The Loch Ness Monster pops up in the strangest places….
In my daily web trawl for all things Loch Ness I come accross some odd places where our beloved Loch Ness monster pops up.
The latest incarnation seems to be as an omelet in Las Vegas. Thier self named ‘Loch Ness Monster’ is a exciting concotion of Gulf shrimp, avocado, cheddar cheese and …wait for it….6 eggs! I’m not quite sure why this combination leads to it being named after our most famous resident (the shores of Loch Ness are not known to be groaning under the weight of avocado trees, and it ’s not the eggs - all of this place’s 41 types of omelets are made with 6 eggs!). Still - when one of our local hoteliers takes his holiday to the casinos of Las Vegas shortly - Ill know where to send him! (Ah heck - see the menu here )
Keeping to the theme of eggs… The Waterhorse: Legend of the deep will be released in UK cinemas on Feb 8th 2008. As of Jan 29th it has taken $39,580,173 at the US box office.
And now for something completley different.
