She’s just so cute and so are these snacks. I don’t know if it’s her personality or the fact that sometimes she lets a burp of epic proportions rip on camera.

So if you google ‘Food Costumes’ this comes up in the first 5 images.
I’m disturbed since the costume doesn’t look like food…and I know some people do eat guinea pigs….but now not hungry. But if you need one here you go
If you’d prefer to antagonise the tiny panther who is totally capable of shitting in your shoes you can try this on your little Fluffy Murder Mittens.
Just plain wrong. But it is inventive.
A classic but it feels played out.
If you’re still hungry you can get an order of fries
I know this one’s a stretch but the fruit basket makes it JUST fit
Okay, so pumpkins are a Fall thing and not just Halloween but this recipe actually looks simple and doable. Unlike the Chocolate Chip Sheet Pan Pancakes I found right before I settled on this one–Pumpkin & Pesto Crostini which is fancy for cheese and stuff on toast.
Look at that. Even I can do that. And you can too. The recipe calls for burrata. That’s fancy talk for soft mozzarella.
I’m not a fan of avocados but maybe you are. Here is the recipe.
I’m sure you can make a zombie version too.
Or if you’re a classic Star Trek fan—–>
If anyone wants to get me an early birthday present Vincent Price wrote several cookbooks. But of course perhaps you’d like to dine with him at Sbirros
If you prefer to watch the Alfred Hitchcock version try this
Also as you may notice I have a fermentation thing going on.
I am from Northern NJ so of course I have been to White Castle about 4 million times. Like any normal person the only real question I had for many years was, “Is 4 really enough?” But now I know the true question is “What in the hell are these other things on the menu?”
Don’t worry, I have answers. They are terrifying. For this outing I’ve focused only on the the “Other” Sliders. Did you know there were other sliders?
In fairness a lot of these are just variations on the same theme. A Slider and a Slider with Cheese–you all know what cheese is so no one needs to explain the difference there. I also don’t need to explain a “Double”–that just an extra beef patty. But then things go off the rails. Let’s discuss.
Impossible Slider
I did eat one of these, but didn’t get photos. They look fine. Unfortunately they taste like ham you forgot at the back of the fridge for 8 months. But drier. And with the texture of poorly made tofu. Also the smoked cheese kinda smells like smoked plastic. I’m not entirely sure it wasn’t smoked plastic. Grade D-
Fish Slider
I know what fish should taste like.
This tastes like fried clams. Which isn’t that strange really, since fried clams ARE an actual menu item at White Castle.
No, that’s not a joke. A joke would be funny.
Grade C
Bacon and Chedder Chicken Slider
I hate to have to be the one to tell you this but bacon cannot save everything.
It certainly could not save this.
Also the chicken tastes of fried clams. The implications of that annoy me.
Grade C- because making chicken taste like clams is NOT OKAY
Veggie Slider
This did NOT taste of clams! It also did not taste of anything else. I could see broccoli and carrots in the patty so I believe that they did use vegetables. Sad, sad vegetable plants. Like left over Home Depot plants no one bought.
Clearly they cook them the same way my late mother did–with the intent to beat them into goopy submission.
Also you can see this comes with literally nothing but a bun. So lonely.
Grade F
Chicken and Waffle Slider
We’re back to clam flavor again, but now with Maple Syrup! BTW bacon cannot save this either.
Unlike the menu photo this slider doesn’t come with any sauce. I actually think this is a mercy.
If you are still drunk from the night before I guess you could have this for breakfast, but don’t.
Grade B- for the maple.
So what’s the takeaway–all of these are DRY. Many of them are fried in the oil they use for the clam strips. I know I keep saying for a burger joint they serve a lot of fishy items.
I just advise people to order four sliders, go for the cheese. If you’re hungry make them doubles. And a sack of fries–they don’t taste like clams.
I know, I know–the last time I shared an eldritch secret it was about low calorie ice cream too. It’s 90 outside for the 400th day in a row.
I have to confess tonight I had real calorie ice cream, soft serve Bourbon Vanilla Toffee to be exact.
But I really want to talk about this “ice cream.” If you taste it you will 100% know it’s not the Cadillac of Ice Cream but it’s got 2 important things going for it.
- They know you’re going to eat the whole pint. They acknowledge that right on the front.
- It tastes good. Not a dupe of ice cream but a credible representation for anyone who is watching calories.
Surely you’ve noticed that “Hard” and “Soft” ice cream have different textures. “Light” ice cream tends to have both taste and texture issues.
The Soft
Most of the people in my geographic area have a childhood romance with Mr Softee trucks and the soft -serve ice cream those trucks sell. For many years I could not wrap my head around why anyone would want HARD ice cream. How would you even eat that? BLERGH.
The Hard
But then you get a little older and learn to appreciate the diversity of flavors, and add-ins, available with hard packed ice cream. And the higher fat content that carries more flavor. And it melts much slower. And it can be brought home and tucked away for your 2 am “If no one sees me eat it, it has no calories” adventures.
The Incomprehensible
Then there is the growing category of light ice creams. Some substitute fats for sugar, some omit sugars, some freeze into pint sized hockey pucks (looking at you Halo Top), likely because the lack of emulsifiers. They don’t always feel that good you, for me at least, I can’t get to the taste as I’m already put off.
And Now, The Compromise
Yes, that’s how it’s spelled. I checked. Yes, the apostrophe does go there.
Maybe you miss the creamy texture or the Pied Piper like Mr Softee music. Well, one of those can be bought in your freezer section if you find “churned” ice cream. Churned, like soft-serve, has a lot of air mixed in to halfway to the ice cream of childhood. But those still have a lot of sugar in them.
Nick’s is certainly churned. In fact it’s lighter in texture than soft-serve. It’s also got no “white sugar” in it. Some flavors are keto-friendly.
That’s a lot of gum. And I’m sure some people might not like Erythritol (a sweetner and a thickener) or Xylitol (a sweetener). It makes some people’s tummies unhappy. Meaning you’ll fart and poop like mad. This is PG-13 blog so get over it.
But I like it, and I like I can work it into my calorie budget. If you’re interested, you can get a coupon here (as on this post time). I am NOT an affiliate.
