WORLD CUISINE UPDATE

Maybe the bakers of this bread should export their wares to this restaurant.

(Thanks to Siouxie for the mouse item and many people for the rat item)

What's that? Basil and Sweet black plague sauce?

The bread link doesn't work...

[Bãrön vønKlýff]

Rats, Reynolds Wrapped foiled again!

[queensbee]

[Siouxie]

Ho-la!! Ju wan flies wis dat??

[Circuit7]

Closing line... they depend on tourist droppings???

Yikes...

[crossgirl]

my dog dragged a possum home saturday, i wonder how many that would feed.

[Siouxie *throwing up in my mouth a bit*]

"Most people who come in here at first have a psychological barrier, but once they take a bite, they don't mind."

psychological barrier???

Question: tastes like chicken??

[Siouxie *throwing up in my mouth a bit*]

Mouse bread link

[BillyJoeJimBob]

"But these sugarcane-fattened farm rats are simply delicious."

And how am I supposed to know that the rats aren't the ones we associate rodents with filth and germs? Are these certified organic, free-range rats?

[Circuit7]

Siouxie: Sorry I mentioned it *Retch*

...be right back...

[Eleanor]

"This bread" is TypePad, and if they don't know me by now, I'm taking umbrage and not signing in.

So there.

[Siouxie *throwing up in my mouth a bit*]

El, don't take Annie's umbrage again. She's sick.

The link it not working so I posted it up ^ there. Blame Circuit for asking for it ;-)

[Siouxie *throwing up in my mouth a bit*]

Um...nevermind. It's all feexed now.

[Meanie the Blue]

So, a health inspector walks into one of these places ... and does, um, what?

[Steve Haller]

I read "the mouse item" and "the rat item" and like a fool I clicked on the link anyway...

[daisymae]

Re: rat in bread.

Isn't that what sifting is for?

[Siouxie]

Meanie - sits down to eat???

How's this for an appetizing visual:

Both display hairless rat carcasses in their kitchen windows before chopping off the heads and throwing the pint-sized bodies and tails into pots with basil and sweet, black sauce.

Anyone wanna know what's in the black sauce??

Me either.

[Desk "Three Fingers" Diva]

Dave couldn't have sandwiched this in the middle of the blogapalooza and left us with something that might leave a better taste in our mouths - like beer?

[Wench Lizzy]

If I were offered rat to eat, it would probably be the one rare occasion that I would prefer to order the tofu instead. And that's saying a lot.

[The Dread Pirate Chris]

What's the big deal? My wife uses high-protien flour to make bread. Well, there's no bones or fur, but still...

[Phil]

This is nothing. In Thailand, street vendors sell "rat on a stick" to passersby. One hopes these rats aren't the ones that eat the street-elephant droppings.

[DeskDiva]

*crosses Taiwan off list of places to visit*

[9]

It doesn't matter what they eat. You think that lobster, crab and catfish are dining on filet every night? And chickens will happily eat bugs if you let them.

[Siouxie]

Phil, I saw a preview for this "food" show the other day and they had those sticks with all kinds of critters. Some of the stuff they showed was truly revolting and barf-inducing. I can't remember the name now. The host actually eats the stuff.

[oneblankspace]

So far, no one has commented on the name of the town in the mouse story.

[Meanie the Blue]

*Opens up a can of delicious, healthy Sp@m*

[Siouxie]

one, that's because we are WAY mature and sofis sophys not gross.

*snork*

[DeskDiva]

Is that "No Reservations" with Anthony Bourdain?

[SW]

Somebody slipped Hana Korinkova a Mickey.

[SW]

...and then she said "Czech, please!"

[DeskDiva]

Or maybe it's "Bizarre Foods." They're both on the Travel Channel.

[insomniac]

it's the year of the rat, betcha want some for your dinner
(ho-la, ho-la, we'll serve you rat!)
we're cheaper than Red Lobster, malted rat shake is a winner!
(ho-la, ho-la, we'll serve you rat!)
and, we hope you will remember
we've been plague-free since november!

it's no use denying some folks will start to weep, ill
(ho-la, ho-la, we'll serve you rat!)
'specially when they learn that our soylent green ain't people!
(ho-la, ho-la, we'll serve you rat!)

though you're think that we're disgustin'
we're one place with rats, the health docs aren't bustin'

[Siouxie]

*snork* @ Stevie!

I believe it's Bizarre Foods. The stuff was so gross I blocked it out of my brain.

[DeskDiva]

Uh huh. *RETCH*

[James Cagney]

Why you dirty rat...

[Siouxie]

insom, I can't place the song. Must be all the brain bleach.

[Meanie the Blue]

C'mon, Sioux, you can do it .......

*SqueakSnork!*@ Insom.

[Just Ducky]

*flaps back in for a moment*

*applauds insom after rinsing mouth w/beer from previous thread*

We're going waaaayyy back with songs today, aren't we?

*waits patiently at geezer bus stop*

[Siouxie]

Nope, Meanie. Not a clue. Brain clog.

[Meanie the Blue]

This + this, Sioux.

[pogo]

9 - the bug eatin' chickens are called "free range". It's the factory-farm raised chickens that don't get any bugs.

[Meanie the Blue]

This + this, Sioux. [Take two]

[Siouxie]

LMAO Meanie...wouldn't you know it?? Our office firewall is blocking those?? IT NEVER BLOCKS ANYTHING!!!

[Meanie the Blue]

This + this, Sioux. [LAST time!]

[Siouxie]

LMAO got it!! thanks!!

DUH!!!

[Siouxie]

For some reason I kept trying to "hum" Al Stewart's The Year of the Cat.

[Wes S.]

OK, refresh my memory: Wasn't there a post on The Blog a couple of weeks ago featuring some dimwit celebrity advocating making rats' milk available for human consumption?

This is just the next step...

[CJrun]

I knew I was too LTTG and, sho nuff, SW stole my line...rat bastid!

[SW]

Lol, cj. Seek the rodent less-traveled.

[Eleanor]

Siouxie, I'm sick too, so that's why I needed some umbrage. I'm sure you can understand.

[Siouxie]

*puts on her HazMat outfit*

(((((((((((El))))))))))))

[Wes S.]

...Oh yes, here we go: It was Heather Mills, the one-legged gold digger, who was talking about serving humans rats' milk.

So let's give her a couple of coupons to that Taiwanese restaurant. Not only is the fare presumably to her liking, but she could probably use the charity since she's now suing her divorce lawyers for malpractice in failing to get her enough of Paul McCartney's estate to live on...

[Eleanor]

She is such a piece of work. I feel bad for Paul that he was taken in by her.

[SpamLamb]

Spam is delicious, nutritious, and will make you fly, Meanie. Also 73% of people find Spam-eaters sexier than non-eaters. This message brought to you by PETER, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Edible Rodents.

I hope that gold digger Heather doesn't get a dime out of Paul.

[a different dave]

Was the bread a giant Pretzel perhaps? You know, some people like a little hot mouse-turd on thier pretzel.
