Like Lilac Vegetal, but worse

[CzechCzar]

I am curious - I know that all right-thinking people find Lilac Vegetal odious.

BUT

Is there something that coulld be added to it to make it even worse?

OR, alternatively

Something that could be added to it to make it less-unpalatable? Even enjoyable?

Masters had a Lilac Vegetol that was fabulous. I always suspected it might blend with Pinaud and help tame the cat urine. Unfortunately, they no longer are in production.

Stephan's has a lilac AS.

I think it blends alright with citrus, lavender, and wood. Basically anything that isn't disgusting will improve it.

To make it worse, probably pineapple and pine, I suggest fifteen sprays of Armaf CDNIM.

does anyone have any Pashana to try mixing 50/50 with the veg? that sounds horrible, but I have to know how it is.

• The most effective way to neutralize a cat urine smell is with an enzyme cleaner.
• Do not use a steam cleaner or anything with heat on a urine stain.
• Keep the litter box clean & avoid letting cat hair pile up to help mitigate additional foul smells.

There was a post that suggested combining Stephan Lilac with Lustray Blue Spice. Maybe that would help, though Stephan Lilac actually smells good.

There is probably no kitchen in the Philippines (or any Filipino household anywhere in the world for that matter) that does not have patis in its pantry. The ubiquitous taste and aroma of patis is…

The Veg cannot be made worse. Adding it to something else makes that something else smell worse.

I was able to blend the Veg with 5% Bay Rum and 45% Aqua Velva Blue to make LVBRAV, a blend that isn’t great but is tolerable. If you’d like to do something with your Veg other than pour it into the toilet, you might try it.

Stephan Lilac actually smells good.

Agree.

OMG, Phil, you are STILL the funniest man on the forum. Obviously, you spent some time there in the Navy. I married a Filipina 35 years ago (she just went back for a visit, mom-in-law still hanging in there!), and remember this and Bagoong well.

However, all kidding aside, as the founder (I think you are the founder) of the Noble Knights of the Veg Table, I think we must defend our noble scent from this sacrilege. In fact, I think I'll use The Veg tomorrow to placate the scent gods. I may douse myself from the head down after the shower with a half bottle or so.

P.S. Moma came home a couple weeks ago, and since it's hard to source ox tail, she made Kare Kare with beef shin bone (also used for Osso Bucco). Perhaps one of my favorite dishes.

A little forum history ... several years ago, a long-ish, multi-page thread came about with people worrying themselves to death about how to "clean" their shave brushes. Apparently, they had trouble with dried soap at the base of the knot or some such nonsense. I simply rinse my brushes thoroughly and have never had this problem, but it was a very vigorously debated thread (as many are around here) with an amazing array of arcane solutions to this problem (also common in this forum, the more arcane, the better, it seems).

Along comes Phil who rather flippantly tosses this out there several pages into the circus (I'm paraphrasing) ...

I wash my shave brushes once a day. With shave soap.

I think the thread died a natural death a post or two later, but I almost snorted coffee out my nose.

And he does this all the time. The man is brilliant.

I don't think we live near each other, Phil, but when I see threads about "If you could meet one person in history, who would it be?" I think I'd answer, "I'd love to have a martini or two with Phil. Maybe three if I wasn't driving."

I love the Veg, but if you added Tabac to the Veg it could be awful. Don't ask me how I know

My wife is Filipina, I met her after I retired and was traveling in Asia a lot for an Engineering Company. A friend of mine is married to a Filipina and lives there, and his wife introduced us.
The first time I ever went to the Philippines was 1975 during Marcos.
I spent some times in various South East and South West Asia locations that smelled so bad, Lilac Vegetal would have been a Godsend.

@luvmysuper Well, if the wife cooks, ask her to make you some Kare Kare with beef shin meat (Costco carries it). One of my favorite dishes ever, and I like some pretty fancy international fare. It can get pretty interesting (some versions with offal, of course), but the one my wife makes with beef shin, baby bok choy, asian eggplant, is fantastic.

I still laugh when I remember your post in that brush cleaning thread.

I lived there 1987 through 1988, moved to Okinawa where my daughter was born in a Naval hospital in 1989. We got married in San Fernando Cathedral in La Union.

Between the Veg and an open septic tank, I'll take the open septic tank.

Balut?

 

[luvmysuper]

Balut?

I've had it. It's not bad actually. Once you get past the smell, you've got it licked!
Balut - Eggs with legs!

The smell!

I met one of my guys out in town one night.
His intention was to impress me with something tasty.
He wasn't really close to me when he cracked the shell.
The smell!
and also, that duck had feathers! ,
which I don't know how to evaluate in terms of grading balut.

But, I couldn't get past the smell.
He was disappointed.

There's a risk of making it smell better ... Years ago I tried: Had a big bottle of Veg. Tried mixing it with others ...
