What are those spicy, waxy, half moon lookin snacks they give you at the Japanese res

Re: What are those spicy, waxy, half moon lookin snacks they give you at the Japanese

Title was too long.

I was at the office today pretending to work and mostly playing with the GNS430 simulator when I went to visit Laura in the mail room.

She is the office mom and she is from NY I think. She cusses like a sailor and sounds like Laverne De Fazio.

I forgot my wallet today so I couldn't get out of the office suite or parking garage. I went to her for a replacement / temp badge.

She has drawers full of candy and snacks and all sorts of junk. I think if not for missing badges and free candy most people would just think someone was squatting in the mail room.

So she is giving me **** bout not having a badge and how much it costs to validate my parking blah blah blah when I spot the tube (It is tube like but not really a tube. Let's call it a tube shaped container or just "the tube") of some foreign version of trail mix (It is trail mix like but not really trail mix but let's call it trail mix) and I decided I would try it. It has all sorts of debris in it and some melba toast (Not really melba toast but melba toast like parts that we don't need further reference to on this post) and it had all of these square-ish shaped things in it that were semi-spicy and had what I can only describe as a waxy coating on them.

I like them but I have no idea what they are called (Lets just call them "I don't know what they are called") and they reminded me of those things you get before your meal at Benihana(sp) in the little wooden bowls. Those are little half moon shaped orange spicy things.

Anyway the things in Laura's tube reminded me of those and I don't know what they are called.

Does anyone know what they are called?


What is that waxy coating?


What else has a waxy coating that might taste good?

They kind of look like little turds to me.
 
Re: What are those spicy, waxy, half moon lookin snacks they give you at the Japanese

See it is like a tube

Still looks like sesame sticks to me. Or perhaps dried feces.

That lady in that picture looks scared or upset by what she is looking at. Maybe it is not meant to be eaten?
 
Re: What are those spicy, waxy, half moon lookin snacks they give you at the Japanese

Ok, so it is Costco "pub mix"

And the "Waxy" bits within the pub mix are these things

At the Japanese restaurants, they give you little wooden bowls of just the orange half moon bits in the mix above.

I dont want all the other stuff, but I would like the stuff above segregated in their own container.

Made of rice, and made to look like other things instead of rice....

Rice crackers. Sometimes you find it in the bulk bins, then you can sort through the bin and load your bag with the bits you want.

Avoid those mixes at bars unless served from a "milk bottle". People paw through the mix for their favorite stuff and some lick their fingers in the process. Yech...

There you go. BTW, today Amazon said to the FAA, "If you don't allow us to develope drone delivery technology here, we will take it overseas."

It made me consider, "Is that really such a bad idea?" Think about it, what do we really stand to gain by being at what has already been shown as literal bleeding edge technology, on a mass scale. What difference is $100MM in research programs, when the benefits of all those dollars spent will go overseas anyway? It's not like we'll be manufacturing these drone fleets here. Let them crash them in London, it'll be like the Blitz all over again, they can put up more Keep Calm posters.

I used to be highly addicted to those things. There was a snack stand in the Tupelo MS mall and you could get just those...no mix. I would buy them by the pound.

But you don't want to eat them by the pound. Trust me on this.

next time you forget your badge, they're docking you for an hour's pay. Let's call it 'next time you forget your badge penalty' :)

HAHA!

Man, they are serious about those badges.
Laura first looks down her nose at you with her glasses part way down her nose.

Then she does this tight lipped head shaking grin maneuver.

In then in her best Fran Drescher / Al Pacino tone she says "Ya Know...."

pause. There's always a pause
I pee a little during the pause.

"Ya know... dees batjes?... dees batjes cawst a pret tee penny and ju won me da jus git ju a free pakin validatin stickah huh? Well dose stickahs set us back sicks bucks fu da first four hours... An ju want da whole day? Dats anotha buck fifty for every additional hour. No, you git dis big batch wit da big green dawt on it so I know which one you gawt. Bring it back tomarra or else Im comin afte ya you hea me?"

She stares quietly knowing this was rhetorical. I don't answer. I do pee a little more out of fear.

It is tempting at that point to just get in my car and make the hour trek back home to get my badge and return it. And also change pants because of all of the peeing.

But I go back to my desk and think about what I have done.

Twice in 5 years I have gone through this process. I sit here working from home, the badge is next to me with the green dot staring at me and mocking my stupidity. I will get to the office tomorrow early before everyone else arrives and slip it under her door and sneak off to my desk because the returning process is scarier and involves more disappointing staring and silence. I can't take it.

Did anyone answer this? I think the waxy(?) coating is a mixture of soy sauce and sugar. The proportions make it more sweet or more salty. I'm not sure I would call it "waxy" though.

I think it's an egg white based glaze.

I avoid the mixes at bars ever since I read that study where bowls of nuts/mixes at various bars were tested and urine was detected on a significant number of them. Yes, incredibly some dudes pee on their fingers and don't wash their hands and then paw the nuts that you later put into your mouth...

Re: What are those spicy, waxy, half moon lookin snacks they give you at the Japanese

Man I wash my hands probably 10 times a day.
Have some kids and you will learn how dirty the world is.

Shake someone's hand that was playing with their phone that their kid was using who had snotty fingers or whatever.

I watch where all my kids shove their hands and what they touch. I am sure when not in plain sight adults are just as bad or worse.

When I was a teenager, I used to only wash my hands in public restrooms but not at home after peeing. Then I realized I was about to make a sandwhich and kinda had a EWE! moment.

I am not OCD by a long stretch but if you shake my hand, It is clean and it will be cleaned again shortly after because I don't know about yours.

Ugh, I wonder who else has used this keyboard.

I gotta go.
