advertising gone mad

2006-10-24 17:51:50.163333+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

[Picture of advertisement for 'Virgin Salmon Oil' capsules]Commercialism run amok: At least they didn't call 'em "Extra Virgin Salmon Oil". Just in case anyone's not clear on this, salmon eggs are fertilized externally, so that meaning of "virgin" doesn't count, and I'm fairly sure you only get one pressing of a salmon...

But the accompanying recipe for lavender lemon cream, mostly revolving around mixing the lavender buds into melted sugar, letting that harden, then grinding the resulting sugar/lavendar mixture, sounded amazingly tasty, I was thinking we'd do that in little balls dipped in chocolate.
