This was my pick for best April fools prank of 2023. It got picked up by several foodie sites like this one (foodsided) who thought it was genuine. Brilliant move for LKK.

Lee Kum Kee adds spicy and satisfying Sriracha Milk for a limited time

by Cristine Struble1 day ago Follow @CristineStruble
For spice lovers, there is no limit to their devotion to the love of flavor. It is more a dash on some eggs at breakfast. In some ways, it can be part of everything. From plate to bowl to cup, why can’t it be everyone. Thanks to Lee Kum Kee and its very limited edition Sriracha Milk, it is time to bring the spice and flavor to the milk category.
Many people have expanded their milk preferences. Oat, almond and now sriracha can be part of that latte, smoothie or even cereal bowl. For anyone who wants to be part of the hottest trend, it is the cartoon to pour.
Looking at the milk category, no one has captured the spice option. Sure, oatmilk is smooth, but sriracha milk can have people getting a little hot under the collar. It is more than just about that perfect balance.
Given that Lee Kum Kee has 135-year heritage, people can trust this special, very limited time offering. Many people have turned to the brand for its bold, Asian sauces for flavoring their favorite dishes. Now, it is time to bring that complexity to the milk category.


[Image: https%3A%2F%2Ffoodsided.com%2Ffiles%2F20...LKK_v2.jpg]According to the brand, the Sriracha Milk features “a blend of chili pepper paste, vinegar, garlic, sugar, salt and 1% low fat milk.” Just think of this milk added to coffee. It would make that olive oilconversation go away.
What about a bigger, bolder milkshake. Sure, there has been hot sauce and ice cream before, but why should the sweet and spicy fun stop there.
More importantly, it could amp up many dishes that use milk but are bland. Why just have pasta when you can have a spicier, creamer sauce. What about those mashed potatoes. The options are many.
Lee Kum Kee says the suggested retail price is $4.39. The very, very limited edition Sriracha Milk is available on April 1. Check www.LKK.com or the brand’s socials for more information.

The giveaway is that there’s nothing more about this on the LKK site. Good ol LKK. Best oyster sauce on the shelf.

[color=rgb(112 159 155/var(--tw-text-opacity))]A RESTAURANT IN [/color]Taiwan is serving a ramen dish topped with a giant isopod. 
The owner of The Ramen Boy restaurant located at the Liaoning Street Night Market in Taipei shared detailed images on Facebook and Instagram of the unique ramen dish.
The owner announced that he has finally obtained the “dream ingredient” to create the “giant isopod with creamy chicken broth ramen,” according to [color=rgb(242 93 39/var(--tw-text-opacity))]Taiwan News
.  He described the species as “very cute” and said he often admired the giant isopods in aquariums while visiting Japan.

The giant isopods, which are deep-sea crustaceans, are carnivorous scavengers that feed on marine organisms that sink to the ocean floor. The solitary creatures reportedly inhabit depths ranging from [color=rgb(242 93 39/var(--tw-text-opacity))]170 to 2,140 meters.

[b]In the social media posts, the restaurant displayed how the dish is made through a series of photos. [/b]
To prepare the ramen dish, the stomach viscera of the creatures caught from Dongsha Island is removed. The remaining meat in the shell is then steamed. According to the restaurant, the isopod’s white meat tastes similar to lobster and crab, while its yellow glands taste like sweet crab paste.
The giant isopod is [color=rgb(242 93 39/var(--tw-text-opacity))]reportedly made
 with Yusuke chicken bouillon soup and the shell of the crustacean is only used for decoration.
The limited ramen dish is priced at 1,480 New Taiwan dollars (approximately $48) and is only available to regular customers.

[font=Helvetica, Arial, Montserrat, Tahoma, STXihei, 华文细黑,]TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — A restaurant in Douliu City, Yunlin County debuted its "Godzilla" ramen featuring crocodile meat as its main ingredient.
Nu Wu Mao Kuei (女巫貓葵) announced on Facebook the launch of its "Godzilla" ramen, which is prepared by steaming or braising the front leg of a crocodile. In a clip, a young female customer samples both flavors and describes the dish as surprisingly delicious.

She says the steamed version of the dish resembles chicken, while the braised meat has a taste similar to pork feet. The soup contains over 40 spices, and the owner reportedly learned how to make the spicy "witch soup" during a trip to Thailand, SETN reported

The crocodiles used for this dish are sourced from a farm in Taitung. The owner was inspired by the giant isopods ramen, which went viral at another restaurant.
The owner has reportedly received private messages from those expressing interest in the dish, but so far, only several bloggers have tried it. Taiwanese actress Ning Chang (張鈞甯) visited the store and complimented their beef noodle, according to the Facebook page.
The dish is priced at NT$1,500 (US$48) per bowl and is exclusively available for dining inside. The restaurant requires online bookings, as the farm provides only about two portions per day.

Do you eat the skin? It seems like that would be tough.

I, and perhaps DM, ate alligator at one of those New Orleans by the Bay shows years ago. It was tasty, and of course sort of like chicken.
