Eating wood

Well, it's not really eating wood. That would taste better. There's a British snack food called Twiglets. They're sort of based on pretzels, I think.

Actually, the reason I got to know them is that I like the TV show Whose Line Is It Anyway. (The original British one, that is. The American spinoff is funny, but the British one is much better, because it's not censored so much, and it doesn't feature Drew Carey. But that's for another blog entry.)

Paul Merton was a frequent contestant in early seasons of the show, and he was always joking about Twiglets. I got to try some at the very first Whose Line convention back in 1998. Here's some more info about this awful snack food.
