Well I went, & I shared three pretty big & spectacular portions.
The Baby Gaga was really creamy sweet & luxorious, felt naughty, was served with all kinds of fancy stuff - & a woman dressed as Lady Gaga! Yum. The human cow produces the best icecream!
We also had a Sex Bomb! Which was made with natural viagra, topped with absinthe served via a drip by a nurse - & set alight! Again, I've never tasted icecream as good as this.
Finally, & I forget the name - a very fiery icecream - infused with chilli, ginger & lemon grass, topped with a shot of something else that was set on fire. It was like eating a thai curry & an icecream at the same time.
The vibe was pretty cool too, funky 70s stuff - I think James Taylor?
I just wonder if lactating women with icecream makers might produce some homegrown - eh Petite! Bet the BF will be interested!
PS - I don't think the S/Z thing actually matters - zeds were used long into the 20th century in England by a number of writers, & I think it's only a phenomenom in the last 30 years that has caused a major divide. I frequently use zeds - if only to bait people who accuse it of being an Americanism when I write a report - when it's no such thing. It's purely a difference in preference between ancient Greek & Romanised (see that doesn't look right!) word endings. Most of the words came from Greek roots - & I know the OED used to prefer a zed...
...but that's language for you. Use a zed a knock someone on the head each time they tell you its wrong!

That was very interesting, thanks for sharing. :biggrin1: I don't want to turn this into a grammar lesson but...regarding the 'zeds' - I have no problem with anyone who favours the 'z'. My point is that America favours 'z' enormously. If it was balanced with the use of 's' I wouldn't mind but it is one of those things that bugs me. Yes, you are right that people have used both throughout history but I am talking about the 'Queen's English' not Roman or Greek English. These British/American language differences don't bother me generally but I admit some do. The wonderful David Mitchell explains - YouTube - David Mitchell Writes - Dear America...
I can't stand that charmless arse Charlie Brooker on the 10 o'clock show though!
Minced metaphors - ah! Aren't they all swept away by the ubiquitous term "idiomatic" now?
I still shake when I hear - "you did good" - did good what? It's something that has crept in under the radar for "you did well".
"Aks", & "arx" for "ask", & the increasingly transatlantic permeation into Western culture of the inability to use the correct tenses for the verbs: to go, & to do.
"He should have went/ & he should have did" (aaaaaaaaarggghh), for "he should have gone/ & he should have done".
I saw Bednobs & Broomsticks a month ago, & the illiterate, urchin, evacuees were using slightly similar language, because that marked them out as being uneducated.
I really don't hold out much hope for the state schooling system producing anymore Einsteins if this is their attention to detail.
I stopped caring about commas long ago!:wink:
Adults consuming breast milk for medical reasons is centuries old. I am too lazy to gofind the links now but if you do a search you will find many links. I recall fx. the last empress of China and a professor at Oxford in Elizabethan times.
Some people drink their own piss for the supposed benefits though, but I don't really fancy knowing there's a barrel of urine sloshing around in the kitchens of all restaurants.
Voice of past experiences there, Helga?:biggrin:No, that's only if you really annoy the waitstaff :tongue:

Gross! Breastmilk is not like piss.
Breastmilk is actually made for human consumption. It's the reason why we feed it to babies, because it's made to be drunk by human beings and it's nutritionally complete and healthy, which is a claim supported by modern scientific research.
Once again, it's a reference to history, though I admit I have restaurant serving experience in my dim past. Bruce Dickinson got expelled from school for adding a little something of his own to the headmaster's soup.Voice of past experiences there, Helga?:biggrin:
