Happy V-Day, have a Glutinous Rice Ball...



Wow, talk about bad. I meant to mention how gross these were the other day, but I forgot until now. We bought them at Asia World Market, because the package said they were vegan. I thought they were cookies. I couldn't have been more wrong. I would describe the texture of the Glutinous Rice Ball as jellied cornstarch, and the flavor was much the same. Imagine a dust covered, slimy, chewy, starchy goo and you would only begin to approximate the sickening mouth feel. The crushed peanuts inside this dreadful white lump were stale and flavorless, and their stale semi-crunch made the whole construct deeply disgusting. Additionally, their outsides were coated in some semblance of powdered sugar that neither tasted sweet, nor was easy to dust off my corduroy pants. In summation, I hated it. It was vile, foul and a resounding waste of two dollars and forty-nine cents.
