Would you eat this?

Venture a guess what this is?

  1. Nope, not a drink. It's something to eat. And those aren't beans or any other type of vegetable.

  2. I am going to say a noodle/miso combo. But in glass? Cold?

  3. You have one thing right - it is cold. But no miso and no noodles. The glass is merely the vessel they chose. Could have been served in a variety of things.

  5. I just laughed out loud. The word verication phrase that Google required my on previous post on this topic was "worma"......so that dish MUST be some form of Italian worms in a gelantenous base of some type!

  6. Let's take a close look at the picture.
    Of course this a picture of John's arm. The spoon is being held in the left hand...John is left handed,BUT,unlike most lefties, his watch is also on his left.
    Second, his beer is almost gone. If he were just starting to eat, the glass would be either empty or full...not 'almost gone', which means he is slowing down, he's near the end of the meal.
    Next, his elbows are on the table which means he's very interested in this dish and is going to get down to business. He's had this before.
    This dish is served in a Martini glass, which tied together with all of the above means this is dessert.
    We know John's passion for creme brulee so this must be similar to taste and texture despite the 'worm-like' apperance.
    The noodles are floating in liquid so if it's a dessert the liquid is going to be sweet.
    They are in Asia, so it must be native to the area.
    It is...Cendol or Chendol.

  7. AMAZING analysis by Beercrow. It is in fact Chendol. Not liquid despite the fact that it's in a glass. More like a custard. Very sweet but I never had it before and didn't know what to expect so this was a little bit of a surprise. The green stuff is jelly but more like pudding. No idea why it's green or why it looks like worms. A Singapore favorite which is why we tried it. Nice job Beercrow a/k/a Sherlock Crow.
