Wonderful things - a true British delicacy; best served in a packet of salt & vinegar crisps with a pint of dark mild on the side - who says us Brits don't know how to eat out, eh?



Potato cannon?

To follow up this particular conversational thread, we must take it to its logical conclusion:

The Vienna Vegetable Orchestra

A review:

"playing with food never had such interesting results. The concert was truely a sensory experience towards the end when the sharp scent of celery and onion filled the venue and juices from bruised vegetables stained the performers' attire, but this orchestra revelled in sound and as one left the concert more attuned to the aural rhythms of everyday life, it seems their devotion had paid off."

You couldn't make it up

Here's a selection of their instruments:



L-R The leek violin, The pepper trumpet, The cucumberphone, The cucumber instrument and the Aubergine clap.

I'm not making this up

[edit]

This has to be prog related, at the very least...

Almost as worrying as a pepper trumpet!

Oh dear - time to send in the men with funny coats I think

Does anybody else's local chippy have a jar on the counter, or is it just mine?   Feeling calmer now, just so long as nobody mentions certain inedible pickled root vegetables of a reddish hue....

When the vinegar in a jar of pickled gerkins (droooooollll) has gone cloudy, it means they're just ready for consumption - or so I'm told; a jar never lasts long enough in our house

Which gerkins though - cornichons or the large haimishas?

If that scene had been done with pickled eggs not boiled ones, the rest of the movie would have been considerably different...
