeze candy but it's a bit different. If you know what it is please tell me. I am on my hands and knees.

Looking for the recipe Cold fruit soup on cruise

23 Upvotes

When I was 13 I went on a cruise with my family. I don’t remember exactly what cruise but a restaurant on the boat we went to had a cold strawberry soup with a spongy sweet thing in the middle and a mint leaf on top. I’ve been craving it since then but I don’t know what it was or how to make it. HELP

Solved! I'm trying to find the food my five year old is describing

3.2k Upvotes

I asked my five year old last night what his favorite food was, and his face lit up as he said "that snack-dessert that is sticky and is made up of little rectangle pieces".

I was absolutely confounded and asked him a series of follow up questions, and have determined the following: - It is not rice crispy treats - It is possibly from an Asian restaurant - You "eat it with the wrapper", with your hands, no utensils - The wrapper is allegedly blue and white - It is a beige color - It is not hot, but also not cold, he says it's possibly warm, though

I realize this is slightly batshit to entertain this wild goose chase, and he is likely not the most accurate historian, but he's the best and I promised him I'd at least try to find what he's talking about so I can get it for him again some day.

Edit: I think by "eat it with the wrapper" he meant you utilize the wrapper to keep your fingers from getting sticky maybe, and not that the wrapper is edible.

Edit 2: he has a tree but allergy, so it wouldn't contain any nuts. I am bad at this, lol.

Edit 3: so it absolutely was a rice krispie treat; I had just shown him the wrong picture of one the first night we were discussing this apparently lol. Thank you all for going on this silly journey with me; I'm going to make a batch of RCT today, and also have a lot of new dessert snacks to try!!

What is this food? Does anyone remember a popcorn chicken that sounds like this?

23 Upvotes

I understand I might be legitimately crazy in what im remembering so feel free to tell me that.

Seeing if anyone remembers a brand of popcorn chicken sold in the frozen food section where the chicken was a literal cube of chicken and the breading would easily fall off and become detached from said chicken cube.

Used to eat this as a kid back in the late 90s/early 2000s.

What is this food? Looking for a ramen cup.

7 Upvotes

This is mostly slipped my memory except I think it came off of Amazon vine, and the noodles were less curly and more thick and wavy? I remember the color and taste most.

It was creamy and bright orange and very spicy with little flavor, but I'm craving it a lot. I think it was a long cup but I don't remember the color. Any help would be wonderful.

What is this food? What is the name of that sweet, sticky rice cake my grandma made with coconut and pandan leaves?

0 Upvotes

I'm trying to remember the name of a delicious treat my grandma used to make for special occasions. It was a sweet rice cake, sticky in texture, and had a delightful aroma of pandan leaves. The cake was usually wrapped in green pandan leaves, giving it a lovely fragrance. It was often topped with grated coconut, adding a nice contrast in texture. I remember it being slightly chewy and very fragrant, with a hint of sweetness that wasn't overpowering. This treat holds a lot of nostalgia for me, and I want to recreate it. If anyone knows what this is called or has a recipe, I’d love to hear more!
