What did it drink like? Summer Shandy drank like a cold crisp refreshing lemonade mixed with beer. It is not overly sweet as you might expect, in fact it was surprisingly less-sweet and tasty. You can tell you are drinking a beer just by pouring it into your mouth. Make no mistake, this is not your fairy friend’s hard lemonade. Summer Shandy is beer. Unlike fruity malternative beverages, Summer Shandy will not give you heart burn nor will feel as though a mild to potent acid is passing through your internals. An average human could put back a dozen Summer Shandy’s and feel terrific.

What is a the buzz like? Smooth, clarity, refreshing. Summer Shandy breathes new life into the dead and resuscitates the mind.

Did you receive a hangover? No.

Whats not to like? If you are a man, you may feel as though you are drinking a girly drink. Make no mistake, it is a fruity tasting beverage. That said, you are at least drinking a beer, not a malt beverage or a glass of white wine.

How was the finish? Crisp, clear. Rejuvenation.

What type of event would Summer Shandy be a good fit for? Any event outside on a day with temperatures above 80 degrees sunny to partly cloudy with a less than 60% chance of rain.

How did the can feel in your hand? Good. The standard aluminum can is put to work here. The can itself has a tasteful design.

Does it come in bottle format? Yes. Summer Shandy’s come in bottles. The bottles utilize a brown glass. At time of print, whether the glass was hand blown or not could not be determined.

If you were stranded on an island for an extended period of time, would you pack a few in your cooler? Yes. Summer Shandy’s would be fitting for island stranding.

Would you recommend this to a woman? Absolutely, the female mouth would delight in the tastiness. Even non-fans of beers would luxuriate in Summer Shandy’s ability to refresh the human body.

One of our researchers also notes that “mayo has an incredibly high level of vitamins” which may, or may not be true. But hey, we still got to spread it all over this intern’s face to see what happened!

Now, back to the recipe stuff. We all know how difficult it can be to whip up your own mayo. Sometimes its too creamy, sometimes its too curdled, and sometimes it just flies all over the room and sticks to the walls and stuff. Nasty. Just, nasty. We found a guide, however, to make the task easier. Spoiler alert: They use a hand blender.

This article really breaks it down.. here’s the VIDEO FOOTAGE of this hot action.

Now, go on, make some mayo.

Technically that shit is dead but damn it does have some slick moves. Researchers say the salty soy sauce stuff is making the squid muscles FREAK THE SHIT OUT, even though the top of its head was already cut off.
Better than eating cats at least.

This one’s borrowed from The Nasty Bits: Deep-Frying Brains. Its horrid and vomit inducing just reading about it. This unfathomably terrible recipe serves 6 as an appetizer, IT takes about active time 40 minutes from raw brain to fresh vomit.

All 4 testers in the foodenation lab broke down in tears after uncontrollably  projectile vomiting all over the test kitchen after the first bite of brain – so its really difficult to judge the eat-ability here. Our mind crunching conclusion is at the end. I think it’s safe to say that no fist pumps will be awarded – the events that occurred after this cook were, to say the least.. abnormal.

Here’s what you need:

• 1 head of garlic, skin on
• Black peppercorns in a cheesecloth
• 1 bay leaf
• bundle of fresh herbs
• 1 pound brains (lamb, pork, or calf)
• All purpose flour
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 cup panko bread crumbs
• 1 quart vegetable oil for deep-frying
• For the green sauce:
• 1 bunch parsely, leaves only
• 1/2 bunch dill
• 1 small can of anchovy fillets, finely chopped
• 12 cloves of garlic, finely minced or grated
• 1 tablespoon capers, minced
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, or to taste
• Freshly ground black pepper

Here’s what you do:

1. Bring a 2 quart pot of water to simmer and add in the garlic, peppercorns, and herbs. Simmer for 15 minutes. Then gently lower the brains into the pot and simmer for 6 minutes. Remove the brains with a slotted spoon and let cool. When the brains are cold and firm, separate the lobes into 2 inch chunks.
2. Meanwhile, prepare 3 bowls with the flour, the egg whisked with milk, and the breadcrumbs.
3. Heat the oil to 350°F. Roll each brain segment in flour, then coat it in the egg mix, then coat it in the breadcrumbs. Deep-fry the brain until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels and serve immediately with green sauce.
4. To make green sauce: Finely chop herbs and mix with the anchovies, garlic, and capers. Add enough olive oil so that the mixture is spoonable but not runny. Season with black pepper.

Conclusion:

There’s something carnal and terrible about eating a brain. Maybe its my 3 years of studying forbidden zombillo-humanus culture in eastern Europe, or perhaps it was that Indiana Jones movie where they ate the monkey brains. I dunno man, but shit, nothing has ever created such a reaction in the test kitchen here. We have literally burned the place to the ground after the riots subsided. The wrenching in our test-subjects’ bellies tore through their bodies after a day or so – horribly disfiguring them – and shockingly.. prompted them to eat MORE brains. Something went wrong in that lab. Very wrong. Never cook brains. Never talk about cooking brains. But if you do.. make someone else try them, and have a baseball bat handy. You are gonna need it..
