I'm aware that you put it on toast or bread. That doesn't mean it wasn't disappointing. Also it doesn't taste anything like butter. In what way, other than it being eaten by smearing it on a piece of bread is it like butter? It was relatively bland to me.

I realized when I was 26 that I could have any kind of cereal I ever wanted, that my mom would never buy for me as a kid.. Cookie Crisp. Cookies for breakfast. Tiny cookies inside of a cereal box, that were made to be poured into a bowl, drowned in milk, and eaten with a spoon.. This cereal was my unicorn.
I guess I'm glad to have finally had them, but it was not at all what I had imagined it to be.

I tried google and some website suggested a kimchi grilled cheese. Now, I hate it (because I'm trying to find a way to like this stuff) but goddamn it was laborious and I didn't want to waste food.

I'll give that a shot but part of my attempt to like kimchi is keeping the probiotic portions of it intact. That means avoiding cooking the healthy bacterial flora out of it.

Okay, kiwano melon's not bad. It actually tastes mildly of either fresh bananas or kiwi.

Dragon fruit, on the other hand, literally tastes like nothing. If I had a glass of pear juice or kiwano juice, I could guess the fruit. It would taste like juice. Dragonfruit juice would taste like VERY lightly sweetened water.

>I pickled it in salty water for like an hour or whatever

You're supposed to put the cabbage in salt ONLY. The idea is to draw OUT the water, not add more.

And once you're done making it it takes a few weeks before it's ready to eat.

Florida, any tourist-oriented beach bar will sell fried alligator for an exorbitant price.
If you go to certain areas of Louisiana/Mississippi they have it in more "authentic" dishes but it's not especially good there either.

[Anonymous No.8726282]

>>8726270
That's all very well but most of the recipes I looked at online said it only needed a few days, and said after soaking in salty water you squeeze the moisture out, which I did. I could have improved on my method obviously but I don't believe the difference in a little less moisture would turn disgusting food in to delicious food.

It's more of a "tried it once" kind of thing to me.

Kimchi is actually pretty hard to make and it has surprisingly many ingredients that are mostly hard to get in western countries.

Thing about fruits you gotta remember is that the ones were used to eating have been selectively bred over countless eras to produce distinct flavors in their range. Smaller, relatively unknown species of produce such as dragonfruit usually never have such an advantage to them so when you actually get to eat one it comes across as disappointing in comparison to the crop that's had centuries of preparation to develop their own taste
