Stupid Foods

I'll probably regret asking this, but WHY did you give a speech on tapioca pudding? - How much can possibly be said on the subject and who would want to listen? No offence meant of course!

All very good points.

I went along to a speakers club while I was working in London this week. There's a bit of impromptu speakeing as I was challenged to talk for 2 minutes about something I didn't like but do now.

My brain started dumping any information it could randomly access and iit stopped on tapioca. As it happens I don't like it now and never did. Still, an entertaining speech on tapioca was on the cards.

It's amazing what rubbish your mind comes up with under pressure.

My head has some tapioca stuff in it, I'm sure it comes from a root which was known to be poisonous but when eaten cooked turned out to be ok, and I think skips are made out of it.

Hope Jon hasn't eaten a dodgy mushroom?! He seems to have disappeared!

And spouted gibberish immediately prior to doing so!!

I've been in Cornwall for the last week, sampling pasties

Pengennas were our favourite. http://www.pengennapasties.co.uk/
But on the "stupid foods" theme, some places also have "laver", the stewed seaweed like the Welsh have the other side of the Bristol Channel. Not particularly pleasant IMHO

I love seaweed! Full of vitamins and nutrition. - Not a stupid food!

try making croutons out of seaweed then, perhaps then you'll "get them"

Never thought of that one Bob. - Seaweed croutons I could possibly take a shine to, providing they stay crispy in soup.

That doesn't sound like something I'd "want on" my soup...

- I was going to say are you trying to be saki, then I realised it was the wrong country! - This is the effect you are having on me Geoff. Everything I write, I'm trying to slip puns into!

A bit like soda bread - there's no knead!

Wheat-rye-d to do puns like Geoff, but could never get the quantity in.

He just uses his loaf more.

Corny Max - Corny! Must dough better. If you rise to the challenge, you will prove that you are at yeast capable of the quality of us well-bread punsters!
