I don’t remember it being fishy or cube-shaped. If I had to guess the meat, I’d guess beef or pork. And the shape was roughly spherical, but kindof… lumpy? It looked like it had been maybe torn off of a larger chunk of meat and then formed a bit.
Very likely! What I had was formed and individually wrapped in little wrappers like you might expect Werther’s caramels to come in, bu the texture does sound similar to that. Neat!
For sure. If Trump’s raving about you, you must be doing something right.
At my place of work, one project we worked on involved a lot of contractors from a place based in China. (The project was an absolute cluster-fuck all the way from soup to nuts, but that’s a story for another day.) When the project concluded, they sent our office a thank-you gift box of various Chinese snacks.
One of the snacks was a… dried… meat… “candy”… I guess? The taste wasn’t “sweet” so much. It tasted like it had been dipped in perfume. And the texture of the meat was hard to describe. Not chewy like jerky, and it didn’t have that highly-processed Slim Jim sort of texture to it. Maybe it was sortof freeze-dried or something? I also couldn’t identify what animal the meat might have come from. (And I couldn’t read the text on the packaging.)
I’m not sure whether it was just an acquired taste or rather a practical joke by the folks at the Chinese company. Lol.
Artificial intelligence has proved to be even more valuable as a writer of computer code than as a writer of words.
I call bullshit.
I don’t exist.
Just turn on a light. They’ll show up presently.
Seriously, though, Lemmy’s search feature is surprisingly good these days. Searching for “moth” and/or “lamp” will probably get you quite a lot of the results. Plus, if you find the usernames of some frequent moth meme posters, you can probably look at their posting history to find more examples.
The mention of “cold” makes me think you’re thinking they were prepared food of some sort or at least “wet”. These were shelf-stable, individually-wrapped “candies” (I think the note on the gift box even referred to them as “candies”) that came in a larger, plastic bag with art and text printed on it. Like you might think of bags of, say, these. Except they were a dried meat product, not losenges or caramels or whatever. And they weren’t “sweet” the way you think of candy. They tasted like you might imagine something dipped in perfume (and then dried) might taste. One more detail: I remember them being drier than any jerkey I’d ever eaten. They simply didn’t have enough moisture in them to have any heat conductivity to speak of. (Asking if they were cold is like asking if room-temperature Rice Crispies dry and straight from the box are “cold”.)
