There's a shop in Bathurst, NSW, Australia that advertises 'we sell every flavour of milkshake'. A friend of mine asked for a 'hot mullet malted milkshake'. Sure enough, they got a mullet from a nearby fish&chip shop, and turned it into a milkshake. My friend didn't tell me if he actually drank it... (Mullets are a particularly disgusting fish)

Beer/ice cream floats aren't bad at all... try chocolate ice cream and a good dark beer! I've had these many times! OK, now to your question: I once participated in a chocolate-chip cookie eating contest where the only beverage available to wash 'em down with was clam juice! I also went to a "punk" party where the main hors d'oeuvre was Twinkies with taco sauce. Back in the early 70's, my college roommate and I went to the NEBA ("Nicest Eatin' Beef Around" in Schenectady for subs. He had this huge Afro (actually Isro) hairdo which prompted stares from the locals... so he went back to the counter, ordered a soft ice cream, loaded it with horseradish, and let 'em stare all they wanted while he ate it!

A very similar drink, consisting of champagne, vodka, blue Curacao, and dry ice, with bitters and cocktail onion, has been served for the last two years and the Mossy Back Morris Bainbridge Island Killer Ale, under the name "Pan galactic gargle blaster."

>>> This brings up something I've been meaning to post for awhile. Let's >>> have a contest: (no prize, that wouldn't be bizarre) What's the most >>> bizarre (not necessarily gross) thing you've ever eaten? Well, I'm a self-taught cook, see, and I haven't always been what you would call wealthy, so over the years, I've eaten some real dillies. Now, dillies by themselves aren't all that bad (they're better with a little butter, and everything's better with blue vomit on it), but after so many USDA prime contenders, it'd be hard to pick a winner, even if they did grow on trees. But one came up recently that really wasn't my fault, at least directly. In a local supermarket I bought a large jar of Salsa Picante of an unknown brand at what I first thought was really a bargain price. Now I know better. This stuff comes off as a thin tomato sauce, like the broth in cans of stewed tomatoes, adroitly polluted with a conflagration of slivered half-raw jalapen~os that would bring tears to the eyes of Pancho Villa. Flippin' delicious! My first thought on tasting the stuff was, ``Gawd, this crap needs something, desperately!'' So I dumped about half a jar of garlic powder in it and stirred it up. I can't say that it really improved the stuff, but hell, why should I suffer alone? -- Jim Crandell, C. S. Dept., The University of Texas at Austin {ihnp4,seismo,ctvax}!ut-sally!crandell

Around some of the black neighborhoods(NOOO FLAMES!!!_IT'S TRUE AND THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT) of Philadelphia mayonnaise on pizza has become a delicacy.A humorous row ensued in a local par- lor when a black gentleman asked for mayonnaise on pizza and was roundly refused by the Greek who ran the joint.Fortunately a rep- resentative of the A.C.L.U was there to pick up a stromboli and he pointed out to the Greek that it was an infringement of civil lib- erties to refuse the man a mayonnaise-covered pizza if the estab- lishment had mayonnaise in storage.The Greek still refused and a court case resulted which lagged on for six weeks.

Does anyone watch MTV? They had a really weird advertisement for Punker Punch (I think that was the name) on there, this thick green fizzy glop that is 100% preservatives. Has this glum-looking punk rocker advised by a female of the same species, quaffs a large glass of the stuff, and immediately goes berserk. If you can come up with a reasonable, nonaddictive facsimile of that stuff, I want to get a keg of it. (Should make mek the life of the party... or the death of it, heh heh heh..) Carl Greenberg

I like chocolate, cheese, and cashew omelets, myself. The chocolate must be demi-hemi-semi-sweet (Cote d'Or Extra Dry, if I remember the name right, is optimal, while Nestle Milk Chocolate is SUB-pessimal), the cheese should be the sharpest possible cheddar unless you like blue cheese better, and the cashews should be roasted but not necessarily salted. The cheese goes in first, once the eggs have seized up enough to coat the pan, and the chocolate goes in at the last minute (if you overheat the chocolate, it gets grainy -- you want to melt it, not cremate it). I haven't tried roast beef in this one yet, but the next time I have all the ingredients, I think I will. And then there's popcorn soup. I've made some pretty good batches, but every single one of them would have been better without the popcorn. BTW, one of my friends likes to stick a clove of garlic into his mouth before eating a chocolate ice cream cone. STella Calvert (guest on ...!decvax!frog!wjr) Every man and every woman is a star.

OK, so I've never actually tried the stuff, but listen: you know Uncle Ben's Perverted Brand Rice? Have you ever looked at the back of the box? They've got all these recipes, which is nice and all, but one of them is for "Any Fruit Rice Fluff". It involves (guess!) rice, fruit (ANY fruit), and "fluff" (i.e. Cool-Whip). Fine. Peaches 'n' Rice. Or Strawberries 'n' Rice. But did they stop to consider that the tomato is also a fruit? Isn't it misleading to call it "Any Fruit Rice Fluff" when they must know damned well that tomatoes, rice, and Cool-Whip must be a wretched (and retchful) combination? I'm gonna write my congressman.

The Bel Canto pizzerias in Boston/suburbs offer (at last count) 22 different pizza toppings. (We refer to the ordering procedure as "setting the bits in the Pizza Status Register"!)
