the canteen menu has just come round by e-mail and it includes:

Minced lamb bound with egg and seasoning in a puff pastry case served with a devil sauce!

and, if that wasn't scary enough.....

Roast beef with horseradish and rocket salad!

give other examples of food which scares you!

The Nevada Test Site cafeteria had a bottle of Atomic horseradish on the condiment table.

And they had an automat-style vending machine stocked with "nukables."

At the opposite extreme, the cafe where we eat brunch on Sundays offers "Peace" on the menu. I always want to order it.

The Blueberry Hill Pancake House in Las Vegas serves potatoes with "fresh skin."

I have the Radiation Cookery Book. It's great, it has recipes for raw beef sandwiches and cow's heel jelly.

Brains have gone into liquidation? crap, I've gotta go get some quick.

Ken, any curry which is simply labelled "meat" will be fantastic, possibly the nicest curry I've ever had was labelled "dry meat"

There's a chinese restaurant in Denver called "Ming Hin".

scrapple IS scary

and this reminded me of an article in Wired abt 'extreme candy' sample quotes
"...transforms candy from a snack into an extreme sport, a form of commercially acceptable child masochism."

""Everybody in my class likes Warheads. .........Usually we'll have contests to see how many we can put in our mouth without throwing up. I've eaten five in one hour - after that your tongue gets all these sores on it."

I cannot read this thread title without hearing it in the voice of Brian Fellow.

Or you can pass, and pat yourself on the back for saving yourself from heartburn and the stomach pump

In Sardinia there is an underground market that deals in casu marzu ("rotten cheese"), cheese to which the producers deliberately add maggots, because they produce an enzyme that gives the cheese a...particular taste and texture.

I like to think of myself as openminded, but this is something I could not bring myself to eat.

The "Beef Topping" and "Pork Topping" options at Pizza Hut. *shudder*

― I'm Passing Open Windows (Ms Laura), Wednesday, 29 October 2003 04:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Crabapples.

Bombe alaska.

Poisson (ok thats french but what the hey).

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 29 October 2003 04:34 (twenty-two years ago)

beef topping?!

― the surface noise (electricsound), Wednesday, 29 October 2003 04:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, esoj.

Want to venture a guess as to what it is a euphamism for?

― I'm Passing Open Windows (Ms Laura), Wednesday, 29 October 2003 04:38 (twenty-two years ago)

cheese to which the producers deliberately add maggots

ARRRRRRRRRRRGH

Cheese pervertalism of a sick, sick nature.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 29 October 2003 04:57 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm not sure I want to think about cheese perversions.

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 29 October 2003 05:14 (twenty-two years ago)

four weeks pass...

today our canteen menu includes:

Giant Toad in the Hole!

― MarkH (MarkH), Wednesday, 26 November 2003 11:03 (twenty-two years ago)

I suppose I should be thankful that the emails which come round with the lunch menu don't include pictures of food.

― MarkH (MarkH), Wednesday, 26 November 2003 11:08 (twenty-two years ago)

MarkH, do you happen to work in a biomedical research facility, by any chance?

I'm not sure I want to think about cheese perversions.

I don't know. I hear that innocent-looking mild cheddar gets up to all sorts of "fun" when the refrigerator door is closed, if you know what I'm saying. Ho ho ho, etc.
