tealinHAHAH! This is hilarious. Almost a week ago my sister and I were joking about renaming Danishes, and here, they've gone and done it!
I prefer our name, though ... 'Infidel Pastries' has such a better ring to it.
If, as quoted by Ronald Wright, 'Every time history repeats itself the price goes up,' would these be very expensive confections?

(Any thoughts on this, A²?)
Si, es verdad

Malay is very cool. In Malaysia of old times (before the British) there was no ice. When ice showed up, the Malays needed a name for it, so they combined their words for water (ayer) and stone (batu) and came up with ayer batu. Batu is also the Malay word for "Mile" because the British put up mile stones on the major roads. These were literal stones with the mileage to the next town inscribed on them.

P.S. The next part I'm going to audition for is Brutus in "Julius Caesar," just to see my moniker and that part in combination.
