The taste of silicon

31 Jul 2005 - Under General By Mandrake

I had an interesting dream just now.. I dreamt that I ate something “interesting”…

In my dream, I was visiting a friend and was talknig to her grandma. Her family was around too and we were just having an aftermeal conversation.

Then her grandma bought out some interesting cakes. On the surface, it looks a bit yellowish and looks a bit rough. Grandma told me that its potato sand cake. “Woo.. interesting name”, I thought to myself. So I asked her what is the cake made of.

“Potato and sand…”, said the Grandma.

“sand….???!?”

“Yes.., you see in World War Two, other stuff are very hard to come by, so we grind the sand down to a very fine powder and use it like floor. Then we mix in the potato for taste.” Grandma told me.

I gave a skeptic look and bite into one. The cake is soft indeed, but it can’t be denied that there isn’t any shred of potato taste, all I taste is the taste of sand. If you had been to the beaches and accidentally tasted sand before, you know what it tasted like. My face curled up into ball of agony and spit it out..

Another family member picked one up and tried it. He said it taste alright, not as bad as he thought too. And then I decided to try again just to humour Grandma. I spit it out again after the 2nd bite..

Weird dreams I tell ya.

    Just reminded me of what I read the other day about “Pica - the urge to eat nonfood items” a disorder mostly women get.
