I can't find it now. It's probably one of those many lunatic items than only appears when people are in 'spend' mode and will buy anything.<BR/><BR/>A little adaptation and you could have runes, I Ching symbols, anything you like seared into your food.<BR/><BR/>Then tell fortunes by what comes up on the plate. Although if they still make Alphabet Spaghetti you could do it with no ambguity. Imagine being served a plate with 'You are doomed' spelled out on it. It's almost worth taking a temporary job in a cafe...<BR/><BR/>And the divining artichoke? Does it foretell the coming of the Day of the Cucumber? Oh wait, he's already here, I saw him dressed as a pirate on TGF's blog!Romulus Crowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09275578435620952450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13423684.post-63084399616822088012008-03-15T01:39:00.000+00:002008-03-15T01:39:00.000+00:00Umm...Oracle casserole!I guess I shouldn't send yo...Umm...Oracle casserole!<BR/><BR/>I guess I shouldn't send you any photos of my divining artichoke, then.ThatGreenyFlowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10464818533143531044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13423684.post-62579269589373291632008-03-14T21:51:00.000+00:002008-03-14T21:51:00.000+00:00Why couldn't you do it with fries? Same concept. Y...Why couldn't you do it with fries? Same concept. You could do it with just about anything long & straight: chopsticks, pens, even toothpicks a la Dustin Hoffman's Rainman. <BR/><BR/>As far as using food for runes goes, you could sear the runic symbol onto medallions of potato and/or meat, toss, cover with cheese and bake until golden brown and have yourself an oracle casserole.Dr. Brainiachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05211219428888730462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13423684.post-83638417280036449242008-03-14T01:48:00.000+00:002008-03-14T01:48:00.000+00:00I thought that too - it's just like the old 'throw...I thought that too - it's just like the old 'throwing sticks' types of divination that have been around for millenia. Except when you make it specifically asparagus, it sounds odd. <BR/><BR/>It would help, perhaps, if I liked asparagus. I don't. So I won't buy any to test this because I can't eat the stuff afterwards. I think asparagus was designed to be a packaging material, not a food. Certainly not an oracle.<BR/><BR/>If only it worked with chips (French-fries to the rebel colonists aross the sea). I'd try it all the time.<BR/><BR/>I-Ching is interesting but runes give more specific answers and are therefore more testable. I'm still trying out the runes. I'm not testing foods.Romulus Crowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09275578435620952450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13423684.post-5820510342437959762008-03-13T23:21:00.000+00:002008-03-13T23:21:00.000+00:00Bwahahahahaa!
