"Delicious, delicious, delicious. Unfortunately, they’re also hard as rocks. A fear-for-your-teeth hardness. I don’t like my snacks coupled with abject terror over thousands in dental bills. But the taste of the ones I managed to carefully masticate was sooo good ... But then, I might well be an idiot along the lines of 'Huh? You need to SHELL the walnuts before putting them in cookies?'" – cayjohan, on delicious-but-impenetrable Egyptian melon seeds

"Everyone always tries to get their potatoes fluffy and all I want ... well, all I want is a potato that reminds me of the Elmer's Glue I loved back in kindergarten." – IrishPotato, on the appeal of gummy potatoes

"I've actually been debating doing my own take on the 'box of horrors' that was popular when I was young, but instead of spaghetti, mashed Jell-O, and peeled grapes, serving fried lamb brains with curried yogurt, braised tripe, and chorizo with chickpeas, and something else. I've not thought of the appropriate substitute for eyes." – JungMann
