Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.
Amusingly, any time you see a reference to a chickpea in an ancient Greek comedy, it's probably a dirty joke about the clitoris.
That is seriously awesome.

So good.
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."
That is seriously awesome.
flea brings all the lewd chickpea scholarship to the house.
I'm afraid to ask what hummus is a dirty joke about in ancient Greek comedy.
...and classical radishes up your ass.
Truly, flea is a renaissance woman.

Also awesome to know.
I used to make jokes about aubergines, but a radish would no doubt fit better.
I was totally classics day. In 2 hours at the desk in the library, we had 3 classics questions (considering maybe 500 people at the university of 36,000 take classics at any given time, questions are pretty unusual) and then I got to remind Betsy about the Melian Dialogue.
Mullets - the fish, not the haircut - were also used for the same purpose as radishes (punishment for adultery.)
