Oooo - I especially like the blue!

I always wondered what a gyro was...


Ok, I cheated and consulted Prof G. It's either passion fruit or strawberry guava. I'm going for guava because there's a little knob at the end of the mystery fruit.


Lovely cw of Merises!


Bravo, Croisette!

Thank you Professor G and Xincinsin!

One of the best foods.....Sweets!

Meat cones! https://www.alamy.com/greek-gyros-s...e-focus-and-vintage-style-image187396615.html

Just, you know, don't call them gyros to a Turkish person or döner to a Greek person.

The cheap version, only consumed by the very drunk or by those who should have known better, is made from minced meat and drowned in horrible dressing - the upmarket one is from skinny cuts of meat tightly compressed in a turning skewer, served with a salad and a proper dressing.

Riffing on @xincinsin revelation about date palms on Mythiques Phoenix: Wrapped myself in MP goodness today and picked up a goodie on the way home—the date-filled fruitcake, a fondness for which I am the only person I know to profess, although the matchy-scarf green cherries were a little less tasty than I recall from the ramp up to last holiday season.

Beautiful CW of Andalousie!

Bunny, bunny, bunny - those aren't ice cream, those are döner! A short obituary for the Turkish-German inventor of döner kebab here: https://www.thelocal.de/20090122/16943 and pics of the huge meat cones they shave the meat off of, which the scarf shows in (and on top of!) the shop here: http://kculvertechberlin.blogspot.com/2010/07/doner-kebab.html

Warning for vegetarians - yes, that's a lot of meat in those pics.

Also, despite the tone of the articles above, döner is perfectly tasty while eaten sober.

Good eye!!

Beautiful and sombre combi for a day of memory.


Thank you to you for adding to my knowledge of the really old scarves!


Thank you, Julide!
I was starting to think that maybe I should find material by an ethnographer who studied them (can you tell that I did sociology and ethnography in the university? ) And there really is someone who studied them! Franz Boas who wrote an entire book about them. I might have to order it off Amazon as the Singapore public library doesn't have it. But for all of us who adore the scarves about explorers, when I searched Franz Boas on the library app, it threw up a rec for "Explorers' sketchbooks" which covers 70 explorers, including Shackleton!
Oh, and I just found out from the Milwaukee Public Museum website a reason for some of the vast array of animals on this scarf: there are four clans - Raven, Killer Whale, Eagle, and Wolf


Me too. I probably need to hunt down more info in Chinese. A woman's skill in needlework was a very important factor in marriage eligibility in some of the minority tribes. I have a book on how to sew and embroider various traditional items, words and a few black&white pictures, so thank heavens that there is the internet!

I had some exposure to doing ethnography in grad school and beyond. Liked the approach of Franz Boas. Did you know there's a new book on him, "Gods of the Upper Air: How a circle of renegade anthropologists reinvented sex, race and gender in the 20th Century? (author, Charles King). BTT.

I'll look out for it

And to get back to topic before Kitty Cop comes by, here is my SOTD. All that talk of ice cream made me hop over to the nearest Baskin Robbins for a photo at 7am this morning Yep, it's Wednesday and I can get a discount for wearing pink! (Sorry! I'm a week ahead. Just couldn't save this till Pink week ). I snapped and dashed before security could come and ask me what I was doing
Triples has a cafe, a baguette and feeding the pigeons. And three people is surely a social gathering
