Untappd

Untappd is to beer, what Foursquare is to locations...

It's a great app for getting to know beers and breweries, and interact with your drinking buddies.

You can also, similarly to Foursquare earn badges. All in all a fun site and app.

The ancient problem ...weakness of the will...I can't resist...Dark chocolate with chocolate mousse...total chocolate overload....Resistance is futile...as the Borg saying goes!

Decline in the sale of Frozen Pizza in Norway

Pizza Obsession Waning

But still:

"The average Norwegian consumes nearly 5.5 kilos (12 pounds) of frozen pizza per year."

That's not including eating pizza in resturants and making them from scratch in the comfort of one's home..

"In 2004 Norwegians spent over NOK 2 billion (USD ) on 50 million pizzas, a total consumption of 50,000 tons of the Italian treat.

Frozen pizzas made up 22,000 tons, restaurant and take-aways 13,000 tons and industrious Norwegians produced 15,000 tons of home-made pizzas."

That is a  lot when divided by 4,6 million people. Quite mind-boggeling to be exact.

New Species Found at the Supermarket!

Rock Rat, anyone?

"Scientists who went shopping recently at an Asian food market got more than they bargained for—a rodent unknown to science was being sold as meat
...
The animal is believed to represent not only a new species of rodent but also the first mammal family to be discovered in 30 years."

"I'll Try Anything Once" - ahhmmm!

Deep-fried tarantula, anyone?
Excerpt:

Imagine swallowing a beating cobra’s heart. Or tucking into deep-fried bull’s testicles, or a bowl of stir-fried dog. Maybe the thought of grilled mice on rice turns your stomach? Not so Jerry Hopkins, who for the past 25 years has rejected his "meat and potatoes" upbringing in the United States to try out a range of regional specialities in a number of far-flung countries. From a shot glass of warm bat’s blood in a Saigon bar, to roasted water beetle washed down with beer on a Bangkok street, Hopkins has sampled things that most of us would shudder to think about, let alone put in our mouths. It’s all done in the name of adventure, but he does admit that sometimes, "I just have to shut my eyes and swallow quickly.

Putting the dictum "I'll try anything once" to a hard test!
Still, I've tried rattlesnake before and that actually tasted quite good. But any meal consisting of  testicles and yak-urin...  Not my cup of tea!!!

Virtual Bartender 2!

RRWell, like most sane people I prefer to go to a real bar and get a real beer.
That said,  the 2 girls in Virtual Bartender 2 are amazing and fun to play around with!

Virtual Bartender 2 is twice the fun of Virtual Bartender 1.
And not just because there are twice as many girls to mess about with...
