Spice Uterus and Vietnamese Subs

[lisarea]

Unfortunately, we were a little too late to avail ourselves. All that was left was a sign above the empty steam table indicating that spice uterus had been available a couple of hours earlier.

I can usually tell what they're talking about--like, you know, "boiled ovaries" are probably eggs. Stuff like that.

Spice Uterus, though. I dunno. Is that supposed to be Spiced Uterus or Uterus Spice or what?

We have a giant new Asian supermarket right by the house now, and the whole thing is still sort of like Christmas. The Vietnamese subs are probably the best part for me. Before, we had a little Asian grocery where they'd get pre-made ones in sometimes, but they'd sell out quickly, and there wasn't any selection or anything. This new store has a huge deli counter where you get them made to order. Small is something like $2.00, and large is $2.50, but twice the size.

So, for $2.50, I can get a huge foot long sandwich on fresh-baked crusty french bread with pickled radish and carrots, jalapenos, and piles and piles of fresh green cilantro. Today, I got a pate one, but they also have roast pork, BBQ pork, head cheese and pate (which is kind of the default), and other ones I can't remember, too. And they're all good so far.

So, who dares me to go earlier next time and get Spice Uterus?

Spiced uterus?! Sounds like housewife folk remedy, which animal did they take the uterus from? A cow?

[beyelzu]

Damn that is badass. I wish I had a cool asian market near me.


I double dog dare to you to get some spice uterus.

[Dingfod]

I triple dog dare you to get some spice uterus.

:hungry: Spice Uterus! :hungry:

[viscousmemories]

I've had cow stomach at a Dim Sum restaurant, and it was spongy and bland. I bet spicy uterus isn't bland.

You don't?

Where in the hell are you that you don't have a Vietnamese market? Are you really in the United Snakes, boy? I thought every decent sized town in America had a Vietnamese market by now. How'd you miss out?

I don't give a rat's about some spice uterus. <as an aside>

But I'd like to know what it is when you find out.

Um...ask to see it first. <just a suggestion>

godfry n. incredulous

:roflmao:

(okay, so maybe I do give a rat's....but just the patoot, nothing more.)

I've had cow stomach at a Dim Sum restaurant, and it was spongy and bland.Mmmm, menudo. Not my favorite Mexican dish, beef tripe, cow stomach. I guess, having eaten menudo, I could try spice uterus.

[Crumb]

menudo? Isn't that that 80s band with all the latin boys who had to be under 16?

Way to disguise your envy. You almost tricked me into thinking you weren't envious of the delicious steamy spiced uterus I'm going to be enjoying any day now!

Well, it was at the steam table part, so it'll be on display. They really don't speak much English at the deli counter, so I probably won't ask too many questions, but I'll eat it. I mean, like, unless it's a whole cow uterus or something seriously stank.

But I'm brave. Hell, I was getting head cheese subs at the old place for forever, and I just called them "monkey sandwiches" because I figured I'd assume the (almost) worst.

I almost tried to trick the ODB into getting a whole durian today, too, but then I started feeling what I think you call the "conscience." Plus I started thinking about how smelly the house would be once I cut into that bad boy.

So, now who knows anything about monkey-picked tea? Is it worth the money? I'm kind of intrigued, but it's kind of spendy.

Also: Does anyone know any other tea stuff? I drink the cheapassed puerh that comes in that orange box (which I threw away, so I don't know the brandname), and I can discern broadly among black teas but not so much with green and overall, I'm pretty clueless.

They've got a whole aisle of tea.

Is there, like, some step up from that ghettoassed orange box puerh I should try? Anything else?

[Dingfod]

menudo? Isn't that that 80s band with all the latin boys who had to be under 16?They were a bunch of tripe too.

[livius drusus]

So, can we get an update on the spice uterus? Is it, as I suspect, a Bene Gesserit relic?

I will, just as soon as I need to go there again. I don't want to go just to make fun of the Spice Uterus or anything, so I'm waiting until I need to buy new tea or something.

I swear I really will, though.

A Google search turned up an authentic Thai restaurant that serves barbecue pork uterus. Another site has the Chinese as eaters of pork uterus. Yet another site mentions pork uterus as being used in Mexican cuisine.

Mmmmm.... pork uterus. :homer:

Dammit.

Now I'm scared.

I guess I was kind of assuming that it was some wacky kind of mistranslation or something, but I've been double and even triple dog dared now.

BTW, you guys are familiar with the conditions of multiple dog dares, don't you? Means the darees have to do it too. And don't try to get out of it. It's pretty straightforward contract law, so you can face some pretty hefty consequences if you try to back out once I've fulfilled my contractual obligations.

Yes, this is my understanding as well. That's why you didn't see me do any "dog daring".....

And, bub, that'd be the next trip into Atlanta for you....providing yer ignoring the Asian market in your town.

(hmmmmm.....lisarea, do they have a uterus and tongue combo sandwich? Y'know, a Cunning Linguist Special?)

Sliced thin, battered and fried crisp I could eat testicles, or prions er, brains.

Crispy spice uterus chips. Mmmm.
