During some drinkies at Chez Clumsy this evening, he revealed that a key ingredient was xantham gum. I piped up, saying I had a bag of xantham gum in the cupboard - a relic of a short-term fling with gluten-free cooking. With several Cascade lights on hand, Dan demanded we try some experiments. For Science.
We added about three teaspoons of the fluffy white powder to about 100mls of beer. The initial reaction was just a bigger head, and a bit of a rank odour emanating from my Ikea tumbler. We declared it a failure and went back to general chit-chatting.
About an hour later we discovered this:
I know! Gross right? Then check out this close-up shot of The Blob:
Ick! That is lumpy, gummy, beer-flavoured blob. Despite Science, no one was brave enough to taste it.
It's amazing what horrid things you can concoct in the privacy of your own kitchen. And let's not mention that mushroom risotto I made that time.
That is easily the most disgusting thing I've seen on the internet today. And that's saying something.
ReplyDeleteIf I knew you were going to post it on the web I would have tried tasting it again once it had got to that point, but I still would have tasted like corn flour.
ReplyDeletelooks like wats under the skull in john faulkners head?

You are lucky it didn't take over the kitchen. The Wah should get down on his knees and apologise

To all the old people I know... Beware!
ReplyDeleteThe gelatinous mass in that cup could be in your culinary future! YOUR FUTURE!
I'd have tasted it. But I don't drink beer so I'm probably not a good taste tester for beer goo.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the most fascinating things I've ever seen!
ReplyDeleteAs to age and the future...
ReplyDeleteI don't think it would go up a straw...I suppose it could be administered colonically !!!
Ooooh !!! Hello Sailor...
Nuff said

Just one last question.
ReplyDeleteIf no one was game to taste it, how do you know it was beer flavoured? Or, for that matter,
corn flour flavoured.
Ooooh beware the evil BLOB lurking in the kitchen

Allen

I wonder if poor old Damien would have to deal with your complaints this morning.
ReplyDelete"Hello? Ah yes, I wish to inform your company that my slimey, squealchy and gummy mass was not quite what I imagined it this morning. There was a distinctive hops and barley flavour, and it produced a rather unexpected feeling of euphoria. Please explain."

Ah yes Geoff.
ReplyDelete"BLOODY MANLY"
But only because of the conspiracy within the NRL, NRL Judiciary, Referee panel and all Bookies apparently, according to Craig and his boss
On the up side it wasn't
