Ok, for real now

James and the Giant Mosque

I thought I had just run into the wonderland of Roald Dahl, with James and the Giant Peach. You'd think Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker were going to pop out of somewhere with the look of this structure.

PEACHY KEEN!

TRIPLE TOMATO!

One of my coworkers was out in the field visiting farmers and brought this freakazoid back to show us! It is a triple tomato fused in one! It was the actual size of there tomatoes beautifully fused like siamese triplets. The joke in the office was that Gaza has invented the new hybrid between a tomato and a red pepper.

Fresh Almonds

These little guys are popping up in every corner market. FRESH ALMONDS! It is popular to dip them in salt and pop them into your mouth. They are rather crunchy, with a peachy fuzz on the outside. They taste a little "planty" with a hint of almond flavor.

Instructions: How to get away with not sharing


If you would like a really good excuse to not share your delicious cookies, do the following.
  1. Move to a predominantly Muslim Location
  2. Buy these cookies made with wine.
  3. Take them to your office
  4. Result: No one will touch your cookies.

Fattat Hummus

I popped down to the kitchen in my office and this large array was on the table. My first thought was...holy S*** that's a lot of hummus!

This my friends is Fattat Hummus, which is hummus with little pieces of pita bread already cut up and mixed in side. How do you eat it? You just scope about 5 spoonfuls onto your plate and eat it!

Very bizarre, psychologically I'd rather scoop hummus onto dry bread and eat it rather than having the 2-in-1 deal.
