Just in time for lunch

Hrm, I thought Nashveggie was just being quiet lately, but it seems something went awry with my RSS feed. So I had to catch up on several weeks of entries, including this one that links to an amusing cracked.com post about some icky ingredients in common foods. You might want to check out the post NV links to before you eat that next handful of jelly beans. Or maybe not.

Also on cracked.com was this lovely and informative post on some rather objectionable foods (whether you eat critters or not) that for some reason or another reminded me of Claudia. I’d heard of some of these, but the casu marzu really threw me for a loop. I’m all for these industrious types eating what they can and efficiently consuming all parts of an animal (if it has to die), but there ain’t no reason to ruin a perfectly good chunk of cheese like that.

ps–thanks to Nashveggie for letting me know that the Veggie Cafe is now officially open. I don’t have to ask SistaSmiff to do the recon on that for me after all.

Name the time and I’ll pretend to be a hip, cool vegetarian.

Alton Brown did a short piece on Lutefisk in his Feasting on Asphalt series and gave several US sources if you need them.

Also the sheep thing from Iraq, I have an Uncle who worked for a large Oil Company in the Middle East for years and what they don’t tell you about this dish is that the guest of honor gets the eyes and it is a really big deal. A deal breaking, really big deal. He ate this more than once and scarred us with the stories and photos. It’s all true.

A big deal is made in the article over the fact that Lutefisk is made by soaking the fish in lye. Of course, hominy is made by soaking corn in lye. I don’t think the lye thing is too much a big deal, however it is a fish soaked in lye so nevermind.

I used to work with someone who was Norwegian and he would special order lutefisk. From here on out, I’m pretending to be allergic to sheep.

Well, thanks to Lesley, everytime I drink milk I hear the phrase “allowable pus” in my head. So you’d better believe I was not about to click on any of those links! ;)

Malia, good choice. Avoid jelly beans like the plague and wash fruit.
