Brad Tries Durian Toffee

You've seen LordKat try the real thing.  Now lets see what it's like in candy form!

Also I try out some other treats from Japan such as Cuttlefish Crackers, Prawn Cocktail Chips, Musk Sticks, and Kasugai Peanuts.

Special Thanks to Brandon Donnelly and S. Frazier.

    I believe Kasugai Peanuts are soy sauce, seaweed, and something else (salt, probably) encasing a peanut. Yeah. And you were rather prophetic when you guessed that they'd all be shit since you liked the toffee.

      Not necesarily. I live in Japan and Kasugai Peanuts is just a variety of peanuts we have here. The ones with the seaweed coating are just one of the ways they are prepared and sold. And I love all of them

    I don't know what a cuttlefish is, but I'm pretty damn sure it shouldn't be a cracker.

    Well you probably came close to Deer Penis with that Musk stuff. I am convinced the Japanese are a nation of sadists. How can anyone think some of these things as chips or whatever could possibly be good.

    Walkers are MASSIVE in England.

    The reason for the prize is that Walkers love to let people make up there own flavored and then make them, and the best one will become manufactured for a few years or more depending on how well they are received.

    Brad, there is a very good Kasugai Peanuts flavor: the "Usupii". It's peanuts coated with an irregular layer of corn. It's awesome. What you ate is supposed to be squid flavored and it's the nastiest you can find.
    They also have green peas coated with the same corny substance. Quite decent too.

      Just so everyone knows Musk Sticks actually are meant to have that texture. They are have the kind of texture of being stale and when you eat them they sort of break apart. What can I say Australians like some weird stuff.

      Actually it was kind of weird I thought everyone would know about Musk Sticks. They are so common here. In fact this video makes me want to go buy some. mmmm Musk Sticks.

    Oh man, good job on finding the worst flavour of Walkers crisps ever made. I don't even like crisps all that much, but if I'm going to have them, it's got to be either Walkers' salt and vinegar or good old cheese Doritos.

      Yeah a few of those flavours are impressively foul. I think probably the chocolate and chilli takes the cake in the "this is an abomination against flavour" department though.

      I really found it odd that something so normal in England (excluding plain salted, Prawn Cocktail is the third most common/popular flavour) is so out there to you guys. I'm a little suprised that America doesnt have similar flavours to Britain considering that Walkers is part of Frito Lays.

    I love this experimentation, although I worry about the age of some of the things you try (health wise). Still this is pretty sweet. The worst combination I've ever tried was in one of Beijing's night markets: stinky tofu on a stick followed by a bit of cuttlefish roasted on a stick. I don't know which one of them did me in or if it was the combination, but that was one of the few foods I have ever spit out.

    You should definitely try stinky tofu... wonder if it comes in plastic bag snack form. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080514230415AAh3kSe

    No! You're ruining kitty's chances for internet celebritydom!

    On Animal Planet's "Weird True & Freaky," they mentioned a girl who found a fried rat's head in her prawn chips.

    It says here that musk is a substance obtained from the gland a male Musk Deer & is often used in perfumes. So it's eccentially Deer Ambergris.

    It's pronounced "Kahs'guy" The Is & Us in the middle are pronounced so quickly in Japanese that they're basically silent. Kasugai is a brand, not a flavor. It's probably dehydrated wasabi nuts.

    I think my favorite episode of this so far is actually the Bird's Nest one-- my husband and I have tried so many random Asian drinks that I laughed my ass off when you discovered the chunks. Ah, Asian drinks and their chunks.

    Anyway, good episode, although a little painful to watch sometimes. Nice cat cameos.

    Actually, Durians are famous for tasting great. It's the smell that's gotten them banned from residential areas in some places. By the way, I live in New York, so if you're ever in need of weird food or drinks, don't hesitate to drop me a line! Just had Mexican Coca Cola the other day. I know it's far from obscure, but it is really good!

    As people have pointed out Walkers is the British arm of Lays, and both are owned by Pepsi (or were at least) so the logo of both is kind of a version of the old Pepsi design. Not a fan of Prawn Cocktail myself, prefer their smokey bacon myself. Though Quavers (cheesy er... curls for those who don't know) own both imho.

    I was in Shanghai recently and Walkers was in every supermarket, so its not just Japanese. I saw the regular flavors (Original, BBQ, etc.), and then I saw the Prawn Cocktail and Chinese Cooked Fish.

    I also bought some cans of Pringle's Limited Edition Seaweed flavor, Lays Iced Tea flavor, and Lays Lime flavor potato chips. I might be able to send them over, even though the seaweed one is pretty bland and the other two are EXACTLY as advertised.

    It's mindboggling how a potato chip can taste like a dried form of Brisk.
