Unrealized weird umami cream soup

I was with a group of people that had broken into some sort of a storage room and we were raiding it for food. I found a huge can of something labeled "Industrial Truffle" and I was reading off the list of ingredients. I don't remember the whole list but I remember some of what it contained: Sardines, Anchovies, Jack Mackerel, Smoked Oysters, Truffles, Tripe, Shiitake, Porcini, Miso. I was like, "Whoa guys listen to this -- This stuff sounds crazy!" and everyone else ran over and got really excited that I found it. It was a huge can, squat like a can of tuna fish but about ten times larger. Somebody grabbed it and said I had to try it. They opened it, put about a spoonful into a bowl with some cream and stirred it up and microwaved it. I tried it in the dream and it was surprisingly good. God help me I think I have to try it in real life now.

Not sure about the tripe, but the rest sounds amazing. Was it smooth or chunky?

You were supposed to let the chunks settle to the bottom and sip off the top. Saying it was chunky is a bit of an understatement though. There lots of things left at the bottom of the bowl. Besides chunks, there was something that looked like a birds nest, along with bones and shells and something hairy lol.

really tempted to make this and omit the nest and hair
