Now They're Just Being Ridiculous!

I've had a posting that I've been putting off for awhile but after today's occurence I can hold back no longer.

I once read a wise man's msn name that said "Knowledge is knowing tomatoes are fruit, wisdom is knowing not to put them in fruit salad." Okay it was Brian's msn name so maybe wise man is stretching it a little, but I gotta give credit where credit is due.

My very first night in Korea, the owner, Brian (not wise man Brian) took me to dinner at a place called Vips that is buffet style and they had a chocolate fountain. I thought it was a little strange to see Brian eating a chocolate covered cherry tomato but he laughed about it to his wife so I thought maybe he had just done it to be stupid.

Then I saw tomato popsicles.

Another time I was given a glass of tomato juice - which i should point out I've never drank in my life, because I think it looks gross - sugary tomato juice was no better.

Today was Gina's (our secretary) birthday. Brian brought in a beautiful looking cake with glazed fruit on top, mangos, kiwis, mandarins...and cherry tomatoes....
the cake was okay, though i did pick the cherry tomatoes off, something about sugar glazed tomatoes just doesn't appeal to me...

It is a strange, strange little country.
