That’s the most hilarious misspelling of “Cappuccino” I’ve seen all week; thanks!

Hey, don’t knock it ’til you’ve tried it.

I’ve heard that brains have all the nutrients need to promote strong nervous system growth.

Then again, I don’t see that in most zombies, so maybe it’s a myth propagated by the Brain Harvesters of America trade group.

Goddamn deadbacks. Jumping the river Styx and stealing our jobs.

Brain muffins sound more appetizing to me than the overly-crunchy marble ones. Perhaps Amish Farms is trying to unload excess inventory from their quarry operation?

er, Amish Farms Market.

Beware of the muffin prions! You too could be a victim of mad muffin disease.

Don’t tell us you didn’t try one. Are they fresh?

Reminds me of the time about three months ago when I was shopping at a supermarket and saw a box with the prominently written words: “Yellow Cake.”

Steve, that’s my fear too. Pastry spongiform encephalopathy — that’s awful stuff.

Barry, that’s the funniest thing I’ve read today.

Adds new, and even more horrible meanings to stuffed-monkey.

It’s time I demonstrated my faith in the confectionary industry by force feeding my daughter a fruit slice.

At least they serve entire muffins. At my local coffee place they mostly serve muffin tops, and when questioned they’re vague about the fate of the muffin bottoms.

On a more general confectionary note: so many chocolate treats are marketed as sinful or decadent that it’s surprising that I have yet to see one labeled “Chocolate Damnation”.

Boston’s restaurant 209 offers a dessert called “Chocolate Inferno”. Which is furthermore described as “decadent”.

(And “Chocolate Paradise” gets innumerable hits from Google, I’m sure some are dessert names. “Chocolate Purgatory” gets only one hit and it is not a dessert name; but if you were to open a restaurant called Dante Cafe (or better, Caffe Dante), you would be well advised to offer a Chocolate Commedia as your signature dessert. Might I suggest:

* Chocolate Inferno — a rich, fudgy sort of thing with chocolate syrup.

* Chocolate Purgatorio — heavy, heavy, heavy chocolate mousse and fondant. Lots of bitter, dark accents.

and if you can get through that, your way is clear to

* Chocolate Paradisio — shavings of white chocolate on a base of white chocolate custard with whipped cream.

And perhaps to top it all off, a wafer-thin mint?

The Chocolate Purgatorio is okay, but I can’t recommend the Chocolate Purgativo. (Last time, I ordered a Café Emetico and the Barrista said, “Coming right up.”)

I’d like to see a dessert called ‘aChocalypse’, perhaps a cake shaped like a mushroom cloud.
