chris's random thoughts

A picture’s worth a thousand words:

The Indian guys who share my office made me eat “Kaju Burfi”, which is a candy-like substance made from sugar, ghee, cashews, and bison milk. It is covered in silver foil, which gives it a fish-scale appearance. Apparently, silver foil is good for your health. “It makes you younger,” said Raju. I think this is Hindi equivalent to “it makes you strong,” ala Tony Bordain’s “A Cook’s Tour.”

Bison milk.

I shit you not.

As it’s pronounced “Ka-jew Barfy”, I don’t think it’ll catch on in the states. “Hey, Billy Bob, pass me that there box of kaju burfi.” Some marketing weenie will rename it “Super Mega Cashew Power Bar…” I can just see the packaging: a starburst pattern ejaculating, “Energized with Bison Milk!”.

It wasn’t bad.
