I’ve mentioned Babylon 5 before. It’s a TV show that I really like. And did I mention that season 2 is being released on DVD *tomorrow,* and I sure would feel good if someone decided to surprise me with a copy?
Anyway. In an episode of Bab5, one of the aliens is eating with another alien from the same planet.
“Breen. You’ve managed to import breen from homeworld. How?”
“It .. isn’t actually breen.”
“But the smell, the taste…”
“It’s an Earth food. They are called Swedish meatballs. It’s a strange thing, but every sentient race has its own version of these Swedish meatballs. I suspect it’s one of those great universal mysteries which will either never get explained or which will drive you mad if you ever learned the truth.”
With this in mind, I wanted to point out that I just realized that every race on Earth has its own version of the tortilla, even the Norwegians. I suspect that this, also, would drive one mad if one knew the truth.

WOO! Lefse! Hey, thanks for the link. I had one recipe for lefse, and lost it the last time I moved. Now I can try a couple different ones. LOVE the stuff!
it’s called flour and water.
