Game On

Welcome to the first installment of our weekly Friday game, WTF IS IT?!? Each Friday (maybe) we'll put up a photo of some exotic and supposedly edible foodstuff. First reader to correctly identify the thing will win.... ...the smug knowledge that s/he is an insufferable know-it- all. You're naturally invited...

Welcome to the first installment of our weekly Friday game, WTF IS IT?!?

Each Friday (maybe) we'll put up a photo of some exotic and supposedly edible foodstuff.
