MMMmmm. Liquified Eel.
Only in Japan. This eely yellow fizzy drink is supposed to re-energize tired men. Maybe they should try Red Bull.
From the AP here:
It’s the hottest season of the year in Japan, and that means it’s eel season. So, bottom’s up!
A canned drink called “Unagi Nobori,” or “Surging Eel,” made by Japan Tobacco Inc., hit the nation’s stores this month just ahead of Japan’s annual eel-eating season.
“It’s mainly for men who are exhausted by the summer’s heat,” Hayashi said of the beverage, believed to be the first mass-produced eel drink in Japan.
Many Japanese believe eating eel boosts stamina in hot weather.
The fizzy, yellow-colored drink contains extracts from the head and bones of eel and five vitamins — A, B1, B2, D and E — contained in the fish. The $1.30 drink costs about one-tenth as much as broiled eel, but has a similar flavor.
Imagine what the burps taste like after guzzling one of these beauties!

Cornish Pasty to Finally Be Trademarked
Mmmm. The Cornish Pasty. (pronounced PAH-stee) I have been to Cornwall and have eaten some of these wonderful meatpies, and they are indeed a regional treasure that deserves protection.
From Reuters here:
Cornish pasty makers in Cornwall moved a step closer to securing branding and marketing rights for the traditional snack after the government backed their European bid for regional protection.
If successful, only pasty makers in Cornwall that use traditional methods and recipes for the meat and vegetable snack will be able to use the trademark, barring copy-cat like products from branding and marketing their products as Cornish pasties.
Any trademark would cover the Cornish pasty’s traditional recipe and appearance. A genuine Cornish pasty has a distinctive D shape with the pastry crimped on one side, never on top.
It is filled with minced or roughly cut chunks of beef, swede or turnip, potato and onion.
The pasty originated as a meal the tin miners could easily pack for a lunch. It contains hunks of beef and local veggies. Think of an American pot pie, folded in half with heartier fillings, and you get the picture.

God, I Wanna Lick the Griddle
Wow. Below you see a whole griddle used to create the Lutherburger, which is a bacon cheeseburger and you use tasty, yummy, heavenly Krispy Kreme Donuts instead of a bun.
Is the USA great or what?
And Homer Approves. Thanks to Al Dente here by way of Fark.
