Weird dishes: are you game?

 Imagine having to eat a fertilised duck egg with a nearly developed embryo inside, or cows brains or even coffee beans made from poo. Believe it or not, these dishes do exist.

 Trung Vit Lon is a dish eaten in Vietnam. It is  a fertilised duck egg with a nearly developed embryo inside. Some people from the northern part of Vietnam prefer theirs mature, when the chick is old enough to have a beak and claws. Tacos de Sesos is a dish from Mexico. This is a tortilla filled with animal brains. The most expensive coffee beans in the world are made from Civet (cat like mammal) poo. These are very popular in South-east Asia.

Believe it, it's the new chocolate generation!



sneakers made of chocolate



The lovers of chocolate are being introduced to a totally new chocolate generation. Chocolate makers such as Simon Dunn Chocolatier,Gayles Chocolates and many others are slowly moving away from the normal chocolate bar look, to more extravagant styles.

I know that I would definitely buy a chocolate shaped as a stilleto or sneaker just for the fun of staring at it for hours and then eating it. Even people who rarely buy chocolate will be eager to buy this kind of chocolate.

Private chocolate makers are using these kinds of chocolate to up their sales. They know that when you see a normal chocolate bar you would just pass and not buy it. But when you see a chocolate shoe, you would freeze in awe and immediately dig into your pockets.

A chocolate shoe has the awe of the intricate detail of how they made it. but once you take a bite a guilty showers over you knowing that someone has put their blood, sweat and tear into making that shoe and you have just ruined it! 

This type of chocolate will obviously cost more than a normal chocolate bar. But, is moving away from the traditional style appropriate?  For the company's sales figures it's an undoubtable yes, but as for the consumers pocket, that's a totally different story.

modern women vs cooking

We all know the saying that a way to a man's heart is through his stomach. But when it comes to modern women in aprons, it's a rare sight. It seems they aren't winning all his love with their chicken roast or chocolate pudding.
 Men today complain that women are overwhelmed by their jobs, party life and sex life. They have very little time to think about what's for dinner. So they take the easy way out and buy something that they can quickly pop in the microwave.

The one main reason why men love women who can cook is because it reminds them of their moms. It might sound absurd but it's true. Men want to be assured that their family will be well taken care of. They don't want to spend half their salary on take-aways every month.
But should men really make this an issue? Does it really matter whether the woman you love can cook or not? i just think that as long as she can provide you with a meal at the end of each day, be it home cooked or not, things should be perfectly fine.
