Note to self:

Self, don't eat Russian desserts.

Spiced vodka I don't like either.

And now for our regularly scheduled musical intermission.

Intermission over, back to monkey eating!

This is, supposedly, the actual prop used in the second Indiana Jones movie.

Here's looking at you, Glauber.

In short: halvo flour, halva concrete.

PS: wow, we can actually post cyrillic here? That's for the real private jokes...
Awwww. I bet I had some people worried.

Naaahh. You know how when you're reading a book and there's a character's name that you can't pronounce so you just kind of bleep over it? I just did that with your whole post. No problem!

Baloot or Balute

While in the Phillipines I heard about this "delicacy" and that is as far as I cared to take it.

I am a bit disappointed to not find a picture here, but hopfully the description will present an adequately vivid mental image for you to enjoy:

Here is a picture I found at one site:

One site indicated that Baloot was one challenge they presented.

Steven, that was just icky. Gag. Blecch.

If that doesn't make one want to become a vegetarian...

Bloomfield · Post by **Bloomfield** » Fri Nov 07, 2003 1:29 pm

Have a veggie burger, dear.

Boca Burger. Making meat lovers sallivate and vegetarians celebrate.

Post by **Nanohedron** » Fri Nov 07, 2003 1:33 pm

I could've sworn that was a slice of grilled fruitcake.

The only veggie burger that even deserves to be possibly called a burger is Morningstar.

Thanks Bloomy-Pie! A good veggie burger is always a welcome thing!

And hard to come by, unfortunately. That thing in the picture really looks like grilled fruitcake. Many V-burgers are pretty awful or at best bland. *sigh.

I like Gardenburgers best, then Boca comes in at second place. Pretty tasty, and they don't look like grilled fruitcake...another plus!
