Office lunches

[Tigadee]

The look on peoples faces when I brought durian to the staffroom for lunch was priceless.

That must have been some fun!

Probably comparable to the look you gave them when you ate it.

Even the chinese think durian tastes like old shit.

It tastes great. My favourite fruit of all. There are a few Asian shops that sell it in Christchurch.

Dunno - my workmate used to buy them in a can and they were foul.....

So its chicken?

[Usarka]

Tinned tuna is killing the environment, man.

No offense, but what nationality are you?
My parents are English and they eat all kinds of gross stuff. (Not that I can talk, I eat liver - and yes I know it is gross, but so good)

Ex Dutch (now Kiwi, of course).

My grandparents made their own salted herring. And my fathers father owned a cabbage farm - that delivered to a saurkraut factory. I grew up on smoked Eel.

My parents (who owned a cucumber farm in Holland) never had a simple pumpkin 'till we came to N.Z.


(Liver! Yum. My Wife is Indian, and makes a mean chicken liver curry...)

What foul smelling shit do you take to work

I have, on occassion, let the scream of an imprisoned shit out in the "privacy" of my cubicle, only to have someone come over to talk to me.

I've always imagined that it tastes the same as licking as sweaty ass crack.
Never been game enough to try licking an ass crack though so have no conclusive evidence.

Try it (durian that is). It's a delicious creamy fruit. It's like all the best fruits blended together.

OMG chicken liver.... My Mum was cooking some for her dogs and I fished then out and smuushed them on crackers - got a slap on the ass for my troubles, but soooooo good.
Lambs fry (liver) with bacon in a casserole.... yum, good English food.

One of my collegues many years ago used to eat raw potatoes and an extremely pungent Stilton (part of a Vegan diet). Thankfully, he ate lunch in his office. Nobody would go anywhere near that end of the building with that stuff exposed.

Icelanders I work with eat rotten shark meat, You don't so much smell it as get attacked by it.

Nice guys, Keen to share.


They are going to try and bring some whale into the country for me to try.


With a bit of luck we will see them on border patrol or whatever its called.

Used to work for a firm in Sydney that employed a bunch of Cambodians, They couldn't walk past poad kill, that was a feed, and they remebered starving, You don't pass up a feed.

So, they would scoop it off the road, soak it in fish sauce, wrap it in tin foil, and stick the fucking thing in the pie warmer.

At lunch time they would unwrap the slightly warm carcass and attack it with chopsticks while carrying on like a bunch of 5 year olds with a bowl of lollies.

mmm....fuckin tasty.

Isn't that akin to smuggling weed into Amsterdam?

Frikken whales practically throw themselves onto the beaches here every second week. First in gets prime cut.
