Idk what the fuck this brand is even called. It just says "vegetable" and is the culinary equivalent of crack cocaine. Yes, I did eat that entire pack in one sitting.

Ignore my hairy leg in the background. I'm boymodding.

tingling and spicy three shreds

under that in yellow it says no preservatives added

the part over "VEGETEBLE" just looks like a brand name to me

inside the yellow medal in red upper right is {脆|cuì} or crisp and {保|bǎo}{脆|cuì}{工|gōng}{艺|yì} crisp protection technology

I like getting these random packs from the Asian supermarkets near me.

Sometimes it's vegeteble like yours

Sometimes it's what I'm assuming is pure gluten and spice

Is the person on the packaging wearing a mushroom like a medal

I demand to know what kind of food this is

[–] miz@hexbear.net 12 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

three kinds of sliced vegeteble with that sichuan peppercorn spicy where your mouth gets numb and tingly.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 8 points 4 weeks ago

That sounds amazing, I want some.

It's pickled veggies

Asia gets all the best snacks. I wish my grocery store stocked arare rice crackers, I can eat them by the bag full.

This type of stuff is really good for a stir fry. Fry it earlier in the ingredient set (quickly put a lid on because the moisture coming out will cause little explosions) and it will add a delicious sour crunch to the meal. It's funny to imagine you just eating it straight up I've only ever cooked it

That's .... an amazing idea I gotta give it a try

They won the gold medal in spicy standing lessons

[–] pierre_delecto@hexbear.net 5 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

That looks good. Is it mushrooms?

[–] miz@hexbear.net 7 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (1 children)

I am not sure if mushrooms are considered a vegeteble but I don't see the word for mushroom ({蘑|mó}{菇|gu}) on the package

They're definitely not plants, but culinary definitions don't really follow biologist lines so idk they're probably fruit or something..

[–] miz@hexbear.net 8 points 4 weeks ago

yeah a fun tidbit I remember is that fungi are closer genetically to animals than they are to plants

[–] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 8 points 4 weeks ago

it's true. source: am horticulturalist. vegetable is a culinary distinction, not a botanical one.

vegetative growth, fruiting bodies are biological features.

I work in "specialty crops" which includes mushrooms, but in The Academy for agriculture, the mycologists are rare and generally in plant/animal pathology departments identifying diseases and forestry departments just being weird.

There are 6 "kingdoms" of life, Plants, Animals, Fungi, ArchaeBacteria, EuBacteria and Protists.
