Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hold up. Wikipedia tells me those are what are generally called "currants" anyway: [link] So one would be safe calling their current scones authentic with the Zante currants in.
OH! That wikipedia page reminds me -- ita, is bun and cheese an Easter thing? I saw that on someone's Facebook page, and now I wish I had had some this weekend.

The Greeks also had a verb (which appears only in comedy, natch) which I first encountered defined as "to shove a radish up the fundament."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
That is seriously awesome.
flea brings all the lewd chickpea scholarship to the house.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I'm afraid to ask what hummus is a dirty joke about in ancient Greek comedy.

Also awesome to know.
I used to make jokes about aubergines, but a radish would no doubt fit better.
