Another small incentive: I don't know how people feel about UVERworld around here, but the fourth OP is one of the best GET PUMPED, FUCK YEAH OPs ever. Nails the "this is the climax!" feel perfectly, as the final quarter of the show is a nonstop sequence of shit getting increasingly real with each passing episode.
One of those every now and again won't kill ya.
everyone in my family is diabetic and has heart disease anyway so I have nothing to lose

If it was a bit more translucent, it would also be horribly reminiscent of aspic/meat jelly/etc:
WTF is that shit?!
I was somewhat kidding. I've probably only had two or three of those in the last year.
That looks so good
If I was a millionaire I'd just fly across the world sampling foods.
You can...but it involves not buying anime Blu-ray/DVD/figurines for a while.
It'll usually be in the freezer section in any Chinese/Asian grocery, you can just pick some up there.That looks so good

Given your family's culturally mixed culinary tradition I am very surprised you've never had this.

To be fair, the stuff they do is reprehensible. It's just portrayed in a way that you feel bad for them, which is arguably worse. For example (semi early spoilers)
there's a man that's been stealing organs from people for a while, but it was all for his incredibly sick daughter. I can't remember how exactly that helped, but I think it was pretty contrived. Anyway, Ogami burns the guy IN FRONT OF HIS WHEELCHAIR BOUND DAUGHTER. She looks horrified. It's implied Ogami did that to give her some magical will to live so she can carry out a Kill Bill style revenge when she gets older, but it was still visually fucked up.
Chicken guts that have been sitting under a heat lamp all day isn't my idea of a good time, but to each his own. I've eaten more gas station hot dogs in desperation than I'm comfortable admitting.

That's world-class cuisine right there.
That second image was labeled "calf's foot jelly" on google.
Well it's at least more memorable than the ending to Summer Wars.

They sell it. I've had it. I couldn't eat it just because of the colour.
It's black sesame seed. I also saw ice cream in this flavour.
Grey deserts. It's just wrong.
It's apparently called Kuro Goma Pudding (Purin)
It looks like they boiled gym socks and granite dust in a pot with some gelatin and let it cool. I couldn't handle it.

Head Cheese?

Needs more yaoi overtones.
I wonder if it would even be remotely possible for a new anime adaptation to fix some of the issues with the manga provided they're due to incoherent presentation and not inherent in the plot. Probably not, but I can dream.
That's what I've always heard it called colloquially.
NEVER.
My family doesn't make a whole lot of dessert things, at least on the Chinese side. Lots of appetizers and other goodies. Maybe they get some of those egg roll cookies and stuff like that.
On my moms side we have a lot of pecan pralines, coccoons, and homemade Big Red ice cream.
first Kids on the Slope, now this and K. 2012 really is the year of the fujoshi
2nd OP is the best OP.
Luckily after a few months that little, confusing "arc" ended and it went back to Allen doing stuff but man . . . that was so bad.
There's stuff happening in the back-from-wrist-injury chapters, but it's really difficult to make it out simply because nothing makes sense sequentially. It also jumps between like three different perspectives and I'm still not sure just what happened in that period.

Eh, its not really like that. chicken gizzards taste like tougher chicken, but I like the texture of them. The real specialty here is boudin and it is astoundingly delicious food. There are dozens of places that make it the specific way its made here.
Also, my family makes dim-sum style things like wontons, some kind of translucent jelly thing with meat in it, and sweet pork buns, thingsl ike that. Also joong which is a sort of chinese tamale wrapped in bamboo leaves.

I've heard of it, but after seeing what it's made of, I have no intention of ever trying it.

A better quality version of the fourth D. Gray Man opening, just for DTL to get hyped for the show:

This is a good page about joong

Well, the main character looks an awful lot like (a more serious version of) Rin from Blue Exorcist.

That sounds borderline parody.
Uverworld songs are always awesome to hear.

Why are you always late, duckroll?
There's not much to actually see in that trailer anyway.
Oh by the way, that gelatinous head cheese stuff you guys posted is actually really popular with Cajuns. They call it hog's head cheese here.

But it's shounen (by the Samurai Deeper Kyo woman).
Reborn is shonen too.

Hey, somebody thinks he's funny over here.
That sounds decidedly difficult to salvage. I think I'll subject myself to the manga out of morbid curiosity and put my hopes for another series/series of OVAs to rest.
The closest thing to meat jelly that I can tolerate is the congealed gelatinous fat/melted cartilage/whatever that comes in a really nice pork tenderloin. I was brought up on the most boring white midwestern diet that you can imagine so my palate is kind of limited and woefully inexperienced when it comes to exotic cuisine.
I think that I was told that the substance was referred to head cheese because the meat is traditionally the scrapings from the inside of the skull, so I always avoided it like the plague, hahah. I can't even eat anything that involves suspending bits of vegetable and fat in meat like pickle loaf.
Man, this gets my dormant shounen haato pumping hot blood.
I've tried a lot of different foods and flavors. you would probably love a lot of the stuff thats out there. Have you tried butter chicken and naan?
Also, today is WATCH ANIME ALL FUCKING DAY day so I I have to pick something out of a very large backlog to marathon.

That was my point when I mentioned SDK.
Sure. I like aspic if it's made of the right ingredients.
If you can't buy it at Kroger I probably haven't eaten it.
lol Kroger is one of the places I dispatch drivers to. they get REALLY pissed if you run their store out of fuel.
But anyway, you should try some different foods. Really great experiences.
But I digress, its time to watch a show...something...
Sailor moon?
Precure?
Apollon?
Tsuritama?
Sankarea?
Nyaruko san?
Can't go wrong with any of the first four!
And speaking of supermarket chains, I just have to ask while I have the opportunity: as a southerner, have you ever been to a Piggly Wiggly? Please tell me you've been to a Piggly Wiggly.
Of course. there's a Piggly wiggly my mother goes to all the time, and its down the street from a Winn Dixie. I've been in there dozens of times. Its a nice little grocery store.
Medaka is only 3 years old?
Series only started May 2009.
