Mr. Kitty Saves The World It’s actually not originally Japanese. The one from Japan is actually the Okinawa purple sweet potato. Real ube is a yam found in the Philippines.

Da Big Ork I don’t remember my school ever offering anything too hideous or unpleasant - certainly meals looked (and, for the most part, tasted) like what they said they were. The quality did tend to rise when the catering company’s contract was up for renewal and then dip down after they got it. I do remember there was a thing called ‘Pasta King’ which seemed to be a nationwide brand - the pasta itself was fine, but the sauces weren’t great. Really, ‘Pasta Adequacy’ would be a more fitting name, if perhaps a less marketable one.

Much love from the Philippines! 💌 As a fan, I've always hoped to see one of the snacks from here be featured in an Ashens video. Ube is a purple yam, and it is a sweet treat. The specific Ube cake is a popular snack for kids, and it comes in like 5 great flavors! Pandan*, Melon, Mocha, Ube, and something else I forget. They are excitingly plain! But not bad if you need something in your belly. p.s. I'm not sure how they are baked, because sometimes if you open one, the outer brown part is 'peeled off' from the colored, spongy inside. * Pandan is a natural green-colored flavoring from a plant. It's often paired with coconut.

Tribdinosaur Please don't spam just saying "Proud to be a filipino" It's already cancerous to spam in the already garbage comment sections of any video with a *LITTLE* part of it including the Philippines.

I had a lot of those ube cakes as a kid. They had different flavors like strawberry and coffee. My mouth immediately went dry seeing it....

[@guerillagrueplays6301]

I went into my fridge the day before yesterday to grab some Sriratcha. I don't eat it often, and decided to check the date on the Uber-sized bottle I'd purchased I couldn't remember when. The expiration date was July 28th 2013. I considered sending it your way, but instead laughed at myself (I'd just used some about a week and a half before) and dumped it.

[@TheOneJokeWonder]

Notice that you didn't get sick? Because it was fine. Shouldn't have dumped it.

[@guerillagrueplays6301]

@@TheOneJokeWonder I considered not dumping it, but then I also remembered that Sriracha is dirt cheap and the bottle was getting pretty crusty anyway. It's all good.

The best recommendation for a foodstuff I've ever heard: "It tastes like a bin." Perfect. If you drink a lot of prickly pear juice, it will turn your urine purple, so I have been told.

[@KaedeLanyo]

That dog joke was awfully dark and terrible, and i loved it!

[@carl.j917]

Cactus (Nopales) ain't sugary. The fruit (Tunas/Prickly Pear) is very sugary and quite delicious though. I wonder if the candy was nopal flavor or prickly pear flavor.

[@jameswoodard4304]

I'm sure it was nopal. They said it had a cucumber smell/flavor. The prickly pear fruit itself would certainly have given it a tangy fruity flavor and it would probably be purple instead of green.

Shadow Brits aren’t used to spicy foods for breakfast, lunch, and dinner like Mexicans.

[@kaitlyn__L]

@@coffinfeeder7732 Some of us are... adding tons of cayenne into fuckin everything over here. But my dad thinks he likes "pretty spicy food" cos he can handle the super mild green Tabasco. Which I suppose is probably genuinely more spicy than his peers can usually deal with. But like yeah I know people for whom black pepper is too spicy sometimes.. I always used to try spicy things since 5 years just as a weird exciting experience, seeing if I could handle it.. I guess I've built up resilience where people were often kept away from spicy foods altogether in the UK until they stopped being children... and then a korma seemed really hot.

That Russian waffle was with sort of sour cream sauce, not cream cheese. I guess it's kinda the same thing after all of the processing, but it's what it says on the package. And yeah, those things do not usually taste rancid, just a sweet creamy waffle.
