Seeing as there are loads of Terry Pratchett and Discworld-based comments all the time around the Halfbakery, how about a restaurant based upon the novels. Rat would be served with ketchup, and the theme music would be the dwarves theme song 'Gold', which consists of the lyrics: 'Gold, gold, gold, gold, gold', etc, to varying tunes, along with Rincewinds' potatoes (served by those beautiful women he meets somewhere along the line), along with the entire cast of take-outs that have featured in his books over the years.-- froglet, May 27 2005 Detritus http://www.ie.lspac...s-who/detritus.htmla discworld troll [po, May 29 2005] 'Nanny Ogg's Cookbook' by Terry Pratchett http://www.amazon.c...026-1432907-2648431Discworld cookbook. [DrBob, May 31 2005] Rat without ketchup is a lot cheaper.-- baconbrain, May 27 2005 [+] And Luggage could be the hors d'oeuvres waiter.-- Adze, May 27 2005 Bun onnastick!-- zeno, May 27 2005 At some point during the evening, peoples' meals should be interrupted by a watch chase. Or possibly an inhumation.-- Detly, May 28 2005 Meat Curry 2 pence Named Meat Curry 6 pence-- gnomethang, May 28 2005 a model of Death of Rats in the corner. I'd visit but I wouldn't eat probably.-- po, May 28 2005 I would cut me own throat just to dine at this restaurant +-- Susan, May 28 2005 I wonder is ^ Susan's ^ grandfather would visit? Am I right, Miss Sto Helit?

We could got Nobby to not do exotic dances.
:)-- DesertFox, May 28 2005 [DF] - I used to use 'detritus' for IRC. I shortened it to 'det,' but then most forums seemed to require a five letter minimum name. Hence, 'detly.' Even though the HB didn't require it, it sorta stuck.-- Detly, May 29 2005 ah! a troll <grin>-- po, May 29 2005 You sayin' 'm fick?-- Detly, May 29 2005 No, we're sayin' dat you're really fick. Joking.-- froglet, May 29 2005 orders come in one, two, many, and lots...-- Eugene, May 29 2005 Sausage inna bun? Ummmmm..... Dare we try them?
We could use B.S. Johnson's manicuring device to peel the potatoes.-- DesertFox, May 29 2005 Maybe if we made a few tweaks and fix the mail sorting machine, and it might make really good mixed salads... For those who like their mixed salads with the lettuce in one corner, the tomato in another, the avocado in another and same with the salad dressings...-- froglet, May 29 2005 And when all is said and done, and eaten and drunk, Nanny Ogg's chocolate desert and a trip to the dark room in the back.-- zeno, May 29 2005 Any slanting floors or narrowing hallways here?-- mensmaximus, May 29 2005 "Eat 'til it hurts at 'Harga's House of Ribs' "-- gnomethang, May 29 2005 [zeno] - did you mean that double entendre?-- Detly, May 30 2005 STAY AWAY FROM THE SORTING MACHINE!.

<ANY CHANGE OF GETTING SOME KLATCHIAN CURRY?>-- Susan, May 30 2005 Can we locate it on the site of an ancient temple and open on the night of a full moon?-- baconbrain, May 30 2005 //Can we locate it on the site of an ancient temple and open on the night of a full moon?// Er, if you think that there's a market for it, yes..?-- froglet, May 30 2005 It would be out of business pretty soon [froglet] (vast knowledge of discworld aquired for this <wink>). I think [baconbrain] might not like this idea-- Susan, May 30 2005 What about Nanny Ogg's Bananana Surprise?
And if you drink too much Winkle's Old Peculiar, there is always the Klatchian Coffee.-- DesertFox, May 30 2005 Yeah, I know what you mean. It was only after I posted that that I thought... Doh!-- froglet, May 30 2005 //And if you drink too much Winkle's Old Peculiar// I prefer 'Turbot's Really Odd'.-- gnomethang, May 30 2005 // I prefer 'Turbot's Really Odd'.// You sure you wouldn't rather have some of this scumble? It's made from mostly apples.
From experience the dwarf cake, the rat pizza* and Englebert's enhancer are all good. (From nanny Og's cook-book.)
*Doesn't actually contain rat.-- RobertKidney, May 30 2005 Oh dear oh dear oh dear oh dear.-- Basepair, May 30 2005 We could have Rincewind do a non-magic show.-- DesertFox, Dec 19 2005 Haha... do you still have to be over 18 to drink Counterwise wine?
