But, it tastes like battery acid?

The recently-random bits.

The CdC took some time off to get things a bit more lighthearted around here which meant having to rehire our Deep Humor Archivists to dig up the funnies. Thus we’ve learned that the largest Spanish tortilla in the world (ES) was made recently. Except! It’s not actually the largest as it has been fully and utterly invalidated due to its lack of onion. They claim this to not be important as apparently, the most essential ingredient is to “make it with care”. Well obviously, as there are bucket loads of care in something made with 15,000 eggs.

Sugar is being allowed as an addition to the wines in Bordeaux for 2024 (FR) in order to “guarantee the quality” of the vintage because as we all know, only the best wines are made by dumping sacks of sugar in the tanks and chaptalizing ‘til the cows come home. Next year’s En Primeur campaign will more than likely take note of this by mentioning the “surprisingly ample aspect to the wines despite ripening issues” or whatever else will (maybe) move bottles.
