Green Gelatinous Snack with Meat

Apparently this snack is for Tomb Sweeping Day, which was at the beginning of April. The best way to understand this is with an unveiling of the snack in photos:



Here is the snack, in a cute and unassuming little box, no more than a couple of inches across. Looks pretty harmless.



Inside we find a green globule.



Unwrap and...who's in here? It's meat floss (dried shredded meat).



The meat floss begins to emerge.




I had to play with it awhile before I ate it. Maybe it's because it was actually just like that green slime we used to play with as kids, only slightly firmer. But the texture was identical.

Taste: Sweet, sticky and soft outside, and meaty, salty and fuzzy inside. I don't think those adjectives should go together. Ever.

i was thinking it was an organ that had gone bad and had to be removed--did you close your eyes prior to eating? Your choice of adjatives will not make you the best food writer...but i think they are valid discriptions given what you are sampling...

Wrong Wrong Wrong!

P.S. I enjoyed your Nigel shout-out.

Time for a new snack--the discription of this one is kinda grossing me out each time i see it on my blog--maybe it is the word gelatinous combined with green and meat....
