It is Pee in U K food now

 food seasonings fresh from the tap

When a situation becomes ridiculous, it is difficult to maintain a stiff upper lip and it is time to choose between crying and laughing. After Poo was found in cakes (read older posts in this blog for that) from Europe it seems it is  Pee now in U K. and that too in a respectable advocates' lounge at Snaresbrook Crown Court, in north-east London. If that is possible in a respectable lounge under full legal glare can you blame the stores for passing horse meat as beef and late night take-aways from UK of helping rid the kingdom of stray cats and dogs while making a quick buck on the side? It seems that the heady brew from one or more clickers set below the belt was found as the seasoning for soups, salads and sandwiches.

What is the world coming too?

LOL ! 

Read this report for example
http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2012/jan/20/snaresbrook-court-police-urine-food

To quote from this report ,

The council said: "Following an inquiry from a member of staff at the court, one of our food safety officers visited the court on Wednesday to give advice on a possible contamination of food issue. A joint investigation has begun which is being led by the police. We are unable to comment further until the police investigation is complete."
The suggestion of this blogger is that the court must trace the culprit and accord punishment. DNA or other chemical markers are found in human urine and samples could be collected from all at the premises, including the honorable dignitaries since the respectable law treats all equally, to identify the culprit. The samples may be collected under strict watch to prevent substitution.

Snaresbrook is  a Victorian Gothic Place. The dear old queen who built an empire that stretched from one end of the world to the other will turn in her grave when she hears of this. She preferred whiskey in her tea instead.  To this sweet empress of our lands, I even devoted a near full chapter in my novel - Nude Besides the Lake (http://www.amazon.com/Nude-besides-Lake-A-Novel/dp/1463529392)  The word is besides in the title not beside.

I think most of the esteemed visitors to the lounge would have found the taste a bit off, but seeing that one former Prime Minister over in India liked the stuff, one would not be surprised if some remarked,

"I  kind of like the new flavor Mate!" 
I choose to laugh rather than cry. 
:)

LOL

UPDATE April 2015, :  The new cocktail drink called 'Pee Johnny' does not contain that stuff as the name suggests but simply makes one produce a lot of it in a pressing hurry. Perhaps the cooks had been drinking some of that :)  It is described here:

In a separate discussion on this on Metro we are trying to find a reasonable explanation for this. perhaps the cook ran out of salt and did not want to keep the Honorable judges waiting :)

Elsewhere someone suggested that the chef was pissed off by the curly white wigs his clients wear so he was merely returning the favor :)

From Birds to Telepathy

  Sparrow by  Laitche T he house that I live in presently was built in stages  beginning in 1991 during  vacations and sabbaticals in my career. By 1995, the ground floor of the house was more or less complete except for some finishing that continued later. In the center of the roof of the living room was a hole meant for a center light. To hide the protruding wires a small round plastic sheet covered it with another circular hole in the center of it for the light. A similar one existed in the front porch of the house. I lived in the house through most of 1995 with frequent visits of three or four days to Delhi. At this time a pair of house sparrows occupied the porch roof cavity and made it their home. There were no complaints about that since it was not intended to fix a light there in a hurry. Sparrows are cute little birds anyway and I often leave seeds out for them in the garden. Sometime later the female of the pair moved into the living roo...

The Palash Tree - Magic of Medicinal Herbs and Flowers and Back Pain

The Palash Tree Flower B efore modern medicines became prevalent, humans treated many ailments with flowers, leaves, roots and barks of plants and trees. Ayurveda,  an ancient Indian medicinal science, makes use of many herbs and plant materials without substantial extraction of active ingredients as modern medicine does. The idea is that additional compounds in a medicinal or edible plant is an organic whole and a part of life that supports other life.  The complimentary compounds appear to play a useful balancing role whereas individually extracted and isolated compounds can be harmful. A modern example in wide use as food is sugar, a pure chemical isolated from the juice of sugar cane. Indeed there is no food or herb that does not contain a compound or two that could be from mildly to extremely dangerous if isolated and consumed but is beneficial as a group with other compounds. That is the reason why alcohol distilled from a natural fermented fruit juice and ...

You are what you eat, and drink

C onsume an ounce of whiskey and you will notice the change in mood and behavior immediately. However, it is not just whiskey everything we drink, even the quality of water, or anything we eat has some subtle or significant influence on our behavior. Consumed over a period, not just the weekend binge, the type of food we consume literally shapes our personality prompting ancient thinkers like Hippocrates to remark, “You are what you eat”. Some question this by saying that it is our experiences and habits that shape our personality but the two are linked because it is our habits that shape our tastes and food choices. In another post in this blog it was  mentioned that a human personality is shaped by memory and experiences and one might ask which of the two is more significant - food or experiences?. My understanding is that humans gravitate towards the foods and actions that agree with their inner inclinations and personality and so in the end both causes are two sides of th...
