ooh we gonna make sith sushi?

[Master Rel]

ooh we gonna make sith sushi?

Hmmmm

adds squid ink to rice...making it black gohan...Sith sushi rice (trick to making long grain rice "sticky", add a bit more water to start with and do not add salt during cooking as it toughens the grains)...when cooling add rice vinegar and salt




adds aka miso to maguro...red Sith protein...although gochujang would be more corrupt





maybe some hijiki and kinshi tamago





Wrap in reverse with black rice outside, tuna, red garlic sauce, seaweed, and egg inside

(like the middle lower roll)




As a side dish I would use natto...if there ever was a product corrupted by the dark side it would be natto

The japanese eat some foul Schtuff

The japanese eat some foul Schtuff

Ah yeah, but to be fair we Americans have some odd taste buds ourselves

How about boiled animal bones and hide, colored with garishly colored chemicals, sometimes served with fruit? (me? Love it!)


Dried ground corn, treated with lye, then boiled...with cheese, butter, syrup, or sugar? (me? Love it!)


Curly salty corn chips, chili (with or without beans), processed cheese sauce, green or white onion if you are fancy? (hmmm I could take or leave this one...I use higher quality products but could follow a theme)


Chop off a young pigs foot, steam it, then pickle it? (oh no no no)


Bits of pieces of cooked pork including some of the offal bits (liver/kidneys/etc.), garlic, onion, salt/pepper, flour/corn meal made into a thick mush then allowed to set...then cut and fried? (not gross but sooo salty and livery)



As a final WTFood...I offer this, and no I am not on board for any of the below...e'
freakin gads

[Temple]

Um yah not sooo much

[Master Rel]

Back on topic...any updates to the DIY armor project?  Pics perhaps?

[Master Lucien Kane]

Right now I'm tied up on a project for a gentleman at my church... As soon as I am done with that we will have the credits to get the materials we need.

So Then I will post pictures. I'm thinking about getting a sheet of PVC and a sheet of Sintra, and testing them both.

[Temple]

Sintra is great to shape with a heatgun and you can put PVC in the oven and back it till its pliable. I have made armor outta PVC before. Impact durablility is so so you need to reinforce all the strapping with metal. but it still breaks.
I would build it outta of PVC for the shapes and then cast out of Carbon fiber or fiberglass or a combo there of.

Good to know... We may just throw everyone off and do this out of another material we're researching lol.

Boiled waxxed Leather for the win Wonderful against Impact attack

So the guy i knew who did this used a large serving kitchen boiler to get breatplate and thigh peices and what not.
The leather is worked to shape with water and let dry, painted with water soluable paints ( colors will darken so true whites are tough)
then when shaped and ready they are boiled in wax..

AMAZING IMPACT RESISTANCE
