This is the stuff we attempted to drink... the Guana wasn't bad - until Dave saw the rust eating away the bottom rim of the can. The other stuff was just horrible - tasted like dishwater and a mouthful of aluminum. We fed it to the monkey. He will be missed.

Here we seee the entire setup - the 1902A monitor to the left, the C64 at the bottom next to the classic Atari joystick. The 5 1/4" disks are above that - and to the right are the 1541 andBlue Chip disk drives. The 1541 didn't work so well.... and neither did the Blue Chip drive, but it was all worth draggin all of this vintage "crap" out for the day. We managed to get a few games loaded up as you can hear in the show... but all that playing got us a little hungry...

Ahhh, the mighty Commodore 64. Pork and I have wasted away many days of our youth playing games on one of these (not this one, Pork got this at a yard sale - the whole setup for like $5 or $10, something like that) - and we absolutely loved it! Not only that, but our minds are stuffed with great memories from those experiences. Those of you out there that did the same know what I mean. Good times. Good times.

It's finally here - the Pork n' Beans Commodore 64 Tribute Show!!
In this episode we pay respect to our favorite plastic package of circuits and switches. We’ve wasted… I mean spent a LOT of our childhood playing games on this little masterpiece and loved every minute of it!
We brought in our good friend Los of “Los and Smoke” podcast and “Philly Phools” podcast fame to take a walk down memory lane and share with you what we loved about the Commodore 64. The show ended up being so damn long that we split it into two parts.

Stay tuned for some photos....

I was checking out the used music scene at this cool little cd store when I came across these little morsels. Obviously I had to pick'em up and find out for myself what the perfect blend of sweet, mint and meat would taste like. Aw man, what were they thinking?!! they tasted like I had a mouth full of smoky bacon - with a hint of mint. For one I am amazed that somebody actually pitched this at a meeting somewhere and everyone loved the idea, but I am also perplexed at how they managed to capture the EXACT flavor of bacon in these things. Bit into one and the smokiness really rushes out - it's too wierd. Well that's my take on these, here is another review: http://candyaddict.com/blog/2007/02/27/candy-review-bacon-mints-yes-bacon-mints/ .

I saw this place very close to where I live - I thought it was hilarious. Gonna have to try it sometime. I wonder what comes with the Triple Delight. Maybe some ho mein. Ha Ha Ha *cough* ha. sigh. That was awful.

The after math. This edition of Crusty Cuisine was more educational than repulsive... but we have something in store for the next edition that should please the listening audience. Stay tuned!!

We'll let Pork dispose of all of the leftovers, since Cheezer would not clean up after us. Rotten robot, I have to re-program him to be more obedient!!

Mmmmm, Ham jerky!! This was by far the best of the lot - we used it's soft texture and sweet flavor to rid our mouths of that awful Antelope and Elk. They were the worst without question. They added too much pepper, to mask the rotten flavor of the meat ( especially the Antelope.. Ewwwwk!). And for some reason the Antelope had a rotten fishy-ness to it. ???

Yo everyone!! We're back with show # 5 and another Crusty Cuisine segment, where we examine the strange things that people eat around the world. Today we taste different kinds of game jerky. Among the flavors are: HAM (that's right, Los!), Wild Boar, Elk, Pheasant, Antelope, and Ostrich. Also available, but Dave couldn't get them, were Rattlesnake, Cajon Alligator, and some sort of Turtle. According to the labels above, most of these are mixed with Beef and the flavor was evident to us. I guess they do that to stretch the meat out to make more sticks, just like you add bread crumbs to hamburger meat. I dunno! lol
