waitingmanWell, there seems to be a global furore brewing over some cartoons that dare to depict Mohammed - a BIG no-no in Islam. Threats of fatwahs & jihads are flying around & consulates are burning...
Meanwhile, the decadent western press are publishing details of the latest weapon of mass consumption that, in the wrong hands, could be far more fatal... or at least bad for your physical well-being.
Pie Recipe For Nuts
It used to be deep fried Mars bars, but now a celebrity chef has come up with a dish that's even worse for your health - Snickers pie.
A UK food watchdog says Antony Worrall Thompson's recipe for Snickers pie is one of the unhealthiest ever published, reports the UK's Daily Telegraph.
The Food Commission calculates that one slice of the pie made of the peanut chocolate bars contains more than 1,250 calories.
Five Snickers bars go into the pie, with mascarpone, eggs, sugar, soft cheese and puff pastry.
The commission found that one portion has the equivalent of 22 teaspoons of fat and 11 teaspoons of sugar.
The recipe, which appears on the BBC website, is featured in Food magazine, published by the Food Commission.
"We love a decent dessert as much as anyone, but surely this has to be one of the most unhealthy recipes ever published," the article alongside the recipe states.
Mr Worrall Thompson reportedly said the dish was intended to be a special treat for a children's party.
"On Saturday mornings we attract children to the program and from time to time you have to make them feel as though they are being looked after as well as the health police," he said.
"Kids have to be allowed to be kids from time to time. I think prohibition is when you start getting kids eating behind your back. It is better to give them a treat from time to time."
Not enjoying the humidity & heatwave here in Sydney. Looking forward to Melbourne in a few days.
