    Wandering through Alexandria, Egypt - getting late, starving... finally found a restaurant. Couldn't understand anything on the menu, so just pointed to a couple of random things, from very different places on the menu.
    Turns out the speciality of Alexandria is goddamn liver. We got two plates heaped with liver, each presumably cooked slightly differently. Absolutely nothing else. I think I forced down two pieces - maybe 1% of the 'dish'.
    Fucking Alexandria - you'd have thought there'd be a few more cookbooks available.

    Alexandria is one of the most disappointing places I've been. And I've been to Huntley.

    I wasn't expecting a big library or anything, I just wasn't expecting it to be utterly devoid of anything...

    Meant to post this the other day......I remember seeing this song on one of those late night music vid shows where you're tired as fuck but can't actually muster up the energy to drag yourself to bed. For some reason this song isn't as entrenched in the annals of kiwi music history as "Loyal", "Nature" and "Why does love do this to me?"

    There's some pretty gruesome shit in this video.

    ........and that's just the music.

    The content of the article is tragic, but its the headline that is rotarded! Seriously?

    We went to Florence last year and at a trattoria there was a couple of young Yank blokes sitting over from us. They ordered from a menu they obviously couldn't understand by pointing and making American noises and in a little while had plates of tripe in front of them. I don't think either of them even put tried it. I don't blame them. Disgusting, like a rancid dish sponge.

    I worked in Italy for a while a few years ago. Went to the work cafeteria one day and they had a vat of what looked to me like some sort of octopus casserole - at a casual glance it looked delicious.

    But it was fucking tripe and it was disgusting.

    The Poles love them some tripe. Flaczki is a tripe soup, and if you can get over what you're eating (it's fat noodles, it's fat noodles) it's actually pretty good.

    Anyone who lives in Auckland if you ever get to eat at Antoines in Parnell Tony Astle does a farken amazing tripe dish. Everyone who tasted my dish a few years ago loved it, you won't realise what you're eating

    My one - "Trippa alla Romana" - I thought I was about to eat octopus tentacles until I bit into one - so it was a fair test. Only then did I recognize the foul taste from my early childhood - not sure what my parents were thinking because everyone hated tripe including them - grocery budget blown those weeks, I guess.

    Anyway, it was dry retch material, so I'm likely to pass in future. Tony Astle can lure me in by using the same recipe with a bit of stewing steak as a substitute. 🙂

    @Chris-B. I swear mate, everyone around the table looked nervous but it was a winner. Lots of butter and some cream, chives(?) yet unbelievably light YUM!

    so....although if she is a Vegan, um....never mind

    The personal trainer says that she is quite prepared to drink the semen neat but adds extra ingredients if her mate has enjoyed a couple of pints.

    Jesus.

    Women apparently also pay a fortune for sheep placenta face masks. This is only because they haven't yet discovered the true healing properties of smearing fresh sheep shit on their faces.

    It really works - after four applications of 30 minutes your skin is feeling soft as a babies' bottom. And the slightly unpleasant smell? That's how you know it's working.

    Dr. Chris B. personally recommends it. He will send you a 250 gram sample pack for just $99.99.

    I did have a wry smile this morning when checking the news.

    Top 8 stories on the herald, 7 were about the quake.

    At number 3 was a story about Hilary Barry and why she quit. She was referred to as Mother Hen.

    @Chris-B. I didnt even know sheep placenta face masks were a thing until I saw them for sale yesterday

    Might be a business opportunity beckoning next August

    @dogmeat My cousins' kids are wastefully digging sheep shit from under their shearing shed and selling it for a couple of bucks a sack.

    If people can be convinced to pay to drink sperm and put afterbirth on their faces then the sky is the limit for the marketeers.

    The more disgusting the treatment the better as far as I can see.

    @Chris-B. Given the number of animals (including humans) that eat placentas I reckon they've got it about face

    Should eat placenta for sore throats and have bukkake face masks

    too late fullas, placenta cream is a thing, and the Chinese buy it by the box. If your souvenir gift shop isn't stocking it, you're missing out on a huge number of sales.
