Wheezer--aren't you paying attention?

T-E-C just linked to a BACON ALARM CLOCK!

I know.  That contraption will attract wasps.  I need to stay focused.

After battering, it would have to be deep-fried, so there are technical issues.

Obviously.

The trick with the dessert version of the "Scotch egg" is that the batter and the layer of meat likely would not cook at the same rate.  I would hope that a tactic similar to that for pommes soufflées might apply, but it would probably have to be done with two deep fryers in short order, and getting the jalebi batter to adhere to the oily meat layer could also present a challenge.

What in the holy fuck are you talking about?

As the subsidiary project, I think I'm talking about coating ground, seasoned, cooked lamb in jalebi batter, with two layers inside.  The core of the "device" is presumptively candied egg yolk ("Yemas de Santa Teresa").  The substituent for the whites is unclear, but "seasoned marshmallow fluff" is probably a good placeholder.

YOUR prose is fascinating, Cordon-Bleu-Breath...tell me you're a trained chef

No, but I at least used to be a competent cook, at both home and catering scales.

That was before the combined effects of Free-Running Disorder, a charismatic Catholic group with a taste for real estate, and an elderly blind cat who wants to live on top of the stove reduced me to surviving on deli salads and fistfuls of Certifed Humane ham (a low standard, but better than nothing, IMO).

I've been pondering whether a layer of candied egg yolks might work as a transitional element in this fever-dream of a dessert monstrosity, by the way.  Hmph... now that I think about it, one could turn the notion of a "Scotch egg" on its head, as well.

Fascinating.  I'm surprised at the lack of tiered efforts, though, or indeed attempts to extend the notion all the way into the dessert realm.  One could imagine some sort of variation upon baked alaska involving a small core of perhaps pistachio ice cream, domed with a deep-fried bird's nest of lamb or bacon, and then covered with a lightly sweetened potato "halva" that gets flambeed.  I suspect an aromatic component such as rose or screw-pine essence might work in this outer layer if paired properly with the meat (and not burned off).

Am I the only one that received junk mail in the early '80s soliciting investments in palladium futures, with the suggestion that Yuri Andropov had something to do with the scheme?

You're the only one of the two of us.  That's for damn sure.

It must have had something to do with filling out the "sponsor information" card at the back of Byte magazine.

It gets dug out of the ground in Africa, or someplace. Then we melt it down, dig another hole, bury it again and pay people to stand around guarding it. It has no utility. Anyone watching from Mars would be scratching their head.

Anybody tried proxy servers?

This just brings me right back to "Montenegro."

Still unbanned, but I have multiple IP addresses

As does nearly everyone with a consumer-grade connection.  Do these magical auto-bannings survive a refreshing of DHCP lease?

The only bad thing about Evel Knievel is that he died before we got CRACK BACK into production.

That's what George Hamilton and Sue Lyon are for.

Evel Knievel is always and everywhere an excellent choice.

Are the hogans of the chick in teal worth mentioning?

Stage right of Bears Shirt?  That's not teal!

Are you splitting hairs, Wheeze, or would you care to tell us the color?

Light blue, sky blue, baby blue, pale blue, cyan, azure, cerulean blue... blue.

Just not teal.

I'd say plain old "powder blue."  No teal.
