Should I or Shouldn't I?- Okra Mead Debacle

[BobbiLynn]

So will you tell us how the gumbo turns out? Use sausage and chicken, in a nice roux... it'll be delicious! Probably don't even have to add the okra, just it's slime would work well. Tomato, seasonings, okra mead.... Yum!! Put it over some rice and enjoy!

 

[jerrodm]

Maybe add it to gumbo? The honey would tame down the tartness of the tomato and the okra slime would add to the entire dish. Would be lovely.

This is a great idea. This should actually happen.

Not 100% sure, but I think CG already tossed the okra abomination out.

 

[CreamyGoodness]

No it lives on... for now.

Too bad... some gumbo even the dog wouldn't eat, yum!

 

[BobbiLynn]

No it lives on... for now.

Ah, there is hope then!

 

[Golddiggie]

No it lives on... for now.

Why?? For the love of all that is holy, hoppy, or great, WHY??

Ah, there is hope then!

Not really...

 

[BobbiLynn]

Why?? For the love of all that is holy, hoppy, or great, WHY??

You ask why? I ask why not?

Alright, finished off the keg and got it cleaned... better catch a nap...

 

[CreamyGoodness]

The same answer to "why did you do this" applies to "why do you allow it to live amongst us"

 

[Zuljin]

Enter it in a competition.

Sometimes I think that we were better off when certain things were just let die. That deformed farm animal, that was missing parts, or had extra... Culled at birth.

 

[jerrodm]

Enter it in a competition.

Yes! I will happily send you a check for the entry fee, as long as you promise to upload video of the judges tasting it.

 

[CreamyGoodness]

I tell you one thing... I was planning on using bitter melon next time if this worked. This really took the wind out of those sails.

Habanero peppers, or thai chili peppers would really put a fire back in your belly.

 

[emjay]

Hell, I'd do it if he just uploaded the scoresheet.

 

[Golddiggie]

Never thought someone could get a negative score.

 

[bottlebomber]

Yes, that's the one where the judges are actually looking for you to strip you of your equipment and bring you to justice.

 

[Golddiggie]

I bet that's only after they remove the 'warm boot' flavor out of their mouths.

 

[DrunkleJon]

I would pay to see a judges scoresheet of that.


"A - a beautiful golden color with a large mass floating in it remenescent of Cthulu.
M - Thick texture, reminescent of eel slime mixed with a nasal discharge
T - The kind of funk you can only get from an old shoe pulled from a lake whilst fishing toasted lightly over a campfire of old tires..."

 

[CreamyGoodness]

One thing I learned from this debacle is that the average okra has more slime than you can possibly imagine. Instead of petro-chemical lubricants to be used in industry, I feel relatively certain we could harvest the power of okra slime to reduce our need for foreign oil... not to mention reduce our carbon footprint.

But yeah... the okra mead was nasty. I thought the espresso mead was kind of offputting and the lavendar mead tasted like soap, but this was something new entirely.

Wonder what would happen if you combined all three.

Definitely boot...more boot...

 

[DrunkleJon]

I've got a fever. And there is only one cure. We need more of Creamy's risky concoctions with reviews.

 

[jerrodm]

That's right CG, before we're done here, you'll be wearing gold-plated diapers.

 

[CreamyGoodness]

Just got a thought. A terrible terrible thought.

What if I strained off the fruit into a jar and chilled.

Maybe the slime would solidify. I could then spoon it off like chicken fat and use for "adventures"... it was really the slime that gave it that distinctive warm boot taste, methinks.

Okra schmaltz!

 

[CreamyGoodness]

I was thinking more along the lines of sliding glass door runner grease. Free as opposed to WD40!

 

[bottlebomber]

Personal lubricant? I just know your wife would love to get buggered with some okra sludge
Too far?

 

[CreamyGoodness]

I'm going to have to say, yes, too far.

But if I were to package it for vegans...

 

[CreamyGoodness]

So many of you had no faith that this experiment would end well. Well, I'm here to say it really didnt end well.
