Perhaps something in the Parsnip vein - say this?

Fifty-nine bucks for a parsnip?!? What is this, Fortnum & Masons?

[tongue in cheek]Not sure if this'll help Steve[/tongue in cheek] - more relevant to Will - but when I was a student all I wore in winter was a T-shirt and a beer jacket

Have just consulted the in-house professionally-trained food person and apparently parsnips are the perfect training food, being just the right balance of carbs and other goodies, and they go straight to your legs on account of the sharp, pointy shape....

It depends at which end you try inserting it, Phil!

What a coincidence. I've just mastered parsnip puree (includes butter, milk and seasoning). I'll slap some between two slices of bread and use it to replace power bars - bread for carbs, milk for protein, salt for ... salt? and the hidden benefits of parsnips as the secret wow factor.

So have all the pro's being secretly using parsnips all this time? They'll have to ban them soon!

As I understand it, the bags of blood in Dr Fuentes' freezer alleged to belong to Ullrich were marked with the nickname "Pastinaca" - Spanish for "parsnip"... ...it can't be a coincidence, can it?
