I have encountered a shanda*. A horrible horrible shanda.

The university cafeteria was doing a ~multicultural~ lunch today with various holiday style foods. The previous night I asked if there were going to be latkes. Of course, they would be having vegetable latkes!

At UNC one year they attempted to be all, you know, diverse and stuff in the same way. They made the latkes, well, ingredient-wise, but fried them in bacon grease.

Ah, yeah. UNCA likes its cultural awareness, it just doesn't always know what it's doing.

I've known what a latke was for a long time, but I've never gotten to eat them. I've always wanted to try them though! I love potatoes. :3

That's just sad.
