oh my god, i'm back again

for my first back-in-oz post, i'd like to introduce the concept of all-you-can-eat souvlaki, often abbreviated souva because we can never let any word go without a diminuitive around these parts, can we?

then i'd like to direct your attention to what souva-makers apparently like to do in their spare time, which seems about right for those who have decided to make skewered meats their life passion. (please note that the link on the page is for their "achievement"; someday i hope these resourceful souvlakieers will find another world record to break so that we can change that to the more prestigious-sounding "achievements").

many thanks to google ads for providing a link to this establishment with an email concerning lunch tomorrow that had absolutely nothing to do with souva, zorba, or greece in general. unless threshermans is owned by greeks? no? didn't think so.

and please pardon the comic sans on ozvlaki's home page. let's not get shofferhoffer all riled up.

There's actually a place where they'll roll you a super-souva, using double of everything, bread included. Call me crazy, but until society in general is capable of consuming such a monster, then all you can eat souva is probably taking things a step to far.
However, in the great Australian spirit of taking things too far, I can only encourage you to check out Limors where "Too much is just enough". This place will bring you plates of food until it hurts to look at a bread-stick. I'll admit that it's not open until all hours, but hey, you can only eat so-many hours of the day, 'ey?

The moral of this comment, is that if you think someone has outdone things, or taken matters a step too far, the only thing your proving is that, in the immortal words of Mr Jefferson, "Your ignorant". Someone will have already taken things to the nexet level; you just don't know about it yet.
