Tasty

by Kieran Healy on May 18, 2006

I would like some “Koranic Tuna”:http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/4995100.stm with my “BVM Toast”:http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4034787.stm, thanks. If I could talk Krishna into manifesting himself in some wasabi, lunch might get taken care of.

If only the Hasidic carp were still around.

The BVM toast sold for $28,000, and the story reports the top offer for the Koranic Tuna was $150.

Argh, what happened to my link? Anyway, the talking carp was killed and sold as a normal fish, so presumably rated less than the tuna.

Presumably there’s room here for the old joke, “Well, a fish like that, you don’t eat it all at once.”

You want lunch taken care of? Have you asked for the intercession of the Flying Spaghetti Monster?

I think you’d do better hoping that krishna will manifest himself in a pat of compound butter to put on the grilled tuna steak. maybe you could get the confucian/buddhist “duke of hell” to manifest in the wasabi.

If you wanna go where the action is, forget the mains and check out the salty sides.

How dare you take Krishna’s name in vain!

Actually, I should say “wain”.

Kieran,
That was a pig not a fish.

aw, c’mon. you know krishna’s a joker. if there’s any avatar out there likely to trick a chef by coming up with anchovy butter where he expected chervil butter, it’s krishna.
