Do soy products really lower testosterone?
Because sometimes testosterone can be too high.

No, lol. If your testosterone is too high you can always ask your doctor about an androgen blocker.

No. There is no evidence that soy phytoestrogens have any hormonal influence on adult males, and they have looked quite hard.

Thanks, good to know

Wasabi popcorn is pretty win.

I don't think I'd have bought pine flavored chips. I'd just get gin for that.

You want me to fly over with obscure crisp flavours? 'k...

If he really wanted pine flavour, he should use retsina or some other brand of floor polish.

There is always Malort.

Okay, is this a real thing in the UK? Animal-flavored potato chips???

You haven't seen any of those in the United States? Ham flavoured? Bacon flavoured?

Ahhh bacon crisps. The chemical weapon of childhood. Burp an hour later and get the full flavour effect. And suspiciously 1/3 of the cost of real crisps.

Happy days.

The only meat-related chip flavour I've seen in the US is barbeque, which isn't even specifically meat. They're more likely to just buy pork rinds or jerkies if they want meat, IMO. The US has a lot of jerky.

 

[Takhisis]

No.

Wow. Here there's a lot of those, supposedly of US cultural origin.

I've seen them advertised on Amazon, under the Lay's brand. Roast chicken-flavored chips are really tasty. Bacon-flavored chips are standard here, whether Lay's or Old Dutch. Pringles recently introduced bacon-flavored chips but I haven't found a store that carries them yet. Pringles did have a hot dog flavor for awhile that was quite good. They also had a "mystery" flavor that turned out to be Philadelphia cheesesteak (also not bad).

I would definitely try the prawn-flavored chips, if they weren't so insanely expensive.

No.

Lay's Smokey Bacon-flavored potato chips

The link is from Amazon.com, which means they're available for you. Honestly, this has been one of the standard flavors for ages. You'll find them in basically every grocery store and probably plenty of convenience stores and even pharmacies in the junk food aisles. The flavor is nicely savory, not too hot, not too sweet, and not too spicy.

And I can't leave an open bag of them unattended, because Maddy will help herself if I do. She also likes them.

Hedgehog flavoured crisps were actually flavoured with pork fat and no hedgehogs were used in the manufacturing process. Mr Lewis, of Hedgehog Foods, interviewed Roma who actually did eat baked hedgehogs, to ascertain the flavour of hedgehogs. Mr Lewis then commissioned a flavourings firm to duplicate the flavour as closely as possible.

I hope the packaging makes it clear that real hedgehogs weren't used.

I would say that's a shame, but I've found with most foods like that there is probably a reason people don't raise them and eat them. Rabbit is good, but people like beef, pork, and chicken better, generally. People don't seem to raise hedgehogs for meat given options, and they probably grow fast enough they could. Same with squirrels, same with racoon. Racoon is an... acquired sort of taste.

Buffaloes are usually wingless animals.

The one time I had it, it was so greasy and gamey but I was young way back then

 

[Farm Boy]

I've never heard it described differently.

I wonder why :smile: is the fifth-appearing smiley in the site's collection of smileys. Isn't smile sort of the ur- smiley? How did , of all things, jump ahead in the line?
