Yule Blog

In a HOChieS' Quest today to find various Christmas related things, such as new recipes for cupcakes other than red velvet, we stumbled upon a Wikipedia article that had a list of traditional food served at Christmas from 23 different countries.

It was rather disappointing but Trinidad and the Caribbean were not on the list, which means we can contribute to the article! I may be displaced but I do remember Christmas. It was my favourite time of year followed by Divali, Eid and Easter...sniff..., I miss the goo'd times.

Our rummaging through the eats of various countries led to other articles, one being the yule log.

As I was reading up on said yule log, (and let me digress for a moment, I find the concept of a televised yule log an utterly ridiculous 'tradition' but I suppose some find the constant repetition of A Christmas Story for 24 hours utterly ridiculous, and to them I say, "pox on you"), I came across this horrid thing:

You are also confused by this Durian Bûche de Noël, right?

There is no need to respond to that question, Beetchie.

It's been 12 hours since I viewed that picture and I still feel rather ill.

I also have a strong desire to never go to Singapore at Christmas time.
