That's it, no more FoodTV at bedtime!

Last night I dreamt that I was a sous-chef on a televised cooking show. I chopped up some elephant garlic for the chef, but when he told me to add it to the dish without peeling it first, I said, "I've had enough of your bad boy cuisine!" and walked off the set.

Notes: Last night I mentioned to [livejournal.com profile] monshu that I'd learned the Indonesian for "fried egg" and it was telur mata sapi or "cow eye egg". As odd as this sounded, I told him, it made much more sense to me than German Spiegelei or "mirror egg". This prompted me to ask him for the French, but he didn't know it so here we are. As sunny side up seems to be the default, most of these languages don't have a lexicalised term; if it's important to specify, one says the equivalent of "cooked only on one side".
