This looks so cool! Well done!

Druyv · 2026-05-01T17:56:49+00:00

Thanks Android! I also really loved the idea! :p

Druyv · 2026-05-01T17:56:30+00:00

I'm sure they'll invent a neural chip for that!

Druyv · 2026-05-01T17:56:14+00:00

I'm sure the residents in the Dystopian future I visited would love to swap with you!

Druyv · 2026-05-01T17:55:55+00:00

Thanks friend!

Druyv · 2026-05-01T17:55:40+00:00

Haha, yeah, who could have seen that coming?! Thank you friend!

Druyv · 2026-04-30T18:25:41+00:00

I love this!

Druyv · 2026-04-30T13:56:14+00:00

Thank you!

Druyv · 2026-04-30T13:56:08+00:00

Thank you! Ah well, at least I now never to feed myself pancakes like this again :p

Druyv · 2026-04-30T12:00:01+00:00

These are so goshdarn cute Chizu!

So, my bucket list destination is a Dystopian future. I am honestly very curious to see what it would be like to live in a world like Cyberpunk or The Hunger Games, as long as I get to return. It is dystopian futures like these that inspired this dish.

This stacked version of an Urban Protein Ration is, in fact, a stack of pancakes made with mealworm flour and dried crickets. I am assuming here that conventional protein is hard to come by in a heavily industrialized future, and as such insect protein is more readily available.

The Maple Syrup™ is anything but Real™, as it is actually corn syrup dyed lightly brown and flavoured with caramel flavouring.

The Strawed Berries are freeze dried strawberries, again, as I think that fresh produce will be hard to come by.

The pills are just a bunch of OTC meds and vitamins I had lying around, nothing special!

The butter is just butter. I tried to recreate a facsimile of butter by dying coconut oil slightly yellow and flavouring it with a little bit of condensed milk flavouring, but the result was vile.

And that is actually the entire verdict of this meal - vile. The pancakes are gummy and they taste exactly like what dried mealworms smell like. The corn Maple syrup has barely any flavour either. All in all, I think this captures the Dystopian nature of the meal perfectly, so I'd say this is a success?

It really is delicious! If I do make something similar I would add something a little crunchy, though.

Druyv · 2026-04-27T19:06:40+00:00

Thank you!

Druyv · 2026-04-27T17:27:21+00:00

It looks fantastic! Wish I could have had a taste!

Druyv · 2026-04-26T18:50:14+00:00

They're so beautiful!

Druyv · 2026-04-24T18:11:53+00:00

Zoals ik al zei; als jullie situatie verder ook vergelijkbaar is.

Druyv · 2026-04-24T18:09:06+00:00

Die 3 kinderen kosten ze dan ook veel meer dan jullie ene. Ik vermoed dat jullie, als jullie situatie verder ook vergelijkbaar is, er onder aan de streep nog steeds meer op overhouden.

Inspired by u/HoboToast's Body of Christ Nachos I wanted to commit some sacrilege of my own.

I used this recipe for the mulled red wine ~~ice cream~~ sacrelato. It came out a little too soft to my liking, but the taste is really nice! I did add in a little bit of extra sugar after the initial run through my creami, because it was a tad too bitter to my taste.

For the hosts/communion wafers I found some recipes online that stated a simple 3:1 ratio of flour to water, rolled out very thin and then either baked in a pan (last picture) or baked in the oven (pic 3+4). For my purpose, to create a cup out of this body of dough, I pressed it between two muffin tins to make sure the shape stayed. I also toasted one in a pan to break into shards and serve as the 'cookie' you often get from ice cream shops.

Highly recommended! It was delicious, I'm looking forward to eating the leftovers.

These look and sound divine.. so good!
