The "Shenzhen Daily" really had fun with that one, but see the June 28 entry of the following blog for another side to the story.

Today I was introduced to a new dessert at Basil Thai restaurant in Kowloon Bay.

Banana Pudding, which is ''baked and then put in the freezer, then taken out to thaw.''

I am not so sure that the freezer thing is part of what makes it delicious. Probably more like they make it in bulk and store it in the freezer.

Doug, I'd be checking if that freezer had any pork products in it.

Mrs M is a huge fan of Thai Basil at Pacific Place, so I will no doubt soon be able to partake of this very dessert.

Mass-produced Thai food - what will they think of next?

Well, I was going to read the Diamond book, but maybe I'll wait for your review...especially since you "left it Australia"... I'm sure, given your characterization, it was an accident, really...

Truthfully, I forgot it in Oz. But it is one of those books driven by an ideology to fit facts to a thesis.

The review might be a while - I'm not expecting to read it for a few months now (when family visit from Oz). but I'd be interested if you read it what your thoughts might be.
