Unfertilised egg McMuffin, facehugger nuggets and a black goo McFlurry (To go!)
David has sure picked up an appetite since his porridge during Prometheus' flight.
How would you cook with black goo and other Engineer items?

Gently beat the alien eggs together in a mixing bowl quickly before the bowel is completely eroded by the acid and season with salt and pepper. Heat the butter in a frying pan until foaming. Pour in the alien eggs and cook for a few seconds, until the bottom of the omelette is lightly set. Push the set parts of the omelette into the uncooked centre of the omelette. Cook again, until the omelette has set further, then push those set parts into the centre of the omelette again. Repeat the process until the eggs have just set but the omelette is still soft in the centre.
Put cheese and three-quarters of facehugger ham in the centre of the omelette and cook until the cheese has melted hopefully before the acid melts the pan. Increase the heat to high and cook the omelette for a further 30 seconds, or until it browns on the bottom or the pan falls apart from being constantly attacked by the alien blood.
Fold the omelette in half, then remove the disintegrating pan from the heat and tilt it slightly to move the omelette to the edge of the pan. Slide the omelette onto a serving plate, then shape it into a neat roll. Sprinkle over the remaining facehugger ham and drizzle over a sliver of black goo. Ya know, cause a little goes a long way ;). And viola, you have an alien dish of beaten organic material fused with corroded metal. Just what every space trucker needs to set him up for the day. Delicious!
Too funny! 👍
shareYou should have used a rubber frying pan Dallas!
Everybody knows acid doesn't react with rubber.
Also are you sure your eggs were unfertilised?
The way I cook eggs they'll be rubbery enough without adding more to the mix 😂
shareI was in China back in January this year and got some chicken at a restaurant. The manager came over and asked me how it was and I said it was "Rubbery".
He said "Thanks very much, I'll pass your compliment to the chef".
Thank you I'll be here all week, try the sausages - Hep E. in them apparently!
I knew from the title of this thread that it would be yours! 😂😂😂
shareTerryGG has been saying that the black goo (And now eggs and mini facehuggers) are Engineer food and so I thought it was worth exploring.
Been a goldmine so far ;D
I came across him on the General discussion board,he said he was being abused on the Alien Boards! Sounds like a job for me....ah no maybe not.
So if you cross an egg and a mini facehugger do you get a mini egg?
From my understanding the eggs are already mini and so is the facehugger - that's why I thought breakfast.
I've still to see the film myself, so I'm only going from people's discussion of it here.
TerryGG and Dallas had a back and forth here somewhere, I got pulled in for a bit and Terry didn't seem to like me too much and so I left him alone because perhaps the movie is amazing? [giveup]
Perhaps it is,perhaps.
I'm being realistic though. Although Prometheus wasn't by any stretch the worst film ever made IMO (it's just my opinion!) it was flawed.
This one will look fantastic and have moments of genius I'm sure...and a good soundtrack.The rest we willl have to wait and see.
I didn't really read his theory but I guessed terry was just pulling your leg,wasn't he?
From my relatively recent experience of Ridley Scott 'fans' Dazed I'd say there's no real way of telling if someone is yanking my chain or being pan-faced serious about things. Scary when the latter and more funny when the former.
Either way, at least they've seen it. Who am I to tell them they can't move that rubber tree plant? [giveup]
Unless there is something in the film to suggest that it is food?
I doubt it though.There wasn't anything in Prometheus to suggest that and in fact the sacrificial engineer ate some and it didn't end well for him so...
I've never really been someone who looks for hidden meanings in films but I'm usually quite happy to indulge those who see stuff I don't.As long as they aren't an arse about it....
According to what I read of Terry's theory, the Engineer chap at the beginning didn't know that goop he drank would be bad for him and when his shipmates saw what was happening they did a B-1.
You are quite right though, there may be additional information in this new movie which will state that it is food and I should hold off from any prejudice assumptions I may have until I've actually seen the film.
They really should have had a treacle option as a topping for this release [popcorn]
He was not, no. He's repeated it more than once and will start calling you names if you don't agree with him. This "abuse" he gets is called other people's opinions. And he will throw a bitch fit if you dare present him with facts he doesn't agree with. At first you think he might be joking around, and then he starts reporting people for calling his theory stupid.
Guys a dumb fuck who can't take what he dishes out. And so his only cone back is, "I'm going to report you".
Yes I've seen some of this behaviour on the general discussion board.I'm afraid he's not gathering himself too much support there either."This board is boring" is his latest OP,makes me wonder if he's a kid.
The whole "bizarre theory" position seems to go hand in hand with the belief that if you don't see it their way you are stupid.
Abuse of the report button was and is one of the biggest message board annoyances.
However I believe that posts which are reported are actually reviewed by human mods here so they'll hopefully put a stop to his nonsense.
I must go and read his theory for myself now!
Its on the prometheus board. Title "I figured out what the black goo is". Thats the first time he mentioned it I believe. Hes implied that he know the site owner or head admin. Whether thats true or not, I guess Ill find out soon since this will be his third or 4th time reporting me for calling him a dumb fuck lol.
The funniest thing is, I saw him talking about having or making his owm message board where trolls would be severely dealt with lol. Some people just cant accept that others have differing opinions, and this guy is the poster child.
Wait just a moment there Dallas...
...An abusive poster...
...who knows "Higher ups" on these message boards...
...and believes nonsensical ideas which hold no bearing with what's presented...
...do they happen to "KNOW LAWYERS"?
He said as name, john or something I dont remember I was too busy laughing at "embryos and eggs are the same thing". Followed straight away with some bog standard pseudo intellect over used internet comeback.
But yeah, I told the mod that did contact me about it to fuck off, he can ban me if he likes. "theres nothing he can say that warrants that kind of harassment" being called a dumb fuck when youre being a dumb fuck now constitutes harassment apparently lol.
Then howdy stranger!
I'm guessing we've drank in the same salon at some point in the past ;)
lol no doubt.
shareThree syllables...nakedgirl?
shareNope, you lost me. lol
sharenakedgirl was AJ apparently.
shareDid we ever get an admission of that?
The only ones who I know who changed accounts and names were yourself, Senieka, IWYD, Spanners and myself and that's all by us saying so.
I'm sure there were plenty of socks but we'd need Beja's ability to take apart syntax structure to have a decent crack at others I reckon.
Well it was Beja who worked it out! She had a lot of board members on her friends list and kept tabs that way too.
Anyway I know he had another account which he used for joshing around like Larry Plinkett and then Angry Jane,I don't know what happened to them though.James would often wipe his whole history (usually when painted into a corner).
Not sure about nakedgirl,I didn't find it funny.
I wasn't a nakedgirl fan either but on the very odd occasion there would be some awesome non sequiturs which made all the other boring ones worthwhile.
I remember the Larry Plinkett one as that was based on a character from a game I played in the late 80's. I always figured that was galahadfairlight as they were pretty clued up on the scene from around then.
I never once thought my deletions would have favoured me in an IMDb shut down of the boards - I posted some absolute rubbish there on occasion and deleted for the whole 'Attack the argument not the person' reasons.
These boards seem amazing, a friends list would be nice but not essential and the emotes (If possible, or new ones if not) would make it perfect..
I'm happy, still belching media I've consumed since the shut down - harder to digest without a place to talk about it all afterwards.
I've more or less stopped watching tv ,I need something new to really engage me.
I tried the Tom Hardy thing but I was actually bored.
Mr.Dazed is still ploughing through Voyager and DS9.
I've decided Reg is my favourite character now (TNG right?) BTW.
I'm just rewatching my DVDs now and listening to The Lord of the Rings on audio book.
I need some inspiration, but am fed up with crime, hospital, affair type stuff I may even be tired of supernatural shows!
What have you been watching? Any recommendations?
Reg Barclay over Trip?
C'mon Dazed, Reg is awesome but we all know Trip is the mutt's nuts!
Goodness, what have I been watching...mixed is all I can say.
Top of the Lake was pretty decent, a second season is coming out later this year apparently so there's that.
Big Little Lies is awesome (And you like music so moreso!) but is a sophisticated blend of the banal - worth it because it shows how to make it properly.
Better Call Saul has some amazing visuals, pace and acting to it - not a runaway excitement fest but certainly building up nicely.
I'm waiting for Fargo to finish so I can binge watch it, I've stayed away from it - didn't even know it was out - but a guy I know always wants to talk about it and so it seems to be as good as the last two series which I loved.
Preacher was superb, can't recommend it enough. Comic book stuff but not for kids and not needlessly adult either - just good old fun with the supernatural thrown in for an edge.
American Gods is ongoing and, whilst I enjoyed the book to a decent degree, I'm not sure it's for me.
Besides that there's been Masterchef UK (Oh, have I got words to say about that should anyone come here to talk about it!), Doctor Who and Gotham - which is stupid silly fun which knows it is for fans of Batman lore but perhaps just silly for those who don't.
Besides that, movies, lots and lots of movies.
I don't know if any of my recommendations will work out but I'd say Big Little Lies was a very pleasant surprise and I'm hoping for more from it.
I did watch the first episode of Preacher and I really liked it,but I had to watch it on my kindle as I got it through Amazon and the quality was intolerable.My eyes and eats pricked up when the vampire guy kicked off on the plane!
I haven't watched any of the latest season of Dr.Who,but Mr.Dazed tells me that the recent episode was rather good.
Ah Masterchef! Bring back Lloyd Grossman.Is it still Greg Cockernee and John Australian presenting?
I think we'll rewatch Enterprise soon,I read that had the series continued Tripp would have survived?
Reg is my new hero because he has holodeck addiction and made contact with Voyager,I almost cried.
I'd say Preacher is a binger if you can. It's second series will be out later this year (Or early next) and having read all the comics way back when I think you'll enjoy where it is going.
The recent Doctor Who stuff is great, but it's the final series for both Capaldi and Moffat and so I'm not sure it'll stay great - I'm hoping to be wrong though!
Yup, it's still Greg "Throw a dessert in front of me and pass" Cockerknee and John "Steal your ideas for myself" Aussie hosting it. Great contestants this year, I'm just not sure the winner was the best cook for the prize overall.
In sci-fi anyone can survive should there be demand for it. Reg is great but he's still no Trip. I like to think that Reg has a tiny bit of that megamind he got from that episode in TNG and that's what gives him his edge. He's always been a holodeck addict and that's a good thing to explore pre Internet becoming as popular as it is now.
Still, Voyager...[rolleyes]
....and we're back!
How long did you think it would take for an accusation to get chucked out Dazed? XD
share😀 Weird that he's called John though?
I would much rather see JF turn up than FLD,I sincerely hope I never see that dude again.
We need to know what he (spanners! Yes you heard me right I said spanners) thinks of A:C.
I don't think Spanners will keep us in the dark for too long on his opinion of the film.
I'm sure he's still smarting from the old boards but knowing his inner workings I think redemption or doubling down will be his next play.
Either way, we're starting to look roughly in the same shape as the early days of post Prometheus release (They didn't have the formatting options in button form then either).
[deleted]
😨
So,you probably know this but you can copy and paste emotes.🤷
I just did that on your advice, it works!
If a list of them could be put into the formatting help page it would be easy to find the one one'd need and paste it into their posts.
A little bit of a hovertext on mouseover saying what the emote is representative of would help regular PC users like myself but with so many people using their phones directly these days it might be more work than it is worth.
That all said, I could build a repository of here or somewhere else on the site and people could grab what they need if they're in situations like mine.
Just need a list of all the emotes and what people think they mean.
Do it!
Perhaps ask on the gen discussion board what folk want.
I miss [hairrise]
[laugh] and of course [giveup]
I briefly looked if the classic ones are available but I didn't see them,they must be there somewhere.
The older archived threads seem to still use them so there much be a way...[hmm]
I'll give general discussion a go like you said, it seems busier there and they'll likely know all the tricks of the site there.
Your behavior is the exact kind of behavior that factored into Col Needham's reasons for disabling the message boards. You run off everyone else but your kind. Unfortunately, your kind isn't likeable.
shareYou're picking fights all over town matey.
That's your problem not mine.
You mean for profit so they could let everyone just use Facebook and not have to deal with the expense of running a forum and having to moderate it?
shareThe black goo isn't food remember? It's a biological weapon. lol
shareI don't know what it is - the film never got around to concluding anything and I don't count pamphlets after the fact as useful to anyone.
shareIt appears that you don't really know much at all. You don't even have an explanation for anything in this movie. You just sit here and troll others. Reported.
shareLikewise - you're the first person I've ever reported on any site.
Perhaps next time don't state your intentions to report and just do so.
Needless reporting is what shut down IMDb according to their official statement and I don't want to see that happen again.
I tried being friendly with you Terry, I've given you the benefit of the doubt despite the glaring obviousness that you are simply either a troll or are unfit for communication with others.
Good luck to you!
So you reported me because I reported you making fun of me on here. That's not very friendly.
shareYou called me a troll and then said you were reporting me.
Seems pretty trollish of you to attempt that.
Whilst I reply you then call me a jerk elsewhere!
Sure thing, you've been trying to wind people up everywhere and I just can't be bothered with you.
I told you where the ignore button is (On the right under this post) - use it or I'll report you more for harassing me.
You'll learn or you won't - that's life.
I always thought that there were many different types of goo.
Some of it was greenish,some was almost mobile,some was oily.Maybe they had different functions?
Great idea Houdini.
Why only unfertilised egg? You can very well cook a fertilised egg. Have you seen balut egg in Southeast Asia?
David can do a facehugger balut egg: tie the egg tightly and boil it. The egg wouldn't open during the boiling (thanks to the tying), so, don't have to worry about acid leak. Boil it longgggg enough... who know how long those facehuggers can resist in hot water. Then, when it's finished, peel the "shell" away, thoroughly smash the creature inside (if it's still alive), then eat the smashed pieces with soy sauce and ginger. Yum yum.
I think facehugger will also be great in deep fry. You know, like deep fried spiders and crabs in some countries: the more legs it got, the better it tastes in deep fry.
The black goo, I think it goes perfectly as sauce to spaghetti. Have you tried squid-ink spaghetti in Italy? It doesn't look that much different from the black goo. Add in some garlic and herbs, I'm sure it's a killer (both figuratively and literally).
I'd need some tips on how to cook molecular acid properly but your menu sounds great!
Could even use Cuddle's tentacles in the spaghetti - waste not, want not!
Right, Cuddle's tentacles, why not.
Either add them to the spaghetti, or sun-dry them and make them excellent chewy finger-food for aperitif.
This thread is more fun than the movie itself...
