Day 2.....
Still buzzing off the protein high from last nights dinner i was pretty excited about tucking into my next can until i opened it. This is what i was greeted with as i lifted the lid.
At first i thought maybe it was a can of harmless pickled parsnips. Then upon closer inspection i though maybe i was lucky enough to get bamboo shoots. But when i lifted the bamboo-parsnip out of the tin it disintegrated in my hand to resemble what i can only describe as an anemic cheese string.
All game for trying new things i took a bite. I have a sneaky suspicion this thing was canned pre-WW2 and even the desperation of rationing couldn't persuade people to open it. I decided to shove the lot in my stir-fry feeling all smug after eating a whole can the night before. Bad idea! after a few mouthfuls the boiled bamboo-parsnip-cheesestring started to taste like old fermenting socks. The centre of each one had disintegrated into a white goo that happily clung to every other veg on my plate, tormenting me as i tried to eat around the worst of it. I managed just over half the can before feeling like i had ingested a brick.
Thanks James!!!! All of sudden dinner tomorrow isn't looking so rosy
