Served on a hoof of course. <br /><br />Someone once told me this whole sushi thhing is going to be really big some day, but I'm not so sure we 'Mericuns will ever go for raw, uncooked smelly fish, wrapped in seaweed and then dipped in horseradish and soy sauce. Who would ever eat that? But mix it with frozen yogurt and you might be onto something big.<br /><br />I actually tried some sushi the other day, if you heat it up in the microwave it's not half bad. Adding a little mustard (French's, not Grey Poupon) really helps bring out the flavor too.Giovannihttp://urbanmyths.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-3338288317836192232014-05-17T00:45:13.469-04:002014-05-17T00:45:13.469-04:00Have you ever had one of their Bagels?...It tastes...Have you ever had one of their Bagels?...It tastes like a boiled Donut with sesame<br /><br />?However if you hate Kosher...its notAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-44521867704838479192014-05-16T23:59:22.179-04:002014-05-16T23:59:22.179-04:00"Somebody should tell Funkiberry before they ..."Somebody should tell Funkiberry before they put any more money into that sinkhole."

A donut, a semi-drinkable cup of coffee, and do they all have the ice-cream co-location now?, well if so a small cup of pralines and cream is about $2.50 and is quite enough for two. And the employees are always polite and helpful in these places. <br />Not really much to bitch about in my book.moehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17231055609852347970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-53881739231381266652014-05-16T19:22:51.285-04:002014-05-16T19:22:51.285-04:00At least it's not a freakin' Tim Hortons.
