Super sorry I fucked this up, I can't claim I wasn't aware of the concept, because the pre-recording communication was thorough.  I just find I enjoy recording so much more when I have no idea what to expect that I did my usual pregame (ie absolutely nothing) and that wasn't what I was supposed to be doing.

I haven't listened to the episode so I don't know how much of my flogging was included, but rest assured Neal, it happened.  Boots also complained the usual amount about the quality of the headset Lemon told me specifically to buy to get them to stop complaining about my headset.

This was fun though and we should totally potluck something at F+ Live so we can spread the misery around.

This is the most high concept F Plus in a long long time and I really appreciate every second of it. From Adam and Achilles' dinner party to the Pomme de Terror in motion to Boots's Shoresy jokes to all the good good pictures, I don't think there's another episode that is even close to being as multifaceted and dense as this one. New big fave.

Really, the length is the only thing stopping it from being a perfect episode to introduce someone to the show with. Though it’s definitely already on the short list of “well, if you liked that episode check out these”.

I guess technically that's true. If you want to record an addendum where you drink the Kool-Aid smoothie, rest assured that spirulina powder is actually a lot cheaper if you don't buy it from Nutrex.

fun fact: spirulina is actually made out of a kind of cyanobacteria, not an algae, but it isn't made out of the cyanobacteria called spirulina, due to a naming fuckup from a hundred years ago that wasn't fixed until after they started selling it

This episode was an absolute delight. Thank you Neal for the doc and to Lemon for not only editing it, but also using my bread glop as the lead photo on this thread!
I made a Google doc of my experience making my dish that I shared with the room. Here is that article, freshly remade in non-doc form (with tiny pictures, because I couldn't figure out how to make them bigger):

So, for the most recent recording we did about making terrible food, I had three choices:

https://www.wikihow.com/Make-Overnight-French-Toast
https://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-French-Toast-Martini
https://www.wikihow.com/Make-Tofu-French-Toast

As tempting as all of those sound, I suspected that the overnight option would just lead to me discovering a pan of bread mush in the morning, and I didn’t want to buy a bunch of liqueurs I would never touch again for a joke martini. So, tofu it is!
For those of you who didn’t want to follow a Wikihow link (shame on you), here are the ingredients:

4 slices whole-wheat bread
1/2 pound soft tofu
1/4 cup (60 mL) soy milk or rice milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup (60 mL) water
1 tablespoon soy margarine

In true AllRecipes fashion I subbed in regular margarine for soy margarine because a) I already had it and b) fuck you if you think I’m hunting down soy margarine for this abomination.
So! I gathered all the ingredients in a bowl and dusted off my immersion blender and mixed them up! I will say “shame on me” now, because I didn’t get a picture of the ingredients in the bowl pre-blend, but here’s the slurry I ended up with:

(https://i.imgur.com/sAJD9uu.jpg)

Now let’s put it in a “pan” and soak a piece of bread!

(https://i.imgur.com/9WHMpAS.jpg)

Now to fry it! I did make another substitution and just used white bread because I already had it. Because I’m American. We have to have some. It’s the law!

(https://i.imgur.com/swPIQaQ.jpg)

Okay, in the actual pan! Doesn’t look amazing yet, but just wait until it browns!

(https://i.imgur.com/FRmwpKU.jpg)

I...hmm. I admit that I haven’t ever made ACTUAL French toast. So I’m not sure if it should look like this while cooking. But it’s turning all mushy...maybe I shouldn’t leave the next two slices in the “egg batter” mixture for so long.

(https://i.imgur.com/g1VDkfI.jpg)

One of the ones I left soaking for less time. Hmm. Seems about the same!

(https://i.imgur.com/zTnqOTL.jpg)

So there it is! I included a piece of margarine that accidentally fell into the tofu-goop and some of the crusty leavings in the pan that I scraped off!

(https://i.imgur.com/i0orVOL.jpg)

How does it taste? Well, you’ll have to listen to the episode to find out! Because I don’t even know yet! I’m going to eat it then! God help me!

And now you know how it tasted to me! Or, you know, you haven't listened to the episode yet and you don't know. In which case, get to listenin'.

Epilogue: A week after the recording, I still had the "pan" of hate-smoothie that was the "egg batter" in my fridge, hoping that I may find some possible use for this "food". I eventually ended up putting it in a "trash bag" and "throwing it the fuck out".

Finally got around to listening to this and it's gold. Victor's segment reminds me of something that happened to my fiancée though.

She did a module on autism at the University of Puerto Rico, and apparently one lecturer was a believer in certain pseudoscience... to the extent that they handed out copies of the Wakefield "study" as course material, telling everyone to just ignore the fact that it had RETRACTED stamped across the whole thing in red block capitals.
