SCI FI PI

Sometimes things get a little crazy. You get a little too much time on your hands. You obsess over Star Wars just a tad too much. Nooo! You say. That's impossible! It's not true!

But sometimes that line that gets crossed becomes crystal clear. Especially when food is involved. Or Jar Jar Binks. Of course, when we speak of Jar Jar Binks we speak of Star War's most loveable not-annoying character, like ever, a creature who is a living window into the soul of simple folk, a touchstone for the downtrodden and the dispossessed.

Thus we were shocked (and a little bit hurt) when we saw this recipe for slicing up Jar Jar, with relish (not a side order of relish, but with joy-filled gusto!). And that's on the website www.onlyknives.com..

The trick for savage Jar Jar mutilation is to have the skill and patience to create Jar Jar from a root vegetable in the first place, thus making the final assault that more satisfying. Of course, you'll be on your own mental health journey by then

If you do dare to Jar Jar, here's what you'll need.

Ingredients

* 1 large jicama.
* 2 large carrots
* 1 cup red onion
* 1 red pepper
* 1 yellow pepper
* 1 large tomato
* 2 ripe limes
* 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
* 1 teaspoon honey
* 2 tablespoons olive oil
* Pinch of ground cayenne pepper
* Salt and pepper
* 2 tablespoons cilantro


Okay, obviously we're in trouble here. Being non-Americans, we'll have to translate. A Jicama (pronounced hee-ka-ma) is a Mexican Turnip. So let's go with an ordinary turnip. Although a turnip salad doesn't sound that good.

Peppers - well, that's a capsicum to you and to me.

Cilantro - not Diane, no - but coriander, the 'looks like flat parsley but it's not' herb that you get in Thai food.

But if you're willing to give it a go, and if you have the knives, and the patience - here's the result!


Step 1 - The Humble Mexican Turnip



Step 2 - Make sure it's a big one!



Step 3 - The flesh yields to cold steel...



Step 4 - try not to use toxic paint at this point.



Step 5 - tah daaah!
