Mystery Can II: Tracie's Journal |
DAY THREE: Mangosteen in Syrup
Pre-Consumption: I had dinner plans tonight, so I took a can with me to eat with lunch at work. Opening Ceremony: I thought it was full of scallops, but they smelled and tasted sweet, like what I imagine lychees to taste like. Post-Consumption: Jay told me they weren't lychees, but actually mangosteens. Well, whatever they were, they were delicious. I ate the entire can, and would have gone back for more. This one was a winner. Epilogue: I'm surprised there aren't fruity girly drinks named after these. Mangosteeni anyone? | ![]() ![]() |

DAY FOUR: Diced Rutabagas
Pre-Consumption: I think I'm going to stick with the taking-the-can-for-lunch strategy. I usually eat a bigger lunch than dinner, so it works out better for me. Also, I'm usually so bored at work that I get hungry, so why not snack on a Mystery Can? Well, there are plenty of reasons why I wouldn't want to snack on a Mystery Can, but at least the disgust helps dull the boredom of an office job. And if I puke at work, maybe they'll let me go home early. Win, win, win, win. Opening Ceremony: It's like Jay somehow knew all my weaknesses. Are these canned carrots? One of the few foods that I don't care for is cooked carrots. And now I have to eat a can of them. Post-Consumption: I can't really tell if these are carrots or not, but they're diced, orange, mushy, and they sort of taste like carrots. I was eating them plain until I couldn't take the mushy grossness anymore, and then I mixed them into the leftover chili that I brought for lunch. For the record, this bowl of chili also contains some of the tomatillos from Day Two. It's Mystery Can Extravaganza Chili. This is currently in second place behind the tomatillos on my list of Things I Don't Want to Eat A Whole Can Of. Epilogue: I ate a packet of sugar to help get the taste out of my mouth. | ![]() ![]() ![]() |
