A well-done steak, especially if it has charred portions, contains far higher levels of carcinogens than a medium, or a rare steak. |

That may be true, but I know I've surpassed my quota long time ago given how much I love pulled pork BBQ! I'll be working on some of those slackers' numbers next, to keep up the average!

Persians first began using colored eggs to celebrate spring in 3,000 B.C. 13th century Macedonians were the first Christians on record to use colored eggs in Easter celebrations. Crusaders returning from the Middle East spread the custom of coloring eggs, and Europeans began to use them to celebrate Easter and other warm weather holidays.

Excellent piece of historical information, Dave! I know my Polish mom taught me how to make colored eggs from yellow onion peel, Of course they all turned out the same color, but that was traditional. Just boil the peel in water, then add the eggs and the colorants would transfer to the shell. We also used red onion skins.

I have no idea Rivet..I'm trusting the source where I got the factoid. Never checked it myself, but rest assured I will next time the corn is in.

The English word "soup" comes from the Middle Ages word "sop," which means a slice of bread over which roast drippings were poured. The first archaeological evidence of soup being consumed dates back to 6000 B.C., with the main ingredient being Hippopotamus bones!

Wow that's all? I would have thought it took more than that! I guess the saying "busy little bees" is right! Great factoid Dave, thanks. By the way, is honey really "bee spit" (from it's mouth) or does it come out of a special orifice, say like the web from a spider?

The FDA allows an average of 30 or more insect fragments and one or more rodent hairs per 100 grams of peanut butter. I will certainly think twice before buying my next jar! Hmmmmmmmm...anybody that has a recipe for homemade peanut butter....now would be a good time to post it. |

Kopi Luak is the most expensive coffee in the world. At between $300 and $600 a pound, it is served in Indonesia.
I'll explain further...it is also known as "civet coffee", primarily because it is made from the poop of these cute, furry little critters. Civets eat the coffee berries and pass them through their digestive tracts. The undigested beans are dropped by the civet and collected by the locals and ground up.
Now it's impossible to be politically correct here.
You're sipping animals turds soaked in some steaming hot water people!!!!!!!
Who do you think was the first rocket scientist to say "Hey....lets try this...might taste good?"
