FLAVOUR Illustration Friday

Following the dawn of the frying pan, the diet of the earliest human beings was pancakes. All flavour lay invisible and unknown in the sky until people discovered that pancakes aquire flavours whilst up there. Eventually tastebuds arrived, but before that humans had to absorb flavour directly into the mind before eating if they wanted to taste anything. Now we have the ability to taste with our mouths and eat at the same time. After millions of years of pancake making most flavours have transferred from the sky to the ground and spread everywhere since, creating a wider veriety of edible things. People still make pancakes but there's not much flavour in the sky anymore, that's why we have ceilings now.

How can you see this post while I can only get to it thru edit posts? Anyway. Lilac Anonymous.. I can't recall the monkey hat story so I think my brain probably is slightly elsewhere. I don't look like a monkey but who knows.

AnonymousLilac I know you were being nice and I was being a little cheeky. Thanks for the link I can see a hat pile-up and the concept of mind/ hat has taken new meanings. Monkey business, I'll check it out.

Pancakes, yes! Almost used the subject, as yesterday I cooked one that had the image of my dog on it (this is now the Year of the Dog, you know). Miracle of miracles... I was going to keep it in the icebox and report to the tabloids, but my daughter fed it to the dog when I was getting my camera. Cool illustration and story!

Thank you so much for the culinary history lesson! I had no idea...so that's why people flip pancakes up in the air! It must be part of the collective unconscious or something...
Ah, you are very funny and make great drawings to boot. You also draw great boots, to boot. Hmmm... I better go before I get the boot. Happy New Year!
