Do you remember in the film “There’s Something About Mary” the scene, where Ted and Mary are eating meat out of a cone, and agree that you don’t get enough meat in cones?
Well, I’ve discovered something else that comes as a cone – pizza!
I think the best way to imagine it, is like a calzone that’s open at one end. I read about them here. The idea seems simple enough – the pizza is not flat, but shaped like a cone, with the filling inside. You can then hold it in one hand, and eat it outside, eg. whilst walking.
In my opinion, this is a really great idea and I look forward to someone in Germany taking on the idea so that I can try it!

What are you doing on the 15th of May this year?

I received an invitation the other day to join this facebook group – which promotes the panic buying of carrots on 15th May this year.
Why????
Well, what started as a crazy idea may have caused a shortage of carrots if they hadn’t warned everybody, but with over 170,000 members in the group, this certainly isn’t a secret any longer.
Several news channels have picked up the story and are now telling the world. There are even plans to turn the carrots into soup, cake and juice and to donate these to the homeless in the South of England.
It amazes me that something that started out as a silly idea, has created such media attention and could turn out to be such a big event.
I’ll be keeping an eye on the calendar to see how it turns out.
How would like your rat, sir?

It has to be said, that although I haven’t tried these things myself, I’ve read and seen quite a bit about different animals being eaten in other parts of the world.
Being a fan of Bolivia, I’ve heard a lot about cuy, or guinea pigs, even though I never saw them offered for sale during my time there.
I also vividly remember Michael Palin on this 80 days trip travelling through China and eating snake.
But today an article caught my eye, that I just had to write about: eating rats.
It’s the sort of thing that I normally associate with starvation – eating rats as a last resort. The siege of Stalingrad comes to mind.
So why is a popular tourist destination like Thailand suddenly serving up so many of the things? The article doesn’t really offer much of an answer to that question – but there must be one. How else could someone sell 100kg of rat meat in one day? Come to think of it, that must be a large pile of rats to start off with.
They may say that it tastes better than chicken, but at the moment I’d rather not find out.
