[ so, about those turkey testicle festival fliers popping up… he should be embarrassed that this is his first contribution to the adi network, but, well, curiosity? ]

Has anyone else seen the ads for the event happening at the Bottoms Up bar this weekend? Better yet, is anyone going?
I didn’t realize turkey testicles were a thing across the country. Arizona had a big annual event when I lived there.

[ which doesn’t necessarily mean current arizona dabbles in the double-t festival. ugh. timelines. alternate realities. his brain is complaining. ]

People back home took it pretty seriously.
Anyway. All of this to say: is anyone braving a taste?
I promise they aren’t terrible.

[ ringing endorsement. ]

( ooc; keith will be posting a log for this… soon right here. )

not a fan of the idea, but it makes sense people would eat it. better than letting anything go to waste.

hard pass though.

[ but wandaaaaa. ]

Not even one?
They’re not all that bad.

[ … he keeps saying this. texting this? apparently, he’s the turkey testicle advocate now. ]

A bit soft and gooey on the inside, but fried up, they’re similar to a chicken nugget. Dip it in hot sauce or ranch and you won’t be able to tell the difference.

"not all that bad" does not inspire a lot of confidence personally.

[takashi "turkey testicle advocate" shirogane omg]

it is not like nuggets are a preference either.
you americans have strange food traditions. if i have to use a dipping sauce to ignore what it is, isn't that telling of it not being good?

[earthshine]

[ now stop right there, wanda. this is not a conversation for logical arguments. ]

Yes but I didn’t say they were good to begin with. I said they weren’t bad.
The sauce only ensures they're extra not bad.

[ see. not a conversation for logical arguments.
this is his hill to die on.
-- how did he find himself here? ]

What if I said it’s an acquired taste?
Like coffee.

Equating turkey testicles to coffee. You should have led with that.

[Just a drive-by comment, amused.]

[earthshine]

[ it’s the drive-by magician.
-- come back. ]

It’s not how you start, it’s how you finish.

[ just call him the finisher.
wait.
don’t. ]

[FACEPALMS!! SHIRO!!!!]

i'm still highly unconvinced. coffee is not usually my go-to anyway.

are these a favorite food of yours?

[earthshine]

[ well.
not the turkey kind. ]

Would you be more apt to try one if I said yes?

[ or block his ip address? ]

[carmesi]

i wouldn't want to lie to you.

[the answer is no... to both trying them and blocking him.]

and i also wouldn't judge you.
