My friend JP is a genius. He may be recorded among the all time greatest chefs, when the time comes for recording such things. He introduced me tonight to a new category of food I call “Fusion Junk Food“. We had as a snack, “Hot Stuff” Jays BBQ potato chips, shark fruit snacks, and carrots. I know. It seems weird, odd, and maybe like one of those not-that-tasty-sounding- but-somehow-ends-up-tasting-ok things, but that seems to be the calling card for all “fusion” food anyway.
Potato chips and fruit snacks might combine to make you feel sick, but add in the carrot, and suddenly you walk away from the snack bar feeling good about yourself for eating so well. Jalepeño twinkies, celery ice-cream and eggplant beer are just some ideas I’ll throw out there to illustrate my point, but I’ll save the real fusion work for the expert – my friend, JP. I’m convinced it could become a new diet fad, which doesn’t actually help you lose weight, but tastes good and makes you feel like it’s healthy, even though it isn’t. I love it.
JP must move in very exclusive circles. His ‘Fusion Junk Food’ sounds very much like the menu available at Heston Blumenthal’s world-famous Fat Duck restaurant in Bray, England.

you guys are just plain gross.
