Want me to cut and paste it? I can see it fine and I'm not logged on at NYT or anything.

And after le soup, you will have the mummified, half-digested body of a fish, poached in stomach acid? Tres bon, mademoiselle. For dessert, there is a Jersey dairy cow boogersnot custard reduced to a rubbery texture and wafflestamped by a pair of VANS which have been in le garage for seven years. Or pie.

eh, if you can see it and no one complains, then i guess it's a moot point, ico.

i liked the comment about dude wearing a hat with a soup bowl affixed to the top.

that and the obvious glee the NYT reporter seemed to get out of the whole topic.

context: right before i opened this link, i had just read a delightfully stuffy snobbish review over in the 'food and dining' section.

on preview, yea what Ambrosia Voyeur said.

I plan on never trying Bird's Nest Soup, which is supposedly teeming with bird poop and saliva. It's one of the things on my list of Things Never To Do Before I Die ;P

huh. and here all this time i thought bird's nest soup was just potato pancakes...not that i've ever tried it, mind.

I just watched a Puplic TV show on Typhoid Mary. She lived on one of those islands. I would suggest NOT eating the soup.

Seriously though, does this guy have the best job ever, or what?! I envy him.
