Dolls in the Kitchen

Spam, spam, spam, spam, spammity spam !

Savez-vous d'où vient le mot spam (pourriel pour les anglophobes) ? (wiki mon ami ici)

D'un sketch un poil musical des Monty Python où l'emploi du mot spam -désignant alors une sorte de viande en boîte qui fut le "régal des marins" comme sans doute le biscuit de mer ou le pain de nain- devient une sorte d'épidémie logorrhéique : les clients du Green Midget Café de Bromley se voient proposer un menu où chaque plat contient plus ou moins du délicieux spam, et à chaque prononciation dudit mot, la machine s'emballe et un chœur de Vikings entament un chant guerrier à la gloire du spam.

Ce chant est d'ailleurs une reprise enlevée de "Viking Song" de Samuel Coleridge-Taylor datant de 1911, ce qui explique la présence de ces braves nordiques, quant à celle du professeur de hongrois elle provient, elle, d'un sketch précédent issu de la même émission, bref, ça palimpsestise à tout va !

Sans plus attendre, voici cette joyeuseté culinaire, pour la plus grande joie de vos yeux et oreille ébahies ;)
