HE ATE IT (edit: HE DIDN'T DIE)

[spatch]

Well, the SA forums poster who promised to try the Melted Cheese Balls recipe has done so and posted the results on YouTube:

He only made 1/3 of the recipe, and I don't blame him one bit. You couldn't quite make balls out of the stuff, but he did put it in a nice little dish to make it look like a mutant souffle or an especially insidious creme brulee. His reaction to the first bite is priceless. Hell, the whole thing is great. I haven't stopped laughing about it yet. I've donated 4200 yen to the Japanese Red Cross per his request, which came out to a little over $51 USD so I said the extra $1 was for the appropriate soundtrack.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why I love the Internet.

Now I'm kind of wondering if you can get that into ball form with less water. Not that there's much of anything binding-wise in there...

I, too, love the Internet.

Sure -- melt the butter first and shape it warm. It'll be crumbly when it cools, but you should be able to bake it.

Shortbread doesn't have anything to bind it either, and yet it works. (Now I want shortbread. Dammit....)

...the whole thing. He ate the WHOLE THING. Wow. (I was chanting "take a second bite" after the first one, but then? He ate the whole thing. Double wow.)

Also? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

"especially insidious creme brulee."

That wins the Internet for today.

Shortbread: proof that the Force exists.

I would have melted the cheese first and then stirred the melted cheese in with the butter and flour. But it would probably still need some added water on top of that.

That's wonderful.

I can't believe he ate the whole thing. That's dedication to the experiment.

This exchange somehow seems appropriate here.

Denina: "Is it good?"
Phillipa: "Not at all.
D: "Awww….Is it a tasty treat?"
P: "Uh-uh."
D: "A fancy feast?"
P: "No…"
D: "A culinary delight?"
P: "That's an interesting phrase but it's not really appropriate for what I am eating here."

Indeed....

[heliopsis.livejournal.com]

Yes, exactly. Clearly, it was a shortbread recipe. Not that I'm planning to make a batch to prove my point.

You're right...his face was...fabulous. and I love the last line.."make if you want..I don't see why you'd want to."

I AM LAUGHING SO HARD RIGHT NOW.

[xiphias.livejournal.com]

Will you video it and put it up as a response to that one?

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why I love the Internet.

It's a very impressive place.
