It is always a good idea to know what you are putting in your mouth at meal times but sadly it isn´t always possible.
Instead, you might sometimes end up with one of these inexplicable food and drink products that are a little bit like taking a step into the unknown.
Inexplicable Food and Drinks for the Adventurous Palate
The Visitable Juice
Who wouldn´t be tempted by some delicious Visitable Juice? Especially if it was fresh and backed up by a great billboard. As far as I can tell, Visitable Juice offers you the multiple delights of carrots, tomatoes, lemons, pineapples and a few unidentified things.
Spotted Dick
As a Brit, I fully understand that the rest of the world thinks that we are all weird for eating food with bizarre, rude and quaint names. I would hate to shatter anyone´s illusions but I have never eaten spotted dick and I don´t even know anyone who has. I don´t even know what it is made of, although a quick Google search at least put my worst fears to rest.
Rabbit Poo
It´s all very well being painfully honest and giving your strange food product a name it deserves but this is probably going too far. Sure, those chocolate covered raisins looks like rabbit poo but was it really necessary to give them that name? Sadly, it appears to be an internet hoax, as I just went into a store and asked for some rabbit poo but only got a nasty look in return.
Kickapoo and Power Root
Kickapoo Joy juice? Really? This strange drink started life in a comic strip but made its way into the real world. You can buy it in Asia but it apparently doesn´t melt the rivets off battleships like the comic strip version could. The Power Root drink seems a bit tame in comparison but if you ever feel the need for a Power Root then you should definitely give it a try.
Nuclear Licorice Lozenge
What better way to end a tough day than to sit back in your favorite chair and tuck into a handy plastic container of nuclear licorice lozenges? This sounds like the most bizarre food ever but what does it taste like? If you are brave enough to ever try it and survive the experience then feel free to let me know.
Creamed Possum
Surely I can´t be the only person who has ever wondered what creamed possum would taste like? Of course, there is also the risk that the little critter is only pretending to be the dead filling in a canned food product and springs to life when you try and sink your teeth into him. It turns out to be a novelty can that contains no possum at all. So what´s the blooming point of that then?
VegePoo
If you worked in the Vegemite marketing department you would surely feel the stresses of strains of trying to get people to buy something that most sane people despise. Well, you would probably crack under this immense strain and do something very silly. For example, you might call the next product in the range VegePoo. It looks like another fake to me but to be honest I don´t know what´s fake and what´s real anymore in this crazy, mixed up world we live in.
