So comes the end of the first week.  

Posted by 9/10ths Full of Penguins in ,

So there it is. You, the listening public, have survived the first week of Theatre of Noise 2009.

Its been a good week with Wednesday and Friday's shows being particularly satisfying. One of our blathers from Friday's show was chosen to be aired again on the weekly Refresh FM pick of the week show.

We opened the doors of a new feature on Friday night - The Fryer Tuck Shop. This is where we take random (edible) items and fry them in the T.O.N fryer (nicknamed Boris). We then taste the items and rate them on appearance, taste, unhealthiness and ultimately how much we could sell them for in a tuck shop. We fried a Cadbury's creme egg (it was Easter after all) and Marmite flavoured rice cakes. See the score results in the boxes to the right. Just for our own amusement, we fried an avocado. This looked like battered frog and tasted like a herd of wildebeest urinating on your tongue. Don't try it at home for the love of all that is holy...
Over the last couple of nights we have blathered about gyms, germans and thundercats.

Join us at 9pm on Monday night when we will be testing more quiches in Flansubstantiation I will have items hurled at my head in ADVENTURE - our dangerously violent easter memory game.

I too happened to be experimenting with the deep frying of slightly experimental foods last night but failed to read your posting until this morning... sadly, avocado featured on our menu too. :( here's what we made..... queue drum roll please..... Avocado on half a marmite rice cracker, battered and deep fried. Oh my god, words can't describe how vile this monstrosity was. It felt like i was eating molten lard on a leathery shoe... no, worse than that. More like someone had curled one out onto a piece of cardboard that they just found on the floor outside a kebab shop at 4 in the morning, battered it, deep fried it and then forced it down your throat... DON"T TRY THIS ANYWHERE EVER EVER EVER. Also, please don't try to batter a smokey Polish kabano wrapped in cheese. It felt more like i was eating cigarette ends than a sausage.

I think the moral of this story is; while it is possible to batter pretty much anything, some things just aren't meant to be deep fried
