Story number 5:

The city where I'm from, Waterford, is famous for 2 things; crystal and blaas. Most, if not all, of you will have heard of Waterford Crystal so there's no real need to bother with that. However, only people who have lived in or near Waterford will have heard of the blaa. So allow me to explain.

The blaa is a soft floury bread roll close to what some of you will know as the bap. However there are many differences. The blaa actually originated in France and was brought to Waterford by the Hugonoughts, a group of French people exiled from their country for some reason or another (probably religion). This roll was covered in flour and therefore looked very white, hence its name; Blaa actually comes from the French word 'blanc' which, of course, means white. Waterford city council provided homes for the Hugonoughts and in return they provided Waterford bakers with the secret of how to make the perfect blaa. Waterford definitely got the better end of that deal :greentoke:

Story number 6:

I was watching an episode of The West Wing a few years back and during the episode the question was asked 'What is the only fruit who's seed grow on the outside'. The answer was ............the strawberry. I was quite delighted with this little bit of trivia, and asked many people the same question thinking I was rather clever. Until i asked a particular friend of mine, who's response was, you're wrong!!!!! How could I be wrong I asked myself, I heard it on The West Wing for fucks sake. But I was wrong, and here's why:

Fruit is, by definition, the ripened ovary of the plant, it is the flesh that protects the seeds. Therefore strawberries are not actually fruits at all :o They are the receptacle of the plant, but as strawberries are the only receptacles we eat, they are bundled in with fruits. This intrigued me even more, so I delved a little further. Many foods we would consider vegetables, are actually fruits. Most of us will know that tomatoes are fruits, but did you know that peppers were as well. Then we come to the humble banana. There's no seeds in there I hear some of you say. Well there is. However commercially grown bananas are sterile, therefore the seeds are tiny. However for some reason, which I cannot remember, bananas can also be classed as herbs.

Apologies if this story seems a little unusual, but I'm very hungover.
