11/16: Big sundae

Undertoad · 11-16-2001, 10:47 AM

Big Indian sundae, that is. In western India, in the city of Ahmedabad. It isn't a record sized sundae, but it was built in just over an hour and fed 50,000.

What this really says: the starving children of India, so popularized by mothers everywhere trying to get their kids to eat, are now well-fed. India is not the starving country it once was. Thanks to the government's de-nationalization of its farming industry and a few decades of growth, they have so much food that they can play with it.

What's the green junk on top? Is that the broccoli I wouldn't eat when I was a kid? And I thought Mom was kidding...

Actually, this is a Wasabi Sundae. These are apparently very popular in India.

...you eat one with steaming hot fudge poured all over it.

Man, I miss the old Lindsday and Gertie's Grill and Ice Cream parlor in my old neighborhood in Chicago (back when I was but a wee lad of 8). That was a fine hot fudge sundae that place made. It's home to the birth of two of my cavities. =)

Gee, with the "Frost Pist" when I saw "steaming" I thought you were going to say "Hot Grits"

(I can't believe I wrote that)

It looks like they're worshipping the giant ice-cream structure....

It seems that the indians (*cough* *cough* ) know how to keep the Sundae Holy...(sorry..just had to..)
