hahaha..i’d hate to end with a squirt of balsamic dressing on my dress, or worse, on my face! so that’s what they do with pipettes nowadays!

OK I get it.!

You have to hold the pipette in a way that the pointed end is up and the blob is on the lower end such that as you slowly slide the ball off the pipette, with your teeth biting into your aperitif, gently squeeze the pipette, slowly releasing the dressing into the ball of whatever. Hopefully the liquid does not squirt on your face in the process, but that is the fun part of it….. your fine motor skills needed! Let’s see Paris HIlton or KIm Kardashian do it.

You are something else, bettyq!

First…better be in beach attire when you eat this…just kidding! just like eating something on a toothpick, say a melon ball…as your take a bite of it, gently squeeze the plastic blob…we are not talking a turkey baster, doc!…sorry…can’t help it!

Ok…but maybe if this was served to a socialite…prim and proper, she probably would slide the prosciutto wrapped melon ball with a fork and squeeze a drop of the tamarind balsamic vinegar over it….but that’s not fun!

bettyQ: Still not getting it. How do you get the shot of balsamic vinegar out of the pipette? Do you need a rubber bulb to blow out the vinegar or blow it out with your mouth? rather uncouth I would say and I’d be confused which to do first, blow the vinegar into the pica pica or get the pica pica into my mouth?

MM…you can make both savoury and sweet pica pica using PLASTIC pipette (dropper) …fruits threaded into pipette and a shot of sweetened dressing in the blob….purple and white malagkit balls with mango balls and coconut creme anglaise in the blob…

it always draws ooooohs and ahhhhhs whenever I use pipette as a vessel for pica pica.

OK, doc….mwhahahahah a….very funny! Anyway, it is tamarind balsamic VINEGAR …..If Footloose or Silly Lolo saw that comment, I can only imagine what they were going to say! Yes, it is truly a fun way of eating the appy…plastic graduated sizes available on e- bay if you are not near a lab equipment supplier.

bettyQ: the pipettes I know from chemistry class are either made of glass or plastic. How do you squeeze the tamarind out of the pipette? or do you blow it / shake it out? play with it with the pica pica? some fun production I imagine…..just wondering.
